Be Your Own Best Friend
I congratulate all of you who took a stand this January to build a brighter life for yourself in 2009. Many of you who are making this transition with the assistance of Divine Presence have already told me that "old" feelings are surfacing in you, and that you no longer feel the need to run away from them or deny their existence. I salute your attention and your perseverance in feeling your feelings and loving yourself through the process!
Feeling our emotions is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves--whether we are receiving Divine Presence/the Oneness Blessing or not. Stuffing our feelings creates a lot of problems for us in life, including:
* We lose personal power and creativity
* We open ourselves up to physical dis-ease
* We diminish access to our inner guidance
* We decrease our ability to experience more pleasant emotions
* We create new (frequently unpleasant) situations to help us feel and heal the emotions we are avoiding
So instead, I invite you to be your own best friend and start being very attentive to your feelings. Difficult feelings, when fully experienced, allow you to break free from limitations in your life. These limitations may have been adversely affecting your life for decades, but you have the power to clear them, simply by feeling your feelings and allowing in Divine Grace! How cool is life!
In talking with a client this week, it struck me it might be helpful to look at feelings this way--Do you ever just want somebody to give you their 100%, undivided attention for a little while? Sometimes (I must admit) I find that when somebody will just hear me out completely on a situation, I don't even care what the outcome is anymore. I feel such joy at just being fully heard for once! Maybe if we look at our feelings from this perspective, they can become far less scary, and we can better grasp our role in this sacred and profound healing process.
