Emotional Healing And How It Affects You

I would say emotional healing is getting back to your natural way of feeling. It's dependent on going back to your natural state, which involves feeling all your feelings the moment they come up. Because once you've felt them, then they will be processed by your heart and they will naturally release.

In my opinion we've been built to be an open channel - sort of like a fountain. But rather than flowing water like a fountain does, instead we are flowing emotion - thoughts and feelings - right through us.

Or allow me to say, that's what we have been intended to do; that's what we were born to do.

But once we get into the world, this wonderful system becomes tainted. Due to the fact we're coached from a very early age that emotions are bad and wrong and you're not supposed to even have them. And if you must feel them, go off in private somewhere and once you're over it, then you can come back to be around all the other sane, rational, ordinary people.

Emotions are an embarrassment, and you need to suppress them or repress them, or depress them - just so you manage them. Just so you get control of your emotions. That's how everyone tells you to deal with your emotions.

Too bad it's the complete opposite of what you should be doing.

Trust me, the last thing in the world you want to be doing is managing your emotions. You don't want to control them. You don't want to stuff them down. Rather, you want to feel them. Or at least, your heart wants to feel them. And you're in for a world of pain when you deny your heart. Maybe not today, but it's coming. You can count on that.

No, you want to open up your heart full and wide and let in everything. Feel everything. Which is the way you become powerful. That is how to become more alive. It's the way you live a life worth living and create the life you want. Returning to that natural state of being equals good emotional health. That's what it's all about. Picture yourself as being an open fountain.

Now look, that does not mean that you go around with your heart on your sleeve, getting your feelings hurt all the time. It does not mean that you're going to end up stuck in despair and darkness. And it does not mean you will fly into a rage just because someone pushes your buttons.

Not at all. Actually,it means you're not going to be afraid of your feelings. It means you will feel more powerful than ever. And it means you're going to be the most alive person you know.

It's indescribable. It's like the best thing you could possibly imagine, multiplied by ten. It's like heaven on earth. That's what emotional healing, and good emotional health can do for you.

If you will just simply feel all your feelings that's what can happen. When you stop fighting and just surrender and let your heart do its job. When you allow all your emotions to enter into your heart.
You can do and be and have anything you want once you learn how to tap into this flow of energy that bubbles up into you in what I call the emotional wellspring.

So I would call emotional healing the steps you take, the choices you make, to open up your heart to feel all your feelings. Then they can just flow right through you. Emotional healing is removing the walls that we've all put around our hearts that keep out or at least restrict that flow of raw material. The raw material of life is that flow of emotion..

Because the raw material we all use to create what happens to us is this flow of emotion that's always bubbling up inside us. It's almost like we need a new label for it, because calling it emotion really limits it so much. It's so much more than what we think of when we think of our emotions. The flow really is life itself.
