The profound message of your emotions

The profound message of your emotions 

Do you ever feel sad, anxious, stressed, or annoyed? 

When you receive a letter, you open the envelope, read the message, get it, then move on with your life, don't you? 

Feeling anxiety, sadness, stress, annoyance, guilt, anger or any other negative emotion is part of our human experience. What's not necessary, however, is to prolong these emotions over time. 

If you feel a negative emotion and you prolong it (more than a few minutes), it's like rereading a message you've received over and over again. In a way, you're replaying the message, almost in a hypnotic state, without taking it in. You prolong these unpleasant emotions and suffer unnecessarily. 

The good news is that we can avoid unnecessary suffering by deciphering the message. 

The message… It's simpler than you think.

Only, it's like a treasure hidden in the twists and turns of an underground labyrinth.

But I’ll make it easy for you and give you the deeper message hidden behind all our emotions. I said "deep and hidden", so much so that it can be difficult to access by ourselves. 

Why is that? 

Because we remain on the surface of the emotion, in the swell or the storm (depending on your vision of emotion), behind which lie the tranquility of ocean depths or the serenity of an immensely blue sky. 

The message is a message of love and a search for connection, or the expression of the deep desire for a world where we would all be well, feel good, and live in harmony. 

This is the deeper meaning of all emotion. 

Behind your fear of not succeeding, your frustration when someone is late, your anger at an untenable situation, lie the search for love, for connection, and the longing for a harmonious world.

And since you feel unpleasant emotions, it means everything is already there: love, connection, harmony.
