emotion/essence

What do we do when sadness comes? I have worked with so many people or have known so many people, including myself that struggle with shame when sadness comes. The way that I treat and/or look at the emotions is that when they are coming up it is because they need to come out. It's a chemical process or a natural process. When we resist their waves and we keep them in they actually begin to grow in our unconscious. It becomes like a mold that spores very quickly without our noticing and soon people begin to feel that we have negative energy. As they begin to grow and build we have less and less control over their expression and how they manifest in the world. The emotions are our hard earned pearls gleaned from life's challenges. We cannot escape them by not dealing with them...they will just get transferred to the next person, challenge, job in greater volume etc. If we deal with the emotions as they come we are taking advantage of the opportunity to cleanse and let go in the now and we travel much lighter in life. People begin to feel we have good energy and we then attract more and more into our lives. To take care of yourself means to take care of how you feel. Try not to expect others to take care of how you feel. They are your emotions and are there for you to understand and nurture. The more you understand how to take care of yourself the more wise and dignified you become. There becomes something about you that is different, as if you have been breathed upon by something magical...your essence is different and you become intriguing to others because they will want to have what you have. The hard work of the emotional world is absolutely worth it. Today take care of yourself.
