Emotions
Can't live without 'em
Without emotions, we humans are but shells of bodies, unable to translate the stories around us into meaning. Our emotions lead us and guide us.
It is the wisdom of the witness, the observer that, with courage, can allow emotions to be, without judgement or fear.
Further, as emotions meld us and teach us, we learn more about ourselves. We learn that we each have different buttons that get pressed uniquely and especially for us. Yes, just for us.
And, as we witness these magic buttons and give them permission to express themselves to us, we are invited to give ourselves permission to be kind to ourselves and even -maybe love ourselves just a little more.
Our emotions are not to be shamed, neither in ourselves nor in others. Our emotions are natures little helper in guiding the witness or observer to self love. Of course, sometimes another witness or observer, both kindly and benevolent, might be required to show the individual the gift in some of these challenging feelings.
Because, dear ones, all emotions are gifts, whether they feel good or not. And, of course, this is not always obvious.
Simply, please be kind to you.
