Wherever You Go, There You Are

Emotional Honesty – You know, wherever you go there you are. How many times have we heard that in our lives? Isn’t it funny to think about? You just can’t leave yourself behind and take a vacation from yourself when you’re fed up with being.

Well, guess what? If we learn how to be emotionally honest with ourselves in every moment, not anyone else, we would be completely clued into our innate guidance systems. Our guidance system lets us know what is good for us, where it is wise for us to be or not to be, who we should hang out with or who it is wise to share our intimate thoughts with, etc.. There is more peace in our lives when we are guided and conscious of it in the moment and acting upon it therein. Trusting our own connection to divine guidance and not always looking outside of ourselves for confirmation or approval would be a powerful way to live if we acted in integrity. Woo-woo! Doesn’t that feel liberating?

The less than positive emotions tend not to rise in our bodies when we are in emotional integrity within ourselves. Remember the study Braden sited regarding DNA shortening with stress and therefore not being able to express itself appropriately. It would most likely result in defective cellular regeneration. This would mean that if we remain in emotional integrity with ourselves that in the future there would be no need to struggle with releasing old energy patterns that no longer serve us. They would be dealt with in the moment not decreasing optimum cellular integrity over time. Wouldn’t that have been wonderful to have learned in childhood?

Identifying our feelings in the moment and expressing them if necessary, being observant of how people respond, and being honest about what we feel keeps our bodies, mind and spirit clear of negative influences. When we are in harmony with ourselves, harmony increases all around us. There is then no resistance to interactions with others or God. What a novel concept.

Imagine all of the heart disease that would have been avoided. Of course, this would have required that someone would have guided us on this journey since childhood, or we would have incarnated in a very conscious state. Kudos to those of you who were blessed with wise parents or great teachers and many blessing to all of us on this journey of life.
