Emotional intelligence (emotional health, and balance) is one of the highest forms of intelligence.
I have personally come to believe it's the highest as our emotions & thoughts direct our lives and connects with our intuition, your inner antenna, and wisdom.
An important part of my work is to help and teach my clients to connect within, become more aware and feel and express their emotions healthily.
= >> If it's hard for you to be aware of your feelings, related thoughts and express and feel your emotions, you are not alone.
We have often been shut off and rejected as a child when we have learned to express negative emotions.
While back no one really knew how and why it was important to teach children to feel and be aware of their feelings.
Emotions were considered as a sign of weakness and over-sensitivity. :(
Suffocating your feelings, suppressing, numbing, avoiding them doesn't make them go away but they pile up internally, and then in the long run all that starts causing physical or mental issues, addictions, explosions...
All kinds of issues affecting your happiness, success, relationships... all that starts from you.
Your relationship with yourself.
So how to keep the balance?
Start turning inwards and identifying your emotions and feelings.
🧠 What are you thinking?
🥰 How are you feeling?
💀 How does it feel in your body?
Sometimes I give a chart of my emotions to my clients as they start practicing this.
Way back I found this kind of chart so helpful. Then it was easier to start feeling the sensations in the body.
Sometimes they are surprised when I say it's okay to have negative thoughts and feelings.
They have learned to cover them up with positive thoughts and a positive mindset but that's not really feeling it.
💡 We all have them and your brain has 6000 thoughts per day so they all cannot be positive.
💡 The range of emotions changes daily and we all feel a variety of basic emotions, also negative, on daily basis.
When you become aware of them and train your mind to feel the emotions and become aware of the thoughts, and where they actually come from, you will tune up with emotions that have a higher frequency, then your thoughts and energy shift too.
This is emotional healing and a way to keep yourself "clean" happy and well.
You feel a lot happier, upbeat and lighter, loving, confident, your Self, worthy, present... I could go on this list on and on…
Here's also the chart of emotional energy centers and where the emotions live in the body.
It's brilliant.
What kind of feelings you have felt today?
I help people transform and heal repeating patterns and blocks that are holding them back from receiving what they want and fulfill their heart-based passions.
