What if the emotions we dread most—shame, guilt, anger, jealousy—aren’t the problem? What if they are actually love, showing up in a different form?
We’ve been conditioned to believe that certain emotions are "difficult", "bad" or "low vibration." But emotions are simply energy in motion, meant to flow through us. When we resist them, judge them, or suppress them, they become stuck. But when we allow them to move, they naturally shift, transforming into higher states of being.
Think of emotions like a river—when we build a dam, the water stagnates or gets diverted. But when we let it flow, it finds its way back to its original state. The same goes for our emotions. Fear, when met with presence, can shift into trust. Anger can become clarity and passion. Shame can soften into self-acceptance.
Instead of pushing emotions away, what if we met them with curiosity? What if we stopped seeing them as problems to fix and instead as doorways back to love?
Because if we are made of love—if everything is love—then even our hardest emotions are simply invitations to return to that truth. But we have to learn how to allow them to move through us and teach us what we need to know.
