Nature Will Always Move Toward Healing: Embrace Your Feelings To Guide You

How often do we label our feelings as bad and try to avoid them? We numb them with distractions, push them aside, or suppress them altogether. But what if I told you that these feelings are actually necessary for us to grow? By embracing our emotions and allowing them to guide us towards healing, we can achieve deeper self-connection and fulfilment. In this blog post, we'll explore how nature is inherently geared towards healing, how our triggers can become opportunities for growth, and why it's crucial to learn from our feelings rather than ignore them.

Nature Will Always Move Towards Healing Itself

Look at a forest that has been burned to ashes. In a matter of months, new life sprouts up from the ashes and the forest is reborn. It's natural and automatic for the earth to heal itself, and the same principle applies to our own bodies and minds. 

Carl Rogers coined this term ‘self-actualising’ which essentially speaks to the concept that all living organisms are naturally predisposed towards healing and striving for wholeness. Our bodies have an innate ability to heal themselves, both physically and emotionally. However, if we don't allow ourselves to feel our emotions, it can hinder our ability to heal. By ignoring our feelings, we're essentially blocking the natural healing process.

Shift Your Perspective On Your Triggers

Triggers, whether they're external events or internal thoughts, are also opportunities for healing. When we experience triggers, it's like our emotions are knocking at the door, asking to be felt. If we ignore them, they'll persist until we do something about it. But if we listen to our emotions and allow ourselves to feel through it, we can use it as an opportunity for growth.

This means that when triggers arise, it is not to hinder us, but to help us. It is an opportunity to work through the issue and move toward a sense of symptom relief, healing and acknowledged wholeness. This shift in perspective can greatly impact how we approach and deal with triggers as they inevitably arise and can assist in deeper healing and self awareness. 

The Resistance To Feeling The Emotion and The Meaning We Assign Is What Causes Pain

Labelling our feelings as bad is a common response, but it's important to remember that feelings aren't necessarily good or bad. They just are. It’s our resistance to feeling the emotion, and the meaning we assign to feeling that emotion that causes us pain. What we do with the feeling is what matters. By embracing our emotions and accepting them for what they are, we can learn from them and grow. For example, if we feel angry, we can ask ourselves, "What is this anger teaching me? What boundaries do I need to set? What do I need to let go of?" By reframing our emotions in this way, we can allow emotions to move through us more easily and transform them into opportunities for growth and self empowerment.

Embrace And Learn From Your Feelings To Deepen Self-Awareness

Ignoring our feelings can lead to a lack of self-awareness, which in turn can hinder our ability to connect with ourselves and others. When we embrace our emotions, we become more self-aware and are better able to communicate our needs and feelings to others. This leads to deeper connections and more fulfilling relationships.

In order to truly heal, we need to learn from our feelings rather than ignore them. While it may be tempting to numb ourselves with distractions, it's important to remember that our emotions are there to guide us. By embracing them, we can learn, grow, and achieve deeper self-connection and fulfilment.

Remember…

Remember, embracing your emotions may not always be easy, but it's worth it. By listening to our feelings and allowing them to guide us, we can achieve deeper self-awareness and ultimately, healing. Let’s stop labelling our emotions as good or bad and start seeing them as opportunities for growth. Because ultimately, all nature is geared towards healing.
