Hello there and welcome to a new episode.

Human emotions are complex and diverse, ranging from joy and love to sadness and anger. It is essential to recognize that all emotions serve a purpose and contribute to our overall well-being.

In this episode we explore the importance of allowing all emotions to surface, acknowledging their presence, and embracing them without judgment. By cultivating emotional freedom, we can experience greater self-awareness, authentic connections, and a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Transcripts

Unknown:

Oh hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown:

experience. I'm your host Aurora, life coach and companion

Unknown:

on this beautiful journey called life, I hope you feel good, I

Unknown:

hope you feel good and your skin good mentally, I hope you feel

Unknown:

good Emotionally, I hope you feel safe

Unknown:

and expansive. And if you're having an off day, or if you're

Unknown:

going through a rough patch, a rough phase in your life, I hope

Unknown:

I can bring you value and comfort and make you feel less

Unknown:

lonely. Today I want to talk about feeling and allowing,

Unknown:

welcoming all your emotions. All too often I hear people say that

Unknown:

they struggle with their emotions being you know, up and

Unknown:

down swings and unpredictable and not pleasant. And that they

Unknown:

wish that they could only have the good juicy feelings in their

Unknown:

lives. And yeah, that inspired me to talk about it today.

Unknown:

Because for the longest time, I also struggled with, you know,

Unknown:

not allowing my emotions to come up and harshly judging them. And

Unknown:

by judging your emotions, by not allowing them to come up by even

Unknown:

suppressing them, you can create huge discomfort within yourself,

Unknown:

even to a point that you become physically sick. So I'm not

Unknown:

making any claims, you know, I'm not a doctor, I'm not a

Unknown:

professional, all I want to do is to support your journey back

Unknown:

home to yourself. But there is studies out there you can do

Unknown:

your own research that say that when you are emotionally

Unknown:

suppressed, when you live and resentful mode, a suppressed

Unknown:

mode, then you are more likely to become sick. And I find that

Unknown:

very beautiful that there's more and more research coming out and

Unknown:

more people are becoming aware of how important it is to live

Unknown:

an expressed life where you are not fearful of the feelings that

Unknown:

you feel. Excuse me. So first, we want to distinguish between

Unknown:

emotions that are you know, fully valid, and have to be

Unknown:

there and have to be have to have a certain degree of

Unknown:

attention. And then we want to distinguish or on the other

Unknown:

side, reflect on emotions that are old wounds that still need

Unknown:

to heal. And we can question them, we can acknowledge them,

Unknown:

but then also not give too much importance to them and kind of,

Unknown:

you know, taught turn the volume down on those kinds of emotions.

Unknown:

But let's first dive in a little deeper on the emotions that are

Unknown:

there and that want to be felt. Let's take an example of a guy

Unknown:

who's attending a party and he knows that his ex girlfriend is

Unknown:

going to be there with her new partner. And he still has

Unknown:

feelings for her. He, you know, got over the relationship. But

Unknown:

it is really hard for him to suppress the emotions of love

Unknown:

and joy, that when he sees her, he literally wants to jump into

Unknown:

her arms and just, you know, be present with her like it used to

Unknown:

be back then this guy is going to attend that party now. And

Unknown:

it's going to try to put our mask, try to suppress his

Unknown:

feelings, try to not have her see him suppressing his

Unknown:

feelings, and it's going to be a whole mess. Because he feels he

Unknown:

has to suppress his feelings and he cannot allow them to be

Unknown:

there. He's going to feel miserable, he's going to act

Unknown:

weirdly behave in a way that is unusual to him. And it's just

Unknown:

going to be an experience of extreme dissonance and non

Unknown:

harmony. If on the other side, he would just admit to himself

Unknown:

that he is a human being that he has feelings and that he totally

Unknown:

accepts himself in that space with these feelings. He could be

Unknown:

more himself, and he would certainly probably come across

Unknown:

as less awkwardly because of not suppressing these feelings,

Unknown:

right, he could see his ex and just smile and love and

Unknown:

gratitude, and maybe walk over to her, maybe give her a hug if

Unknown:

it's accepted and want it and consent for, and maybe even tell

Unknown:

her, Hey, you know, this is, this is hard for me to see you.

Unknown:

And at the same time, so incredibly happy to see you and

Unknown:

to connect with you, maybe over a chat. And this way, he was

Unknown:

able to allow, allow the feelings to be fully there, and

Unknown:

even express them and it takes all that pressure and

Unknown:

awkwardness out of the game. And he behaves in a natural way that

Unknown:

is totally acceptable and not awkward at all. And he doesn't

Unknown:

drive home with this feeling of, oh, this is not cool. And I

Unknown:

feel, you know, slight constipation, or a slight

Unknown:

overwhelm, because I have suppressed my feelings. So this

Unknown:

is one example of where feelings come up that are, you know,

Unknown:

good. But at the same time, we want to suppress them, because

Unknown:

we don't want other people to see how we feel. And it usually

Unknown:

always fires backwards, because emotions are meant to be

Unknown:

expressed are meant to be there in a way that is healthy for us

Unknown:

and others. And suppressing is never a solution at putting on a

Unknown:

mask is never a solution because you're totally exhausting

Unknown:

yourself. And it's just not fun for anybody involved in this way

Unknown:

you can be transparent, you can be honest with yourself and the

Unknown:

person with you. And you just create a healthy balance with

Unknown:

the outside world and your beautiful inside world. Another

Unknown:

example would be that you receive a message from a parent.

Unknown:

And it is, you know, another post another link or YouTube

Unknown:

video that is about a topic that deeply triggers you and that you

Unknown:

don't want to hear about. And that person has the intention to

Unknown:

you know, educate you support you protect you. But you are

Unknown:

receiving this message, and you really don't like to relate to

Unknown:

that person in this way. So, in short, you receive a message and

Unknown:

it triggers you. You become fearful you become resentful,

Unknown:

you become angry, you become really upset in that moment. And

Unknown:

you choose to just delete that message and to cook or wash your

Unknown:

clothing or to go on a walk. But you're not able to process these

Unknown:

emotions because they are so intense, you feel so triggered.

Unknown:

And it's just all so painful. So you're being sucked into that

Unknown:

little rabbit hole of pain and misery. And you're having a hard

Unknown:

time to get out of it again, you start maybe distracting

Unknown:

yourself, or you start talking with people about this and

Unknown:

blaming the other person for making you feel that way. And

Unknown:

it's just a whole mess of blame and shame and pointing the

Unknown:

finger at the other people. Because it was an outside

Unknown:

trigger. Of course it is easy then to point the finger at

Unknown:

other people outside of you, but the trigger is within you. The

Unknown:

trigger the wound everything is within you because if it was a

Unknown:

huge external triggers, and everybody would be running

Unknown:

around screaming. But if you were to show this message to a

Unknown:

friend, for instance, or your spouse and not see any reaction

Unknown:

and they are just saying well, that's just another message.

Unknown:

That's the proof that you could see that it is a wound with the

Unknown:

new is a trigger that sets you off because there's something

Unknown:

within you that needs healing. So in this case, all the emotion

Unknown:

ones that come up, seem very valid to your mind and your ego

Unknown:

because you truly feel this feelings. But your association

Unknown:

with the trigger or better to say your association with this

Unknown:

feeling is wrong. So you feel anger, you feel fear, and

Unknown:

frustration because of an old trigger, but not because of

Unknown:

something happening in front of you to really validate a

Unknown:

reaction like this. It is your nervous system that is tied to

Unknown:

an old story that reacts. And it is not you being confronted with

Unknown:

a situation that can truly make you feel angry and upset, and

Unknown:

frustrated. Please reach out if I'm not making sense here or if

Unknown:

it is difficult to follow. And I will make sure to clarify. So

Unknown:

the first example was a guy that is trying to suppress emotions

Unknown:

that are there in the present moment, and probably also in the

Unknown:

past, and probably also in the future. But he can learn to

Unknown:

express these feelings instead of suppressing them. And maybe,

Unknown:

yeah, he also feels triggered to some degree when he sees his ex.

Unknown:

And the second example is a person who is triggered by an

Unknown:

outside circumstance. And the trigger is so intense the

Unknown:

feelings that are so real that the person thinks that it is

Unknown:

absolutely valid to feel that way. But this person forgets

Unknown:

that it is an old trigger an old wound that hasn't healed yet

Unknown:

that allows these feelings to come up. So in this situation,

Unknown:

then we would ask ourselves, wow, I'm feeling really angry

Unknown:

and feeling extremely frustrated right now. By receiving that

Unknown:

text message, what is it within myself that I still need to

Unknown:

heal? Or I feel abandoned back then when I was six years old, I

Unknown:

got abandoned by my dad. And it was very scary and fearful for

Unknown:

me to go through. And now I'm receiving this message, and it

Unknown:

brings up this old pain. And I'm frustrated and scared? Well, it

Unknown:

has nothing to do with the message that you just received

Unknown:

from your dad or from that parent. It has everything to do

Unknown:

with you now having to heal that wound and finding out what is it

Unknown:

that you need to nurture the child that was wounded back

Unknown:

then.

Unknown:

I know this is all a little bit complex.

Unknown:

And again, I apologize if it is difficult to follow, I'm doing

Unknown:

my best to make it making it very clear. So in that second

Unknown:

scenario, your nervous system is reacting to something old. And

Unknown:

in that moment, if you feel triggered, you need to find out

Unknown:

what it is exactly, that you need to nurture yourself back

Unknown:

into balance, to come back into a state of harmony and love, and

Unknown:

peace. So yeah, those are the emotions that we usually don't

Unknown:

want to fear, right? We don't want to feel emotions of trigger

Unknown:

a fear of anxiety. We don't want anything to trigger us. But a

Unknown:

life without trigger is never ever going to exist. What we can

Unknown:

learn to do is to make sense of our emotions, and to really see

Unknown:

if we are reacting from a place of deep wound itself from the

Unknown:

past. Or if we are feeling these feelings and then express these

Unknown:

feelings in a way that people want and can listen to us, for

Unknown:

people to understand us and learn about us. And then when it

Unknown:

is the scenario number two, to not blame the other person to

Unknown:

make you feel that way but to take ownership over that. And if

Unknown:

it is a person that deeply loves you and wants to understand you,

Unknown:

you can tell them, hey, this message triggered an old wound

Unknown:

that I'm trying to, you know own up to and why Look through, it

Unknown:

is absolutely not your fault, but I'm still sensitive in that

Unknown:

area. And this is how it makes me feel. I'm not blaming you,

Unknown:

I'm not shaming you. I'm owning up to it. I'm trying to make

Unknown:

sense of it, I'm healing this, and it is all good. So,

Unknown:

regulating your own nervous system, making sense of your

Unknown:

emotions, being emotionally attuned to other people, to your

Unknown:

environment, but most especially to yourself, is a tool that will

Unknown:

allow you to enjoy life, on such a deeper level will make you

Unknown:

feel so much more connected to yourself, but also to the other

Unknown:

people around you. And you will just feel more alive and more

Unknown:

yourself because now you don't have to sit and shame, guilt and

Unknown:

anger for all the feelings of you know, passion, sensuality,

Unknown:

pleasure. Attraction. What else do we have? joy, anger,

Unknown:

jealousy, right? The whole spectrum of feelings that we

Unknown:

usually want to hide have in front of people to have that

Unknown:

expressed, takes away the charge and the load. And we'll release

Unknown:

intense, like tensions within your body and your soul. And it

Unknown:

can free you and liberate you. Sorry, I just lost my thought

Unknown:

here for a second because this huge, rainy clouds rolling into

Unknown:

our beautiful valley here and it's just so awesome to watch

Unknown:

nature, do her thing. All right, my love. I'm gonna leave you

Unknown:

with that. As always, if there's any questions, if there's any

Unknown:

feedback, don't hold back and I will be out there very soon

Unknown:

again. And if you feel like engaging in a coaching session

Unknown:

with me, a coaching journey, where I walk beside you, and

Unknown:

support your past back home to your heart. I'd be more than

Unknown:

honored to work with you and to have you in my beautiful yard.

Unknown:

I'm very excited to having a physical location now where I

Unknown:

can receive people and work with people together on their

Unknown:

journey. All right, take really good care of yourself. And until

Unknown:

next time, bye bye
