Deep dives

Feeling is the healing

The podcast emphasizes the importance of allowing oneself to feel emotions, rather than suppressing them. It challenges the notion that feeling negative emotions will attract negative experiences. The example of ducks shaking off their fights and animals shaking off trauma is used to illustrate the natural process of releasing emotions. The podcast highlights that suppressing emotions only perpetuates patterns and triggers in our lives. Instead, it encourages embracing vulnerability and using self-inquiry to identify and understand our triggers. By shining the light of awareness on our emotions, we can integrate past emotions and have breakthroughs in our lives.
