Feelings Aren’t Flaws - Understanding Emotions as a Built-In Compass

Despite the wide range of religions, spiritual paths, and belief systems, there’s a truth many of us can agree on: We are both physical beings—flesh and blood—and spiritual, boundless, eternal in nature. This duality raises a powerful question: How do we navigate life as both etheric and earthly beings?

The answer lies in what you might call a “middle man” between the two worlds: the heart. Often described as our “second brain”, the heart plays a central role in connecting our physical experience with our non-physical essence. It's also the gateway to what I call the emotional body.

Far from being a design flaw, our emotions are an essential feature of being human. The emotional body serves as a moment-to-moment guidance system—always signaling the next step on our unique path.

In this episode, we’ll explore how even the most uncomfortable emotions—like anger, fear, or sadness—are designed to help our "two beings" stay aligned, resulting in a life full of flow and meaning.
