Emotional pain and Spiritual Empowerment

 

Throughout our lives there will be times when we experience emotional pain.  It can come about when we lose a loved one abruptly.   It can be as simple as a disagreement that escalates due to the inability of the two parties to come to a resolution.

 

Emotions affect people differently.  For some it can have devastating effects driving one into a deep well of depression.  For others it can have the opposite affect where they move on and try to distance themselves from the pain.  And try is what they do.  Unfortunately, since we are feeling creatures this pain moves deeper into the physical body, and can, down the road, have devastating affects on one’s physical and mental stability.

 

How can we deal with these situations?  Can we change the ways we react to the pain?   Is it possible to move on even when the other participant is unwilling to work at this resolution?  That is the big question.  How do we move beyond hurt when we are not given a chance to work it through leaving us to do it on our own?

 

The only choice is to step into that higher place within our Souls, look at it from another perspective and rise up into our own true power.  Is it easy?  For some it is a long, hard road that needs to travelled and for others, those who are in tune with themselves at this deeper level, it is a chance to work on our own personal empowerment, both emotionally and spiritually.

 

Emotions are feelings and for those of us who are sensitive beings, this is one of the hardest challenges we will face.  To not allow our emotions to take over, yet to still give them the importance they deserve.   

 

We have been taught that we need to be strong and use our vast mental powers to work through issues however, sometimes our mind is so entrenched in our Egos that we forget that we are Spirit, here to learn how to manoeuvre through this feeling dimension.

 

So, for today, step into that deeper feeling place at the core of your Being and let it sustain you through the challenges.  Life is full of challenges and it is how we move through them all that lets us know that we are growing.  In allowing yourself to access that deeper place of empowerment that comes from linking up with the essence of your Soul, you will experience the Oneness that comes from your connection to all that is. 

 

In the end it is all about coming into an awareness of who you really are the deepest parts of YOU….that person you see reflected back to you in your everyday interactions with all those other Souls who are also attempting to manoeuvre through this time in 3-d.

Accepting what IS

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

It is Sunday morning and the rain is gently hitting the windows. Many people tend to complain about the rain but being a total Vancouverite, for me, it holds a sense of cleansing within it all…..a familiar feeling.

I have been doing a lot of cleansing as this year has unfolded and while some of it has been a tad painful, it is all in divine right time and order. I am blessed.

Relationships seem to be front and centre for me as they seem to be for others in my world. A coming to grips with what now IS as opposed to trying to retain what once WAS. A time of lessons for one and all.

What would have once sent me into a monumental emotional tailspin is simply opening a new window into my Soul and the heart of the woman I now AM. And SHE is willing to open fully to all that the Universe is now presenting to her……..for acceptance or refusal.

And at the end of the day, it is all about that isn’t it. What we choose to accept into our life and what we choose to let go. All about choice.

Someone (one of those relationships of which I speak) said to the me the other day

“It’s time that you stopped living by your feelings and sensations and start to live in your head”………excuse me I thought.

I realized that obviously this person and I are on completely different wavelengths at this time in our lives and while it is painful on one level for me to acknowledge, acknowledge it I shall.

Acceptance of what is at this now moment and then moving to the next and the next.

The Journey, it does continue.
