Healing your emotions to find more inner peace and balance.

If you have been looking for ways to find more balance in some areas of your life, spend some time today to check with yourself where is it that you feel stuck? If you find that you focus more on the problem rather than finding a solution, often feeling stressed or frustrated or even asking yourself why you keep on attracting the same events over and over again, perhaps it is time to look a bit closer into these aspects to find out WHY it is happening.

When we think an unpleasant thought again and again, it creates an energetic pattern that in turn creates an unpleasant emotion. It maybe fear, doubt, guilt or anger - if these energies are present within us they are there to show us that something is out of balance. If we overlook these thoughts and emotions they may end up controlling our life, causing us to feel more lost rather than connected to ourselves. To be able to heal this we need to look in to the energy of the emotion and understand what it is trying to teach us.

Although, more often than not, we tend to focus on the external factors as the reason why we feel angry, upset or disappointed. We might believe that the cause of our unhappiness is because of someone else’s behavior and perhaps if they change we might feel better and our frustration will just disappear. But in truth, the other person cannot change that for us, nor will that emotion disappear, because this aspect within ourselves is simply being ignored and not understood. Of course, this is not an excuse for the other person’s actions. They may have their own issues to deal with and to learn their own lessons, but if we want to change how we feel, we need to focus on ourselves and our own energy. If we see this as an opportunity for healing we may realize that without these experiences, it’s quite unlikely that we will be drawn to look at these aspects that may have been suppressed. Once this is resolved from within, will you cease to attract these types of experiences because that learning is completed. If we ignore this emotion and pretend it’s not there it’s not going to go away. Even if the other person changes their behavior, we may observe that we will react in the same way when someone else is ‘pushing our buttons’ because within ourselves that energy is not healed and integrated. We cannot control other people’s behaviors, but we can surely change the focus to ourselves. The way we feel internally is ours, therefore no external factor can fix that for us. And because we too are energy, we are responsible for our own energy and for what we think and how we chose to feel.

As an example; if you find yourself often criticizing or judging yourself or someone else, ask ‘what is it about yourself that you are not fully accepting’? Reflect on the question ‘What is this energy showing me, teaching me’? When you understand what it is, accept it and be kind to yourself. Sometimes, because we don’t like how we feel, we tend to block this energy. When we ACCEPT how we feel, we stop resisting and now we can change the energy. This is healing.

My many years of struggling with anxiety brought me to a point where I couldn’t run from myself any longer. I had to face my fears and consider what I was truly fearful about. Was it really something from outside or something within me that I was constantly ignoring, causing me not to live to my full potential. I had no idea I was even hiding from myself but when I understood this, I decided to be kind to myself, to change my thinking and accept who I AM so that I can embrace all that I can be. When I took this step, life opened new opportunities for me to show me what I could accomplish. If I could create fear and anxiety for myself, I could also create peace, harmony and wellbeing.

You are not your thoughts and you are not your emotions, you are beyond that. You are the creator of your reality, so you have great abilities and potential. When you align to who you truly are, you can access these resources to achieve great things.

When you ask yourself questions, you bring to your conscious mind answers that perhaps you didn’t consider before. E-motion is ‘energy in motion’ so when you ask questions you step out of the dynamic of this energetic pattern. Understand it, analyze it, use your conscious mind and change it. Once you have brought it to your conscious mind you now know you have a CHOICE if you want to change it.

When you understand the source of your unpleasant emotion you can change and transform this energy into something creative so that you focus your attention onto something more positive. You know what is positive for you, because it makes you feel good.

Only we can shift this energy within ourselves, because it’s our body, our consciousness and our life. Once you accept it, understand it and integrate it, the external will reflect that peace and balance you have attained. You will attract people and events who are now matching your peace and balance because you are now emitting a different energy - and we do feel each other’s energies even if we realize it or not!

So, what are you willing to let go of and free yourself from? What would you like to feel and what is it you can change to achieve that?
