Do you know what you are feeling at this moment? Do you speak up and share your feelings? When you honor your feelings, you come to your own aid with empowerment. Listening to your feelings gives you information that helps resolve inner struggles and needs. Without knowing your feelings, you neglect a basic need that enables you to be happy and free. Habitually stuffing down feelings leads to a practice of low self esteem. It sends a message that you and your feelings are not important or worthy of being known. Honoring your feelings is healing to your heart.
