FEEL EVERYTHING

"The journey through your feeling is the journey of freedom, of awakening, of hearing the message of your life, realizing the message of your life."

-- Story Waters

Hi Patrice,

I shared last time that Story Waters has opened my eyes to a new relationship with both fear and feelings so I want to offer more of his counsel and my take on it to you.

In his talk, 'Feeling Everything,' Story Waters encourages us to be willing to feel all sensations that arise within us. To do this, I have to be willing to release judgment, because when I judge something as bad or wrong, I immediately want to separate myself from it. I resist it, reject it, bury it and wall it off from my experience.

But if I reframe emotions as energy in motion, as nothing more than sensations...

If I can stop the mental analysis that builds a story around every feeling and makes it so much bigger and more permanent than it really is...

If I can replace a sense of this being bad with it simply being -- this sensation is here now -- then I can allow myself to experience it. As I experience the energy, it moves through and is gone. My life flows.

If we can be this open with our experience, we lose our need to control what happens in our lives. After all, what is control but an effort to protect us from what we judge as bad and keep ourselves in what we judge as good?

Waters says, "What you will always discover with these negative emotions, these judgments, these feelings you resist because society has counselled you against them -- they represent in some way a feeling that is stored within you, your past. If you will allow it, if you will walk through it, you will free yourself from it.

"Excitement and fear are the same energy. Doing what you either fear or what excites you will always lead you to freedom. Just allow the feeling of your life, allow the flow of your life, feel what comes up to be felt."

Sounds simple, doesn't it? Now to actually DO it!

"I release judgment of different feelings. All feelings feel good for when I feel I am alive. They are the feeling of life and when I allow them all as they flow through me, that is when there is balance, harmony, freedom, freedom from control."
