The 4 Main Emotions Most of Us Weren't Taught to Process

Emotions are often seen as the sprouts that weave the energy into our human experience. I like to say emotional awareness is the new intelligence, because these wise little messengers are like little receptors that can keep you in alignment with your path.

Sometimes they can appear as reactions and responses, but the most important part of e-motion (energy in motion) is that they always carry a potent messenger that can guide you towards a deeper understanding and inner growth!

At a spiritual level, emotions are regarded as little mirrors reflecting your inner state being. Each emotion carries its own little unique program and message. In other words, there are lessons to be learned right underneath your emotions!

Unfortunately, most of us were not taught how to process these emotions in our early years. Then once we are in our teenage years we then experience up to 600 new emotions, with no awareness on how to regulate or process them.

At this point, most people end up looping around the 5 main emotions and think “all of their feelings” fall into those 5 categories. Instead of knowing that we are experiencing rejection or betrayal, we just identify it as anger and then we get stuck there.

But that can change! 

I take all my aspiring Spiritual Life Coach students through an emotional vocabulary exercise that helps them expand their emotional vocabulary to around 60 emotions.

This rapidly expands their emotional awareness and they are then able to properly identify what they are feeling. We have a free training that will show you exactly how we do this here.

 

 

Here are 4 examples of some common emotions and the deeper information that lies underneath them:

 

  1. Depression – This may be hidden anger that you haven’t allowed yourself to feel and process.
  2. Anxiety – Feeling anxious could be a spiritual block that creates doubt and makes it hard to trust in your path.
  3. Worry – Your worry may be masked as a hidden obsession of focusing on what could go wrong.
  4. Shame – Feeling ashamed may reveal a hidden pattern that constantly repeats “I’m bad”
 

 

How can you know for sure the emotion you are actually feeling? Simply tune in to yourself! It doesn’t matter how old or young you are, there are so many people now eagerly learning what they are feeling and how to process them. 

I encourage you to seek deeper information through self-reflection, because awareness is your master key to your higher consciousness and decoding the lessons in your emotions.

 

Here are some questions you could ask yourself as you reflect on your emotions:

 

  1. What am I feeling (anxious/ depressed/ worried/ ashamed?)
  2. What just happened that triggered this feeling? (describe the situation)
  3. Where do i feel this in my body?
  4. What do I wish I felt instead?

     

Emotions serve as a gateway to your deepest connection with the divine and your spiritual higher self. By honoring your emotions and allowing them to flow, you open yourself up to a deeper connection with the Universe.

Another great thing to do when reflecting on these emotions is to meditate. If you need some support, check out our free library of 33 spiritual meditations here. These special meditation journeys are carefully curated to take you within and explore your inner world.
 

Emotional awareness is the new intelligence!
