Often we want to skip our challenging emotions and just feel better. But the way to feel better is to pass through our emotions, or to let them pass through us. This way they can be released and we will come home to land within our self.
We often fear we might be overwhelmed, drown or that our feelings won’t end, if we really let ourselves have them. But this is a trick of our mind, trying to protect ourselves.
Feelings will always pass. That is their nature. They are always moving.
And so with becoming more grounded in our body and our awareness, we can learn to trust ourselves to have them.
