Many of us have the impression that feelings are bad. Even feel-good feelings can make some people feel uncomfortable and they turn to compulsive eating. So what do many of us doing? We are eating to avoid dealing with our emotions. However uncomfortable or amazing our emotions feel they are there for us as our guidance system. They support us in creating choices for our life and turning in the opposite direction when the emotions don't feel good.

My Emotional Rebirth and No more compulsive eating:
2 months ago I found myself face to face with one of the most devastating moments in my lifetime. I will tell about this at a later time as I am still working through the emotions and want to come out with the complete story once I have released all my buried, stuffed and ignored emotions.

I felt my whole world crumble in but a moment and come to a complete STOP! Everything I once believed was no longer true, I felt lost as if I was Dorthy from "The Wizard of Oz" and I had just survived a tornado and now I had to find my way back home.

Every part of my life I was refusing to look at, because it was too emotionally painful or I couldn't believe I was being so unkind to those I loved including myself, came to face me night and day, 24/7 for over 6 weeks. Now, I have been through physical pain of birthing 2 children at home, broken my arm completely in half and witness my youngest son leave his body and come back again but the pain of facing myself and what I had created was just about unbearable.

For six weeks I could hardly eat, sleep or survive. I wanted to die or at least drug myself with something to "kill" the pain deep within my heart, stomach and spirit that had come up like an erupting volcano to be healed.....

In one moment I had been broken open, not only had I been given a second chance to "start fresh", but all the pain I was experiencing gave me the opportunity to look within myself and see I could grow and expand through this amazing yet extreme emotionally painful experience. All the sudden as if the universe had opened up the gates of angels, people started showing up in my life to support me, they all said and did the "right" think as if they were the light in my darkness.

Like Dorthy, I knew this was a road I had to travel down and do the work myself, but I was given love and light from new and familiar friends and family to support me and hold my hand all along the way.

Now as I renew and reinvent myself in my highest form, I continue to learn more and more. The one lesson I have come to realize is beyond trust, is faith and beyond faith in knowing. There is knowing within us to grow and expand beyond any answers we seek from outside ourselves.

Do we have to experience pain in order to grow? No but we do anyways because we disconnect and stop listening. When we continue to ignore all the signs, our emotions, and our guidance, along the way or attempt to hide from ourselves, our emotions, and our expansion, we are eventually found, broken open and given the opportunity to reinvent ourselves and our path, if we choose.

I know nature provides the perfect blend of foods for me, for you. Food is to strengthen and nourish our body, when we are truly hungry, and even connect us to abundance within nature. Emotions, I know, are nourishment and strength for our spirit, they are there to guide me, guide you. They offer us support, guidance and insight into our spiritual desires, hopes and dreams.

Our emotional guidance system is similar to the "Hot and Cold" game I use to play as a kid. The further you are from what you are intuitively called forth to the "colder" your guidance system tells you in the form of uncomfortable "bad" feelings. The closer you are the more amazing you feel and you can almost feel an effortless pull in the feel-good "blissful" direction.

Next time you experience something that feels "bad" STOP! Stop doing anything and everything, including compulsive eating, let go and go within, ask yourself, "What am I feeling and why do I feel this way?" Now the key here is to listen shhhhhh. You may get the answer in many forms, just pay attention you will know when you have found the answer, the understanding and the knowing.

Once you get your knowing listen and turn in the direction you are called forth to. Remember you are not alone and allow the angels in whatever form they come, to love you and lead to into the light.

Eat when your hungry, sleep when your tired and feel your emotions, your health, happiness and wellness depend on it!
