The Value of
the Emotional Chakra
|
|
|
by Jackie Woods |
|
|
All too often, emotions seem like annoying little pests that butt in at inappropriate times. They make you blush and feel embarrassed when you want to look confident and maybe even courageous. They make you angry when you want to be calm. They give away your vulnerability through tears when strength is what you want most.
It is true you enjoy the pleasure emotions bring to you when you are overcome by the beauty of a sunset, or when you get to have a good laugh while watching a comedy on television. The warmth carried by the emotions of love or the sense of being held in an energy cocoon are also valued feelings. However, if you open yourself up to have emotions, you will get the whole package.
What, then, do you do with the 'negative' feelings and what purpose can they possibly serve? The answer is that both the 'negative' and the 'positive' emotions accomplish the same thing. They take you to your heart! The so-called 'negative' emotions let you know there is a quality missing in your life that the heart can fill. The 'positive' emotions add punch to the qualities of the heart that you are expressing at the time.
Let's look back at the first examples of 'negative' emotions. The very qualities you wanted - courage, calm and strength - were the very ones your heart wanted you to claim. If you allow yourself to feel the emotion fully, you will clear out a space for the wanted quality to enter.
There is no need to elaborate about the empowering effect of 'positive' emotions because you have already experienced that. But I might remind you that you will minimize the size of those 'positive' feelings by ignoring or getting stuck in the 'negative' ones. It stands to reason that if you shut down half of your emotional chakra, that it will shrink.
The other side of shutting down comes with the over-reactive emotions that 'muck' up your emotional chakra. This only happens when you fail to realize that those so-called 'negative' feelings are simply stepping stones to what you need. Those needs are found in the qualities of your heart. No one can keep them from you nor give them to you. You must claim what is rightfully yours, and your emotional chakra is there to act as the indicator.
So stop viewing your emotional chakra as a bother, and utilize it to the fullest. Let it serve your heart as it was meant to do. While it is true that there are some ways that are better than others for expressing your emotions, there are no emotions that are worthless.

Jackie Woods
Healer & Spiritual Teacher
|
 |
Jackie Woods' training in the "metaphysical school of psychic instruction" began with her first moments of life. She was born with a psychic gift, which became the vehicle for her training by three Spirit Guides and several Angels.
In her small Midwest hometown, people looked askance at anything that couldn't be seen, touched, or proven. Her mother gave Jackie good advice by cautioning her not to tell anyone what she "heard" or "saw". Jackie's gift grew until she was mature enough for its unveiling as an adult.
After much resistance on her part, the unveiling of Jackie's gift did happen. She finally surrendered to use her ability to see and work with energy. Jackie began her mission of bringing healing to the planet by lifting unhealthy energy patterns from people's auras, and by instructing them on how to find their heart's truth.
Jackie began her career as a healer and spiritual teacher in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1978. As news traveled that this woman could really change a person's life, people began coming to her in droves. By 1985, she had a three year waiting list. Over the years she has touched and changed the lives of thousands through her courses, seminars, and individual sessions.
In 1998, Jackie moved from Atlanta to Columbus, North Carolina, where she founded the Adawehi (Ah-dah-way-hee) Healing Center. This facility is used to support people in healing all four of their bodies (spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical). Alternative forms of natural healing are offered, such as Awareness Courses, Spiritual Growth Counseling, Energy Work, Deep Tissue Massage, Non-force Chiropractic, Color & Sound Therapy, Meditations, Classes, and Interactive Workshops. Jackie's Awareness Courses are also available via the Internet.
In December 2002, construction was completed on the Adawehi Institute. This 8000 square foot facility allows Jackie to take her teachings to larger audiences and to make available a wider range of healers and teachers.
As an author, Jackie has published two books; Journey to Ultimate Spirituality and Spiritual Energy Cycles; an audio tape, Meditation and Needs; a CD, Four Way Mental Communication and Emotional Sharing, and several magazine and Internet articles. She has been interviewed on television and radio, in Internet chat rooms, and by newspapers.
