How to ‘feel’ emotions?
Feeling Emotions means, experiencing the experience of how an emotion feels in our body-mind system…
Unfortunately, we are so used to jump out of the body, stop feeling it and instead think about the emotion itself or the cause of the emotional reaction. And hence that energy is unprocessed and gets lodged in our system, adding to the gun-powder from past.
If only we ‘experience’ the experience of emotions, instead of thinking about them, then in some time, that emotional energy will diffuse, lose it’s intensity.
When emotions appear in your system, it is as if clouds have formed into your inner atmosphere. But if you experience the experience of emotions, those clouds will clear in some time.
And that’s what it really means to ‘feel’ and emotion.
