How much of our lives is spent trying to arrange things so that we feel a certain way? Or to push away unwanted emotions like sadness, grief, anxiety, or frustration? These emotions don’t FEEL good, and in our quest to be happy all the time, we end up resisting many of our emotions. The result isn’t less of those difficult emotions. It’s actually more of them.
What? More?
Yes. These emotions are resistance-based emotions. Emotions that gain in strength and power when we fight against them. Think of frustration. What does it feel like? It’s a tension, a resistance, a pushing against what is.
Yet it still remains that many of these emotions are very uncomfortable, and they can urge us to actions that are sometimes quite harmful. So how can we dwell less within these emotions if we don’t resist them?
Every day, Divine Mother crafts a different painting in the sky for us. Every cloud, every space of blue – it’s always different. We may prefer a sunny day over a cloudy one, or we might be someone who revels in a good storm. But regardless of our preferences, we can hopefully see that the sky is the sky BECAUSE of the changes. That it’s the shifts in the weather that give contrast and color to each day.
What if we accept ourselves, and the people around us, as emotional beings, with feelings that shift like clouds in the sky? Imagine all of the pressure that would be relieved when we give ourselves permission to be what we actually are – feeling beings?
Emotions might cease to become annoyances, and instead be seen as spices – flavours we add to the experiences of life that give those experiences additional meaning and sensation.
What this does is free up energy. It takes immense amounts of energy to resist emotions – it can become exhausting just to make it through a day when we are filled with resistance. And usually, that resistance doesn’t actually make us better – it just increases the emotions we’re trying not to feel.
So FEEL. Be an emotional being. It’s what we are. It’s why Divine Mother is incarnating as you – so she can experience life as a human being. As a FEELING being. When we feel, we take a step closer to Divine Mother. And we free up all of that resistance energy. What will you do with that energy? That’s up to you, but you may just find that the more you feel, the more you will be inspired to use that energy for magical things.
