Can You Speak the Language of
Your... Intuitive Heart?
by Hu Dalconzo
The LANGUAGE OF FEELINGS is the language of your intuitive Self!
Your heart feels the intuitive messages that are sent to you by
spirit. Your uncomfortable feelings are messages that you are
out of harmony with your Self. When you resist, repress, or deny
your feelings, you disconnect yourself from your Self. Since the
average emotional age of the adults in the US is only fourteen,
and since most fourteen year olds have not mastered how to communicate
their feelings, most of us have modeled caretakers who never learned
how to maturely communicate how they feel.
The LANGUAGE OF FEELINGS is Yin energy. My experiences have taught
me that the majority of us are disconnected from, and are resistant
to, reconnecting to our Yin or feeling energy. Yin energy is the
nurturing, intuitive, sensitive energy that all humans possess.
In general, our society rewards us for suppressing our feelings.
As a result, we "think" that we have little incentive or motivation
to learn how to feel our feelings. This is no surprise, because
we are taught that feelings have nothing to do with success. In
fact, in some instances our Western society teaches us that feelings
can actually hinder success. The Spiritual Distinction Meditation
is an excellent exercise to help you reawaken your ability to
feel what your intuitive heart is trying to tell you!
Your feelings are messages sent to you by your Self to help you
feel your way through life. As you learn how to interpret the
LANGUAGE OF FEELINGS, you'll begin to feel your healing feelings,
which will help you to row your boat serenely down the stream
of life.
The challenge most people have with processing their feelings
is that they are trying to process them through their "thinking
mind." You can't THINK your FEELINGS. You either feel them
or you repress them with THOUGHTS.
When your Self sends you an intuitive message, such as frustration,
it's trying to communicate to you that something you are doing
(or not doing) is out of harmony with your spiritual purpose for
living (your Dharma). If you try to THINK about what you're FEELING,
you'll simply pull up your history software from your mind. Your
mind is a quagmire of recorded thoughts from your personal history
(See Lesson #6). In an attempt to feel safe, sane, or secure,
your mind will remember similar situations from your past. Therefore,
if your past relationships were filled with heartbreak, then your
mind, in an attempt to keep you from re-experiencing pain, will
create any evidence that your ego needs to believe that your new
relationship will also cause you pain. Your mind will try to tell
you with thoughts of how you "should feel" about your new relationship.
This reminds me of the spiritual joke that asks... "Are you shoulden
on your Self again?"
When I'm afraid to feel my feelings (consciously or unconsciously),
I'm experiencing the F.E.A.R.1 that my emotional denial creates.
My fear surfaces as something other than what it actually is.
Whether it's blame, guilt, or indifference, my fear blocks what
I'm really feeling, and because the real feeling is blocked, my
mind transmutes it into something else. For example, if I'm feeling
angry, but I was conditioned by my caretakers to believe that
I'm not allowed to be angry, then I might transmute anger into
a more acceptable emotion such as blame or sadness. Blocked, transmuted
feelings will never make you feel better because as you learned
in Lesson #2... Nothing changes until it becomes what it is!
On my journey home to my Self, I discovered that I was rarely
upset for the reasons my ego mind thought. My mind was constantly
trying to justify my thoughts in an attempt to make me right!
My mind made people, who used to trigger me emotionally, into
enemies so that my anger was justified and my attacks warranted.
In the past I was a slave to my mind, and therefore I unconsciously
misused my relationships by rationalizing my behaviors to make
myself right and others wrong! As a child, my mind learned these
defensive maneuvers in order to survive. My challenge was that
my old, defensive, child-like thought system was spiritually toxic,
and it was preventing me from creating mature, spiritually-based
relationships. By defending myself, I alienated the people I love
and those who love me. I learned, through failed relationships,
that this behavior of justifying and rationalizing (rational lies)
my actions just didn't serve me well. The LANGUAGE OF FEELINGS
taught me that if I no longer wanted to FEEL emotionally upset,
I would have to find another way of processing my life.
In order to change, I first had to be willing to lower my defenses
and allow my Self to be emotionally vulnerable. By doing meditative
practices, I realized that the walls that I had erected to protect
myself also kept the love and intimacy out. Living a spiritually
awakened life takes a lot of emotional courage because you must
learn to trust your inner Self enough to lower your defenses.
Namaste, my soul friends..... Hu Dalconzo
