Feelings vs. Thinkings
The true function of feelings is to elicit healing.
They arise within us to inform us. Their sole purpose is to grab our attention so that we can respond with an appropriate healing response.
This typically isn't how we respond to feelings though. We typically respond to feelings—especially “negative” ones—not by feeling them but by thinking about them...
In other words, instead of feeling our feelings and opening to their wisdom, we react to our feelings by thinking about them (resisting), therefore creating thinkings about our feelings... and more feelings about our thinkings.
In this episode, we'll explore why we do do this and what we can do to stop thinking and start feeling our feelings.
