What to do when the old, pent up energy releases and pushes its way out:
NOTICE, ALLOW EMBRACE, AND RELEASE THE ENERGETIC RESIDUE
Emotion is neither positive nor negative…it just is…an experience in fully participating in the unique flow of the now moment. It is the juice of this dimensional dance. Feeling is about feeling. That is what most of have to relearn. Feeling is not a foreign substance. It is the life force cocktail that blends with the chi to give us the full monty experience while in body and on earth. It is highly unadvisable to run away from the reality of its presence.
Culturally, and because of the Law of Polarity and the dimensional nature of duality, we have been taught to compartmentalize and say that some feelings are good and some are bad. Those are labels misplaced and misused. Feeling all feelings fully is the real pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Emotions are that beautiful energy in motion. Each one is an adventurous journey and it is that journey that moves one to the threshold and then into the arms of happiness or its many permutations: joy, exhilaration, contentment, bliss, peacefulness, ecstasy, exuberance, joie de vivre, exultation , and delight. Following each motion to its end will lead us to the place of contentment and peaceful resolution, as if it is a reward in itself…well….it is!
The natural state of the child is joy. Until further notice the blending of imagination and wonder and the purring design that responds in love to the moment’s calling is our birthright. Yet, we all know that up until now it has been anything but that for very long. Our personal journeys have led us down many side paths with interrupted flows and blocked energy and unexpressed/unprocessed woundings galore. Happiness turned into, in many cases, a distant memory or at best, an exercise in what if or wishin’ and hopin’.
So, here we are, replete with a host of woundings of various intensities and scarring, chock full of words unsaid, owies yearning to be released, inner bumps and bruises festering, blocks and barriers to our own gentle flow holding back the Light, hosting a plethora of potential time bomb diseases incubating for that perfect time to shout, “wake up!”.
Happiness has become a destination, occasional rest stops along that life highway from here to there, now to then, no to yes. We keep thinking that it would be just the best if we were always happy. But, would it? There is something wonderful and unexpected about the journey and all of the glorious challenges that befall in such juicy unexpected ways. Facing them head on and immersing all of your energy into moving with them to burst out in a wave of success is really something. It is the flavor burst in the candy, the chocolate center in the tootsie roll pop, the pony in the pile of horse shit…happiness drops in like a foot massage from your mate, like someone you love sneaking up behind you to hug you without hesitation, like the UPS truck arriving at the end of the day on Friday…it happens. Yes, it is the work and the effort put forth, feeling all of the stuff unlike it, stumbling and getting up and realizing you can do it, pulling forth some deep inner part of you just in time to bring completion of resolution and success.
Could you stand it if it was a continuous barrel of monkeys, an endless laughing yoga session, orgasms galore with no time in between, episode after episode of I Love Lucy, money showing up at your doorstep every fifteen minutes, an endless line of suitors yearning to be in your presence, perfect sunsets for perpetuity…probably not. So let us pause and celebrate the journey. Upon further reflection it does really come down to personal choice. Each can respond to the form of the moment however they choose. How is it that one p[person laughs and another cries at the same thing. There is a bigger picture always accompanying the moment. If you were open enough and clear enough then you might always go for that expansive overview to seed you with response options. Actually, you can do that even if you are not open and clear enough…it’s called just do it…without hesitation.
Life is filled with joy. Our senses receive it. The challenge is that our filters interpret it and determine the emotion that is “appropriate”. We can find find beauty in everything. Our design points us towards the Divine in all, no matter the form. How closely do you live in this frequency? Or are you too busy clinging to the past eddies that were so temporarily fulfilling? Some like to suffer. It justifies their beliefs, perceptions, and actions. And we know already that the comfort zone is a toss up.
