Dear Feel Love Now Community,
The feeling of negativity can feel overwhelming, but it’s important to remember that emotions are just energy, they can shift and transform.
In this short talk, Swami Nityananda explore how to release the grip of inner criticism or negativity by allowing our emotions to move through us. Instead of holding onto judgment, we can choose to embrace the flow of our feelings and create space for positivity and healing.
Let this message remind you that you have the power to change your emotional state, one step at a time.

Here’s one of our favorite quotes from the video:
“He [Swami Shankarananda] talks in this teaching about how our attention is so powerful and creative that if I use my energy of trust to focus on what is negative, that’s what will come to me. I will seem to get proof of the power of negativity. ”He says I can also choose at any moment to take that energy of trust and direct it towards positivity and that will give me confirmation of positivity. He talks about, take any negative trust and transform it into positive trust. ”Anywhere that you’ve been focusing on negativity—the same energy—just direct it towards positivity.”
