Feeling the same emotions once and again?
Imagine yourself walking on a life time path. There are tall and green trees on the sides, some freshness in the weather, the sound of a river, and a sense of joy and aliveness within you.
Suddenly there is something far ahead. Your mind start to wonder, your joyfulness dropped and you start to experience some contraction on your body. There is something wrong, and not new on this, a kind of emotion which you have already felt before. Damn it; the closer you go to this place, the stronger you feel the emotion. You totally dislike this; it´s becoming more and more uncomfortable and overwhelming. So you decide that you need a strategy to avoid getting closer to it. Finally, you come out with an excellent alternative that will let you keep walking on your life without facing this emotion anymore. Still there is a sense of contraction, stress and incompleteness from what you have seen that will stay with you for a while.
You keep walking on this “new” alternative way, but after some time the same start to happen. You see it, avoid it and find a new alternative. This again and again, till the moment when you realize you are living on a loop of emotions. Each one of your emotions keeps coming back, bringing a sensation of heaviness, stress, anxiety, meaninglessness, anguish and so on.
It seems like you are trapped and don´t know how to change it. You try new things, new alternatives. You read books, have some fun, alcohol, get on a different diet, travel, and promise to yourself that it will change… and so on. But after a while, you see yourself back to the same point, the same emotion, the same stress and contraction in your body. You can take some detours to the same point, it can take longer or shorter to be back, but here it is again and again. And every time you are in this place the choice is avoid it… What if… instead of seeing it as an unwanted emotion, we see it as something that comes back because it NEEDS to be SEEN and TAKEN CARE.
Would you like me to walk next to you here? As many of us, you might feel more comfortable and safe when you go to this place with someone. Once we see that we are getting closer to this emotion, we will choose a different approach. We´ll be awake to the reality of this, and find an option in the same moment when you used to take a way to escape from it.
This option will be saying yes to the moment, feeling the emotion and welcoming what is here and now. We don´t need to go through that place today, but every step closer, every centimetre heals and bring space to live a happier life. We´ll be open to keep walking closer and closer. Until the day we get to the place and we are the love and compassion that the emotion/memory needed to be release, free. This place within you would be transform, what will make you feel like at home, light, peace, harmony and much more.
