In this lesson we uncover why so many of us fear our emotions—and how this fear keeps us stuck.

Key learning points:

The fear of feeling can be understood on two levels: our mammalian instincts and our human nature.

• Avoid pain, gain pleasure

• Fear of being overwhelmed

• Fear of losing yourself

  • in madness

  • in aggression

  • in depression

• Fear of hurting others

• Fear of losing control

“We fear that emotions will control us if we don’t control them!”

When we fear something, we fight, flee or freeze. All three speak to anger, power and wil harden and seperate us from the feeling itself.

Excercise 1: Where do you mistake numbing for strength?
Excercise 2: What would happen if you stopped fighting what you feel?

Resistance is not strength—it’s fear in disguise. But why? What is the logic behind this saying?

Key learning points:

When we still give it attention, attention feeds energy. We actually build energy that way.

But also: emotions didn’t appear random. Emotions are messengers. If we don’t listen, they need to shout.

To remain whole… or to heal…our relationship with our feeling needs to change. Our coping with negative emotions need another approach.

Resistance is not evident because the emotion needs to speak out louder for you to listen. Resistence cost tons of energy. But the bad feeling indeed wants disappear.

Excercise: Let it be energy

In this lesson, you’ll discover the language emotions truly speak: the subtle, precise movement of energy.

Key learning points:

Emotions are energy in motion. This means they’re the generators of change. We can use them, or let our energy be spilled.

Emotions are not problems. They are movement, flow, life-force. The more we understand their energetic nature, the less scary they become—and the more we can harness their wisdom.

Energy is logic so emotions must be too. What if you moved along with them? What if they reacted on something inside or outside of you. Emotions don’t do what they do to nag you, there’s a logic behind it.

“Understanding emotions is understanding universal principles.”

Excercise: Don’t ruminate, just feel

In this lesson you’ll get a different angle to view emotions.

Key learning points:

Don’t fight fear with anger when it comes to feeling, those are meant to conquer your outer world. To conquer your inner world, use consciousness.

Real courage isn’t about fearlessness—it’s about presence. Emotional bravery is choosing to feel even when your mind wants to shut down..

Bravery is the embracement of what we fear the most. Being present instead of in resistance is what true leaders do. Daring to feel, is taking charge of your own life.

Excercise: Can you recall a moment where allowing a feeling gave you unexpected clarity?

When you stop avoiding and start feeling, a whole new world opens up. Emotions become your allies, your guides.

Key learning points:

Emotions as a base for authentic living

• They help us make choices

• Guide us towards our calling

• Restore our balance

• And give us acces to creative principles

Emotions are our inner compass and these forces preservere our energy field.
