There are a lot of you who might be really struggling with feelings at the moment. You could be feeling overwhelmed and not knowing how to handle them. Some emotions like anger, resentment, fear and disappointment. This is a big time to be clearing out what no longer serves us and our emotions are the vehicle to bring that to light.
What we are taught to do usually by our parents when we are younger, is to push down those 'negative' feelings. We were taught that we shouldnt be feeling 'negative things'. Who heard this one, "Dont get angry at your sister, be nice to her." Hang on a second, I was really annoyed when she ripped the head of my barbie. But im feeling angry! Is she telling me I shouldn't feel angry, frustrated and annoyed? WOW! Crap< I mustn't trust what I feel then because my parents know better than me what I should feel.
Im sure you all have memories of this sort of thing. From that point on I started to think I shouldn't have those negative feelings, that I should have more positive ones. Who can agree they did the same thing? They were made feel bad or guilty for what we were feeling?
Here is what I have learnt through my Radical Forgiveness work. Your feelings are your movement towards spiritual growth and expansion. Your emotions are your direct link to help you heal wounds and to bring you energy back into alignment with source energy, which is Love. You need both of these feelings, they are of great importance. They both have purpose for your spiritual growth. So to deny your negative feelings are actually keeping you away from loving feelings.
You might believe to be spiritual person means that feeling 'negative' should not be felt and to be more spiritual you need to be positive. I Disagree. To be in your spiritual experience is to experience all of them. To shift into a loving perspective is your responsibility but you do not deny your feelings in this process. That is why the tools of Radical Forgiveness are so powerful. You can tell the story and feel the feelings rather than doing a bypass and avoiding them, which in turn suppresses them.
Please Do NOT doubt what you are feeling. I really dont like this distinction between negative and positive emotions as all emotions are positive, but you understand why I am using it this way. You are in a moment of expansion when you feel. When something comes up and it feels a little 'negative' or someone makes you feel something they are actually trying to help you heal something. It could be a core belief or a mirror to something you don't like about yourself. Do not suppress it and think what you are feeling is wrong and think you should be feeling something else. To deny yourself the feeling experience, is to deny your reason for being here as a spiritual being in a human body.
