I chose Way of Understanding to understand myself, my emotions etc, instead of others and it works greatly for that purpose as well.
A few years ago I answered the Question “How are you feeling?” Always with “good”. Even when life was terrible.That wasn’t because I felt good, but rather because I decided at a point in my past, that emotions are to cruel to feel them, so I put them away. It took a lot of work, but I was able to access my emotions a few months later.
But still, it wasn’t easy to tell how I feel deep down most of the time.
After listening to my custom the first time, I immediately felt my emotions much more intense. And I even understood why I felt that way.
That’s why I included Breath of the Storm as well which contains Foundation. To keep me rather calm in these moments of intense emotion.
And tbh, it worked greatly.
Was it more effortful to feel my emotions?
Yes.
Was it worth it?
Absolutely.
