Dark Jewels: Mining The Gifts Of 8 Difficult Emotions

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It is a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity. — Pema Chodron

fearJack Adam Weber –  Unless we look into and skillfully navigate our dark sides, we can’t become our fullest selves. Consequently, we can’t truly love ourselves and the world as much as we are capable. Following Pema Chodron’s reasoning: if we cannot bear our own pain, how can we bear the pain of others? If we are afraid of our own suffering, how can we genuinely stand with another in theirs and thereby be the friend possible?

Below I list eight natural, universal emotions that at first blush we might feel like avoiding. This list is a kind of treasure hunt, revealing what we get to discover when we welcome and allow these at first uncomfortable feelings to be, and eventually change us from our depths on up through our heart and mind. For this growth to happen, we first have to be honest with ourselves—to be aware of what we are feeling and able to name it. Then we can embrace the feelings and go from there. Continue reading →

Today the energetics settle down a bit.  In turn, I will forego lengthy explanation.  The over-arching theme for today is taking time for self-care and care for loved ones.  It is a day to get back to basics, re-aligning ourselves with what is most precious about life.  This is important to do before the onset of the Full Moon phase.

Ann Albers ~ Messages From The Angels

godThe deeper you surrender in faith and trust to God’s grace, the more magical your lives will become. You do not have to solve a single challenge on your own or figure out how to make a single dream come true without assistance. We, your angels are here for you as emissaries of God’s love and the Divine itself lives and breathes within you, always guiding you through the whispers in your heart.

Yet human beings have a tendency not to trust God because subtly you may still believe that “God” or the “Divine” is a person outside of yourselves. People have disappointed you and so you fear the Divine may disappoint you. It is all too human to try to remain in control of how life must look. It is such sweet surrender to listen to your heart’s guidance in the moment and enjoy your lives, while at the same time being gently carried forward. Dear ones, God cares about you. Divine love lives within you. There is no separation. You are part of something so much greater than your individual personalities. You are part of One, infinite, unending, constant Love.
