Messages about emotions

Whatever aspects and emotions of ourselves that we put 'on ice' because we didn't know at the time how to adequately deal with them are now on thaw mode, melting, melting. And when I say now, I'm meaning specifically now, today, tonight, this week, and tomorrow with the energy of this very powerful (is there any other kind?) Lunar Eclipse!  

What I speak of now many will find most difficult. Some will deny, only to discover at a future time that true freedom involves the full understanding of your heart emotions.

Emotions can come at you hard and fast. You must be prepared. In a flash, negativity can spin you into a tizzy, your center blown to smithereens. Not to worry. Here are some strategies for dealing with every angle of emotions--cerebral and intuitive, from earth to heaven.

You are a relay system of information. Your physical body is a manifestation of the environment in which it resides, and that extends beyond the visible. You are constantly interacting with your environment, from the obvious survival aspects like breathing and eating, to the invisible emotional aspects.

I am heartbroken and devastated because my boyfriend of seven years left me for another woman. I thought we were doing well and we had even talked about marriage and were making some long term plans. Now he’s with someone else and I don’t know what to do. I am so confused because we connected so well and I thought this was meant to be. What happened?

I have been involved in a relationship for ten years. What started out as a loving, supporting partnership has changed in the last two years. My partner is often mean, critical and not supportive. He has not been working for the last two years and I support the household. Recently I was offered a new job that means a geographic move and my partner does not want to go with me. 

Finding yourself crying over the nightly news lately? Feeling the grief and heartache of people you don't even know? Feeling outraged when you hear of someone being abused or bullied or treated disrespectfully (or feeling outraged like never before if these things are happening to you)?

Emotional freedom means learning how to stay centered in a stressful, highly emotionally charged world. Since emotions such as fear, anger, and frustration are energies, you can potentially “catch” them from people without realizing it. If you tend to be an emotional sponge, it’s vital to know how to avoid taking on an individual’s negative emotions or the free-floating kind in crowds.

Any mother intuitively knows that her children need love. Now, a wealth of scientific evidence is shining light on why this is so. The Budapest Early Intervention Project (BEIP), a project that examined the health and development of children in Romanian orphanages, found startling evidence that when infants and children are starved of love and affection, their bodies do not grow as they should.

Perhaps you have experienced the loss of someone close to you or even part of your body. Following the loss, you probably allowed yourself the accepted brief respite and then expected your being to bounce back to “normal” full speed ahead. Your current loss is deeper than has been true in the past. In truth, you are experiencing loss on so many levels that bereavement is almost a constant, but unacknowledged companion.

This has been an extremely chaotic week for many of you. Perhaps your life felt as if it was torn apart. You hoped this transition would be easy. Such is not reality for a number of reasons – you are transitioning physically, spiritually and emotionally, while maintaining your daily life in a third dimensional world.

In my book “Emotional Freedom,” I emphasize the importance of learning how to stay centered in a stressful, highly emotionally charged world. Since research has shown that emotions can be contagious, you can potentially “catch” fear, anger, or joy from people without realizing it. If you tend to be an emotional sponge, it’s vital to know how to avoid taking on an individual’s negative emotions or the free-floating kind in crowds.

I recently told a few friends about the exciting new scientific research that shows just how contagious smiling can be. They decided to test it out by just randomly smiling at people. One of my friends told me about her shopping trip to ASDA and how, after a few curious looks, some people smiled back. It even led to a conversation with an elderly gentlemen and also a pleasant exchange at the till point.

From where we are looking, it looks like you are having a lot of fun. You are enjoying these energies, more importantly, letting these energies go the closer and closer you get to 2012. To the end of 2012 the negative energies will release so quickly. You will be moving into a new consciousness, a consciousness that even in this moment it will be unbelievable from what will be like.

Our relationship with life is based on feeling and emotions, as we enjoy and find peace within situations that make us 'feel' good and quickly try to change those that make us feel bad. We think we have successfully created what we want when we 'feel good' about it but this is a short term view as we try to replicate the feeling over and over again.
