I mean it’s very personal to every individual, but just on the top of my head… take sadness… and how it can lead you to discovering more of your authentic self.
Sadness is something what usually arises when something deeply meaningful to us is felt to be lost. So in a way it can point us in a direction to show to us what we truly value and love.
By not running away from that sadness or trying to distract ourselves to cover it up, we can look at it, feel it, and embrace it in order to let it be felt and then let go of. And in doing this, we learn not to push anything down, and we might also peel away layers of falsehood, layers of identity, that might just come from societal contracts and expectations, and thus revealing what genuinely matters and what can be simply let go of. And by doing so we become more independent and stronger individuals.
And this can lead to a whole array of different things happening, as you might then understand that grief is a natural and necessary process to loss, which then might lead you into reading about the 5 stages of grief, and then maybe shadow work etc etc.
Just examples above. But it just illustrates that all you do in feeling into it and learning about it, is that you raise your awareness, you rise to an elevated position, and you become more conscious and acquire greater emotional control and ability to live a fuller life.
