It's all about feelings!

It's been a while since I got to write , been busy with sessions. Just then, someone sent a beautiful picture of themselves in Europe. And a thought crossed, the landscape was so captivating, it took me back to my time in London,  while standing on the bridge with the Thames river flowing underneath. All I could see was the beautiful reflection of the view in front of me on the river, simply breathtaking! One of those magical moments!. It's not just about pictures, its about the way we feel. A thought crosses our mind and how we take the thought , what meaning we attach to the thought...in turn decides the way we feel. Its the way we feel when we look at a picture, it’s the way we feel about life, about the things in our lives. It can be a story, it can be a picture, it can be our work, and it can be the way we feel about a person. It all comes down to feelings in the end.

Out thoughts make up our worlds.....to an extent that our brain needs to process 60,000 thoughts on an average daily.  It's the way we process thoughts internally, some thoughts lighten up, some thoughts makes us happy, some thoughts pain us, some thoughts encourage us, some thoughts makes us feel low etc...But thoughts are there, we cant stop the thoughts coming, but we can definitely choose how we feel about the thoughts that do pop up in our heads. And this is where the feeling starts taking place, and suddenly we feel elated, happy, energetic, vibrant. And we wonder whats it about this moment that we feel like this. It's only a thought...and we feel good about it.

What is it that makes every individual, perceive his or her own experience……it’s the way he or she feels about it. When we are witness to an event happening or when we experience something in our life….the thoughts keep coming, forming sentences in our heads and it comes to what we feel about that thought in that moment. It's the thoughts and the way we relate to it, decides the way we feel about our life as a whole, about the people around us, about the relationships that we hold close to our hearts. It's the feelings that usually decides what our next step would be, what our next move will be. From the top bureaucrat to the person on the street.....it comes to only feelings in the end...its these feelings that makes us who we are as a person, the way we approach our life. 

These feelings help us to survive, help us to scan our environment the way it is. but sometimes these feelings can makes us overwhelmed, it can make us feel uncomfortable, uneasy.....Look inwards and  ask yourself ...what are the feelings connected to. As for the picture that I mentioned earlier, the feeling was nice, but sometimes the feelings are different, so what do we do then. Wait and see what you notice, you might remember something, you might hear some sound..notice some tension in some area of your body....it's a sure sign of making you aware of the things that you haven't been aware of consciously. Don't try to interpret, judge or analyse. Be open to simply notice. We may already think we know why we are feeling in a certain way but sometimes there is more to it than we think.

Am feeling good already...how about you? Am sure you too are....and if you are feeling different at the moment...you always have a choice to shift the way you feel. That means....remember the times when you felt good.  let yourself relax and get comfortable. It could be something that really happened, or something that you create , feel all those pleasant feelings.  Feel your body shift from what you are feeling , letting those feelings go. Let yourself feel feel more relaxed, stay with this feeling until you really feel connected to it.
