How Do I Handle Emotional Energy That Needs Expression?

Sometimes emotional energy feels like an itch that needs to be scratched or reacted to. If I ‘stay with it’, it feels like suppression of that subconscious feeling. The energy either needs to be expressed or repressed. Sometimes it’s too late, and it comes out in automatic mode. How do I handle this? Rupert says: ‘I once saw a beautiful Indian miniature of Krishna. Krishna had been bitten by a snake, and he held the poison in his throat. He didn’t let it go inside, and he didn’t let it go outside. If you feel this emotional reactivity, don’t bury it inside. It’ll poison you on the inside, but don’t express it on the outside. That’ll poison your relationship. You hold it in your throat, which is an image of holding it in awareness.’
