This week I received an email that discussed the depleting effects of the emotions of anger, rage, jealousy and envy. It talked about our need to rid of ourselves of this energy if we are to find inner peace and vitality. This is so far from the experiences I have had in the last number of years.

What was depleting for me was when I denied and could not give voice to my anger, rage, jealousy, envy and I would say hate. I found holding all these inside me added to my constriction, tightness and my stress response. I found a freedom and peace once I stopped fearing the power of the energy of these emotions and stopped judging them to be good or bad.

Today, I see all of my emotions as a gift and a way of finding inner peace and vitality. Embracing, experiencing, and giving voice to them enhances my life and gives me a sense of fullness and wholeness.

This is truly my journey and my vision of the human experience – fullness and wholeness in order to be our most authentic self in the world. I have come a long way on this lifetime journey to self- actualization. I know and trust that I am moving in the right direction in this lifetime process.
