Journal Your Feelings Releasing Suppressed Emotion

On your way to illumination

Self Discovery

It is an important time to clear away any weightiness
what so ever that we retain throughout our emotional history.
Light is luminous illumination is light.
It’s time to lighten up and move further inward.
It’s time to get intimately familiar with the depth of your being
and therefore intimately familiar with all that is.
It’s time to eliminate all traces of whatever may, everything that has,
hindered you by obscuring genuine openness and greater vision.
Let us be sincere about releasing painful attachments and move freely and
powerfully into divine wisdom, your heart.

Your heart is always light and free… this is true and a wonderful discovery. Self-honesty, releases you from the stagnation that holds you in abeyance. Your heart is the ultimate transportation vehicle to unbridled potential, yet…unimagined.

An Overview Journaling your feelings is a great way to clear your entire
living system, emotional, physical, energetic and spiritual. What has to happen to get free of old suppressed feelings?

Just start writing, be honest, scathingly honest. This journal is not for anyone to read, just for you to write clearly and honestly about how you feel. I will repeat the word “honest –honesty –honestly” often through this article. Why? It is because it’s very important. Honesty will be a release valve.

Remember this…
This is not a process of “digging up old stories”.
This is not a process of “working things out”.
This is not a reason for feeling guilty or intensifying dramas.
This is not a process of psychotherapy.
This is not a process of forgiveness.

HONESTLY ACKNOWLEDGE

Understand that…
This is a chance to release emotions that have been suppressed.
This is a way of releasing suppressed emotions that cause disease.
This is an opportunity to be very honest with yourself and about your feelings.

When you stuff your feelings, you deny them. Then you create an undercurrent of pain that remains with you until you admit how you truly feel. This undercurrent of denial creates disease and/or emotional mental, physical and/or spiritual imbalances, can even shorten your life and does definitely narrow the scope of insight.

Emotional denial creates outbursts of constrained anger, over sensitivity to just about everything, dishonesty and projection. Until you are totally honest about your feelings, you will not take responsibility for your responses, blame others for feelings of inadequacy and indulge in revengeful attitudes and in self-pity
and likely become bitter and self-negating.

These habitual characteristics are far more painful than expressing honestly what it is that you actually feel no matter how painful those feeling are. This creates instability and then disease can take over the body, the mind, your emotions and spirit… your life. Remember that disease is also dis-ease,
whatever and however that may take hold.

When we live with suppressed undercurrents of pain (and most people do for lengthy periods in their lives if not for their entire lives), then… every time we meet a situation that resembles our original painful emotions, then distress increases and goes deeper into our system, energetic, physical and emotional; therefore and of course impairing our spiritual openness and understanding.

For example, if you have felt rejected in your life and have not given that pain a place, a space, for release by admission or acknowledgement, then, any situation that resembles not being recognized, will intensify, increase and deepen into the undercurrent of dishonesty that you have (yourself) impacted, into your energetic emotional physical and spiritual bodies… your life.

Another thing is that, we are unable to receive good council in the form
of loving and helpful creative critique. We take offense at everything that’s offered.

So what to do?

Write you feelings down… honestly! Writing in itself is release. Remember we are not digging
up or boring into old stories. We are simply acknowledging how we do feel and how we have felt.
Releasing those feelings and opening that pain to liberate them, not to intensify them.
In other words…your journal is a journal of honest acknowledged feelings to be freed forever.

Admit your feelings honestly and write them down. You need not edit
what you express or apologize. You just write what you feel. That is all.
No guilt, no story, no forgiveness is necessary.  Just write, feel, release. You may cry, you may yell,
you may snap for a moment or a little while, but feel that and free that feeling without building a story around it.
This is very personal writing and is only for you and not for anyone else to read. Protect your private journal.

You need not fix anything, just feel what you feel…in freedom and honesty. If you start to create bigger stories that dramatize your feelings…just stop and release what is being felt in the moment. Just feel, write, acknowledge and release. You may also draw as well as writing. However writing is releasing! So be sure to write. This is your journal, your private feelings. Let them have a space for letting go freely and forever. It’s a lot like taking a refreshing bath after traveling on a dusty road after a long journey.Some people have had great healings, even from cancer, by opening the undercurrent of denial by acknowledging and releasing their feelings.

So start today and write, write, write. This is an important time to clear away the residue of what has passed and…still lingers … because it has been denied. BE HONEST AND RELEASE…RELEASE, RELEASE.

IN THE NEAR FUTURE I am likely to have a few suggestions in the coming weeks for people who write and release. I may do this through private e-mail but might add it to the blog.
Let us see what develops in the journal community.

For those who want to let me know that you are Journaling your feelings and want some direction if you might get a bit stuck along the way. Write to shantimayi@shantimayi.com and in the subject write JOURNALING.

Please do not send long e-mails. Do not detail your life or send
comprehensive stories. Just write a few sentences telling me what you need help
with and I will write as soon as possible. I am traveling, but do want to be available for you.

Anyone who wants to be added to the journal community,
let me know that you are starting a journal. Please feel welcome
to do that by writing to the above e-mail address with the same subject title…
JOURNALING. I may list names or locations or initials (only with your permission of course)
for a kind of journal circle.However your journal is not to be shared… perhaps we can share the results and processes. A journal circle is but a consideration and may not develop at all.
Let us see what happens as the emails come in.

I will address some issues on the blog if it looks as though it would be helpful to people to do so.

GET THAT BLANK BOOK AND START CLEARING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. GOOD WRITING AND RELEASING!

Blessings ShantiMayi
