Experiencing Powerful Emotions

Emotions. We all have them. Many of us try to manage them. But where do they come from and why do some of us feel them in ways that can feel almost uncontrollable?

In this podcast, I get into the truth of what it can be like to feel and experience big emotions. Taking it from an energy informed perspective, I identify emotions as powerful messages from the soul. Sometimes warnings, others information sources about self and other, often keys to our own healing, our 'feelings' are an important part of the voice of our soul. You feel a lot? That is your soul talking. LISTEN!

The big takeaway point here is that there is nothing to be ashamed of. Having big emotions can be an enriching and nourishing part of life.As we discuss, the problem many of us experience with emotions is that we are taught to ignore and repress them. To judge self and other for having them. Guess what? That kind of repression can lead to explosions and lash outs. This in turn winds us into situations where one winds up destroying the very relationship, activity, or experience they were feeling so passionately about.

Key things we can all do? Learn to form healthy self-communication habits where we evaluate our state-of-being. Regular outlets of self-expression through writing or physical exercise can help with grounding. Learning to hear the message in your emotions is a key suggestion that I make in this podcast. (Come back for more installments where I will examine other facets of emotions as energy.)

As I say in the podcast, caring powerfully about something is a good sign. It only gets destructive when have not yet figured out how to discern the message in our emotions and to positively direct the energy they represent. Learning how to experience and appreciate them as that supports emotional intelligibility and personal energy management. This is something I care a lot about. Here are some resources to support your journey (stay tuned for more):

Though I did not speak about it in this podcast, another reason that we experience major emotions is that we are not grounding our energy.

Do you have any energy related questions you would like me to address in a podcast? Let me know! I would love your suggestions. 

*I know I asked you to place them in my spotify q and a spot. The host company seems to have taken that down probably to do with other controversial things happening on this platform. Please visit me at my instagram or websites to submit an idea for the show. I truly would love to hear what is driving your curiousity out there!*
