Both the expression and repression of emotion have serious drawbacks. The hand-off never works. On the other hand, when you listen to, honor, and channel your emotions, you don't need to hand them off to anyone or anything. Emotional channeling lets you handle your emotions yourself. When you are able to take care of your own emotions, they will take care of you in ways you may not be able to believe right now.
All emotions are messages from our unconscious aspects to our conscious ones.
Emotions may spring from our bodies, from our deep memories, or from unused and unnoticed aspects of our psyches. They carry with them the absolute truth of the sending aspect. Strong or uncontrollable emotions carry, not just truth, but enormous amounts of energy, which is the essence of this work. Strong energy makes this work stronger. Therefore, strong emotions carry absolutely all the healing energy we need to deal with whatever brought about the strong emotion in the first place.
