How to Surf with the Cocktail of Emotions
Since when does anything exist in only one capacity? Isn’t it possible to do something without lifting our fingers? Couldn’t we save ourselves from the fates we dread? Why do we displace our power into what drains our sustenance and life force energy? Why do we want what we can’t have when we often possess more than enough? If less is more, why aren’t we satisfied with all we are? How do we regulate our emotions when every current serves to knock us off course? At last, this article delineates how to surf with the cocktail of emotions.
Indeed, the sensation of plunging into a deep body of water can make a native feel immobilized. When someone lacks control of the power structures and dynamics at work, it’s enough to propel them to recant their approach. Sink or swim is more than an age-old parable — it encapsulates how we create life in our image. In other words, one of the reasons we suffer concerns the self-imposed snares, walls, and boundaries priming us to forget how to break free. Why isn’t flow our middle name?
Taking the easy route out seems convenient when our home doesn’t resemble the place we remember. Also, we believe we must sacrifice crucial elements of our identity to feel connected to a physical location or person. Nonetheless, we need to be okay with ourselves no matter how much the pain slashes into our flesh. Our wounds and scars transform us into eternal beauty, wholesomeness, and divinity. Matter of factly, our weaknesses are the ultimate strengths.
Answer the Call, Turn the Tides
Moreover, everything is a blessing, an opportunity to turn the tides and shift the currents. An ocean of prosperity washes on our shore. We fear the ramifications of letting the water sweep us off our feet, journeying on an aquatic adventure. What do we fear more: going further than the safe zone or learning to swim for ourselves, i.e., one human for themselves? Why is it significant to understand we embody the power to rise to the occasion and conquer the night?
Perhaps we must stop trying to swim against the volatile, neurotic rage of the current. Instead, we could embrace going with the flow and swimming with the rhythm. How far do we augur to go when we fight and sabotage ourselves? Should our focus concern how to eradicate all counterproductive practices? How can we blot out all the distractions, keeping our eyes on the prize? Don’t we need professional, high-quality training to survive the tides ravaging the shore?
Then again, why not answer the call within? Why fight our urges to thrive and surf above all odds when we can marvel in the vein of our manifested desires? Why not plunge within the ocean of wisdom, knowledge, and profundity we crave? Couldn’t the sheer presence of water heal our souls and nourish our well experiencing the dry spell, the arid desert? From initiation to mastery (Michael’s Teachings), don’t we know our journey will progress? Don’t we learn from every experience, avoiding the same mistakes?
How to Surf with the Cocktail of Emotions: Merge with the Ocean of Soul Lessons
First and foremost, we dip our toes in the water — it feels foreign to us, and we shudder at the thought of delving into the new age of awareness. Then, we enter a state of contrast. We find ourselves trenching deeper into the oceanic cul-de-sac, reminiscent of in this world but not of it. Stuck in a dilemma, we strive to balance who we were and who we are about to become. Plunging into this perceptivity, we reemerge from the swim, wadding in observation mode. Essentially, we learn all the lessons associated with these percepts, the eternal scholar who loves challenge — quiet, knowledgeable.
Furthermore, we integrate into these new sets of experiences. No matter the age, we learn to value sharing our knowledge with the world and embracing what our intimates have to offer us. Embodied, connecting with like-minds is our task. Then, we splash around in comfort, spine-tingling coolness dissipating. We declare, “Look at me, world! I am all about expression. You’re about to see me show you what I know.” Indeed, we get the sense of what lies ahead, peculiar and farsighted.
Of course, the calm of the storm doesn’t last forever. We should’ve known the tides are dice, a fifty-fifty chance of heads or tails. Massive karmic debts rock our boats and strike our seas faster than we can fathom the happenings washing up onshore. We must pay off all the expenses we’ve incurred over our lifetimes. Our soul yearns to find the light at the end of the tunnel, sometimes oblivious to how we are the lighthouse in the stormiest, gloomiest scenery. As such, we must go public with our findings.
How to Surf with the Soul Mastery Instead
After our demonstrative phase, resting on laurels, we realize we are the calm of the storm. Despite mastery, we know the cycle must continue to reincarnate our souls. Infants, babies, young, mature, or old souls, age is a non-factor concerning the lessons we must learn. In other words, we aren’t too young or old to revisit invaluable memories or refine our skillset. Yet, we must congratulate ourselves when we succeed, staring into the ocean, soaking in the vitamin-D abundant sun, peering into the imminent adventure penetrating the horizon. Meanwhile, sitting on the throne is in our best interest.
In the end, we possess the answers concerning how to surf with the cocktail of emotions. Again, we must find the best combination to stay sober, balanced, grounded, and healthy. Valuing our journey and process to becoming is a necessity. If inheriting the earth didn’t concern our missions, we wouldn’t be alive, spared to tell our stories, feel our formidable willpower groove. We can meditate, eat healthier, seek professional health, surround ourselves with positivity, journal our emotions, let go of the past, heal the land, or all the above. Still, we must embrace our humanity to cease repressing our calm and storm.
Being able to completely envelope yourself within your emotions I have found is often constrained by the cut and thrusts of the day, be it family, work or society at large. This is indeed stifling like a mask that you have to keep on preventing you from completely breathing freely. So the occasion to get into touch with my innermost feelings is left to ‘get away’ holiday-type moments when I can explore my desires uninhibited. Too far apart for my self-development journey but a compromise for all the other responsibilities in my life. Thank you however for the push and lighted pathway to reconnect with my inner self.
You’re welcome 💗💜💙
Hello there.
I was just having a read at your wonderful article right here and have to say that I found it to be an absolutely amazing read indeed. What a very interesting, intriguing and educational article.
Personally, I have been recently on a journey of embracing emotions that i have been stifling for over 30 years. It feels so healthy to finally be able to cry at last.
Thanks again for sharing

You’re welcome 🤩🤩🤩
Interesting food for thought about surfing with the cocktail of emotions. We are spiritual beings that think and feel and although our emotions bring richness to our experience, it’s not wise to always let them be in the driver’s seat. Great advice on how to work with emotions and stay grounded and focused in order to live our best lives and become our best selves.
I couldn’t have said it any better. Thank you so much for sharing 🥰🥰🥰
I agree, everything is a blessing. We only have to look at things from that perspective, and things look a lot brighter that way. And there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Took me a bit to figure out that you were talking metaphorically, like when you said dipping our toes in the water. This means, testing the waters, checking things out, becoming knowledgeable. Am I right or way off base?
Yes, you are right. However, this concept can apply in more ways than one. I appreciate you 🤗🤗🤗
I think everyone struggles with a coctail of emotions at some point. There are people who are weak and don’t do very well. I think it is very important that the person is stable and knows his views. Positivity is very important, we leave the past behind and motivation can be what makes us happy.
Well, being weak is not necessarily a vice. Sometimes, admitting to being weak is better than pretending to be strong. We must let go of the anchors on our hearts. Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
