What are you trying to teach me? How can I help you?

Acceptance, integrity and unconditional love are roommates.
Emotional wavelengths that are uncomfortable, and often undesirable, are typically pushed away, disowned, repressed and suppressed in those who have yet to learn to skillfully navigate their own emotional worlds.
One of the keys to the emotional body is acceptance.
When we fight against undesirable states, we actually feed them with more energy.
We feed them with the energy of rejection, among others, and rejection is the polarity of attachment.
Both keep us attached.
Yet as we cultivate the inner witness that realises the folly of abandoning our emotions, cursing them and hating their presence, we come closer with the spaciousness that allows full acceptance of our feelings.
Many misinterpret acceptance as a way of giving up, giving in or choosing to be passive in order to elevate the states they experience.
This is a misperception.
Acceptance is an embrace of the wholeness of ourselves, and a voice that says, "I honour you, thank you for showing up."
Emotions are communicators of experience, arising to teach us their lessons as intrinsic parts of our multidimensionality.
Multidimensional in the sense that we have a physical vessel, a mental world, an emotional world, and so on.
They literally represent different overlapping bodies within us.
Generally we wouldn't bother our hand, if we accidentally hurt one of our fingers.
In fact, it seems silly.
Yet this is the space in which many find themselves, as they vehemently rally against parts of their own emotional body trying to communicate misalignments so that they can be directed back into harmony.
The next time an emotional charge strikes you deeply, I invite you to pause, sit with it, and ask, "What are you trying to teach me?" with earnestness, and perhaps, "How can I help you?"
And, if harmony occurs, watch your magic unfold.
