Your Wise Adult Has Feelings,Too.
Remember, your Wise Adult (WA) self always knows you are safe, you are whole, loved, and perfect just the way you are.
Your WA is always connected to Higher Consciousness.
You may understand this for yourself as your connection to God, or a Higher Power, or simply as Life itself flowing through you.
Think of this connection as your GPS system which is always available to guide your WA as you sit in the driver’s seat of your life.
Imagine your Wounded Child (WC) is safely secured in the back seat, and your Adaptive Child/Teen (AC) is sitting beside you in the passenger seat…both reassured you are taking care of them, and therefore both are free and excited for the adventure you are taking them on.
When you’ve got this healthy configuration established within you, your WA has healthy and circumstance-appropriate feelings.
These feelings can be uncomfortable to be sure, but they will not kill you, nor make you suffer.
In fact, if you create more inner space for them and allow your WA to shower them with love and compassion, your younger parts will feel safe while you ride the waves of discomfort.
The energy of the emotions will move through you to be processed, discharged, and integrated.
When you are in your WA and plugged into your GPS system of Higher Consciousness, you can feel all of your natural and healthy human feelings in a way that won’t overwhelm you.
Your WA can feel sad because your relationship broke up…without experiencing devastation.
Your WA can feel angry because your coworker got credit for your idea…without experiencing rage.
Your WA can feel disappointed when your loved one is unavailable to accompany you to an event …without experiencing abandonment.
Your WA can feel lonely when you don’t have someone to share something important with…without experiencing isolation.
Your WA can feel confused when the you are receiving mixed messages…without experiencing panic.
Undoubtedly, life is hard in a human body with a human mind.
However, staying aligned with your WA can help you navigate the bumps with more peace and less suffering.*
*If there is physical violence, active addiction of any kind, active infidelity, and/or untreated mental illness, these conditions must be addressed before deeper connection is possible.
