On letting go

Have you ever found yourself enraged about something that really was no actual big deal, and that you'd ordinarily not have really reacted to at all, maybe? It's likely you weren't reacting at all, but were leaking emotion that was displaced. Some people believe the reason we get sick is because we hold suppressed emotions in our bodies. Suppression of emotion then, is the antithesis to wellbeing. As I mention in my last post, there's importance in letting because letting go of the past is enabling a future that doesn't repeat past patterns. If you become aware of where you leak emotion, you can find suppressed stuff to cut ties and let go. When you become aware of a feeling, look for where you keep it in your body and become aware. Acknowledge that you have a feeling that's so strong you've held it in your body.

I think we, form being little dots, get taught by adults that we have to behave-be good. We should behave well to be liked and rewarded. We must not scream in public, we have to be nice. and if we refuse, we get punished. So, if I imagine the implications of that sentiment in its energetic essence, it looks like a bit of a worry to me. The inference is that if we dare to feel our feelings and let them show, then we're bad people who nobody will love and deserve punishment. If the law of attraction is part of non-ground-level reality (part of our Matrix), then the belief that we deserve to be punished is a powerful thing that would drive those conditions towards us. It isn't bad to feel negative emotion. It's only bad to act of it. Feel it, get into it, poke about and let it go. Cut the tie and send it away with a blessing.

Notice the imagery of fabric in cutting ties. These things we feel are part of the fabric of our reality. You don't want to weave resentment or disappointment into your future. I trained for a long time in Chinese Medicine. In that philosophy, emotion stuck in the body becomes an ailment that manifests as pain, known as stagnation in the body, unless the channel is kept moving. Nothing should stay where it is for too long. Money, emotions, life. Everything should always flow like the curves in the body. If feelings can't be accessed in everyday life, I think films will evoke them-from my POV, it's a healthy displacement. To feel- to go deeply into it, mindfully acknowledging the feeling, is to let go.
