Accept oneself by accepting ones feelings

Learning to accept the way the world is, and for gaining our sense of presence in the world asks for acknowledgment of the marvelous, and also of the terrifying realm of feelings within. The feelings which enthrall, frighten, relax, arouse, awe, embarrass, anger, sadden, cheer, warm and more. Including the ambivalent and contradictory feelings we might have about something or someone.

We know ourselves a little bit better each time when we acknowledge these feelings, even if only to ourselves.
