Storm of emotions: feeling bad, feeling good? What is the truth?

If we admit or not, emotions, feelings are all around us.

That can be, we close our eyes and don't want to see anything, but that doesn't change the fact.
Imagine, even if you just go for shopping, how you choose between similar products? It sounds easy , right but take a moment and think about it. You have 2 products, the same inhalt, the same calorie. Everything is the same but the packaging. One with dark plastic, one with fancy one. So, take your choice :)

The point is, we can live with our emotions together or puttung them aside and making ourself believe that we do not have any feelings but it is not true. Just say the truth to you. You can deny, but you can not hide forever. At the end the emotions win. In the worth case they show themselves on the hard way, for example you get sick. With different sicknessyour body ring a bell saying "Hey, you have to take time and rest and think about what are you doing, what are you feeling, how are you really!". Sometimes we jsut forget, it is easier to stay in the dark not letting anybody see us, even we do not want to see ourselves. But is it really the best way?

Now, I would like to ask you to find a silent and cofortable place to take some minute. Sit down and take some deep breath. Close your eyes and slowly let your thoughts away. Now imagine a nice place where you feel comfortable. Imagine a big white canvas in front of you. Now start painting. You can decide you paint for  the first time a colorful picture or a black and white one. Take your time and paint what comes out naturally. As you finished step backwards one step. From where you are copy the whole environment but now with the opposite colors. If in the first picture the environment was colorful, now take a black & white. If your painting was colorful, now paint black & white, if it was black & white, now paint a colorful one.

When you are ready watch both paintings from outside watching also the environment. How does it feel when you are watching the colored one and the black & white? Which emotions come up? Any memories are coming into your mind?

Take time first in that imagination where you feel the most comfortable. After a while change it to the other one. Take your time in both scene till you can see the exact differences. Before you came back from the meditation, think about a happier version of you. Be proud of you to take the first step.

Please, let me know your experience and take your questions if you have. :)

Have a really good day!

“But once in a while, you pick the right thing, the exact best thing. Every day, the moment you open your eyes and pull off your blankets, that's what you hope for. The sunshine on your face,warm enough to make you heart sing.”
