Understanding the emotional body

Many of us do not take care of our emotional body placing too much emphasis on the spiritual or physical body and so many are left wondering why they do not experience peace from within.
Healthy expression of our emotions assists in our inner peace and opens the channel for the inner voice and feelings of our authentic self to be received.
This is known as intuition, 'a feeling', a knowing, a certain feeling we cannot explain that is something we just know that goes beyond reason or thought.

This is our natural way of being, an expression of our true selves untouched by fear of our human conditioning.
The struggle that we all experience is listening to this knowing that cannot be explained by the human mind and taking a leap of faith and learn to trust what we know deep within and allow our world to be created based on the knowing feelings we receive.

If we choose to confront and understand the feelings that make us feel uncertain of ourselves, we are less likely to react to our emotions.
Learning to be with how we feel till the emotions calm we then can take sacred time to receive intuitively and choose our direction with authentic knowing, choosing this we walk our spiritual path with our true self beyond our human casing.

When we realise that our emotional body is the bridge to expanding our spiritual and physical worlds we may pay more attention to learning and listening to the daily 'triggers' that sets off a flood of feelings that are in need of releasing.
When we are emotional we cannot not feel or hear our spiritual self, when we are emotional we block our capacity to manifest our hearts desires in our physical world and create energetic blocks that can further down the track manifest in the physical body causing illness.
To release is to feel, not to distract or react but to be our strength and to feel.
When we choose to feel we are choosing to let go of the past.

We can begin to raise awareness (pay attention) to our emotional body by using the two most powerful tools - writing and creativity.
The emotional body needs expression to keep it healthy and balanced if we do not express how we feel we begin to feel uncertain of who we are and we carry more fear blocking us from moving forward.
Writing and creativity is a safe way to understand and unravel the feelings that have been stored within.
Making regular time to express and to understand your emotions is not only the road to inner peace but to spiritual growth as we begin to understand ourselves we can also offer the wisdom revealed through our experience to others.

A Native American Indian elder said to me a few years ago - 'Allow your feelings to blow through you like wind and you will be strong like a tree rooted to Mother Earth'.
This changed my life I hope me sharing makes you feel that you are worth understanding the brilliance you are.

Much love,
