Secrecy, holding onto the past, old hurts, pain, shame, guilt, fear, all those things we as humans find it convenient to hide away and not deal with in the open is the life topic here. Daily experiences have great wisdom to be gained from each moment. We are so programmed to be strong. We are not to let life get us down or have any effect on our daily living or the way we see things, when in fact, with this very programmed belief, we already have.
Everything in life has a vibration. Our experiences and emotions vibrate at the level of the way we view things. It is our viewpoint that decides how the experience will be processed. The body your soul resides in is your temple, your fortress and it is there to withstand whatever life has to throw at it based on how the personality, the little me, wants to handle each lesson. The body absorbs each wave. We choose to experience, learn from and let go of each wave from day to day just like the tides of the ocean. We can walk along the beach at the end of the day and witness the high tide which limits the area of beach we can travel on. Within each wave that rolls in there is much hidden below the water that we cannot see. There could be perceived good, bad or scary things held within each wave depending on the day.
The ocean is wise though. Nature knows to let go of each day and all it has witnessed to make room for the next day and all that is to come. We walk along the beach in the morning, the tide is low revealing all the remnants of yesterday’s release. The seashells, the vegetation and all the garbage are strewn along the widened pathway and slowly fade into the sand. A new day awaits.
As humans we can also go against nature and hold onto all the emotions that go with the memories. Internally we continue to “live within” that moment in time which stagnates us. The vibration of that memory is absorbed into the body. As we continue to hold on and then add another moment and another moment of emotion it piles up and weighs us down. We experience things and then we judge things. We do not simply accept things for what they are because we have a preconceived idea of what they should be and hold onto these emotions in an odd sense of comfort. It is hard to accept that humans find comfort in pain, but we do. It is familiar, sometimes perceived as a show of strength, and a cross we feel we need to carry to leave our mark in this world. It can trigger us to create something good for the rest of the world to benefit from which is a beautiful gift. Choosing for this creation to be your release of the attachment to the emotion is one pathway. Continuing to hang on to such powerful, debilitating emotions is another pathway. It can be revered as admirable in this world but is very expensive to you. We do it daily without our awareness.
Unprocessed emotions bury away in various parts of the body and eventually cause disease. This dis-ease (disease) can fester and grow into a passing sickness such as a cold, sore throat, body ache or lingering pain. If ignored, it will keep crying to be let out and if still ignored it can turn into a life-threatening disease and eventually death of the body. All dis-ease within the body wants attention. It wants to be heard, understood, learned from and let go. It is that simple. WE make it hard. Yes, we need to take our time and process these emotional vibrations, but it is our job to do that work and not allow them to get comfortable and at home within us.
The natural defensive remark here would be that there is no time limit on anger, grieving or letting go and that is true. One can choose how they spend this lifetime. That is the glory and the burden of free will. You can choose to let go and gain the wisdom from each moment or you can take it to the grave.
