Emotional Healing And Why Everybody Gets It Wrong

Emotional healing could be defined as the pathway you take to get back to your natural way of feeling. It truly is dependent on returning to your natural state, which is to feel all of your emotions when they come up. And once you've felt them, they'll automatically be processed by your heart, and then they will release all by themselves. You don't have to do anything else but feel them in your heart!

I believe we were built to be an open channel - sort of like a fountain. And we flow our emotions - our thoughts and feelings - through this open channel rather than water. But it's the same principle.

Or allow me to point out, that's what we have been intended to do; that's what we're born to do.

But the system becomes corrupted once we get into this world. Because we're taught and conditioned from a very early age you're not even supposed to have emotions. They're bad and wrong. 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. Sadly, that's the solution everyone seems to have about how to deal with your emotions.

Which would be great, except it's one hundred percent wrong.

You don't want to mange your emotions. You don't want to control them. You don't want to stuff them down. You want to feel them. Or your heart wants to feel them, to be more precise. And you're in for a world of pain when you deny your heart. You might not feel it today, but at some point you will. Count on it.

No, you want to open up your heart full and wide and let in everything. Feel everything. Which is how you become powerful. That is how you become more alive. That's how you create the life you want, and live a life worth living. Getting back to that state, is what good emotional health is all about. Function as if you were 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 could be described as heaven on earth. That's the promise of emotional healing.

If you will just simply feel all your feelings that's what can happen. When you allow all your feelings to enter your heart. When you let your heart do its job.

You have what I call an emotional wellspring bubbling up inside you all the time, and when you tap into its flow, you can be and have and do whatever you want.

To me, emotional healing involves the choices you make, the steps you take, to open your heart full and wide and simply feel all your feelings that come up. So they can flow through you. Basically, emotional healing involves doing what it takes to tear down the walls you've put up around your heart. Walls that restrict or even keep out the flow of our raw material of life. 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. Calling it just emotion really limits it too much. We really need a new name for it. It's so much more than what we think of when we think of our emotions. It really is life itself.
