- 0:27Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30So today I want to talk to you about emotion and what it really
- 0:35means. Why?
- 0:36Why? Why are we emotional creatures?
- 0:38Why do we have them? Well, you know it.
- 0:41It's my personal belief, and this is going to be more of a
- 0:43spiritual conversation right now, that our emotions were
- 0:47given to us because it's the way we communicate with God and the
- 0:51universe. Now that may sound like a
- 0:53absolute crazy thought, like why is she telling me this?
- 0:56But listen, I want to give you guys all different perspectives
- 0:59and you don't have to agree with me on all of them.
- 1:01But what I really want to do is give you the possibilities of
- 1:04being able to see something in a very different way.
- 1:07Apparently Raven agrees with me this morning, so powers and
- 1:11possibilities and this may just be what you need to hear today.
- 1:14And I was inspired by someone that I love very, very much to
- 1:18have this conversation and had this conversation with someone
- 1:22because of the fact they're going through a rough time.
- 1:24So I wanted to share this with everybody because I think it's
- 1:29critical to our mental well-being.
- 1:32So we have this whole set of emotions, our guidance system,
- 1:35if you will, and it's meant to be able to give us insight
- 1:41quickly, emotions, if if nothing else, give us quick insight
- 1:46because they fire off so fast and we're able to read them if
- 1:50we listen and if we slow down and if we pay attention.
- 1:52So as we are hearing them, we're getting real time data about
- 1:56whether we should shift or not shift.
- 1:59And what that all means. Well, you know, great.
- 2:03We can all understand that. You know, you put your hand on a
- 2:05stove, the stove is hot, move your hand, boom.
- 2:07You know you got to move it before you get a burn.
- 2:10That's what emotions are meant to do.
- 2:12But there's a bigger thing in my opinion, And again, just some
- 2:15food for thought. Nobody has to agree with me on
- 2:18this, but I believe that our emotions were given to us as a
- 2:23gift, to be able to know that we are constantly and consistently
- 2:27connected to God, to the universe.
- 2:29We are never disconnected. As long as you are feeling
- 2:34emotion, you are connected. It is evidence, if you will,
- 2:38that you are part of a bigger tapestry.
- 2:41You are part of something much bigger than you may have ever
- 2:44ever considered. And this information is
- 2:47pertinent to your well-being. Because when in a world where we
- 2:51often all feel completely and totally alone and there's no one
- 2:55to help us, we couldn't be more wrong.
- 2:57Because our emotions are our tether, if you will, to
- 3:00something greater, something bigger, something that we may
- 3:03not have considered. And they're they're providing us
- 3:08again, real time information, real time data as as things
- 3:11transpire. But they're also proof positive
- 3:15that you have something more that you are a part of and that
- 3:19you matter and that you're part of a bigger picture.
- 3:23And for me, that piece of information is critical.
- 3:27Are there times when we go through stuff in our life when
- 3:31we feel completely and totally alone and just can't figure our
- 3:35way out of anything? Sure, because we're stuck in a
- 3:39place of trying to solve problems or understand why.
- 3:44Why? Why?
- 3:44Why? Why?
- 3:45And we don't understand why is this happening?
- 3:48Well, that's a question that's never going to serve you.
- 3:52Because it doesn't matter why it's happening, what matters
- 3:55that it is happening and that we shift and move our emotions, our
- 4:00actions and everything around it so that we can change it.
- 4:04But we can't do that if we don't believe in something bigger than
- 4:06ourselves. We can't do those things if we
- 4:09don't have some sort of faith, some sort of connection and know
- 4:15that we're not by ourselves. And to me, because we have such
- 4:19an intelligent guidance system and emotions and they're so
- 4:23useful, they're so telling, they just give us everything we need
- 4:28to know. Even though we don't like to
- 4:31listen and we don't want to pay attention to it, they are
- 4:33providing everything that we need to know.
- 4:37It's just us that gets in the way, our analytical mind that
- 4:40gets in there and our cognitive thought gets in there and then
- 4:43it doesn't make sense. And because it doesn't make
- 4:45sense, we can't listen to it. Well, let me ask you this.
- 4:49If any of you have had intuition before and we say it was my
- 4:51intuition that that it, Well, what is that?
- 4:54Where does that come from? Because it's not your, it's not
- 4:56your cognitive thought that that happens to.
- 4:58That's comes from your gut, that comes from your soul, that comes
- 5:01from your heart, however you want to look at it.
- 5:04And again, we all have different language on this stuff, but it
- 5:06doesn't matter. It comes from another side.
- 5:08It comes from the ether, if you will.
- 5:10And we say, I don't know, I just had a gut feeling, OK, so you
- 5:13had a gut feeling, you followed it and it was the right thing to
- 5:15do. And nine times out of 10, our
- 5:18gut feelings are the right things to do.
- 5:19But we don't listen because our cognitive thought gets in the
- 5:22way. We block it.
- 5:24We block our connection and our belief in our spirituality.
- 5:28And that's what messes us up and our emotions are are the fiber
- 5:32network, if you will, to all of it.
- 5:35And that's what I want to convey to you guys today.
- 5:38If you feel and experience of emotion, you are not alone.
- 5:42You have a bigger backing of something greater.
- 5:45Now what that something greater is it's different for everybody.
- 5:48Some people believe it to be something with God.
- 5:51Some people believe it to be something with the universe.
- 5:53Some people believe it to be a completely inexplicable thing
- 6:00for for, for science. And some scientists will say no,
- 6:03we are all energetically connected.
- 6:06Everything, rocks, trees, you know, whatever it may be.
- 6:09I mean, just because we don't see them communicating doesn't
- 6:12mean they don't communicate. There's a really fantastic book
- 6:16about that with trees. I think it's called The Hidden
- 6:18Life of Trees. And it's it's all about these
- 6:22trees that the scientists study and how they communicate and how
- 6:25he proved that they communicate and how they used mushroom
- 6:31networks in order to do it and how they would send energy to
- 6:34other trees when they needed it if they were sick or weren't
- 6:38getting enough nutrition where they were.
- 6:40It's a fascinating book, but it's just one more thing in the
- 6:44proof positive world of the fact that we don't know what we don't
- 6:47know. And I think that that's so
- 6:49important to remember. Even if this concept of what I'm
- 6:53talking about is way beyond where you have ever thought
- 6:56anything to be, don't discount it.
- 6:58Because at one point we as human beings thought this earth was
- 7:02flat and we insisted that it was flat and we murdered people over
- 7:06saying that it was round. So what's important to remember
- 7:09is we don't know what we don't know, and possibilities are our
- 7:13way out and you have to feel your way through things.
- 7:16So I challenge you today to really think this through.
- 7:20Think about the fact that this is an emotional proof, proof
- 7:28positive, if you will. OK, that if you're feeling
- 7:32emotions, you are connected to something bigger.
- 7:35There is something more out there.
- 7:37So tap into it, use it, feel it, don't be afraid of it.
- 7:42And know it has your back. It has everything.
- 7:45And when you change your emotions, your world changes.
- 7:49So please, whatever you're doing, stop, pause, and and just
- 7:54give this some thought because it our emotions are how we
- 7:58communicate with the universe, with God, and the more we tap
- 8:02into that, the better off we are.
- 8:04So I'm sending you all big huge hugs today and I hope you have
- 8:09an amazing day and I'll see you tomorrow.
- 8:11Bye.
