So just think – you had a negative emotion and I would come up and say: ‘I have the way to help you get rid of it.’
Wouldn’t you be happy? And relieved? And ready to get the help I offer?
Today, I am here to warn you to refrain from this danger to your soul. Your essence. Your life force.
Maybe it’s because I have been sensing emotions deeply for all my life, can even feel the slightest tremor, the hint of something, the not-yet-there and the hardly feel-able, but I would never, ever take away your emotions. I am no vampire, and I surely wouldn’t want to suck your energy, however infinitesimal it may seem. How insignificant it may seem. Or how disturbing you deem the emotion.
Because emotions are. They do not question, hinder, or disturb. They simply are. Here to help you, guide you, show you your heart’s path. And that is true for all emotions, even those we consider bad, evil, burdensome.
Today I will give you my top three reasons why I would rather work with my emotions than get rid of them.
No1: Emotions are your soul, your essence
Let’s be clear: an emotion is more than just a nagging feeling. Emotions are messengers, but first and foremost they are part of your soul. Your soul is what makes you human. Your soul is the place where your dreams, your heartfelt desires, your path and purpose reside and where you can build bridges to those who are meant to surround you.
An emotion is what you feel. That’s different from a feeling. A feeling is what you think about your emotions. Sounds confusing? Let me give you an example you already experienced to make this more clear, precise. Happiness is an emotion. Sadness is an emotion. Thinking you are happy because you got a new dress is a feeling. Thinking you are a bad person because you are sad is a feeling.
It’s when we judge rather than evaluate that things get dire, that we are in the world of feelings rather than the magical world of emotions.
And there is a lot of talk out there about how negative emotions weigh you down, disturb your frequency, hinder your success. Remember the movie The Matrix. In the movie, Keanu Reeves is given a choice: the red pill will open his eyes for reality and the uncomfortable truths that come with it, the blue pill will keep him in the illusional bliss.
And it’s the same with our emotions. They simply are. And sometimes they are nothing more but keeping the god thing going. Other times they ask us to swallow the red pill, to open up to the reality of what is. The need for change.
No2: Emotions are energy
We’ve all heard that phrase before – and even if we didn’t, it makes sense. Because we know how anger can turn your face into a purple-red tomato. Or how fear gives you the shivers. Turns you cold.
That’s the result of the energy an emotion carries. But have you ever wondered what that energy actually is? Where it comes from?
This energy is nothing less than your life force. What the Traditional Chinese Medicine calls qi, what we sometimes call charisma or will. This is as real as your toes. How do I know? Have you ever had a flu? And deep in the throws you felt so weak you couldn’t get out of bed? Because your body had to use all the available life force, all the energy to make you healthy again. No resources left for dancing, or getting out of bed.
I don’t know about you, but I do cherish my life force. My energy. And I am convinced I don’t have the luxury to have it drained. Not even the smallest dose. I try to keep it. I need it to sustain myself and the work I do for others.
Can you even give it away? Sure thing. That sometimes happens when you are in a room full of naysayers and pessimists. You feel drained and exhausted.
But would it matter if you gave away a little energy for the sake of not being afraid?
Great questions. And it leads me to my third, and last point.
No 3: The boomerang
A lesson not learned is a lesson to return. Just like the boomerang – you know them? It’s a stick bent at a certain angle and when you throw it into the air, away from yourself, it will come back to you. It’s the same with emotions that haven’t been properly processed. If they were meant to teach you a lesson, they will come back. And probably come back with a vengeance. More force than before. And you will have to deal with more than you bargained for. And have less energy than before. Because you already gave away some of it. And now it’s even more likely you’ll fall into the trap of believing that only an outsider, an expert, can help you. And then you’re trapped.
And that would be the exact opposite of what we strive for: because now is the era of individual freedom, a freedom of self-empowerment that unites you with your tribe.
So please, don’t judge yourself. Open up to the message, the trial because you are ready. Capable. And prepared. You were born prepared.
I am Verena Radlingmayr, I will never take away your energy, but I will always help you understand the lesson. Untie the chaos. Work with me online or in person.
