One of the teachings of Esther Hicks and the group of nonphysical entities known as Abraham is that we feel good when we are aligned with Source energy (aka God), and we feel uncomfortable when we drift out of alignment.
In my experience, this has proven true time and time again.
The reason is simple: our core energy is Source energy. It feels true, familiar, and natural to us. Emotions in this vibrational range include contentment, joy, excitement, love, appreciation, and peace.
When we drift away from that alignment, we experience emotions such as anger, guilt, resentment, disappointment, shame, and fear. These emotions don’t mean something is wrong with us. They simply indicate that we’ve moved away from the perspective of Source.
The emotions we feel in our bodies are the GPS we were born with.
Uncomfortable emotions are not a life sentence, nor are they an indictment of our character. They are simply signals. If we want to feel better, we can begin moving back toward alignment.
It’s a bit like steering a car. When we drift toward oncoming traffic, we don’t condemn ourselves—we simply adjust the wheel and return to our lane. In the same way, we steer our emotional experience through the thoughts we choose to think.
Many of us get tangled up in uncomfortable emotions because we believe they mean we’ve done something wrong or that we aren’t enough. We end up judging ourselves for feeling bad.
I hear clients say things like:
“Why do I feel this way? What’s wrong with me?”
“I want to feel good, and I just feel awful!”
I assure them that nothing has gone wrong. An indicator light simply came on to show the direction they’re traveling. If they don’t like where they’re headed, they can begin steering in a new direction by choosing thoughts that feel a little better.
Uncomfortable emotions are not a destination where we’re meant to set up camp. They’re simply information.
If we repeatedly find ourselves in emotions that feel heavy or painful, it’s helpful to identify the thoughts that keep leading us there. Then we can begin shifting those thoughts toward ones that are more aligned with the perspective of Source.
This is exactly what emotions are meant to do: show us where we are and guide us back toward alignment with who we truly are.
Of course, we’re not meant to see everything from this highest perspective 100 percent of the time. If we were, we wouldn’t need the GPS!
Part of the human experience is getting off track and exploring the full range of emotions. Then the adventure becomes finding our way back.
And finding our way back is one of the greatest pleasures available to us.
Experiencing separation—feeling alone, abandoned, betrayed, misunderstood, or unseen—and then returning to a sense of Oneness can feel absolutely liberating. Moving from separation to connection, from isolation to belonging, from feeling unseen to feeling cherished, is a profound experience.
In many ways, getting lost and finding our way home is part of why we came here.
When this shift happens gradually, it may feel like comfort, a warm embrace, or a sense of coming home. When it happens suddenly, it can feel like fireworks going off inside you, or a beach ball bursting through the surface after being held underwater.
So the next time you experience an uncomfortable emotion, remember this:
Your built-in GPS is working.
Your emotions are providing valuable information.
And from there, you get to choose the thoughts that will steer you toward where you want to go next.
Grow on:
Where in your life do you feel most aligned, energized, and connected right now?
What situation, relationship, or circumstance consistently pulls you away from that feeling?
What thoughts are you repeatedly thinking that may be leading you away from how you want to feel?
If your emotions are acting as a GPS, where might they be guiding you to make a course correction?
