SPY 29: The Spider Analogy and Our Fear of Feelings
Show Notes

I'm going to make an audacious claim here.

You are more afraid of your feelings than you even realize.

I'm not saying that to try to judge or shame you.

I'm saying that to bring awareness to something that is impacting your life in a monumental (& probably catastrophic) way.

Our feelings are NOT some collection of soft, unimportant, remedial inconveniences.

They impact every facet of our lives.

They are so, so powerful, wise, intelligent, sacred.

They are the reason we want or don't want anything.

They drive all of our behaviors-- EVERYTHING we do or don't do.

They determine our lived experience in the now.

They determine what our FUTURE experiences will be.

They dictate how we treat others, how we treat ourselves, how we raise our children, how we contribute to our community.

A feeling is the worst thing that could ever happen to you.

A feeling is also the best thing that could ever happen to you.

And yet, when you are spending the bulk of your life subconsciously afraid of your feelings and attempting to avoid a fat chunk of them, you are having a fragmented, disempowered experience.

What if you could be empowered by ALL of your feelings?

What if every feeling that floated through your skin suit wasn't a jump scare that you wanted to escape from but was remarkable access to wisdom and intelligence that words aren't sufficient to describe?

What if you shifted your perspective away from only wanted to happy, to wanting to have the FULL, juicy human experience?

Welcoming all possible emotions with open arms just for the brilliant contrast of it all?

Ah, what if indeed.

The quantum internal shift from fearing our feelings to being willing to feel any emotion, is one you don't want to miss.
