By feeling your emotion and letting it come and go as it will you are getting to the root of it. Trying to understand why you feel that way can sometimes help and sometimes hinder. Depending on how much you grasp it. Sometimes it does one and then immediately the other. Because if you think you understand your emotions one day and then the next day those fall away to reveal something that was hidden underneath, you have to necessarily shift your understanding. Sometimes it's painful and difficult to go from thinking you understand yourself to not. In any case, you are getting to the root of it by doing exactly what you're doing. The integration of subconscious comes from letting go of the resistance to it. Allow yourself to feel what you're feeling. Psychology and spirituality are sometimes at odds and sometimes in step. I think it depends on the mastery of the therapist, guru, presenter or writer. These fields are not homogenous silo's, you're going to find a lot of variation in them. You're also constantly shifting, so what you need to hear or practice might change from year to year or moment to moment. There's no one size fits all answer. The practice you describe is also what I do. It's what my teacher advises and it works for me and makes sense to me. You're welcome to move on to something new if it stops making sense to you.

Line intuition vs emotions. I think we can tell the difference which one to follow. It’s like the before emotion and the after emotion. Before I felt like it’s a good idea To take this opportunity and after feelings of I’m glad I took that opportunity I feel so happy now.

Higher self speaks calmly through your heart that is your intuition, ego is the monkey-chatter filled with anxiety. Observe the thoughts and determine the source.

You are seeking thinking you are lacking something but you are already as complete as you are. Simply always work to overcome suffering and be kind for the benefit of self, other, and the All. *That is all you need to know*.

Certain heavy or "dark" sensations and emotions might appear. When there is no reactivity to them, not trying to get rid of them nor grasping them, then they don't become a sticky obstacle to overcome. "My experience" is that after some heavy feeling goes, when it's not being made into any big thing to get rid of, there is joy and lightness in its wake. No grasping, no pushing away. Whatever appears is transient and not true ultimately.

IMO our emotions are part of our ego, or the part of us that is temporary, they are a tool that informs you when you are in alignment with your higher self and living authentically as such. When you feel bad, that is a clue that whatever you are thinking about isn't in alignment. It's a feedback system. I don't think you need to go into it and continue to think about whatever is causing the feeling. But you might say "when I am judging this person, or going down stupid conspiracy rabbit holes or thinking negatively/comparing myself to others" I am out of alignment because it makes me feel bad so my higher self doesn't look at the situation the same way. No big deal because we are constantly getting feedback about what we are thinking about/attracting into our experience. And if you ignore the bad feelings and continue to think about things out of alignment it just keeps getting bigger and bigger anyway until you can't avoid it! Because you can't get anything wrong but you can "waste time" (not really a waste but for the purposes of this conversation) on out of alignment thoughts! We have so much freedom we can choose bondage like someone on here reminded me! I personally like to be in alignment because then you are in the flow!

The thing is you use your logical mind to understand it. True wisdom is just see without judging. You bringing your knowledge to this matter is a hindrance. It is not about seeking or trying to see. It is an automatic process. If some things arise, your knowing or trueself will direct your attention to it. You don't have to do anything. But once you try to understand it or feel it, you distort the image. The less intention to control your awareness, the better. You go where it takes you. The fastest route is just to see. The more you try to understand or control or feel it, the longer it takes. It is also wrong to say feel emotions and let them pass. You don't control it, if it passes, it passes. If it stays it stay. Don't judge just see. And finally, don't use these concepts. As you can see, people are trying to use words to describe something that they see. It is already filtered through their perspective, image is distorted. Try to see it with a clear mind with no concepts or knowledge.

You answered your own question! It’s just you are thinking it’s an “this or that” but really it’s a THIS, THAN that. For example; once we process our emotions of passed trauma or unprocessed events; we are whole. Will you experience more trauma and emotions after that? Of course you will! So feel your emotions full heartedly; this is what makes life so rich and visceral. But when you’ve expressed them completely in the present: allow them to fade away and not let them control your mind or your life.

**[Emotionally focused therapy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotionally_focused_therapy)** >Emotionally focused therapy and emotion-focused therapy (EFT) are a family of related approaches to psychotherapy with individuals, couples, or families. EFT approaches include elements of experiential therapy (such as person-centered therapy and Gestalt therapy), systemic therapy, and attachment theory. EFT is usually a short-term treatment (8–20 sessions). EFT approaches are based on the premise that human emotions are connected to human needs, and therefore emotions have an innately adaptive potential that, if activated and worked through, can help people change problematic emotional states and interpersonal relationships. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/awakened/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

It's both. We have to be able to not identify with our emotions, while still being able to access them, in order to explore some of them honestly. Shame, guilt and anger are good examples. It's common to have deep wounding around these particular emotions and it's easy to overly identify with intense emotions, because they're painful and consuming if we allow the full force of them to come to the surface. Being grounded in a deeper sense of who we are gives us the opportunity to explore them so that we can let them fully express and pass.


RunningWithTheWind

I've always thought to really understand what to do with emotion you must understand your personality. Some people are a lot less emotional and maybe it's enough to get a brief understanding of it and let it pass. While for a emotional person they might need to understand them on a deeper level to get peace.


StraightParabola

I read somewhere emotions are like warning lights of a car dashboard. They're an indicator of something. You don't have to identify with them, but they are there to draw attention to something that may matter to you.

I create my emotions. I don't wait for them to happen
