Hello,
I'm Nathan.
Welcome to Insights Beyond where I give you insightful things to ponder upon throughout your day.
Today we are going to be talking about freeing yourself to the feelings within.
We have so many restrictions and ideals when it comes to the feelings we want to feel and the feelings we want to avoid.
This can put a huge pressure on the mind and it's relationship with the entire system.
However,
Freeing ourselves up to feelings might not be as tricky as it seems.
There's no pathway,
No formula,
It's a simple word known as noticing.
Once again,
It's often the simple concepts that are the most rewarding and transformative.
Just noticing our feelings,
The physicality of them.
Not trying to change them.
Noticing whatever comes up,
The way they move,
The way they change,
The way they flow.
And to not put any ideals on what we would like to feel.
Ideals such as,
I want to feel pleasure right now,
I want to feel joy.
And also at the same time,
Having ideals such as,
I don't want to feel angry,
I don't want to feel sad.
Then your emotions become freed up.
Whatever comes up within your system in this moment,
It's okay.
The simple act of noticing allows you to just be with whatever is there.
Notice the fundamental sensations of the feelings,
The physicality,
To let it flow wherever it needs to go.
There's no restrictions,
Nothing is wrong,
Nothing is right,
You're just noticing.
Nothing can harm you emotionally in that particular moment.
If we can just practice noticing and facing our feelings,
Not facing the stories we tell ourselves about them.
Dropping them stories,
Labels and conclusions at the door before you try this.
Floating to the actual feeling,
That is the actuality here.
The stories are fiction,
It's the mind meddling with the body.
Notice the root,
The sensation of the feeling.
If the mind comes into play,
Not to worry.
Just noticing the mind also,
Noticing whatever comes up.
Try it out for yourself today.
Simply notice your feelings.
You are the most powerful person.
You are the one who instigates change and transformation,
Not anybody else.
Bring the power back to yourself today.
Spend some time noticing,
Even for a minute or two.
You can do this.
Let me leave you with a quote from J.
Krishnamurti.
I've no problem because I don't mind what happens.
Give in and let it be my friend.
Thank you for listening.
