The Daily Q'uote for April 15, 2018
"Your goal� is not to balance emotions until there is no emotion, but to experience each emotion in ways which allow those emotions to go from being muddy and confused to a place where each emotion is a jewel-tone�Your emotions are gemlike. And when you have been able to allow the murk and the mud and the impulsivity gradually to evaporate from the heart and essence of each emotion, you are as one who has dug in the ore to mine those gems of self which you have in common with all those of your fellow humans. And as those energies within you are purified, there is less and less distortion [and] more and more balance, and less and less of that component of fear�Every shade of emotion has its root in love, love unconditional, love un-judging, utter and absolute love. The oftener that you are able, at the end of working with emotions, to come back to love and to allow that love to overflow all other considerations, the stronger you shall be in being able to do this work of allowing the self to bloom."

It has been a great weight off the chest, to embrace emotion with full vigour. My old mentality was "emotion no i want to feel peace" and attempt to block it out, especially when in deep meditation! Seeing each found emotion as a gem being dug up of the self was a big catalyst for me. "as those energies within you are purified, there is less and less distortion [and] more and more balance, and less and less of that component of fear�Every shade of emotion has its root in love" The great thing is, that moment of emotion can always be re-experienced any time, and worked on when time suits/ feels right. More often this is done easier it becomes too.
