The beauty of this earthly experience is not only having this wonderful living temple, our human vessel, but also our ability to feel deeply. It is a gift.
By that, I don’t just mean the feelings that feel really good. I mean the whole range of emotions because they all serve a purpose and have a message.
The evolution of our soul
We incarnated on this beautiful planet to experience being human.
Our souls wanted to come here to evolve & grow. But in order for us to grow, we need obstacles and lessons that challenge us. In this way, we learn to overcome our own perceived limitations.
To me, that’s the beauty of embracing change and opportunities in our lives.
The Divine does not punish us. It gives us exactly what we need for the evolution of our soul, even the experiences we would rather skip.
We cannot just skip to the good part without having experienced the polar opposite. Without the darkness, we cannot appreciate the light. Without the absence of love, we cannot recognize when we are being blessed with true Divine love.
Honoring our journey & emotions
Our ascension path asks us to be authentic. Living with authenticity and integrity means being honest with ourselves about how we feel in every now moment and honoring it.
What do I mean by “honoring”?
Feeling our emotions, of course. In this way, we honor and respect the transitory nature of emotions. We neither repress them nor hold on to them. Emotions are like visitors. They are not meant to stay.
And you probably know the saying: feeling is healing. When we release old stuck emotions by feeling them, we not only purify our energy body, but we also heal. In other words, healing means releasing our emotional attachment to our past and our story. This is how we move from victim consciousness to true empowerment.
Additionally, it’s important to understand that illnesses in the physical body began with a lower vibrational frequency in the energy body. This is why taking care of our energy body is a crucial part of our healing journey.
Celebrating our energy body
As we are energy beings, we are not meant to stay stuck in one state of being. We are, so to speak, designed to allow energy to flow through us.
We have all been conditioned to suppress certain emotions that are labeled as negative. They simply vibrate lower than the emotions that are perceived as positive. That’s all.
Celebrating our energy body is the way forward. When we learn to feel all our emotions by allowing them to flow through us as they arise, rather than pushing them away, and also release old stuck emotions, our energy body will thank us.
Now life force energy can flow freely in our body. Apart from all the health benefits this brings, we are also more deeply connected with the Divine and become co-creators with it.
Self-regulation is key
Gratitude and joy become our natural state of being.
But that doesn’t mean that we will always feel happy. And that’s ok. There’s nothing wrong with us. Emotions are healthy, and feeling is part of life and our human experience.
There will be moments when we feel sad, upset, annoyed, ashamed, regretful, resentful, frustrated, or angry. Remember that emotions are messengers and a natural reaction to our experiences.
What changes as we continue to heal ourselves is that we learn to self-regulate. In this way, we return to a higher vibrational state sooner. As our self-awareness grows, our ability to self-regulate also becomes stronger. It’s a skill.
Cultivating elevated emotions
The further we progress on our healing journey and ascension path, the more we understand the importance of cultivating feelings such as gratitude and joy.
When we are more aware of our energy body and the impact our thoughts & feelings have on it, we naturally want to take better care of it.
Feeling elevated emotions immediately raises our vibrational frequency. Therefore, many begin a spiritual practice to consciously feel more gratitude in everyday life. They start a gratitude journal or mentally give thanks for all the good things in their life as part of their morning routine – their morning prayer or morning meditation.
Avoiding spiritual bypassing
Although we know that feeling joyful is a sign that we are in alignment, we also understand the importance of not falling into the trap of bypassing lower emotional states through our gratitude practices.
The ascension path is not only love and light. Doing the inner work and facing our shadows means acknowledging how we truly feel in that moment. We don’t force ourselves to feel joyful when sadness wants to be transmuted. We sit with our emotions, lean into them, and feel them. All of them.
The goal is to cultivate elevated emotions without spiritual bypassing our evolution by suppressing lower emotions.
Emotional availability as a positive side effect
During these times of transformation, many people on their healing journey realize that they haven’t been truly emotionally available to others in their lives.
As we begin to live more from the heart and see with our hearts, our connections change. Soul connections form when we hold a higher vibrational frequency and embody heart consciousness. The gift of feeling becomes a gift that we share with others.
This is how we create the New Earth. We feel our feelings and honor our energy – our energy beingness – as we embrace our human experience in all its facets.
