Think of emotions as waves of energy that flow through our bodies and communicate to us. We are built to feel a full spectrum of core emotions such as, anger, fear, joy, sadness, excitement, sexual excitement and disgust.
These core emotions help us understand, connect, and communicate with others as well as ourselves.
Yet all too often we complicate the emotional situations by applying mental energy in the form of analysis when all we really need is to acknowledge their presence. When we simply allow ourselves to fully feel our feelings as they come, we tend to let them go easily, this way will save us much distress further down the road.
Unfortunately, over the years, many humans have been taught to believe that emotions are the enemy and that they need to be tamed, pushed down, numbed, or controlled.
It can take great courage to really sit with our feelings, allowing ourselves to surrender to their powerful energies. All too often we set our feelings aside, thinking we will deal with them later, or they are sidelined into a box.
The more we pile up and ignore our feelings, the more overwhelming it can seem to actually feel them. This could also lead to unhealthy behaviours, such as turning to alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, or turning to food to numb out.
The deeper purpose of our feelings is to transform the terrain of our inner world, sometimes creating space for more feelings to flow, sometimes providing sustenance for growth. All we need to do is allow the process by relaxing, opening, and receiving the bounty of our emotions.
