Insights
1. The Flow of Energy:
Emotions carry dynamic energy. When we allow ourselves to fully feel and process our emotions, that energy moves through us, creating forward motion in our lives. Unblocked energy fosters growth, creativity, and clarity.
2. The Consequences of Suppressed Emotion:
When emotions are controlled or driven down, the energy builds pressure, like water dammed up in a river. This suppression can lead to frustration, exhaustion, or a sense of being stuck. Processing emotion allows this energy to be released and utilized.
3. Emotion as Truth:
Sometimes the most authentic truth for a person is found in their emotions. By being present with what is true—whether joy, grief, anger, or fear—we access the energy needed to move forward in our lives.
4. Process vs. Fulfillment:
The motion of emotional energy often feels like a process—raw, dynamic, and sometimes chaotic. Unlike the steadiness of balance or fulfillment, process is about being with the truth of the moment, allowing the emotional energy to guide us toward transformation.
