What is the difference between peace and joy in emotional awakening?
Positive emotions are actually scarier for people to feel than the negative ones for more than like two seconds. You have a quote, peace is not joy. They're completely different animals. Peace comes with the head awakening. Joy comes more in the heart. Joy is the matriarch of a family of emotions and she won't come into a house that her children aren't welcome. So how do you welcome your anger and your fear and your sadness so that you can welcome love? My dad was a great father for the first 10 years, but then alcohol got him, and he was just wildly abusive verbally, and there was no way out. I could say, find out you win, and he would say, see, I told you you were weak. So love is abuse. My needs are less important than other people's needs, and there's just something inherently wrong with me.
Meditation is porn for perfectionists. It was just me trying to be perfect. I was at peace, but I realized that peace was great, but it wasn't the complete picture, and I wanted to actually be fully human. Is there anything that you pick up with me? There's a lot of things that I could say. I could give you 20 examples. So the more I could allow my heart to break, the more my capacity to love grew. But then what happens when someone's actually across from you and loving you just as you are? We all want to be so seen.
Joe Hudson, welcome back. Hey, good to be here.
How does Joe Hudson's personal story illustrate emotional suppression?
Thanks for having me. Of course, man. It's my pleasure. I always love anytime I see you pop up on my feed or my schedule, my calendar, it's a big joy. I loved our last conversation, the ones that followed after, and I'm so excited for this one. People have seen you online with, you know, founding the Art of Accomplishment, know that you are the executive coach for some of the world's biggest leaders, and I'm I think that becomes possible when one's able to effectively lead themself And where I want to start today is a lot of people are familiar with the conversations we've had on the waking up journey. And we talked about a bit how on last time, it's not the same thing as growing up and the emotional work.
And you have a quote, which is, peace is not joy. They're completely different animals. And I want to start there and lay the foundation on how they're two different things, complementary, but not equal. So could you elaborate on that?
I think there's a couple ways to try to describe it. The first one is I think peace comes with the head awakening, right? Which is, I would describe it as understanding like what you are essentially. Understanding, you know, what you are beyond the things that come and go, like emotions or thoughts or identities or, you know, father, son, all that stuff. Like what are you essentially? And it also comes with this thing of being able to see through your thoughts. Like your thoughts come and go and you're just like, oh, I see how that's true, but I also see how it's not true. You don't get, your thoughts don't become personal anymore. The joy comes more in the heart awakening, which is the capacity to welcome and enjoy all of your emotional experiences.
So I have a phrase that's, joy is the matriarch of a family of emotions, and she won't come into a house where her children aren't welcome.
What role does meditation play in emotional bypassing?
And so how do you welcome your anger and your fear and your sadness so that you can welcome the harder things to welcome, which is like ecstasy and joy and excitement and exuberance and love. And we think that those things are really easy to feel, but they're actually, I find people have a very hard time. We'll do these retreats. and we'll have a chance for people to really go into their anger and they'll get angry for like 40, 50 minutes just, and they, you know, maybe hadn't gotten angry for years, but they'll do it. And then we're like, okay, now we're going to do some pleasure. And everyone like five minutes later is like, okay, well, what are we doing next? Because to actually allow that feeling of deep joy, deep pleasure, it's,
The way they say it is that you don't really exist in it anymore.
