Feeling our feelings is basically the last thing we want to do, but in so many ways, it is the linchpin to everything you seek.

Podcast #234: Why Feeling Your Feelings is Key to Changing Your Thinking
Heartfelt thanks, Kelli!
I loved this podcast and will listen to this again tomorrow. I, like many others tend to push away my uncomfortable feelings and intellectualize the issue. A band-aid at best only to be ripped off. I forget that I am a Spirit-Being. I am willing to feel my feelings. Ill just have to remind myself. And hang with the ones who support me in that direction. Love your generosity of spirit.
And I appreciate your contribution both personally and to the greater good.
Hi Susan
Thanks so much for your comment and I am so glad you enjoyed it. We are so used to doing everything with the mind, we can’t help but bring that tendency to ‘inner work’ or whatever people refer to that ‘process’ as. It’s tempting for sure to try and stick with it since it would allow us to avoid dealing with that messy business of our feelings. We have been living from a thought system that builds everything we do around avoiding pain for a very long time so it’s not something most are comfortable just diving right into. But as time goes on, we get more comfortable with the feelings. When we see they are coming from what is within our own mind and we have the power to change them, we become less afraid of exploring them. If we think the problem is external and we may never be able to change our circumstances in ways that would make them go away, we would be very reluctant to open those floodgates. Thanks again for such kind words!
