Embracing the human self
Understanding emotions and not identifying with them~
Let us not forget that we are Divine beings having a human experience. The problem's begin when we forget our Divine nature and replace ourselves with the dream~
Emotions are an integral part of being human. Emotions influence experience and allow for experience. They are a natural part of the human experience.
Aligning with Heart self does not mean one must ignore natural/normal human emotions.
Emotions allow us to understand ourselves and the experience. Emotions allow us TO experience.
For example: if your family member is in a bad mood and attempts to hurt you or another in any way.. emotional or physical... you will naturally FEEL and in turn EXPERIENCE that natural human emotional/mental responses to the situation. The emotion may be fear, anger, sadness, pain, or confusion.. These allow us to understand experience and learn in different states of being. After experiencing the emotion you do not have to remain in the emotional state. You can allow the emotion to flow when you are done experiencing it.
It's so easy to get paralyzed in anger when another shows us anger... because when we are in this human experience while forgetting our DIVINE NATURE.. emotions can lock us into believing that it is who we are.
We must not identify ourselves with the emotion..because identifying ourselves with it is what keeps us in the state. Identifying ourselves with the emotion can make us hurt another because of it. We can inflict the same emotion to another when we believe that we are it ... when we forget our DIVINE NATURE. When we allow the emotions to rule us.. this means that we do not have control of them and that we are not balanced. To experience emotions (anger, pain, sorrow etc) is not what causes an imbalance at all. What causes an imbalance is when we identify ourselves with them.
how many times have you said..
'I AM sad'
'I AM angry'
'I AM scared'..etc.
are you truly your emotions? or are you just experiencing them?
Feeling emotions are indeed a normal process of living. It is healthy and it is part of this human experience. It is important to experience both positive and negative emotions.. since we live in a world or both positive and negative. Since our very own world has it's day and it's night. Negative emotions are natural and important in understanding others, ourselves, and most of all this human experience. All life has a masculine and feminine.. and light and dark... Ying and Yang.
It is important to embrace the self which feels these emotions... Which sometimes feels upset which sometimes wants to just cry because it is normal, healthy and natural.
But when the emotions begin to rule you then you must look within and seek balance. Balance can be found in aligning with HEART because it is in the heart that we learn about acceptance, love and most of all WHO WE ARE and who we are not. We are not our experience.
It is the HEART that is the balance between the LOWER chakras and HIGHER ones.
Positive emotions are just as important as negative ones in order to understand ones experience. In order to share with others and in order to enjoy living.
It is important to understand ones body and responses through meditating in order to understand what it is that can easily trigger one into a state of anger or pain. Is it fear of being hurt? Is it fear of not being loved? Is it fear of loss of control? Is it fear of fear?
You are not your emotions. They are just experiences... a part of this temporary human experience.
Emotions are the fuel for thoughts, patterns and experiences.. therefore when one has a fear of for example : Dogs because of an incident in which one was bitten.. one remembers the emotion which was pain (physical), fear of being attacked, lack of trust in dogs, anger towards the dog.
therefore when one see's dogs the emotions will arise and feed the fear.
But it is through this same emotion which the person with the pattern can learn to let it go. When one is exposed to the same emotion or similar experience one has the opportunity to understand why the emotion is taking control over the person.. and in result one can get to the core of the pattern and break it.
It is officially broken when one RE-MEMBERS their Divine essence.
Aligning to heart allows for forgiveness and allows one to experience their own Divine nature. In so doing one sheds layers.. like the layers of an onion. One naturally begins to align when they experience their own Divinity and in so doing when emotions are experienced one then understands their purpose.
When emotions control us we loose our alignment with Divine nature. Divine nature can be experienced in this human experience. And it does not mean that one will ignore emotions. It means that one will allow emotions to flow without allowing them to CONTROL one... In turn this can be A DIVINE Experience. ;)
