The Gary Zukav Podcast

Freeing Yourself of Painful Emotional Sensations


Listen Later

In today’s minisode, Gary Zukav addresses a powerful listener question about self-judgment and strong emotions. Are you struggling with anger, jealousy, or other intense feelings? Gary shares why emotions - both painful and joyful - are messengers from your soul and vital tools for your spiritual growth.

You can’t control the emotions that arise, but you can choose how you respond to them. By acting consciously and choosing love over fear, you create authentic power and align your personality with your soul.

This episode reminds us that the path to spiritual transformation lies in the choices we make - especially when life feels painful.


What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

  • (00:41): Understanding emotions as messengers from your soul.
  • (01:30): Why judging yourself for strong feelings holds you back.
  • (02:15): The power of choice: react or respond to your emotions.
  • (02:59): How to create authentic power through conscious action.
  • (04:05): A soul experiment: embracing your pain and choosing love.


    Embrace the Soul Step Challenge: When a painful emotion arises, pause. Feel the physical sensations fully - whether it’s anger, jealousy, or resentment - and consciously choose not to react from fear. Instead, act from a loving part of your personality, such as patience or gratitude. This is where true growth begins.


    Your emotions are messages from your soul. Learn How to Tune In and Listen Here.
