Owning your emotions requires one important skill. One of the things you need to get good at, which is something I’ve been a student of my whole life and explored, is holding in sensation. I've explored this in different modalities with spiritual teachers and my own practice.
Emotions, at their core, are neither good nor bad. Rather, emotions are tools that we use to shape our experiences and our interactions. Emotions are the tools for your transformation and growth.
I’m rather well-known for saying that if there is a God that I worship, it’s the God of range.
What I mean when I say that is I happen to believe that our purpose, the one that we all share in this human experience and in this reality itself, is we are living out the universe’s purpose to know itself.
