If it were true....you'd feel great!

I had an experience the other day when someone very near & dear to my heart made the comment, "I am not good enough". Sadly far, FAR too many feel & even believe this lie. During a heart-to-heart with her, I made a comment along these lines, "Think about something for a minute....If that statement was true, you would feel completely at peace inside, maybe even joyful! The very fact that you do not & in fact feel pretty crumby, is telling you something."

This experience reminded me of an experience years ago with my own daughter. One day my daughter ran into my room in tears. After holding her for a minute, she was able to tell me that one of of her brothers had made a reactionary comment, "You are a bad girl". Even her telling me this made her tear up all over again. (And me to!)

I held her sweet little face in my hands & first I affirmed that she was absolutely a good girl. I told her in terms a young child would understand, that sometimes people say things they don't mean. Sometimes they don't even realize how they made us feel as they are reacting to things in their own experience. There are lots of reasons someone may say something hurtful. I told her that I did not know why her brothers had said that & it was not okay. I then told her there was one thing that I wanted her to understand here. If it were true, you would feel good right now. I asked her, how she felt (although it was very clear). She teared up again & told me she felt bad. I looked her in her eyes & simply said....."Then what he said is not true."

She looked at me for a moment. Then her whole countenance changed. She wiped her tears & simply said "Okay", giving me one of those make-your-heart-smile grins. I gave her one more hug & she was skipping off to play with her brothers again.

She had clearly not had this understanding of her emotions. How many of us do? But even at her very young age, something clicked within her little being. As she gained a level of understanding about this aspect of her energetic nature, her emotions, she was able to see the reality of a truth & of a lie, & in that, act accordingly. She just innately knew she did not have to hold onto a lie. If it wasn't true, it held no presidence for her.

What about those that have more of a connection to these non-truths that bring so much suffering & struggle to their lives; such as the near & dear I spoke about earlier, clearly connected to the belief "I am not good enough"? How do we become free of this? In exactly the same way.

This is why Energy Therapy, as I practice it, is so beautifully blessing lives. By simply having an accurate understanding of our energetic nature, (this includes the energetic nature of our beliefs & their emotional results) we see our experience for what it is. In doing so, we learn to work or move in harmony with this dynamic aspect of who we are & what we have been given. Resulting in freedom from false beliefs, clearing of limiting patterns & even past trauma. But more, we also learn to how to create more connected & fulfilling relationships, how to have more peace & clarity in our lives & how to live the lives of joy we are so perfectly created to.

So what can we learn here to help us in our current life experiences? This brings to light a very simple, very pure & very innate process we are given to live the gift of our own life, whatever our specific circumstances maybe......

#1- Your emotions & feelings are telling you something. Listen.
#2- These are innate gifts give to know truth for yourself. Acknowledge it.
& #3 - You now have a choice. Choose it.

Your emotions are gifts. As you come to understand this truly beautiful aspect of your energetic nature more fully, you will learn to move in much more harmony with this "music" & have more peace & joy in your life. Its amazing what unfolds as we simply acknowledge the truth of the gifts before us.
