"We don’t transform difficult emotions as much as they transform us. For this we must surrender and become vulnerable; we must have the faith and courage, humility and strength, to be changed in ways not in our control, shaped by the wild ways of nature expressed through our emotions. This way we get to become more than what we can control, or even imagine. So, if you want to live a passionate life close to nature, give way to your heart and its storms of wild wisdom come to revolutionize you." Jack Adam Weber
No doubt you have been hearing a lot of talk about our emotional state, especially from a quantum physics perspective. So what is all the talk about? It is being brought to the forefront because we must heal our emotions before we can move to higher levels on our spiritual journeys. Our emotions can be, and often are, huge obstacles on our spiritual paths. Emotions are developed in our subconscious mind and stored in our body cells. they are experienced through feelings connected to unconscious and conscious memory. Emotions represent the feminine nature of creation. Women naturally and more easily connect with their emotions more so than the masculine because we dominate the feminine energies as female beings. Our feelings and emotions are intricately connected. Our mental health is our connection to our emotions and this is why we must feel in order to heal emotionally. We feel by allowing our emotions to teach us what we are thinking and believing. Self-reflection is a big part of getting in touch with our feelings and beliefs
On my journey I found journaling to be an effective tool for getting in touch with my feelings. Spending time in nature also get you to opening up to how you feel about your life and the world. Nature is a natural healer because we are a part of nature. So its like going home to our real self when we're out in nature. On my journey I visited the mountains in Georgia, I walked the nature trails, and went to the forrest often. All of these actions help heal my soul. I would visit brooks and just sit for hours listening to the water flowing. It was so soothing to my psyche. I can't tell you how much the ocean healed my soul. The ocean gives you a sense of unlimitedness and calm and makes you feel closer to the Most High. It gives you peace that surpasses understanding!
Then there's Gratitude. Being grateful is the same as living in your truth because when you are truly grateful you have recognized the Source of all that you are grateful for and you honor that Source with feelings of gratefulness. You know that the things you are grateful for came to you by grace and that's a true assessment. always find something in your life to be grateful for everyday! Even if it is the fact that the sun rose this morning.
