Stepping into Emotional Freedom By DL Zeta

[Guest guest]

(Accessing Fifth-Dimensional Consciousness, Part 8)

One of your greatest allies in achieving fifth-dimensional

consciousness is emotional freedom. The emotional level of your being

is located between your conscious and subconscious minds. Since

emotions exist in the realm of the " unseen " , they are a sub-level of

the subconscious mind. We can see the emotional level as a bridge --

or a great gaping chasm -- between conscious and subconscious minds.

Your Emotions Are Gatekeepers to Higher Consciousness

Because your emotions exist between the conscious and subconscious,

they serve as " gatekeepers " to higher consciousness. This is by

design. The condition of your emotional body determines whether your

emotions serve as a bridge or an obstacle to accessing your

subconscious mind at will. Until a person heals and clears their

emotions and enters a place of peace and love within themselves, they

won't gain access to the full array of advanced abilities that reside

within their higher self. It might be said that the emotional level

is a built-in protection mechanism. If you're challenged with

navigating physical reality and the realm of the emotions, you are not

yet ready to take on the unknown and untested waters of your

subconscious mind. Imagine this as akin to serving as captain of a

small boat. If you're unable to safely captain a boat on a small

lake, you won't likely be assigned captainship of a larger boat

sailing uncharted oceans.

The good news is that emotions can be healed and transformed with

awareness, intention and effort. We offer here some techniques for

healing and clearing emotions. Used regularly, these techniques will

allow you to cultivate the inner peace that is a prerequisite for

achieving emotional freedom and the vast wealth of spirit it helps you

to access.

Steps to Emotional Freedom

If you have a backlog of unresolved emotional issues, your emotions

are easily triggered by events, people and circumstances in your

present moment. This constant emotional upheaval perpetually binds

you to the illusion of victimhood, scarcity, self-doubt and other

scenarios that leave you feeling helpless and disempowered.

Helplessness and disempowerment lead to dense emotions triggered and

catalyzed by self-pity. Self-pity at its core is a denial of the

infinite nature of your being and the advanced capabilities of your

spirit. It leads to negative emotions that can block access to the

subconscious.

The triggering of unresolved emotional energy adds density and weight

to every rite of passage that is undertaken. Unresolved emotional

energy is one of the main reasons some turn back from rites of

passage. Transformational periods tend to bring up unresolved emotions

in an effort to purge them. To some, this clearing and cleansing may

seem unbearably painful. Ultimately, it is the willingness to face all

that " comes up " that allows one to take the leap within themselves

that leads to emotional freedom. Clearing the emotions opens the gates

to higher consciousness. When you're willing to see your emotions and

take responsibility for them, you are well on your way to healing and

releasing them.

Discovering Emotional Triggers

In order to clear residual emotions, you will need to examine every

aspect of your present reality to discover emotional triggers.

If you keep unraveling the strings binding you to turbulent emotions,

you will find these emotions are, at the source, wounded and suffering

younger aspects of yourself. In other words, the emotional " wounding "

happened at a point before you understood how the universe works – at

a point when you did not understood how everything that happens to you

is helping you grow and learn. Many of your emotional triggers date

back to childhood years when you felt the actions of others a

'judgment' against you or an indication of your self-worth. Once you

see these situations for the self-affirming opportunities that they

are, you are far less likely to feel injured or wounded by the people,

events and circumstances in your life. By embracing the lesson of a

situation, you transform it into a spiritual understanding rather than

a festering wound in your psyche.

You can heal childhood wounds by working with emotional triggers that

exist in your present moment. Because you are likely to have created

situations similar to your original wounding throughout your life, you

are able to work with your wound within the present timeframe without

excavating the past to find the point of original wounding. You can

find access points through events unfolding here and now.

To gain awareness of emotional wounds operating in your present

moment, pay close attention to circumstances that trigger dense

emotions. If it helps, carry a small notebook and note emotional

triggers you observe. The nature of the circumstances that trigger

dense emotions carry an " energetic signature " that re-creates itself

throughout the life much like a computer virus. This " looping " of

emotional events serves as an energetic bookmark that allows you to

complete unfinished understandings at a later time. As you bring

awareness to emotional triggers, you lessen their power over you.

Discovering Your 'Sacred' Wound

You may at some point choose to undertake an examination of the past

as part of your healing process. One way you can gain awareness of

your original or " sacred " wound is to write a simple autobiography of

your life, touching on emotional highs and lows. Pay close attention

to events that still hold an emotional charge. These events reveal to

you wounded aspects of yourself still emotionally trapped in time. You

can heal and release these aspects by shining the light of your

present-moment awareness on them.

You will probably find that many of your emotional triggers trace back

to emotional wounds you experienced early in your life, usually by age

7 or 8, though not always. There are many different forms this

wounding can take, including the death of a parent, a severe illness

or accident, a seeming abandonment or other loss. All sacred wounds

have in common an emotional trauma that went into " cellular memory. "

Over the years, the essence of this sacred wound is re-energized by

various situations in an unconscious attempt to gain understanding of

the wound so it can be healed and released. Sometimes, a sacred wound

isn't healed in a single lifetime. In this case, the essence of the

wound is carried forward into the next incarnation where the wound is

recreated. It may well be that the emotional wound of this lifetime

was energetically carried over from one or more previous lifetimes.

Even if this is the case, you will be able to trace back to the point

in this lifetime when the emotional wound was reactivated by events in

your life so you could begin to work with it once more..

The Nature of the Wounded Self

As we have said, inside every person there exists wounded aspects that

are most often " wounded child " aspects. These aspects of your self

tend to " take on " unresolved emotions throughout your life. Whenever

something in your present moment triggers this wounded self into

awakening, you experience not only the emotion of what is happening

now, but your entire wounded emotional body that contains the

accumulated wounds of a lifetime. It may seem at times that you're

reliving every troubled emotion you have ever experienced.

Accepting the Gifts of Your Wounded Self

Those times when your wounded self calls forth the full menu of your

troubled emotions are valuable times when you can access emotions and

work with them to bring about healing. You can do this by sitting

with your wounded self and undertaking a review of circumstances tied

to the emotions. When you allow yourself to " re-see " the situations

that created troubled emotions from the light of a higher

consciousness, you bring about healing to wounded aspects of yourself

and release energy being held around situations from your past.

By seeing troubled emotions from a detached and elevated perspective,

you are able to understand the higher purpose for creating a

situation. Once you see the higher purpose of your creations, you

have effectively transformed them into an allies rather than " problems. "

Radical Self-Responsibility

It's important to understand you won't achieve emotional freedom until

you take 100% responsibility for everything in your reality. If you

buy into the illusion that others have created your reality in any

way, you will see yourself as a hapless slave of the whims of others.

A person enslaved by the actions of others is not empowered to take

charge of their emotional life and heal old, troubled emotions.

Taking responsibility applies to all life circumstances, even

situations involving violent acts by others or events in childhood

when others around you acted irresponsibly. When you understand the

nature of soul contracts you hold with others, you will come to see

how everyone in your life, even those who assist you in creating

painful circumstances, is helping you grow and learn. When you look

closely at every situation in your life, you will see the Law of

Attraction in action. At the energy level, you draw every experience

to you. This is the nature of radical self-responsibility. It is only

through this portal that you are able to access the inner peace,

acceptance, understanding, forgiveness, and gratitude that allow you

to expand your awareness.

Transforming Problems: the Doorway of the Subconscious

When you exist in a peaceful place within yourself, you are able to

travel at will between your conscious and subconscious minds. In order

to come into a place of peace, you will need to heal, transform and

release troubled emotions and clear up any " static " making access to

your subconscious difficult. When you have a clear access from

conscious to subconscious, you're able to access your higher self at

will. Your subconscious is the doorway through which you access

fifth-dimensional consciousness and the vast wealth of resources the

universe has to offer.
