Hello Friends and Welcome to the Reclaim-App Podcast. Thank you for being here! We’re looking forward to our conversation today on The Wisdom of Emotions/Head and Heart Connection. A favourite topic of both Liz and Cari :)
As we begin this new podcast season, our deepest hope continues to be, creating space for connection, while experiencing faith and life together. So emotions seemed like a good place to start since emotions are something we all experience throughout our life as human beings. They immediately connect us to our “human sameness” (Henry Nouwen). And they have huge impacts on our choices, relationships, how we are in the world and who we perceive God to be.
In her chapter, entitled, Try Softer with your Emotions, Aundi Kolber helps frame our conversation today, writing, “You are not weak for having feelings. You are not less than because you react to the world around you. Your grief, joy, anger, disgust or fear does not define you, but it is a clue to what’s going on inside you - and this is where the beauty happens. As we honour our experiences, we gain more freedom to move through our emotions rather than become stuck in them.”
Through our conversation we hope to invite a relationship with our emotions. Even the hard ones. A relationship that promotes flourishing, maybe even healing. Not only for ourselves but for each other and the world we live in. Many Blessings.
