Feelings are what connect us here in this life. Without feelings life would be flat. When looking at a flower or graceful tree, deep feelings of appreciation and joy can arise. To be able to feel is one of our greatest gifts.

The trick is to not get caught up in our feelings, but to understand them and allow them to flow like water, uninterrupted, always changing, lifting to heights, dropping to depths……..moving……change.

This last Full Moon in Aries while Venus is in Libra turned out to be a very emotional one for me, some of my friends, family and clients.

Emotions were running high in a schizophrenic kind of way. Turning people inside out with female/male issues.

Now that we are almost out of range from that October 7th Full Moon (5 days before and 5 days after), hindsight begins to surface and to clarify some of these feelings.

When we have old feelings that have not been dealt with they will surface during these powerful times. Once again they beg to be healed, not to be buried alive until the next opportunity arises.

When we can be present with our own feelings and not continue to blame others, the healing begins. We stubbornly cling because we fear that once we undertake the healing of emotions the deeper work of healing our ancient pain and sense of isolation begins.

Jack Kornfield states this so eloquently, “We fear the destructive power of our emotions when we haven’t seen them for what they really are……..we need to see the “body of fear”, to see how the hurt and frustration of childhood, the forces of anger, greed, pride, sexual longing, and need have been conditioned in us. Experiencing the full range of these feelings as they come and go in our consciousness, we can begin to ask of each the question “Is this who I am?” If we can hold our feelings in a spacious and fearless heart, the lonely, broken, spiteful, confused feelings arise in a new way, transformed by our acceptance.”
