MIRACLE IN THE MIND
We’ve heard the phrase “the tongue holds the power of life and death.”. We’ve seen that words do in fact, hurt. Learning these things, I took a journey through self discovery to finally free myself from cursed candor. Let me tell you how.
As human beings, mammals, an ever evolving species, we are accustomed to adaptation. In other words, we grow in accordance with our environment. Life on earth comes with altered conditions for all, yet we all grow to be products of where we come from. This shows all through our dimensions of wellness, exuding the customs we have gathered over the span of our lifetime. These customs look different for everyone, as we are all one of one, yet still, we inhabit the same emotional responses. Joy, jitters, calm, or anxious, we all house a plethora of neurological responses society labels as emotions. E-motion, energy in motion… within our mind, body, spirit complex.
Sensory factors affect our energy in motion, yet still, most of us have no idea how to obtain the proper tools to inner-stand and process ourselves. Instead we tend to attach ourselves to these feelings, and consider ourselves them. Saying words like “I am angry. I am sad. I am depressed.”. Well you surely can be claiming these things in your tongue. We must gain the inner-standing that these feelings, this energy in motion, is simply that… energy in motion. If we allow things to be, with no attachment at all, we can see that these energies must pass. Energy in motion, E-motions, like a tidal wave… high and low tides, be mindful of the moon. Know that your emotions are not you, it’s simply your temple having a sensory response to stimuli. We cannot overly attach ourselves to the good feelings, and despise the bad ones… for if we never got to experience pain and discomfort, how could we truly appreciate bliss and pleasure? All moments come and go, there is no stopping time. Allow the energy to stay in motion. Holding onto it gives it permission to make a home out of your temple, which is not its designated residence. All things must go through a cycle. Allow things to come and go as they should.
Trials and tribulations, emotional uproars, the tough times… these are all opportunities for our growth to shine through. Make way for your God complex. If we are made in the image of the creator, and we too are creators, we obtain the free-will to have self control. We house the ability to know we are more than the sum of these earthly parts.
In the famous words of Lauryn Hill, '‘Nothing Even Matters.”.
The miracle is in the mind… the shift in perspective that we are not our emotions, we are simply experiencing them. Learning what makes us feel helps show us about ourselves and our character. What triggers you requires deeper healing. What moves you exposes your passions. Allow yourself to feel. That’s what creation is about. Feeling into your existence, and shaping it to your highest good. What does not feel like love, is simply a call for it. Allow the energy to remain in motion, while you remain rooted in love.
I AFFIRM:
I am not my emotions.
I am able to get through tough times gracefully.
I allow feelings to come and go with ease.
I am a vessel of light, and I come from the limbs of The Most High.
