Expressing Emotions from Multiple Perspectives
We all have emotions, but sometimes it can be difficult to express them in a way that fully reflects what we're feeling. One of the most powerful techniques for truly understanding and releasing our emotions is by using the simple format:
“I feel [emotion] because I…”
This helps to create a connection between the emotion and the underlying cause or reason for it, which allows us to process and release it more effectively.
For example:
“I feel sad because I miss my friend.”
“I feel frustrated because I am facing challenges at work.”
At first, it may seem simple, but when we express emotions this way, we are allowing ourselves to feel them on a deeper level. Now, let's explore this from a few perspectives:
Quantum Psychic Perspective
From a quantum psychic perspective, emotions are energy in motion. When you say, “I feel sad because I miss my friend,” you are connecting to the energy of sadness, which is a frequency that resonates within your energy field. This emotional energy has a certain vibration. If left unacknowledged or suppressed, that energy becomes stagnant and gets trapped in your auric field and energy body.
Quantum healing suggests that unprocessed emotions can create blockages in your energy system, impacting your overall vibration and flow of energy. When you express emotions clearly, you are allowing the energy to move and shift through your field, preventing the build-up of stuck emotional energy. This helps you avoid long-term emotional stagnation, which can lead to physical and mental issues.
Psychotherapy Perspective
From a psychotherapy perspective, expressing emotions in the format of "I feel [emotion] because I..." is a foundational tool for emotional processing. In therapy, emotions are often seen as signals from the body and mind that need to be understood and processed.
When emotions aren’t expressed, they can remain in the subconscious, and they manifest in unhealthy patterns. For example, repressed sadness can turn into depression, frustration can become anger, and fear can manifest as anxiety. By labeling the emotion and its cause, it gives the person the space to reflect, process, and release it.
In the therapeutic context, this also helps create emotional awareness, which is the first step in healing. Acknowledging that you feel sad because you miss your friend is much more helpful than just saying “I feel sad.” This deeper acknowledgment allows you to engage with the feeling rather than avoid it.
Heart and Soul Perspective
When we talk about emotions from a heart and soul perspective, emotions are not just mental constructs—they are part of our soul’s communication system. Our heart holds the wisdom of our emotions, and they are a way our soul speaks to us.
When we feel emotions like sadness, joy, or fear, we are often tapping into deeper layers of our soul’s journey. Saying, “I feel sad because I miss my friend” connects you to the depth of the feeling, helping you understand that sadness isn’t just a passing feeling—it’s a call for connection from the soul.
From a soul perspective, emotions are meant to be experienced fully. They are the bridges between our human experience and our spiritual essence. By giving them space to flow and express, you honor your soul's need for healing and understanding.
Personal Perspective
Here’s something I’ve learned the hard way: you really do need to process all your emotions. Each and every emotion that you’ve ignored, denied, or not fully processed is sitting stuck somewhere in your body. And only you can process it. I’ve realized that if we don’t take the time to fully process emotions, they don’t just disappear—they stay in our bodies, like energetic imprints that affect our physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Now, here’s something very important to understand: when you say, “You make me feel sad,” or “You make me angry”, that energy gets stuck. Why? Because when you blame someone else for how you feel, you're disempowering yourself. You're giving your emotional energy to someone else and taking no responsibility for it. When you blame, you are locking yourself in a cycle that prevents the energy from moving. It stays stuck in you.
However, when you stop blaming and say, “I feel sad because I miss my friend,” or “I feel angry because I feel misunderstood,” you are taking ownership of your feelings. This allows you to understand why you're feeling the way you are, and most importantly, it gives you the power to shift and move that energy. By taking responsibility for your emotions, you unlock the ability to heal and process them, and they can start to move again.
When you take responsibility for your emotions, it means you're no longer a victim to them. You're no longer trapped in a cycle where the emotions stay stuck. Blaming keeps you stuck in an emotional loop, but taking ownership allows the energy to flow, shift, and eventually release.
Personal Experience: Communication with My Daughter
Looking back, I see how I could have communicated better about my emotions, especially in relation to my daughter. There were times when I felt deeply sad about the state of our relationship, particularly during moments when she was struggling with self-harm. At the time, I used language like, “You are making me feel sad”—as if she was the cause of my sadness. But looking back, I realize I wasn’t fully owning my emotions.
Instead of saying, “You are making me feel sad because of your actions,” what I really needed to say was, “I feel sad because I feel helpless. I can see that my daughter is in pain, and I feel helpless because I don't know how to support her.”
By expressing it this way, I would have taken full ownership of my feelings. I would have processed my sadness, understood its root cause, and then shifted my emotional state. Instead of staying in a place of helplessness and sadness, I could have asked myself, “What do I need to feel powerful in this situation? What tools can I use to better support my daughter?”
By asking these questions, I would have been able to shift from helplessness to empowerment. And that shift would have led me to upskill, seek support, and eventually develop powerful tools to cope with the situation in a healthy way.
Now, I can support other mothers whose children are struggling with self-harm. I no longer fear the pain that I see their children feeling, nor do I fear the pain my own daughter once felt. I’ve learned to tap into those emotions, even when they are hard to bear, and work through them. I now help others process this kind of emotional pain with compassion and understanding.
I’ve also realized that under every feeling is a need. When an emotional need is unmet, it creates even more emotions to work with. By identifying and addressing that need, we can better understand the root cause of our emotions and heal more effectively.
A Powerful Insight on Emotional Processing
Luckily, I had intuitively gone through several years of daily emotional clearing through the Akashic Records process. I had been actively processing and clearing stuck emotions for about three years before I made the transition from Light Body 6 to Light Body 7. Honestly, I hate to think of how much more intense the experience would have been if I hadn’t gone through this consistent daily emotional clearing beforehand.
Clearing emotions daily, especially through the Akashic Records, allowed me to release deep, subconscious emotional blocks that could have otherwise become overwhelming when transitioning to a higher light body. Without this prior emotional clearing, the process of shifting to Light Body 7 would have been much more intense, as emotions that are unprocessed would have needed to be dealt with on a more profound level. That kind of experience, while transformative, could have been much more difficult without the foundational work I did through the Akashic Records process.
The Challenge of Unprocessed Emotions
When emotions are ignored or pushed down, they get stored in our subconscious mind and auric field, creating emotional blockages that can eventually manifest physically and emotionally. These stored emotions become like a backlog of energy that doesn’t get the chance to release and process naturally.
For example, I had a lot of fear stored in my body—fear that I had not fully processed in my emotional body. This fear stayed with me for a long time, and when it started to shift, I went through months of intense emotional processing. It was overwhelming at times. There were moments when I felt like I was in a constant cycle of fear, and I didn’t know when it would end.
What I realized, though, is that when emotions are not fully processed, they can build up and create emotional overload. But when we begin to process them, they can be released more fluidly, and we can return to a state of balance. This experience taught me just how important it is to allow the time and space to process each emotion fully.
The Healing Process
The key here is allowing emotions to move naturally through your system. When you express “I feel sad because I miss my friend”, you are giving your body permission to process the sadness and allow it to move out through your emotional body. This is a necessary step in healing.
When emotions are allowed to be felt and processed, the physical body no longer has to carry them. This is important because the emotional body serves as a filter, helping to process energies before they become trapped in the physical body. When this filter works effectively, the physical body remains lighter, healthier, and more aligned with its natural state.
Final Thought
So, the next time you feel an emotion, I encourage you to fully feel it—not just mentally label it. Use the format: “I feel [emotion] because I…”
This creates a bridge between the mental, emotional, and energetic bodies, allowing you to release and heal, instead of letting energy stay stuck and stagnant in your field.
When you allow emotions to flow, you allow yourself to heal, grow, and evolve. Let that energy move through you—gently, naturally, and without resistance. And remember, if you’ve ever ignored an emotion or brushed it aside, that energy still exists within you—and only you can process it.
By allowing yourself to process every emotion you feel, you will release the energetic blocks that once held you back. You will open yourself to greater emotional freedom, peace, and inner alignment.
Lots of Love as always,
