08. Understanding Emotions and Consciousness

Emotional Intelligence is understanding your emotions and their energies with clarity and truth. Understanding your emotions illuminates your reality and consciousness.

You are human and have the beautiful (and sometimes uncomfortable) experience of feeling emotions. In the same way you can see a certain spectrum of color frequencies and can hear a certain spectrum of sound frequencies, you can experience a certain spectrum of emotional frequencies.

Emotions and emotional energy are not “good or bad,” they are simply vibrations moving through you like waves. Some emotions are more dense than others and have aspects that make them more uncomfortable to feel, move and express. This makes them susceptible to getting stuck in any or all dimensions of your Being, for example in your physical body as pain, or in your mind as limiting beliefs.

It is the dense emotional frequencies that society has labeled as “bad” that we try not to feel, pretend they are not there and ignore the truth of their existence. For decades now emotional intelligence has declined through the societal norms that focus on distraction, avoidance, suppression and repression of emotions, symptoms and various sensations. Unfortunately this lack of emotional awareness and unhealthy expression produce victim consciousness patterns and ways of being that disempower you and separate you from your truth within.

It is now finally coming to light the importance of addressing our emotions and our “shadows,” so we may appreciate the deeper truth of our emotions and the abundant energy hidden within.

The shadow part of you is where you hide things from the world, and even from yourself. The shadow is where the dense energy and low frequency vibrations exist. They are darker, heavier, and from the perspective of Dr. David Hawkin, these frequencies lack the presence of “Light” or God.

When you forget or deny the shadow aspects, you fail to realize how these hidden parts unhealthily express themselves through your subconscious and play out in your life no matter how much you try to control it. This shadow is where your unprocessed energy cycles and is where your unhealed and imbalanced ancestral and collective patterns gather and fester.

Without healthy expression, heavy energy builds and the shadow feels bigger, scarier and more daunting to address. As you unpack your shadow and shine a light into these dark areas, you realize how to healthily move energy, alchemize the heavy energy into light energy and transform the level of conscious awareness you have of your experience.

It is important to understand that you are not your emotions. You are able to feel, hold on to, attach to and release emotions, but they are not a part of your identity. No matter how long you have held onto energy attached to an old story about yourself, belief or narrative, for whatever reason, it is always a good time to gently address that which is no longer true to you.

Emotions naturally come up within us to inform you of the Unconditional Love that is there or that is lacking. They are vibrational truths that hold information regarding what you are experiencing and how one or more parts of you feel about a certain situation, place, experience, etc. This supports you in identifying your needs, boundaries and how to optimally engage in any situation.

Depending on your emotional awareness, you may or may not know what you feel or when you feel it, and you may not know if it is yours, someone else’s or a collective pattern in humanity. This can make knowing where you are, who you are and what you feel very challenging to distinguish. This can unground you and lead you into false beliefs of Self and reality.

Your unique way of expressing emotions is within the blueprint of who you are and is one reason emotional intelligence is so incredible. When you learn to channel your emotions into healthy destructive (ie. destroying limiting beliefs, etc.) and creative forces you utilize the power and charge within emotional energy more optimally and in an aligned way for yourself . You begin to feel your power and express yourself more freely.

Emotional energy is so powerful and is one of the main aspects used in marketing. If we are masked by our unprocessed low vibrational emotions, our conscious free will and choice can be more easily manipulated into choosing something that doesn’t truly align with our greatest good.

When you acknowledge that you are not your emotions, and can bring conscious awareness to what you are feeling, you shine a light into the shadow aspect of yourself. You illuminate the truth and may even be reminded of something you knew a long time ago and forgot about, or decided to hide away until you were ready for it now.

What lives within the shadow aspect of yourself is stuck emotional energy that needs to be acknowledged, listened to and moved out of the shadow and into the light. This stuck emotional energy is attached to a point of view on life, a limiting belief about yourself, a specific feeling, a certain frequency and vibration, etc.

When you slowly illuminate these shadow aspects and bring in light, breath, and consciousness, the energy begins to move which may now be reclaimed, transformed and utilized in an optimal way. The truth comes out and what was previously chaotic unprocessed energy begins to flow in coherency and harmony.

When your emotions are triggered or provoked, this provides an opportunity to address the shadow and find flow with the energy rather than resisting it or fighting yourself. As you bring these dark energies into the light, what messages do they hold for you? What limiting beliefs, thoughts or ways of being are ready to be alchemized?

Look at this modified chart from Dr. David Hawkins’s Map of Consciousness. Notice if any particular emotional state, view on life, emotion, etc. resonates with you right or provokes a shadow within you that may be ready to be addressed. Here is a short youtube video of Dr. David Hawkins discussing this Map of Consciousness.
