Feelings

Posted in Thought for the Week.

What do we do with feelings that feel out of control?   Most of us have been taught to push them aside, to bury them even though it feels wrong to do so.  We are told to rationalize and are told things like, “everyone feels bad once and a while, with time you will get over it.”  The first few times we do this it even seems to work.  But eventually we become overloaded with stuffed feelings.  To change this pattern, we can choose to let ourselves feel our feelings, so they can transform.  This begins the journey back to feeling whole, complete and at peace with ourselves.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Create

“By being natural and sincere, one often can create revolutions without having sought them.” —Christian Dior

This is the nature of creating a new reality by being present and genuine.  Because feelings are what motivate us on our journey through life, people are drawn to this essential rightness.  When it feels right we allow ourselves to take a massive step forward and all else pales before it.  — Alain & Jody Herriott

Rejoice

“There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice.” — John Calvin

This is a deep truth.  Everything is an opportunity to rejoice in our ability to experience creation in everything we do.  Here is the kicker.  Most of us experience this awareness intellectually, for as we age and experience life we are simply not as excited about the “little things”.  As we allow ourselves to feel our doubts and fears, really letting them unfold, we again begin to experience the little things as the wonder they truly are.  —Alain & Jody Herriott

Feel

“You learned to run from what you feel, and that’s why you have nightmares. To deny is to invite madness. To accept is to control.” — Megan Chance, The Spiritualist

In a way, this is very true, when we run from what we feel we create great internal imbalance.  When we learn to feel our feelings we unwind the madness. However there is nothing that needs to be accepted or settled for. Feeling is its own reward.  Allowing this we unwind and enter a state of presence; now we simply are. —Alain & Jody Herriott
