A Slow, Loving, Chat About Feeling

We lower our functional intelligence if we repress too much of our perceptions, intuitions, and subtle feelings. When we embrace our emotional material with patience and self-compassion, we become richer in capacities and sense of meaning. It is like all the lost cards returning to the card deck so we can use it. When lost parts of ourselves return, we become more peaceful, happier and more capable. We become a full deck without any lost cards.

This is all about giving space to feel. I'm hoping that. . . Kiss me. Accompanying you in your presence. Whether watching the video or hearing it. That you can receive some permission. To just feel what you're feeling right now. You might not even know. Often I will say to a client, How are you feeling? And they'll say, I don't know. Because you see in the West, We're so sort of based. Lopsided towards the intellect away from the heart. Many of us are just really quite dumb. Even women are quite dumb. Yeah, And the thing about this numbness is it makes us. . . Sort of stupid. I hate to say it, But it is. Emotions and feelings and intuitions give us a lot of information that makes us smarter and well-equipped for this world. And gesturient legs. It's like often our feelings and emotions and intuitions will give us things that are sort of underneath the radar. That they're not showing up on the screen. But through there. And if we're in touch with our emotions and feelings. It can help us be more equipped to live in this world. It's just like, You know, We all get senses about people when we meet them. Or a sense of you know, Which party to go to or which group to hang out with. There are a lot of. A lot of things that when we are open to our feelings and emotions and intuitions, They They give us data. Yeah. This video is a little rambling but I'm partly part of the purpose to give you more permission to just feel. So you've become smarter. This is true. So that's why I'm sort of. . . Pausing a lot. Because sometimes emotions are. To get pushed down. It's sort of like sometimes parts of ourselves are. And pushed down to sort of like the bottom of the ocean. We need to just be a little still. Give a little space. For these. Emotions and feelings to rise up. From our jobs. So we can heal them. And have our intelligence be enhanced and have our. Personal power being. Ads because these emotions that we've repressed are. They're like split off parts. It's sort of like a pie, If you think of a pie with pieces cut out of it. It's not much of a pie left. You know, Sometimes we're pressing so much, We've got like one piece of the pie left, And we're pressing 90%. Yeah but you want your all the pieces of the pie you want your full deck. So really, The way to do it is to just give yourself space to feel. I mean, You could sit every day for 20 minutes. Just to be open to feel. And you might find. . . Good. Tears come up, Sorrow comes up, Or maybe waves of anger. Or you may have to wait a bit. Maybe it will seem that nothing's happening. But it's sort of like our emotions we've pushed down, The parts of ourselves we've pushed down, They're a bit like a scared child. You know, So you have to be patient with scared children. We made them unwelcome, Basically. His feelings and. . . Emotions and the awareness that was inside them. We made them unwelcome and pushed them away. So they're not sure that it's really okay that they can come back. So you might have to sit, You know, For a while. Every day. 20 minutes or so, Just sit, Not doing anything, Just sitting. Being present with yourself, Noticing what's going on with you, And just see what happens. See if anything changes. Rises up. You might learn quite a lot about yourself. Yeah, I mean, If your will is really set that way, If you're really interested. In recovering lost aspects of yourself? You will start to feel more. You won't be surprised. And have patience because when this material comes up after it's been repressed for a long time, Sometimes it's not very pretty. I think we might. You know, It might be uncomfortable feelings, But if you just are with them. You know, Maybe write them out. Don't act out on them. Just. . . Be with them. They'll integrate in and you'll become wiser, More powerful. Just enhance. I've done this a lot. Okay, Bless your heart.
