Emotions as Waves

Emotions flow like waves—they arise, peak, and eventually subside if allowed to move freely. Each emotion, whether joy, sadness, anger, fear, or pleasure, is connected to our flow of aliveness and contributes to the natural ebb and flow of our inner experience. Our life force and sense of aliveness is like the ocean, and each emotion is a wave that comes and goes. However, when we block one emotion—by suppressing sadness or avoiding anger, for instance—we disrupt the entire emotional system and therefore, shut down life force aliveness. This blocking can create stagnation, where unresolved feelings linger beneath the surface, affecting our well-being. Allowing the full wave of emotion to move through us creates balance and helps us access the depth and richness of our emotional lives. By embracing all emotions, we support a healthier, more integrated way of being 

For instance, imagine feeling deep sadness after a loss but suppressing it because it feels too overwhelming or inconvenient. Over time, this unprocessed sadness might manifest as irritability, numbness, or even physical tension. By allowing yourself to fully experience the sadness—perhaps through tears, shifting your posture, or feeling and releasing built up body tension related to the sadness—you allow the wave of emotion to move through you. This process not only helps release the sadness but also makes room for other emotions, like gratitude or peace, to arise naturally. Blocking one wave, however, can create a bottleneck that prevents the flow of all emotions, including joy and aliveness, leaving you disconnected from your emotional vitality.

So, with this work I offer to you a skillset for a new way of being - aliveness is on the other side of letting go.
