Jealousy...A Call to Action!

When one is faced with the perceived emotion of jealousy it can torment one or it can be a wake up call. You choose because we are always at constant choice and we can decide what to do with our emotions. Jealousy can be powerful when we use it to serve our highest and best interest.

So, what do you do when you feel the emotion of jealousy. We are all human and have at some point in our lives experienced it, and for many of us it feels unpleasant and keeps us locked in the place of fear and the feeling of scarcity. Jealousy can turn many of us into monsters in that we react in ways that seem completely out of character for us, and yet for some reason we feel this emotion so strongly that we do things, say things and act in ways that are counter productive.

In observing the emotion of jealousy I invite you to view it in a way that serves you and your higher purpose. Briefly observe the emotion when it comes up and ACCEPT that you are having it. Be OK with experiencing this human emotion, and be still in the moment you feel its intensity. Say to your inner voice, 'I accept the fact that I am feeling jealousy, and I am OK knowing that this feeling will pass in due time. This feeling is a gift and and lesson for me to experience and I do so with an open mind and a open heart so that the next time I experience the feeling of jealousy, I am able to quickly recognize it and just as easily give it to the Universe to shift the energy behind it.'

Then move to a place of embracing the jealousy. You can say to your inner voice, 'I am human, I feel emotions and although at this time this jealousy feels unpleasant, I'm going to EMBRACE it. I know there is a deeper meaning for me to be feeling this jealosy and I recognize that it is out of alignment with my higher purpose, however I'm going to fully feel it and embrace the fact that I am a human being having a human experience'.

Once you have embraced the feeling and have allowed yourself to internalize it you are in a position to RELEASE it. Give the feeling of jealousy to the Universe using the words,'This jealousy serves me in a way that it is a wake up call. I recognize that the thing that another has, the characteristics, qualities or experiences that another has, that I want, is a direct reflection of something that is missing from my life.' And with this set the intention to let the Universe dissipate the intensity of the emotion and at the same time allow the lesson to be learned and the wake up call to be a call to action.

When we experience an emotion like jealousy it is a direct reflection of something that we see that is missing or in misalignment with our selves. When we experience someone with an object, a relationship, a situation or some other type of abundance that we want, yet currently it is not in our vibration or our reality, we react in a personal manner in that we think we want what they have.

Realistically ask yourself what is it that you really want. Is it the thing, the relationship, the situation or the abundance that you are wanting? Ask yourself again and recognize that what you are wanting is the FEELING that you think the stuff or experience will bring you. The truth of the matter is. that it is the feeling that you really want to experience. Most of us are attempting to fill a void. Society dictates to us that if we have stuff (the job, the house, the car, the spouse, the money) then we will be happy.

When you look upon another and they are in a situation that you want and you find yourself jealous about, recognize that it may be a call to action. It may be the Universe delivering to you what you've been asking for. Universal nudges come from what seems like strange and out of the blue places, however when we are ready to move forward in the evolution of our lives the Universe will give to us opportunities, experiences and challenges to move us forward.

Take opportunities like deep feeling of jealousy and use it in a manner that serves you. Ask yourself what the feelings you want to experience are and the Universe will turn your jealosy into a call to action. Instead of staying stuck in the comfort zone use the previously mentioned 3 step process and allow yourself to recognize when the Universe is delivering to you exactly what you have been asking for.

Use the jealousy as a wake up call and in recognizing the feelings that you want to be experiencing ask the Universe for opportunities to be in alignment with your highest and best interest, those that allow you to be in service, to be a divine expression of love and to be connected to others that are of the highest vibration.

Any emotion can be a wake up call and jealousy is a powerful one in consideration of the manifesting process. Be open to the possibility that from this emotion a perfect next step may be being birthed. A new opportunity may present itself or someone may come into your life that can give you the next piece of the puzzle.

With this limitless amount of possibility thank the Universe for the feeling of jealousy and to the person, thing or event that was the trigger for the jealousy. Knowing that you attracted it and now it's up to you, as to what you are going to do with the emotion. Give it a meaning that serves you and one that is a call to action. Then take the next step knowing that you are being guided, you are safe and you are protected.
