Learn Why DIMMING Your EMOTIONS Stops Your GROWTH And SUCCESS..!!

One of the things that often comes up in my coaching sessions is the confusion that arises when the topic of emotions bubbles up.   Unfortunately, we have a near epidemic challenge that needs to be addressed regarding the issue of EMOTIONAL SHAMING!!  It is by far NOT a topic that is foreign to me and my 20 year Journey of self actualization.  And that is a crying shame!!  

When I am asked why we are left alone to our own personal devices to navigate this ILLUSIONARY existence called LIFE, my answer is always the same.  WE ARE NEVER LEFT ALONE!!  Why can I be so confident in this declaration?  The answer, ironically enough resides in our Emotions/Feelings!  They are the guideposts to our SOULS!!  They were inherently placed deep within our intuitive nature that can be accessed as a Super Power whenever we are in a place of confusion, disconnection, or whenever we lose the internal compass of which path in the magical fork in the road would be for our highest good!  

Unfortunately, the collective consciousness on our planet deems any emotions that does resemble Strength, Confidence, and Ultimate Understanding as a state of weakness.  And so way too many of us live in a vibration of Fear, Confusion, and Loneliness.  Too ashamed to admit that they are in a temporary vibration of disconnection just when they they need your Support, Empathy, and Understanding more than ever.  

I want to use today's post to help my fellow New Age Nerds understand that our EMOTIONS are the very connection to SOURCE energy.  The very energy that connects us all.  Just as Yoda told Luke Skywalker on the Degobah system during his training as a JEDI! The true travesty is that we not only Emotionally Shame ourselves, but we do the same thing to our children.  

Susan Davis gave an absolutely Paradigm shifting TedX talk regarding this very topic.  During her illuminary speech she espoused the fact that we shame not only ourselves, but everyone in our lives for having the very emotions that assist us in connecting to the thread that allows each and every one of us in tuning into the  collective consciousness that assists us in Re-membering how our emotions are the very guiding force that allows us to to not get swept up in the ILLUSION of this experience that we are all having in this very moment in time and space!!

The TRUTH is that when we DENY our FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS we are pushing aside the capacity to deal with the world as IT IS!!  NOT AS WE WISH IT WOULD BE!!!  As Susan Davis also expressed in her TEDX speech, "Discomfort is the price of admission to a meaningful life!"

So my wish is that we all support one another when we are dealing with the myriad of both Magical and deeply painful experiences that are part of this thing called LIFE!!  Repressed EMOTIONS are unactualized Spiritual Lessons!!  Please Re-member that our last misstep is our greatest teacher!!  

So Emotional Shaming must become a relic of a common past.  In fact, those precious souls who have the courage to fully express there palette of emotions are the Spiritual Teachers and Visionaries that should be exhaulted for their COURAGE to lead the Daring Dance of expressing the EMOTIONS that connect us all back to the very place that LIFE itself resides throughout the COSMOS!!
