Emotions - Our Soul’s Communication Technology
We have within us a technology, a guidance system that's highly personalised, adaptive, and perfectly calibrated to our unique truth. A self-regulating, self-improving masterpiece - always at work and accurate. It's the truth-teller - perceiving every situation, person, and circumstance exactly as it is and providing feedback instantaneously.
No prompt required. No wait time. No upgrade required to gain access.
If the title doesn’t give it away yet, I'm talking about our emotions.
I know this seems counterintuitive at first - that's only because most of us have forgotten how to use this technology. We've been conditioned to ignore it, to systematically muffle it.
WHAT EMOTIONS REALLY ARE?
Every feeling carries a message. Think of emotions as an interface - the bridge between our human self and our inner wisdom. This interface serves as the ultimate diagnostic and communication tool, testing the alignment of our outer world with our inner world, and relaying results to us in real time.
How? Well, through varied emotional states that we experience. Imagine a pendulum, where the point of equilibrium is our natural state of peace, calm, and joy. When our choices align with our deeper truth, our emotions affirm it with ease and clarity, and we remain centred. However, when we drift away from that truth, the sophisticated mechanism of our emotional system intentionally swings us out of equilibrium. It tugs at us with restlessness, sadness, frustration, or anger - or sometimes the other way: rush, excitement, excessive enthusiasm - not as punishment, but as a vital signpost indicating we need to course correct and consciously calibrate our path back to our centre.
HOW TO WORK WITH OUR EMOTIONS.
A lot of us have a very challenging relationship with our emotions. And if we want to learn how to use this technology to our benefit, we need to change our relationship with it - bring in harmony and understanding.
Here are some useful tips to start building a friendly relationship with this technology:
One: Learn to Pause
When emotions arise, notice what happens. Is there discomfort? Is there an urge to distract ourselves - reach for our phone, bury ourselves in work? Instead, do the opposite. Learn to pause and be in the presence of that feeling. Let the emotion sit with us.
Two: Release the Need to Judge
Labels like "good" or "bad" have no place in our emotional system. Anger isn't our enemy - it often points to important boundaries. Sadness isn't weakness - it highlights what matters most to us. Fear isn't failure - it usually indicates untapped potential that needs to be nurtured and harnessed.
In the spaciousness of non-judgment is where emotions can deliver their true message of wisdom.
Three: Look Inward Instead of Outward
Emotions happen within us and are encrypted with a unique message meant to show us the way forward. To decode the message, we need to look within. When someone's actions trigger a strong reaction or an emotion such as anger, instead of focusing on changing them, we need to ask ourselves: "What part of me is being touched here? What is this feeling trying to show me about my own needs or boundaries?"
Four: Follow the Trail with Curiosity
Emotions don't lie. If there's a feeling swinging us off our center, no matter what it looks like on the outside, there's an important message for us. Be curious enough to follow the trail and find the answer.
WHAT CHANGES WHEN WE LEARN TO USE THIS TECHNOLOGY?
We stop needing to control emotions and start letting them guide us. Decision-making becomes clearer because we're drawing on wisdom beyond logic alone.
Our relationship with ourselves deepens, and we gain the courage to make changes that seemed impossible before - leaving situations that drain us, pursuing paths that energise us, setting boundaries that felt too scary to establish.
Overall, we end up making choices that align with our truest self, adding a hue of peace and happiness.
