Awareness of Your Emotions and Thoughts

Your emotions aren't problems to fix—they're signals. Your spirit is already in alignment with the energy of creation. Your mind defends your current identity through your current beliefs. When pain arises, it's telling you there's an attachment out of alignment. Don't fight it externally. Calm your body. Watch the emotion. Let it pass. Then ask: what feels like peace? You're holding burning coals and begging the universe to take them away. But you have to let them go. Yes, there are consequences. Yes, there's fear. But the moment you release what's hurting you is when you start to feel better. Your heart is telling you one thing: are you on the easiest path to your happiest life or not? If it hurts, it's not in alignment. If it feels like peace, it is. Follow that. Always.

Welcome to Teachings from the Masters with Daryl Sean Price. Hey, welcome. I'm so glad you're here. So I want to talk to you today about your emotions, about your thoughts, and the role that they play in you being the master, the creator of everything in your reality. So we talk a lot about alignment on this podcast. And your emotions and your thoughts are part of that. Your spirit, your heart, your mind, and your body need to be in alignment for you to naturally create your happiest life and manifest miracles in the easiest way possible for you. And a lot of times I think we forget that we need to be in alignment and we start responding only to the emotions or only to the thoughts. Well, the key there is that those are just signals. They have a role. They're there for a reason. They need to be appreciated. But they're just signals. So when you have an emotion, it doesn't matter what it is, it could be anger, it could be happiness and joy, it could be bliss and fun, it could be sadness and depression. It doesn't matter what the emotion is, it is a signal. But we have been brought up in a society that teaches us we have to deal with the emotions and control them in some way. And so because of that belief, whenever an emotion arises, we got to do something about it. Oh my gosh, I'm feeling this, I need to this. Oh my gosh, I'm feeling this, I need to this. And oftentimes it's the negative ones we respond to the most. We enjoy the positive ones. And yes, we respond to them, and oftentimes we get silly or giddy or whatever, and that's fine. But then something hits. Something doesn't go the way you expect, and you're feeling sad or frustrated or anxious or angry or overwhelmed. And immediately you kick your mind into fix that, fix that, fix that. In fact, your mind automatically kicks into fixing that because of the belief you have that that emotion is bad and something to be fixed, and not just a signal on your path. Let's talk about what that is. So, in alignment, your spirit, that being that is the energy of creation itself, that is that same energy that exists in all things, and the trees you see around me, and the grass, and the sun, in the shadow, the energy of creation that is found in all things is your spirit. Which means it is already in alignment. It is already in alignment with what is best for you, and with the energy of creation that's found in all things, because it is the same thing. So, what happens is you now experience. Now, let me make something clear. This energy of creation is energy, it is pure energy. It is not matter, it is not tangible, it is not detectable from human perception, but it is the energy that exists behind all of human perception, of everything that exists. So, as energy, what we do, we take that energy as creators and transform it into experiences, into matter, into people, into situations. And as we transform that, that's what creates what happens in our life. So, and I get this a lot, so I'm sure some of you are thinking it. Well, if that's true, if it's true that our spirit is the energy of creation and it's already in harmony with all of the energy of creation, then how come I'm creating things that are not great for me that don't feel good? Because you're not creating for you to have only good experiences, you're creating for you to have all experiences. But you are guided along the way so that you can do this and learn how to, as a creator, harness that energy of creation in a way that is easier for you and that creates more miracles for you on a regular basis. So here's what happens: so you end up with some experience in life, and it doesn't matter what it is. Let's say some loved one decides they don't like you anymore. Oh my gosh, you had a belief that part of your identity was being liked by that person. And when somebody comes and says, No, that's not true. Well, that goes against the identity that your beliefs say that you are right now. So immediately your thoughts go, oh no, am I unlikable? What did I do wrong? Something is hurting our identity. Protect it, protect it, protect it, protect it, protect it. So your mind does what it's supposed to do. Your mind is processing the experience that is received through the body, through the physical senses. You heard them say that. You were able to see their facial expression, you heard the tone in their voice, whatever it was, you received the experience through the body, the mind processes. But it processes through the filters of your current beliefs. So if your current belief is that person has to like me, because that's part of my identity, part of my identity is that person likes who I am. And all of a sudden they don't? Well, you're in danger. Your current identity is in danger. So, what do you do? Well, if you're just following the programming, all of a sudden you're gonna feel hurt, betrayed, painful. The pain that you feel is a symbol that something you're experiencing is not in alignment with your true self. And that would be the belief that you have to be liked by that person to be who you really are. That's not true. And I know logically you probably know that's not true. But what we do as humans is like, oh no, the hurt, the pain, I've got to get over it, I've got to solve the pain, I don't want to feel the pain. So because I don't want to feel the pain, now your mind is in overdrive saying, okay, not only is our identity being hurt, look, see, it does hurt, we've got to fix it, we've got to fix it, we've got to put this identity back in place so the hurt's not there. So your mind is constantly processing all this information, both internal and external, and it keeps processing and processing and processing. And then what we do is we let the emotion drive the bus based on what the mind is telling us, and rushing to fix the emotional experience externally. So you end up sending texts and you end up trying to reconcile and why don't you like me and what did I do wrong, and let's talk about it, and maybe it's a miscommunication and tense conversation after tense conversation. Now, it's not that any of those actions are right or wrong, it's that those actions are taken from a place of I have to fix the external to protect the identity I currently have so that I feel okay. That's not true. Your feelings are just signals, your thoughts are just processes compared to current beliefs that say what your identity is. And what you're experiencing is just a reflection of your current level of alignment filtered through beliefs. So, what do you do when that situation arises? This is where your superpower of awareness comes in. It isn't about doing, it's about being aware. So, this person doesn't like you anymore. That hurt, oh my gosh, that's a signal to me that I have an attachment there. That pain, that fear, that worry that I'm losing something tells me I have an attachment there. That doesn't feel good. Oh, that's a signal that something's out of an alignment. Oh, so the belief that would cause that hurt that I have to have would be that that person has to like me for me to be a good person, for me to be who I am, for my identity to be safe, that person has to like me. I see where the attachment is, I'm aware of it. And being aware is just that, being aware. Okay, that experience happened. It felt like this. I'm aware of it, and I get to watch it happen. Okay, this person doesn't like me anymore. Oh, that felt like that. That means I have this attachment. Okay, that's something I can release and let go of. Now, how do you release it? What you do is first calm the body. Something happens that threatens your identity, that causes you to go into a panic of any sort. Calm your body. Deep breath in through the nose, out through the mouth. Make sure you're breathing out longer than you breathe in. You're telling the body and sending signals you're safe right now. There's nothing here to hurt you. Once your body is calm, you get your mind to stop defending the current identity and current beliefs and just watch the emotion. Okay, there's hurt. I'm gonna watch that hurt. Okay, I this is where I feel that hurt in the body. I'm aware of it. That tells me something's out of alignment. That tells me that there is an attachment there that isn't working for who I really am, that is not part of being in alignment and living in alignment for me. So I'm gonna watch that feeling until it passes with the gratitude that that signal was there to tell me that there was an attachment that was out of alignment. Then once it passes, you go back to spirit and you ask your spirit, that energy of creation that exists inside of you. You ask what feels like peace. Now, now, maybe what feels like peace are some of the actions we already talked about. Oh, I'm going to talk to this person, I'm going to communicate with them, I'm going to see if there was a misunderstanding. Not now from a place of I have to hurry and fix it, and this person has to like me or else, but from a place of, okay, I don't need that person to like me to be whole. But it feels like peace to take these actions, so I'm taking them. Now you are at peace no matter what happens. They could accept it or not. You may not feel inspired to take any action towards that circumstance whatsoever. It doesn't matter. But that emotion was not something that you have to deal with or else. It was a signal that's telling you this is in alignment or this is not. Hey, the pain you feel means that this belief that you have, that your mind is defending right now, is not in alignment. So let it go. You know, we do this a lot. I saw this analogy the other day of somebody holding on to a hot burning coal and begging the universe to take the pain away. Please just take the coal out of my hand. I saw another analogy that used a knife and said, it doesn't really matter what it is, but you're holding on to these things that are hurting you over and over and over again and begging the universe or God or the Tao or whatever you want to call it to take this away. And can't you just take this thing that's hurting me away? And the answer is no. Keep holding on to it. You've decided that's part of you, you're holding on to it. It's up to you to let it go. But we don't because, oh, fear of consequences. Well, if I don't go fight for that relationship in the situation that I just presented, if I don't go fight for that relationship, if I don't go tell them, if I don't fix it, what if I lose them as a friend? What if they never like me again? What if I never see them again? But if it's hurting you, why wouldn't you let it go? You know, we love, love, love to let our brain come up with all the reasons why it has to defend this current identity and these current beliefs, even if they hurt. Because we are so much more comfortable with the pain of what we're used to than the unknown and the consequences of letting go. I'm not going to say there's not consequences of letting go and shifting your identity. But the moment you let go of the obvious things that are hurting you, it's the moment you start to feel better. Yeah, there might be consequences. Yes, there will be healing. Yes, there will be things that come up. You know, there's that old um joke about the man who goes to the doctor and keeps twisting his arm behind his back and goes to his doctor and is like, hey, every time I do this, it hurts. The doctor says, then stop doing that. We like to do this in our life. We've got this identity, and we think that it's who we are, and our mind is so adamant about defending the current identity with the current beliefs and the current things we have to do. Well, I have to work really, really, really, really hard to make a relationship work, or I'm not worthy of love, so I have to work harder, so I'm in a toxic relationship that keeps hurting me. But it's okay because if I don't work at it, I don't deserve a relationship. When it's pretty obvious to all outsiders, this relationship is more hurtful to you than helpful. So let it go. But there were good times, and I love this person, and I don't want to lose them, and I think there's more there, and I think they're a soulmate, and I think they're a twin flame, and I think they're all these other things. But let's be obvious. If it is hurting you, let go. You know, coming back to your heart and what emotions do and the role they play in manifesting, your heart is telling you one thing and one thing only. Are you on the easiest path to creating your happiest life or not? If you're in a situation and it feels like pain as the response to whatever the circumstance is in that situation, it's not in alignment for you. Could be for someone else, and that's fine, but it's not for you. If you're in a situation, even if it doesn't make sense and it feels like peace and it's uplifting, it is for you, even if it's not for anyone else and it doesn't make sense to them. It is for you. You are always being given omens. Everything that you experience, you have created as a reflection of where you are in your path and your level of alignment. So as you create it, if it is in alignment with what your happiest life is, you will feel peace. If it is not in alignment with what your happiest life is, you will feel pain. When you feel pain, it's time to shift attention. That may involve taking some physical action if inspired, but the most important thing is to get back into alignment and yet follow the peace no matter what the consequence is on the outside. Oh, well, let go of that thing that's hurting you that you've been holding on to for so long. Just let go. But then I'll lose the thing. Okay. But it'll stop hurting you. The answers are often so much more obvious than we make them because those beliefs that create our current identity are right here being defended. The fear, the doubt, the questioning, the justifications, the reasons, the excuses are all your mind defending your current belief that is hurting because you don't want to let go of what's hurting you, because you're more scared of the consequences of letting go than the healing that would happen once you do. And don't get me wrong, we all have a fear of the unknown, because that's part of what the brain does, is it's trying to protect us from things that hurt our identity by processing based on the beliefs that we have, which is why it's so important for us not to make decisions based on the mind or the heart. Just observe them. Observe them until you have an inner clarity. For some people, that comes very quickly on the observation. For some, they've got to wait 24 to 72 hours, and that's fine, until you have clarity internally of what feels like peace for you. But your mind is not the place to make the decisions. It's only the computer that is processing what you're experiencing through your body. I'm experiencing warmth of the sun. I'm experiencing the noises behind me as I'm recording this podcast. I'm experiencing the moment where my camera almost fell over and I had to catch it in the middle of recording this podcast. My mind can say a million things, like, oh, you better just start that over. Oh, that's so unprofessional. Oh, what people don't want to see that. Okay, those are just thoughts. Doesn't matter if they're true or not, all they are are thoughts that are defending my current belief that somehow my video has to be more perfect than it is or else, and I can observe that and go, oh, well, that feels like anxiety to do that instead of just be raw and be who I am. So, no, since that feeling is there, I now know that thought's not in alignment, and that's okay, I can let that one go. Oh, I was holding on to this belief that I have to look a certain way on my podcast, or people won't take me seriously. Oh, that's hurting me. Goodbye. Now I want to say this. It is simple, but it is not easy to let go of those things that are hurting you that you believe are a part of who you are, that you believe are part of what your mission or your destiny or your calling is. And I've heard all the excuses in the book for reasons why people don't want to let go. And that's okay. If you're not ready to let go, don't let go. But understand what you're doing. I am choosing to maintain this identity that is not in perfect alignment with me, that hurts me, to have those experiences, and I'm choosing them. Go ahead. But I want to remind you of one truth: you are the creator. There is nothing greater than the power of you. And when you live in alignment, and that is internal, that has nothing to do with what you're holding on to on the outside. When you live in alignment, you will naturally create your happiest life. Because as you follow the peace, you will see every omen and go, oh, this is peace. Thank you, heart, that's for me. Oh, this is pain, thank you, heart, that's not for me. And stop responding to the external. That's when the miracles happen. That's when you get the random phone calls from people you haven't heard from in years that say, Hey, here's this blessing you've been asking for. That's when you meet people that change your life that tell you, oh, look, you're lovable just the way you are. That's when you get to move across the nation without a plan and end up in a beautiful place that you've only dreamed of. It gets handed to you. Because you stopped letting who you believe you're supposed to be get in the way of your spirit guiding you on the easiest path to your happiest life. So pay attention to your feelings and be aware of them and understand they're just a signal that something is in alignment or not. When you start to be aware of the thoughts and the feelings and the role they play without using them to make your decisions, now you're stepping into faith. Now you're stepping into freedom. Now you're stepping into manifesting miracles as your way of life. I'll see you next time.
