Big emotions, big medicine
“Listen, are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?”
From childhood, most of us are taught to fear our emotions. We’re told to “stop crying” and “calm down” by adults who are struggling under the weight of their own unprocessed feelings.
And so, we bury our emotions beneath the surface and we learn how to “cope” and “compartmentalize” through numbing ourselves with external objects, substances, or habits. We come to believe that these dulling distractions help us to function in the “normal” world.
But what if you began to realize that your emotions are (one of) your super-powers? Your feelings offer a direct connection to intuitive awareness, which is a wellspring of ancestral, cosmic, and embodied wisdom. When you connect to this energetic well within and allow yourself to ride the waves of your wise sensitivities, just watch and see what happens…
You may find that these big emotions ultimately carry big healing energy.
