Inner Peace Wisdom: Understanding Emotions for Adults | A Philosophical Deep Dive
Join me and my incredible friend, coach, and healer, Calli, for a deep dive into the fascinating world of feelings and understanding emotions for adults! In this philosophical conversation, we explore why we often avoid our emotions, what they're truly trying to tell us, and how they connect to our inner peace wisdom and mind-body connection explained. Inspired by the ancient practice of philosophers discussing their ideas and life's profound questions openly in public spaces like the town square for all to hear, we unpack thought-provoking questions like: How do we differentiate between genuine intuition and fear-driven narratives, learning to trust your inner voice? What role do our belief systems and reality play in shaping our emotional landscape and what is reality itself? Is the universe a loving and supportive force, or is it inherently punitive, and how does that influence our emotional experience and ability to feel better about yourself? Why does society often encourage us to numb or disregard our feelings, and what are the consequences of not knowing how to feel better or how to stop numbing yourself? We share personal epiphanies, discuss the concept of feelings as a "body barometer", and challenge the notion that simply naming an emotion is enough. This isn't about prescribing absolute truths, but rather an invitation for deep philosophical discussions to consider different perspectives on understanding your feelings and emotions and navigating the human experience. We even touch on aspects of how to heal trauma wounds through engaging with your emotional self. Let us know your thoughts in the comments and what other philosophical topics you'd like us to explore in the future!
