The balance by Tina Slim (snow like ashes TXT) 📕

Feelings are real but they are not necessarily fact. What we feel is our emotional truth and it does not necessarily have anything to do with either facts or the emotional energy that is Truth especially when we our reacting out of an age of our inner child. If we are reacting out of what our emotional truth was when we were five or
nine or fourteen, then we are not capable of responding appropriately to what is happening in the moment. We are not being in the now. We can intellectually throw out false beliefs. We can intellectually remember and embrace the Truth of oneness and Light and Love. But we cannot integrate
Spiritual Truths into our human existence, in a way which allows us to substantially change the dysfunctional behavior patterns that we had to adop to survive, until we deal with our emotional wounds. Until we deal with the subconscious emotional programming from our childhoods. We cannot reconnect clearly with the Light unless we are willing to own and honor our experience of the Darkness. We cannot fully feel the Joy unless we are willing to feel the Sadness.It is necessary to own and honor the child who we were in order to Love the person we are. And the only way to do that is to own that child's experiences,honor that child's feelings, and release the emotional grief energy that we are still carrying around.We were trained to be emotionally dishonest and to give power to, to buy into, the reversed attitudes .To find balance within we have to change our relationship with our inner process. Feeling and releasing the emotional energy without giving power to the false beliefs is a vital component of achieving balance between the emotional and the mental. Feelings are real but they are not necessarily fact or Truth. We can feel like a victim and still know that the fact is we set ourselves up.
We can feel like we made a mistake and still know that every mistake is an opportunity for growth, a perfect part of the learning process. We can feel
betrayed or abandoned or shamed, and still know that we have just been given an opportunity to become aware of an area that needs some light shined on it,
an issue that needs some healing. Life is punishing us . We will be able to look back and see that what we
perceived in the moment to be tragedy and injustice is really just another opportunity for growth, another gift of fertilizer to help us grow. I can set a boundary with my emotions by not buying into the illusion that what I am feeling is who I am. I can set a boundary intellectually by telling that part of my mind that is judging and shaming me to shut up, because that is my disease lying to me.I can feel and release the emotional pain energy at the same time I am telling myself the Truth by not buying into the shame and judgment. I can get stuck in a very painful place where I am shaming myself for being me.
In this dynamic I am being the victim of myself and also being my own perpetrator and the next step is to rescue myself by using one of the old tools to go unconscious . I can honor and release the feelings without buying into the false beliefs.The more honest and balanced we become in our emotional process, the clearer we can become in following our own personal Truth.
