Wholeness

There are a lot of things that are being said about choosing our emotions. Word has it that we can always choose what to feel. This is where our will over our feelings come in. We can always choose to look at the bright side of life. It is also said that our emotions are signs of how we vibrate. The more positive we feel, the higher the level of our vibrations go.

According to many spiritual teachers, high emotions are fertile grounds for manifesting the things that we truly desire. This process can also be aided through happy music that can assist manifestations. So this is the reason why we are supposed to choose joy every time.

This day, however, I have some personal things that make me feel not so good. Expectations that are unmet, broken agreements with my loved ones, challenging situations that pop out of nowhere. Even when I try so hard to raise the level of my emotions, I could not help but feel those negative feelings and entertain those thoughts. Because there is nothing left to do, I surrendered by inhaling through my nose and exhaling through my mouth with a soft 'haaa'. And just that, almost instantaneously, I noticed my thought process. I observed how harsh my self-talk was. I had been threatening myself to find happy thoughts or else I might have problems with manifestations.

For the first time of the day, I was able to look up to the sky and I felt a surge of relief. I continued taking deep breaths, and in a few minutes I felt better. As I was walking toward my house, it dawned to me that it is ok to feel those sad feelings. Human as we are, we have to acknowledge that we feel those pains to feel alive as well. This is what it means to be whole. We feel the pain but in a while we learn to shift and feel better.

As I got closer to my place, I found myself singing a happy song. I may not feel good immediately after the things I went through the day, but I am getting there sooner than I can imagine. <3 How about you? I'd love to read about your thoughts.
