Why You Have to Take the Emotional Journey

Podcast Host Christopher Miller got out of the "wrong side of the bed" this morning and feels anxious. In the episode, he shares the importance of accepting your emotions and letting them take you on a journey.  

How do you process negative emotions? By accepting and feeling them completely. Emotions are what make us humans and connect us to others. Let your feelings take you to that next creative place.  Ram Dass states, "As long as you have certain desires about how it ought to be, you can't see how it is." 

Part of being a Spiritual Artist is surrendering to what is. You can't resist your emotions, whether it's what you're experiencing in the art studio or in your life. Chris explains what he means by saying, "Be still. Listen. And know that you are a Spiritual Artist." 

He reminds listeners of the importance of having a spiritual practice and reading something inspiring first thing in the morning. He references the Guide for Spiritual Living magazine published by the Centers for Spiritual Living. 

Ask yourself, "How do I feel right now?" Whatever the answer, accept what it is.
