Understanding Emotions Will Help You To Avoid Illness And Chronic Pain

There is much to be said about understanding emotions

Usually our painful and traumatic emotions are not in our consciousness, but are in our cellular memory causing blockages in our bodies which may result in chronic pain. These blocked emotions and memories can also cause a person to shut down.

I see this often in clients and understand how and why it happens. I experienced the same thing as a child when I suffered tremendous loss. It was too painful so I closed my heart in order not to feel anything.

You can find out more information here concerning cellular memory.

In understanding emotions, I help my clients by constantly putting them in touch with their feelings even when they they do not know what they are. They have lost touch with their emotions and what their bodies are feeling because of painful experiences.

As a result, they are only functioning from the neck up. I help them to remember the blocked and painful emotions from their past or a past life and then to release them.

If you find that you are not understanding emotions, you are not allowing yourself to experience your emotions, it is necessary to consider counseling in order to learn why you have shut down, and how you can allow yourself to feel and to express what is going on in your life. To understand a form of healing that I use, go to alternative energy healing, or you can try one of the methods that I use for releasing negative emotions. Read letting go of anger.

In understanding emotions, you need to realize if you are shut down. If that is the case, you will not feel anything that is registering in your body such as weakness, feeling tired, or even hunger. At this point, you can get very sick because you are not aware of what your body is telling you.

It is important to listen to your body and to allow your feelings to come to your awareness, and in this way you can prevent illness. If you would like to read how blocked emotions can cause illness, read how anger affects your health in anger and health.

Symptoms of illness do not happen over night, they occur over a long period of time until they become so strong, you will suddenly feel very ill and will not be able to function.

In my opinion, this feeling of being shut down has happened to many people - the inability to feel what the body needs, hence the reason for so much sickness and disease everywhere. We are pushing ourselves beyond the limit of what our bodies can take.

Understanding emotions is a necessary part of being human, this is why we have feelings and emotions in order to function as human beings. If you shut down your emotions, you are eliminating a very essential part of being human.

Even animals feel and show emotions.

On the other hand, if a positive emotion such as love or happiness is felt which is a higher vibration the body feels good. It is important to feel both in order to know the difference. If you are interested, go here to read types of emotions

Now as the earth is shifting and Mother Earth is cleansing from millenniums of abuse, everyone is experiencing a dizzying array of all sorts of emotions from crying and sadness to uncontrolled anger.

This is an excerpt of a message channelled from Mary and Arch Angel Michael through Norma Gentile explaining what is going on around you and will help you in understanding emotions.

(By Norma Gentile with a little help from Mary and Archangel Michael)

As I sat to write, I invited Mary into my awareness. She suggests starting with an overview:

Gaia, the soul whose body is our Earth, stepped up again into a new level of consciousness. She has settled into a higher level of vibration which is much closer to Unity Consciousness. This also means that she has moved closer to the enormous pools of unconscious shared human emotions, which have been created from millennia of our shared experiences as humans.

Each time Gaia shifts, her body the Earth shifts as well. With each shift it takes awhile for our own bodies to adjust to the Earth's new vibration. Many people experience weeks or months of not feeling grounded or centered or sure of themselves because their navel chakra has not re-established their body's natural connection to the Earth. As the soul Gaia is moving into her own ascension process, the Earth is moving into becoming pure emotional energy. (This is the closest term I can come up with to describe what Gaia has shown me as her experience of this upward dimensional shift). Our souls are also in ascension with Gaia, and so our physical bodies are coming along on the ride with the Earth.

This last shift brought humanity tangibly within telepathic range of vast pools of unconscious emotions. These emotions are the very ones that we can use to slingshot us forward in our journey of self-awareness, or we can drown in them if we forget that we create the emotions, they do not create us.

(This next section will really help you in understanding emotions.)

Many people are unknowingly connecting into these vast pools, especially since Gaia's shift this past winter. Chances are good that if you are reading this you have the sensitivity to have noticed that a vast pool of uncomfortable emotions have suddenly seemed to engulf many people in the world. This sensation of being deeply overwhelmed is a result of one's psychic antenna being tuned into one of these pools of emotions.

Our psychic antennas pick up whatever our emotions are already tuning into. Our soul tends to help us find those issues that we need to resolve. So each person's psychic antenna tends to help draw them to situations where the personality will learn a lesson. This is a lesson that helps the soul continue on its journey. In this time, with the pools of unconscious emotions within range of our psychic antenna, it is easy to feel the entire pool of anger, frustration, rage, sorrow or despair as your own emotion, rather than simply feel your own single drop of anger, sorrow or despair.

And, no one person among us can heal or fix or drain these vast unconscious pools of emotions. Our process is to learn how much of any emotion we are feeling is truly ours, and use that drop of emotion as a guide to knowing how close to the path of our soul's journey we are walking.

Moving closer to the vast pools of emotional energies created over so many thousands of years by humanity also means we are closer to Unity Consciousness. We are closer to knowing the sensation, felt within a quiet heart, of the vibration of Love which moves through all of Creation. As we learn to allow the pools of emotion to exist, but not to swim within them, we learn to tune our antenna to this vibration of Love. For we are also closer to this vast pool as well.

From Mary:

Love towards one's own community, family, or neighborhood is natural. When you express this love as like, as warmth for each other, and in good deeds of supportive behavior, we here in the realms of Spirit feel your emotion. Gratitude passes both up into Spirit from your plane of existence, as well as down from us into your world.

When there is confusion in your world, we feel that also. Terror and rage are side effects of the human personality knowing that what the eyes are seeing is not real. The layer of reality that you see, feel and touch each day is becoming thinner and thinner, more transparent, and what lies beneath is nearly visible to you. This next plane of existence, the next spiritual plane or aspect of the dimension you inhabit while in physical form will very soon be visible. Much like paint wears off of a dearly loved toy revealing the metal beneath, the illusionary coverings of your world are being worn away.

Some of you already perceive what lies beneath. Some perceive, but have no one and nothing in their lives to validate to them that indeed, the paint is merely a surface paint, and the metal beneath creates and maintains the true form. For these souls there is much confusion, anger and ultimately an inner sense of betrayal.

The changes that have occurred in your world since 1972 and the subsequent Harmonic Convergence have setup a chain of events that many incarnate souls did not anticipate. These souls, while in form, have been presented with the option of stepping into the new paradigm being created, or remaining within the old paradigm. Remaining within the old is becoming more and more difficult. Being blind to the sun when you are not actually blind is very difficult. So too is staying asleep as the rock concert plays all around you!

From Norma and Michael:

These souls are at a crossroads that they did not ask to come to in this lifetime. Their collective discomfort and disharmony is not of their own doing. For this reason we humans are all feeling a bit of their quandary; how to balance between those people whose souls are not wanting to make the journey that lies before Gaia now, and the large majority of souls populating this planet who are at the gates, in fact nearly rushing the gates to stride into the newly formed unknown reality that is being exposed.

Patience has always been one of my tasks to learn. As an adult I would like to think I am getting better at simply sitting with an emotion, a sensation, or a piece of knowledge. In this sitting, I allow what I am perceiving to be imbued with the wisdom of my Angels and guides. Their wisdom sometimes includes action, other times includes more sitting, more patience, and more allowing the cycles of creation to unfold themselves. Most times I find that my very attention to whatever I am sitting with nudges the people or situation involved in some small way. And of course I also find my opinion or attitude shifting as well.

With great love and compassion for all, we bid you a good night, and great blessings.

Norma, Mary and Michael
