Emotions are a measure of how much I sense my life, right now.
Allowing your body, to express emotions it is a ability which take you to discover the richness of your personal experience. The richness of your life lays into how you are allowing emotions, moment to moment.
Take the observer position. Take a step back and look at life around you are observe. What is out there?
- Life is abundant.
- In your environment, every hour, around you, something new is happening.
- Every day is a new day, a new opportunity to experience something new.
- Get in contact with your environment take some risk, and see what happens.
What are the Core emotions?
Maybe you allow yourself to experience all your emotions. Maybe the happiness, sadness, anger and excitement are all a measure of how you experience life. Decide for yourself what emotions do you allow yourself to experience and what emotions you avoid experiencing.
The goal of your emotional training is to develop new skills so when you get in contact with your emotions, you could welcome them and allow your body to express them. This is not a logical process and it does not need to be, it is just part of your emotional life.
What is a Experience?
A experience is a new beginning, it is the unknown of what will it happen, and you don't know it yet. It is the excitement, the surprise of what is about to happen.
What is a Past Life Event?
It is 'a memory' of a past experience. It is not the experience itself. It is what your body remembers what the experience was.
Today you might have points of reference of what you choose to remember about a past experience. This point of reference might be how you perceive a part of your life. You might use that point of reference to create what you think is real, and you compare, judge, evaluate, expect by using that point of reference.
Let's take one example here: You go today and have a conversation with someone you know. In the richness of that conversation if you would video tape the conversation the recording shows: gestures, touches, words, sounds, background, foreground, colors, movement. And you feel many feelings.
How much of all that would you choose to remember of that experience? What about 20 years later?
That's right. You remember 'a memory' of that experience.
How much do I live in the Now?
(do you live in the past? do you live in the future?)
Do you hear yourself talking more about what happen rather then experience what is happening right now? or ... Do you find yourself talking more about what will happen rather then experience what is happening right now?
Take a moment and become a observer from time to time. Become aware of what patterns do you notice of yourself. Let's choose one example ...
Say I start a new job .... do I compare the new job to previous one. Do I make decisions based on things I assume. Do I have a need to ask and validate what I think. Do I ask to gather information and take it in. Do I have a set of beliefs sculpted in stone? Do you have déjà vu's within this new environment?
Do I find myself thinking like:
- He is the boss and as a boss he should be such and such ...
- I deserve the current position but I am only asking for a promotion when I will fulfill a) b) c) ....
- I need specific conditions to be met so I can share my ideas with my boss
- I am not tall enough to be the first one ...
- I am not funny enough to speak in front of others ....
- I am more of a introvert then a extrovert ...
- I am making enough money right now and I will not ask for more ...
- This is my space, and I should stay within this boundaries ...
- etc, etc, etc ....
Emotions from the past, Feelings in the present.
Become curios of what is your past and learn how you live your present.
Our body remembers what happen in the past.
From a emotion or a sensation a person can recall details from a past event. These details could be: who was there, what voices were speaking, what things are around, what colors of clothing, what feelings are experienced. Some of these emotions could reveal happiness, fear, sadness, anger. One emotion could cover other emotion.These emotions are coming up in many ways. People, places, and things could be buttons that once pushed the emotion will become present, and could take all the space, and will to let you know of its existence.
Acknowledge your emotion with kindness, express it if it is possible let-go. You could do more then one time, a person learns this process.
How is a Emotion Released?
Think of a emotion as energy, and during a experience your body builds up energy by experiencing these emotions. Depending on your learning your body learns a pattern(s) to express or suppress emotions.
One way or another, the emotion will find a way out and release the energy accumulated, it is only a matter of time when.
For example:
- When you are scared ... scream it out. (your body shows how scared you were)
- When you are sad .... cry it out. (tell the story to a friend and cry it out)
- When you are angry .... voice it out, move it out. (express it with your body)
Where are the Emotions Stored?
The body stores these emotions in areas where you feel more weight, pressure, and temperature variations. The body uses active energy to keep them alive.
You can look at a person's body and get a sense of where the weight is: is he carry on his back, is it on his right foot, is she clenching her jaw, is he holding protecting his chest. The emotions will live within the body until the day I choose to acknowledge it, and with kindness deal with it.
What can I do when I Choose to Deal with My Emotion?
Accept it and stop 'doing something else'. Acknowledge the part responsible for that emotion as is a part of you. (Just like you accept you name, or the fact you are human). This is the first step.
When will I know I accept my emotion?
- You become aware of 'what is it's purpose'
- You find out 'where is it coming from'
- You remember 'when was the first time you experience it'
- You know 'how does it want to be expressed'
- You know 'when does it want to be expressed and with whom'
