07 Aug What is Your Range of Emotional Creativity?
If we can suspend our judgements and belief systems for a moment, and participate in an exercise of thinking: we created the life we are currently living based on all the multiple choices we have made in our lifetime. Everything we have done has been a co-creation with those involved for a reason. Is it to experience specific emotions and learn to master the lessons that are there to be learned from them? I do believe this happens to us, but instead of experiencing the emotion and learning from it, we become the emotion and can get lost in it. How many different ways do you think you have created your own emotional challenges to experience the depth and breadth of your own feelings? Are you pleased with the result?
When I listen to clients complain about how awful life can be and how difficult their particular part of it is, I congratulate them on being so capable; being able to handle such challenges and still keep going. It’s something that many people do not recognize in their own lives. Getting clients to see how they are complicit in the co-creation of their situation is often the most difficult part of healing any problem. It’s learning that every decision we have ever made in life has brought us to where we are in life. If we had made a different decision at any point, then our emotional experience would have been different. Would it still have given us the opportunity to fully experience a particular emotion, learn how to transmute it and then let it go? That is the question you have to ask yourself.
You can be as creative as you want in developing your range of emotional competency. The greater the range in which you can create comfort, the more control you have over your own spiritual growth.
