Many of them don't want to feel any kind of pain. Fear. Anxiety. Grief. Sadness. Loneliness. Anything negative.
What they're looking for is a life full of happy and joyful emotions. That is totally unrealistic. Kind of like heaven on earth.
Some seem surprised when I ask them to think of their emotions in a different way. Because aour emotions are telling us something about our lives.
We may be sad because we've experienced loss or else we're not getting something we think we should have.
I often make suggestions when they're under hypnosis that they learn to face their emotions. To embrace their emotions and integrate them into their lives. I suggest that if they're suffering from fear they should face it, they should bring it close and see if it's based on anything real.
If they are plagued with anxiety they shouldn't try to run from it or cover it up with a drug. Instead, they should bring their anxiety close, see what it's based on. They may learn something about their thinking.
Once I started facing my own emotions – whether good or bad – I began to live a much more fulfilling life. My emotions were no longer an enemy that I had to hide from. Instead, once I examined them they gave me an idea of what I needed to work on.
