To allow uncomfortable feelings is to be fully alive because it opens the emotional faucet that also supplies joy and excitement.

No matter how you look at it, you are both humanity and presence.

Unprocessed intense emotion goes underground and creates a subconscious block that can be released as soon as the original event is integrated in the mind, heart, and body.

Sometimes emotion is gentle, like rain feeding the river to nourish life, but sometimes it explodes like a rainstorm whose floodwaters wipe out bridges and homes.

The language of feelings is not linear, logical, and verbal like the language of thinking.

Feelings are spontaneous and organic like breath. Allow them to leave and you'll know the same relief as when you exhale.

When we pay attention and listen instead of denying, suppressing, fearing, or disliking our spontaneous feelings, we gain great access to our natural intuition.

Feelings naturally arise as passing states of awareness and are not part of us - rather, they give feedback and then expire.
