Hello darling. You look beautiful tonight.
Thank you handsome. You're always such a gentlemen.
Hmm...
What would it be like if you could have a relationship like this with your emotions?
It's possible.
Now of course you're going to have fights from time to time. However, it is possible that you can have a much more healthy relationship with your emotions.
I'm not going to tell you about happy emotions today. Not a chance.
I'm going to speak straight from the heart and talk to you about those deep dark places in your soul that rumble around. The pit in each of us that is blacker than black.
Hate. Fear. Greed. Anxiety. Anger.
And a lot of pain.
We all have access to these emotions. The only difference between each of us is that they are brought out in many different ways. For some it could be heartbreak. For others it could be the loss of a job.
But we all have access to those emotions and they are incredibly powerful and possibly destructive if you don't know how to skillfully handle them.
That's what I really want to talk about today.
Carl Jung, the famous psychologist once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow."
If we really dive into that logic, the more you tap into the lighter sides of you the greater the access we have to the darkness. Because when you stretch one way you stretch the other as well. This scares most people to death.
But when we have committed to going out into the world and actually living, to chasing our dreams and to being the best person we can possibly be, we change in ways we never predicted. Along with that light comes the shadows and we must be able to coexist with our own shadow no matter how dark it may be at times.
The skill to develop here is this...
Use every single shade of life to create something beautiful with the experience of living.
In the times of darkness create beautiful, dark, inspiring, dangerously emotional paintings that express what is happening inside. Watch the paint flow representing the energy that is inside of you and put it out in your own form of art.
Create everything with it.
Express those energies and put them out there vulnerably for yourself (and maybe the world) to see. Do not trap them inside of you and let them create chaos inside your soul for too long.
Stuffing things down or avoiding what you are actually feeling is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.
Create something beautiful on the canvas of your life with every experience available to you.
The dark. The light. Make something beautiful with both.
