The Blessing in Honoring all Emotions
Be positive - and be negative too. Most of all acknowledge and love both within ourselves to find self-love and abundance. Blessed be.
Like me I’m sure you too have seen articles that suggest it is purely through positive thoughts that we create abundance, striking fear into the hearts of the human (fallible) masses.
Fortunately, this notion disregards two aspects:
One, that we need to process our feelings as they help us identify unhealed wounds, and
Two, the Law of Abundance works in accordance with the Laws of Magnetism, Time and Gravity. The Law of Abundance does not work in isolation, nor is it a static medium that we engage by manipulating our emotional register.
I read this again today as I was researching. Isn’t it marvelous how reading something a second, third or even fourth time helps to anchor and add depth to the message?
This extract from Doreen Virtues’ 10 Messages your Angels Want you to Know expands upon the imbalance of only holding to the positive and disregarding all else even though our ‘negative thoughts’ are crying out for attention.
I’m saving this and I suggest you do too.
Note: I read God as including Source/Infinite Intelligence and Heaven as harmony and inner peace.
A splintering effect… occurs if you deem that your energy levels are unacceptably high or low. The ego is a harsh judge who refuses to hear reason from the physical, emotion, intellectual, or energy bodies - even though these bodies have important messages to deliver.
The key to health is to accept, love, and have compassion for all of your four earthly bodies. No one likes to be judged or rejected, and that includes you. You can literally love yourself to complete health by having a compassionate parental relationship with yourself. This means that you care deeply for, guide, and manage yourself.
For example, using the example of loneliness, at first you may not be aware of what the feeling is or where it originated. So you begin with the feelings you can identify, such as pangs of emptiness, undeservingness, fears that others don’t enjoy your company, and so forth.
These are admittedly not enjoyable feelings to have. It can feel easier to reject or numb them. There’s a sense of feeling worse about yourself if you own up to ‘less than perfect’ feelings.
This slippery-slope process then affects the intellectual, energy, and physical bodies. A person who rejects the emotional symptoms of loneliness may then have thoughts of being unworthy, which in turn lowers the person’s energy levels, which then impacts their health.
This is the domino effect of judging yourself. Rejecting any part of your physical, emotional, intellectual, or energetic self always results in the opposite of Heaven. Instead of nestling deeply into the comfortable folds of God’s love you withdraw into the folds of cold darkness, which compounds the sense of separation, loneliness and feeling unloved.
The path of healing is the same as the path of love: unconditional compassion and acceptance for that which seems unacceptable to the perfectionistic, judgmental ego. [My emphasis]
As we learn to honor each emotion as a guiding force, we open the door to deeper self-awareness, transformation and self-love. Even though most of us were not raised with this, consider: What if we trust that we are feeling what is needed in exactly the right moment and, rather than shunning our feelings, we begin to explore their source?
The truth is every feeling, whether deemed “positive” or “negative,” carries valuable insights leading us back to our infinite selves and inner peace. Including aligning us with our Divine knowing and abundance of all good things that are rightfully ours.
Blessed be
