Emotions and feelings must be felt. They cannot be intellectualized or rationalized away. Transforming “negative emotions” into “positive ones” is an exercise in futility only serving to mask…an absolute no-no when it comes to feelings (though that is the historically prescribed norm of the Piscean model learnings). Running away postpones and actually results in storehousing and increasing the potential volatility of the reservoir of the unexpressed. We are born to feel. We incarnate to feel. We came here to feel…need I say it again?
Sadness and grief are a family of frequencies at varying intensities. In the beginning they are centered physically and energetically in the heart, lungs, and chest front and back. The losses of relationship and property contribute to the response of sadness. They are a response, as well, to inner losses of deeper connection to core self. The energy moves inward to reach the core where it activates a deeper awareness that calls for resolution. It forces a timeout and redirects us to tune into the heart for creative resolution to that which faces us. Sadness is a heavier energy that slows us down and initiates deeper breathing and energetic clearing via the wash of tears. Typically there is resolution and the sadness lifts to return to us our own authentic voice.
When we are not witnessed we can become sad. When we are not heard or engaged we can feel sadness. When we are left behind by another we feel sad. Each of these is a direct conduit to the inner connection of self, higher self, and the divine. In this reunion we reopen the awareness that sees us in the dressing of our true design. The energetics of the loss clear and the shining of our true self is revealed, having always been there. From this place we can initiate the critical healing process of self witnessing, self-love, and self valuing. Expanding this core will allow us to eventually be solid and centered enough to stand in the midst of loss and still be vital and present and available in profound and rich ways.
Grief is the recognition of loss, an actual process of the inner evolution of reclaiming autonomy in the midst of an energetic shock or trauma to the systems themselves. When the loss is intense we experience the energetic impact as the fibers of connection are ripped out of our tender vibrational viscera. The flow is disrupted, the union is severed, the link is torn and left leaking, the auric field is left with holes and tears and structural damage. All of these are energetically real to the degree that we require personal time to integrate the immensity of the occurrence. Grief is he name of the pain we feel from this separation. And, again, it demands an inner retreat.
The wisdom of the design brings us home to roost and repair. We cleanse, we clarify, and we rebuild as we remember and reawaken the core essence of our design, Love. The process of reclamation is unique to each being. There is no time table that fits all. All of the emotions are engaged in the remarkable journey of shaking off the energies of much more than just the current loss. Each chakra is involved in the flood of release as the journey moves from one to another. All of the basic emotions are cycled through in stages that wring out the emotional debris of oh so many more unexpressed moments of our life. In some ways we are rebooted with a new operating system. For when we arise like the phoenix from our poignant transformational journey we are, indeed born anew, or, at least can be.
It is the heart chakra that sustains the energy of grief, however. It directs the healing force to restructure the holes in our energy fields and circulates the healing frequencies into the core and the soul. The movement of the energy teaches us to learn to let go, a vital higher frequency tool that is absolutely essential in these times.
Many are interrupted in their journey and fail to reach completion. They become bogged down in one component and recycle it like a leaf in an eddy, ever angry, ever in denial, ever afraid of life, ever sad, or ever acting like nothing ever happened. Truthfully, life will find a way to lift us out and through at some point. It is wise to allow the whole journey, even supporting others as they move on their own. It is a critical pathway that must be taken. Grief is a profound healing gift for our multidimensional selves.
Too often we have not been allowed to feel, so we stumble at allowing the natural progression of the moving emotion. Unexpressed sadness and incomplete grief sequences rise to feed the current moments of either as they follow the boy wisdom to clear in this new way. This can result in a more powerful degree of sadness or grief that can be overwhelming and too much to face. It is important to know that each can be regulated. Consciously using awareness and understanding can be useful in letting out what we can handle. The primary substance for each is crying the tears that have been held. Most of us have much to cry about. During the release we must be gentle and nurturing and allowing. Remember that there is always information that accompanies the movement of the emotion. Often it relates to the issues that led to its being felt originally, yet it can also be higher guidance and insight that teaches you about the nuances of the feeling to prepare you for future experience or work. Spending time getting to know the dimensions of these powerful emotions can have sweeping impact on the forms of the moments to come for you….
