EMOTIONS
EMOTIONS are forces of energy invading our lives. It is important to deal with that energy without judgment in order to allow it to transmute/transform us.
Whether we are dealing with grief over the death of a loved one, or sadness because of a loss, or anger, or fear, or depression, or despair ..., those are all emotions we have to transmute.
As Welwood states, whether it is the cosmic dance of Shiva or Vajrayogini, (and I say Lord/Spirit/God, or Francis of A.) we have to learn to dance with impermanence, egolessness and emptiness. (detachment and joy of BEING)
How do we learn that dance and actualize what we believe in?...by applying insights from psychology and meditation. ... ( easily said/written but not easily done/practiced) as I have recently found out dealing with my emotional stress related to my latest health challenge. Yet, this process is necessary for liberation, awakening and dancing.
The book TOWARD A PSYCHOLOGY OF AWAKENING by John Welwood, 2000, plus prayer has helped me deal with emotions and also has inspired this post.
(Welwood integrates East and West concepts related to Psychology, Psychotherapy and Spirituality. Unfortunately, this unique therapist died in January, 2019.)
When we no longer fear our emotions, this promotes greater fearlessness toward life as a whole...we let the "lion roar"... The first step in taming the lion of emotions is to feel it and to let it be, without judging it as good or bad.
Transmuting emotions turns the dark, murky world of the confused mind into radiance of clear seeing.
The meditative approach to emotion provides direct access to our raw aliveness... Befriending emotions in that way allows us to discover the larger intelligence contained within them. John Welwood
Unless we transmute (transform) our pain, we will transmit it to others.. Rolheiser
Inner Peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions. Pima Chodron (Buddhist)
Come to Me if you are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Matt 11:28
The Spirit of the Lord God has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted. Is 61:1
There is a deep okayness with all the waves, a peace beyond understanding, which comes from recognizing their basic inseparability from the ocean... Jeff Foster
