Explore Your Emotions

 

What if you could read people like a book?

How would your life be different if instead of confusing emotions you had clarity and energy?

Does developing an instant connection with people you've just met sound useful?

How about turning any upset into productive energy?

"I didn't realize how much attention was focused on my pain. I now have all this attention to use for other things like studying or meditating without modifying my behavior to keep my pain in check.I'm still baffled about the absence of my pain and how much my pain was holding me back. i have more energy because i'm not focusing on my pain. freeing up space is always a plus. there are so many things that I can now pursue that it's incredible. Since my back pain is gone and my muscle tension getting better, I finally have the energy to literally "run around". I'm playing with my students during P.E., which is an activity that I have really missed as well as playing on the playground.


It's been awhile since I could just run without the vibrations
just tearing me to pieces. I feel good, but i know that i can feel even better if i keep
working and trying new things.

Emotions are perhaps the most talked about and least understood aspect of human experience.  This is due to emotions being more than just thoughts; they are chemical, hormonal, and serve as the communication system between mind, body, and immune system.

A relatively new branch of medical science known as psychoneuroimmunology is beginning to decipher the exact bio-chemical component of emotion which was first discovered by Dr. Candace Pert. She refers to these chemicals (called peptides) as the "Molecules of Emotion".

These breakthroughs however simply reveal what we have always known; that emotions are extraordinarily powerful influences in our lives. They come from deep within us both psychologically and physiologically. This physiological component revealed by modern research, again shows what we have always felt; that the primary areas in the body which generate peptides are deep within the limbic center of the brain (also referred to as the mammalian brain) and the abdomen and the guts (hence the “gut” response).

But what are they and what is their purpose?

Emotions reflect the most basic and instinctual drives within the human psyche and are present in almost everyone regardless of age, race, ethnicity, social conditioning etc. While those things are powerful influences to be sure, they merely cover or shape the drives which are inherent to our biology.

Those drives are:

Transcendence

Insight

Creativity

Social Connection

Power

Procreation

Survival

 

These basic drives give rise to every emotional response we have.

Each drive has its own need and emotion associated with it which can be either positive or negative.

 

It is by learning to navigate these drives by first understanding them and then learning to consciously create a life which works to have your needs met that emotional friction can be turned into tremendous amounts of emotional energy and enthusiasm for your goals and life in general.

This can be accomplished by clearing out the residual effects of yesterdays damage and translative tension (body) and by using the techniques we teach to first enter the appropriate brain state and then consciously USE that state with powerful self-hypnotic techniques for self-conditioning (mind). When combined, the elusive goal of emotional state control and understanding can be yours.
