Getting Real Around Emotions - a podcast by Carla Royal, Juliet Fay

Here’s what we explored:

• Feeling all kinds of emotions at the same time and how that doesn’t need to be a problem
• We can feel curious and terrified, happy and sad
• simply feeling emotions rather than analysing and judging them, enables them to flow more freely
• when we get stuck, is when we get overly attached to the meaning we’re making of how we’re feeling
• we have an incredible capacity to simply feel our emotions
• we get in trouble when we split off from that and go into analysis
• there’s intelligence in our emotions, not meaning but intelligence
• in deep grief there is love
• in every emotion, at root, there is love
• as we get more of a sense of our deeper essence, we get kinder towards our experience
• what can stop us wanting to feel, is fearing losing control
• more and more places where we are trying to hold on become visible
• control dropping away is something Juliet fears and longs for all at the same time
• just out of sight, is a huge expanse of love
• control is all about fear and trying to keep the separate self, safe
• control gives us an illusion of safety but actually holds us prisoner
• hyper-analysis and judgment of our experience/how we feel can cause a whole lot of suffering
• and yet, we can be kind there too
• we’re noticing we can show up, feeling vulnerable and just see what happens, there’s nothing on it
• there’s a gentleness available as we understand the nature of our experience deeper and deeper
• when we don’t know, it can be a really fertile space if we can just rest there and not be freaked out by it
• when we find ourselves in a situation when we can see you have no control it can be a reckoning, a kind of fork in the road. Can we surrender?
• it causes a lot of stain on our system to try and hold on to control
• there’s a lot of freedom in being able to have emotions and let them move through you freely
• the nature of the human experience is ebb and flow: control and surrender; being in your heart or your head; fear and love
• the storm always runs out of rain, even when we feel off centre, we can know we’ll come back
• the awareness of something deeper begins to come more and more into the foreground
• our emotions are simply inviting us to get present, to come into the present moment and experience them
• Thank you for taking the time to listen. If you enjoy this podcast please share on your social networks and write a review to help others find it. We’re taking a break over the Summer so wherever you are, go well and look after each other.
