Emotions! Friend or Foe?

O’ My EMOTIONS! Friend or Foe?

Driving along on an extremely hot southern day I watched as the temperature gauge edged higher and higher on my car. When it hit the “red zone” I pulled over at the next gas station. What do you think? Did I take a hammer and start pounding on the red light? Did I clip the wires going to the gauge in that old ‘beater’? Nope. But, that’s what a lot of people do when their emotions get up in the “red zone”.

What are emotions and feelings for? Are they a nuisance, an inconvenience, an embarrassment? Are they something to revel in when you’re “up”, and wallow in when you’re “down”?

Emotions and feelings are the gauges of life. When they stay in the positive zone of experiencing peace, joy, love, contentment, that is your beautifully made system telling you how your life is going ~ telling you YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

Remember the Law of Attraction? When you feel great, your energy is good, and you are attracting good things. When you feel down, sad, worried, afraid, your energy is low, and what you are attracting, you really don’t want.

Don’t get out the hammer and beat yourself up.

EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS ARE THE GAUGES OF LIFE. APPRECIATE YOUR EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS. THEY ARE THE MESSAGE OF YOUR HEART.

LEARN TO READ THEM. LEARN TO UNDERSTAND YOUR EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS, PROCESS THEM and move through them. Learn to use your feelings to read the temperature of your life making adjustments where needed.

“Emotions and feelings make lousy slaves, and horrible masters.” Dr. Peck taught us. When emotions and feelings are numbed by food, electronic games, TV, drugs, alcohol, or just plain denial they never die, -- they never go away. They may be denied, beaten, starved, and locked in the basement; but, as one author titled her book “Feelings Buried Alive Never Die”. They will ultimately rebel and overtake the house. Stuffed, denied emotions and feelings manifest as melancholy, depression, pain, sickness, disease, even cancer.

The opposite extreme is no better. When emotions and feelings are the “Master” of the house, the person becomes a victim. Whatever emotions and feelings pop up ~ depression, anger, or bitterness ~ it dominates the helpless person who then feels like a victim. Without the knowledge and the tools, the person remains a helpless victim.

So, what’s the answer?

LEARN HOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR EMOTIONS, FEEL YOUR FEELINGS, AND LEARN TO UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE THEY BRING. Once you learn the message, their job is over for now, and they can calm down. Having a full toolbox of energy tools handy is essential.

The first step is spiritually connecting to the Divine Source-Creator, and your Higher Self. Then, grab some energy psychology tools like EFT and learn how to use them. If you can, find an EFT Facilitator-Instructor to help you learn the basics.

Using energy tools like EFT and spiritual kinesiology is a way to get to the root of the problem, interpret the message, and clear out the old patterns. Joy, true happiness, peace, love, and a new outlook on life are the results you can enjoy.
