Emotional Intelligence

Emotions are interesting.  They can wake us up, shut us down, we can project them, we can bury them, we can act out, they can be destructive.  When we base our actions on our wounds, then we aren’t acting in the Divine Highest Good of all.  It takes courage and strength to ask for what we need and how we want to be in this world and with God all things are possible.

I have recently had a situation happen and I could see myself acting out this childhood wound of peacekeeper, parent, and fixer.  It was something that I used to do as a child because I could feel so much of what was underlying a situation.  That was the empath in me.  I was and am such a feeler.  I have deep compassion and drive to help people realize their own patterns and behaviours that I really have to watch my own first.

Yesterday I got this book and it was Psalms, Prayers of Many Moods.  In the spiritual community I really had difficulty connecting with my inner child.  This way of connecting with my emotions and asking for guidance and help with my emotions was the best way that I knew how to handle things.  When you are a deep feeler, asking God or Source for help with those emotions and how your behaviours and patterns are playing out, gives me more understanding and wisdom.  It can in turn help to strengthen your spirit by asking for boundaries, protection and perhaps skills.  With God all things are possible.  

When I went to bed last night after reading some of the prayers that were specific to what I was working through, I felt a deep sense of peace and comfort.  Even after a rough day of emotional turmoil, these prayers provided me peace, a deep sense of peace.  The peace was so wonderful, I could say that I was really really grounded.  It felt like I found the emotional support that I had always lacked in my life, even from myself.  It filled me with a new found sense of grace.

In a world where we are emotionally triggered and playing out our patterns and behaviours, it was time for me to be responsible for my own self and ask God to help me with my emotions and for me to create the life and the person that I want to be in all situations.  Through my soul, I stay centered and respond from the voice that only I can hear.

I pray for your emotions to find the peace and grace that they may need in your connection with God.
