“Emotion is just energy in motion.” – Lauren Chelec Cafritz
Emotion is a sensation. The words that we ascribe to them make it ‘good’ or ‘bad’ based on what society deems true. For example, society says we should feel ‘happy’ and that’s good. But what is the sensation that you notice when you feel ‘happy’? Do the corners of your mouth turn up? Is it bubbly? Do you notice lightness?
What about “angry’, a ‘bad’ emotion according to our societal normal? Do you see red? Feel fire in your belly?
Each emotion brings sensation to the body. It’s energy. It needs to move through you so that you can hear, see, and feel the wisdom that resides below.
Let it move.
Love,
Jess
These Soulful Sunday blogs go out weekly on Sundays to be used as a place to step back from the hustle and bustle and explore what your soul might be saying to you.
