Honoring Negative Emotions and Returning to Your Pure Positive Energy - Teachings from Abraham Hicks
According to Abraham Hicks, each of us is inherently a being of pure positive energy. We are extensions of Source, vibrating at our core with love, joy, and abundance. However, as we navigate life, we sometimes encounter negative emotions like sadness, frustration, or fear. These emotions are not signs of failure or disconnection but valuable indicators, showing us the contrast that helps us define and refine our desires.
The key to navigating these emotions is to process and honor them without losing sight of the pure positive energy that is your essence. Here’s how to align with this truth while working through sadness or negativity:
Acknowledge and Allow the Emotion
Resisting or suppressing negative emotions only amplifies them. Abraham Hicks teaches that emotions are your guidance system. When you feel sadness, it’s a signal that you’re perceiving something in a way that’s out of alignment with your true self.
Instead of fighting sadness, give yourself permission to feel it. Sit with it without judgment, knowing it’s part of the contrast that helps you grow. Say to yourself, “This is how I feel right now, and it’s okay.” By allowing the emotion to flow through you, you prevent it from becoming stuck energy in your vibration.
Seek the Thought That Feels Slightly Better
While honoring your sadness, you don’t need to leap to joy immediately. Abraham Hicks emphasizes the importance of finding the next best feeling thought.
Ask yourself:
“What is this sadness trying to show me?”
“Is there any relief I can find in this moment?”
“What small thing can I appreciate right now?”
You’re not forcing yourself to be positive; you’re gently guiding yourself up the emotional scale. Even small shifts in perspective can create momentum toward feeling better.
Reframe Contrast as a Gift
Negative emotions often arise when we experience something unwanted. Abraham Hicks calls this “contrast,” and it’s essential for expanding your desires and creating new experiences.
For example, if you feel sadness due to a loss or unmet expectation, recognize that this experience is helping you clarify what you truly want. It might inspire you to seek deeper connection, self-love, or appreciation for the present moment. Reframing the contrast as a gift allows you to honor its purpose without letting it consume you.
Use Focus to Realign with Source
Once you’ve acknowledged and processed the emotion, gently pivot your focus back to the pure positive energy within you. This doesn’t mean ignoring reality but choosing to align with the version of yourself that feels good.
Practices to realign:
Meditation: Quiet your mind and reconnect with your natural state of well-being.
Gratitude: Write down or think about things you appreciate, even if they’re small.
Visualization: Imagine yourself thriving, feeling the joy and relief as if it’s already yours.
By focusing on things that uplift you, you tune back into the frequency of Source energy!
Trust Your Inner Being
Abraham Hicks reminds us that your Inner Being is always focused on your well-being. When you feel negative emotions, it’s simply a sign of temporary misalignment. Trust that your natural state is one of joy, and you will always return to it.
You don’t have to rush or force the process. Be kind to yourself, knowing that sadness is just a momentary experience—not who you are. You are always, at your core, pure positive energy.
Celebrate the Journey of Contrast and Alignment
Life is a journey of contrast, alignment, and growth. Negative emotions are part of that journey, helping you fine-tune your desires and deepen your connection to Source. Each time you process sadness and return to your natural state, you become more deliberate in your vibration and powerful in your creations!
By honoring your emotions and focusing on your connection to Source, you transform sadness into a stepping stone back to joy. Remember, you are always the pure positive energy you came here to be. Trust the process, embrace the contrast, and know that your alignment is inevitable.
You’ve got this!
