The

Holidays as Doorways to Emotional Freedom and Higher Awareness By DL

Zeta

The holidays sometimes offer opportunities to access and heal

painful emotions of the past. Our willingness to embrace and heal these

emotions is our greatest ally in creating the emotional freedom that is

a key to achieving fifth-dimensional consciousness.

The emotional level of your being is located between the 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 the

conscious and subconscious minds.

Your Emotions Are Gatekeepers to Higher Consciousness

The emotional level exists between your conscious and subconscious

minds, serving as a gatekeeper. This is by design. Until a person

enters a place of peace and love within themselves, they won’t gain

access to the vast array of advanced abilities that reside within their

higher self. In this way, the emotional level is a built-in protection

mechanism. If you're challenged with navigating physical reality and

the realm of the emotions, you're not yet ready to take on the unknown

and untested waters of the 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 will not likely be assigned captainship of

a larger boat sailing vast uncharted oceans.

We offer here some techniques for healing and clearing your

emotions, which will allow you to cultivate inner peace.

The Importance of Taking Responsibility

The condition of your emotional body determines whether your

emotions serve as a bridge or an obstacle to accessing your

subconscious mind. It’s impossible to achieve emotional freedom until

you take 100% responsibility for everything in your reality.

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

are easily triggered by events, people and circumstances in your

environment. This constant emotional upheaval can lead you to "buy

into" the illusion of victimhood, scarcity, self-doubt and other

scenarios that leave you feeling helpless and disempowered.

Helplessness and disempowerment lead to denser emotions that are

triggered and catalyzed by self-pity. Self-pity at its core is a denial

of the infinite nature of your being and the vast capabilities of your

spirit. It leads to an ever denser array of negative emotions that can

bar access to the subconscious.

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

travel at will between your conscious and subconscious minds.

Discovering Emotional Triggers

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

aspect of your present reality to discover emotional triggers. While

many of your emotional triggers date back to childhood, you can find

access points through events unfolding within your present moment. 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 – a

point before you understood how everything that happens to you is

helping you grow and learn. Once you see this, you’re far less likely

to feel injured or wounded by the events, people, or circumstances in

your life.

There may have been times when you felt the actions of others a

'judgment' against you, or an indication of your self-worth. You’re

likely to have created situations similar to your original wounding

throughout your life. This makes it possible to work with your

childhood wound within the present timeframe without excavating the

past to find the point of original wounding (though you may at some

point choose to undertake this examination of the past as part of your

healing process).

To gain awareness of emotional wounds operating in your present

moment, pay close attention to circumstances that trigger denser

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

triggers you observe. As you bring awareness to emotional triggers, you

lessen their power over you.

Discovering Your 'Sacred' Wound

Many of your emotional triggers trace back to an emotional wound 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 in 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

lifetime. In this case, the essence of the wound is carried forward

into the next incarnation where the wound is recreated.

If you choose to gain awareness of your original or “sacred” wound,

you can begin by writing a simple autobiography of your life, touching

on the 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.

This triggering adds density and weight to every rite of passage you

undertake. The triggering of unresolved emotional energy is one of the

main reasons some turn back from a rite of passage. Transformational

periods will bring up unresolved emotions in an effort to purge them.

To some, this clearing and cleansing may seem unbearably painful. It’s

ultimately the willingness to face all that "comes up" that allows one

to take the leap within themselves that leads to the emotional freedom

that is the gatekeeper to higher consciousness.

The Nature of the Wounded Self

Inside every person there exists wounded aspects that are most often

“wounded child” aspects. These aspects of your self "take on"

unresolved emotions throughout your life. Whenever something in your

present moment triggers and awakens this wounded self, you experience

not only the emotion of what’s happening now, but your wounded

emotional body that contains the accumulated wounds of a lifetime. It

may seem at times that you are 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.

Foremost among these past situations will be moments from your

present lifetime, though these wounded scenarios may also be connected

to experiences carried over from past lives.

By seeing troubled emotions from a detached and elevated

perspective, you’re able to understand the higher purpose for creating

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

have effectively transformed it into an ally rather than a "problem."
