When I was in my 20’s I knew that I had strong emotions, was intensely sensitive and reactive at times as well even if it was mostly internal. I considered my emotional life a blessing and a curse. When it’s good it was very very good and when it was bad, it was terrible.

I didn’t feel like I had control of my emotions. There was this life inside me that reacted and seemed at times separate from me. With age and experience and through great teachers such as Louise Hay and Abraham along with others, I’ve learned that I can indeed control my emotions and now I understand why I even have them.

Before I talk about why we have emotions I just want to say how we, as the human species have denigrated our emotions, have looked down on them as weak. And what’s more we have assigned them to women by a male dominated society and made half of our population, the weaker sex because we express our emotions.

There is good news in that as women begin to take their rightful place. Yet women are still “looked down upon” for expressing their emotions in public and god forbid a male politician express his. One male democrat running for President “back in the day” lost his bid in the primary when he shed tears over his wife having been the nasty target of some other politician. And god forbid that women shed tears in the workplace. WHAT WOULD PEOPLE THINK. OMG!!

Now here’s my incredible input if I do say so myself. I didn’t make this up. It comes straight from Abraham. We came to be on this planet having been given emotions as a gift, well sort of, from our Higher Power. Because we were never supposed to go this trip alone. It is just too difficult. So we were given emotions as Guidance and a direct connection with our Higher Selves. We were so meant to be happy here and enjoy our experience. When we are happy we are in sync so to speak with our Higher Power and that is pure positive energy so when we hook up with that energy we are feeling really good.

When we’re not feeling good we become pinched off from our Guidance a sort of stick being put in the spokes of our bicycle because that pure positive energy will never bend to be with our fears, doubts, anger. Guidance is pure positive energy and unconditional love. And so when we are in sync with our Higher Power we are connected to all that is and can “hear” our guidance. We can make the right decisions for ourselves, give love to the people around us, give love to ourselves, know instinctively what to do for ourselves.

To really know how absolutely important emotions are to us, to know that our emotions tell us if we are “on track” with our life’s purpose or not, is mind blowing to me. And also so affirming as a woman with plenty emotion. This is such a huge topic and I could go on and on but not at the moment. I need my morning coffee!
