... Because it’s all EMOTION. Energy in motion. We FEEL. It’s what we do. That’s us being present. That’s us being human. What a gift.
It’s the next step in the process that gets tricky. When the mind starts to assign value to what we feel. This feeling is “good” and this one is “bad”. What if we changed our relationship to it all? What if the depth of sadness we feel brought tears of joy for what a gift it is to be alive? What if the pain of our heartbreak was a reminder of how deeply we have learned to love?
The journey I’ve been on over the last few months has given me such a deep sense of gratitude for some of the deepest heartbreak I’ve ever felt. It’s weird. And beautiful. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s taking hold. It’s a new relationship to all of my emotions, some of which I wanted to numb for most of my life.
But numbing our pain will prevent us from fully receiving the love that’s the very medicine our soul craves. The bravery you show by being willing to feel so much is rewarded by the gift of FEELING. Love that. Love every bit of it. It’s the juice from the squeeze. It’s the silver lining. Everything you feel is a blessing, so savor it because it’s not always going to be there.
