This morning, you are either Happy, Angry, Depressed or Anxious about something. But never mind. Happiness, Anger, Depression, and Anxiety are identified as the most prevalent emotions in our culture. Happiness about life. Anger about the present. Depression about the past and Anxiety about the future. A tremendous amount of suffering is experienced with these emotions but the bright side is that, emotions are impermanent by their very nature. They move and continuously change from one emotion to another. You have never had an emotion that did not change. You have never experienced an emotion that never ended. You have never felt an emotion that was permanent.
All emotions are energy. Energy moves, energy has a vibrational frequency, and energy forms and transforms. Emotions take form, are changing, and impermanent. You continually change from one emotion to another. This moment you may be sad, then the next moment you may be happy. This moment you may be compassionate, then later you may be unkind. This moment you may be angry and another moment you may be loving. This moment you may be blissful and then later anxious. This motion of emotions go on and on. Emotions are temporary forms, comprised of energy that is in constant flux. Energy takes form and emotions are forms. Anything that takes form by its very nature will transform and dissolve.
Emotions have voltage and every cell in your body has the vibration of life whether you are aware of it or not. Every cell is comprised of energy and your potential of fully resonating with life force. Every cell in your body is affected by the emotional vibrational frequency that you manifest. Emotions resonate with the vibrational frequency that they generate. The higher the vibrational frequency, then the higher the expansion, and the greater the Life Force in your cells. The lower the vibrational frequency, then the greater the contraction, and the lesser of Life Force in your cells. For example, emotions from Enlightenment, Joy, Happiness, will have higher vibrational frequency and greater expansion of energy and Life Force in your cells than the vibrational frequency of Anger which falls to contraction.
However, repressing what you feel, or avoiding what you feel, even in the benevolent disguise of “self-control” does not make those feelings go away. You only bury the feelings, at least temporarily. The emotional energy remains lodged in the bio-fields of the body creating tension, illness, or manifesting at inappropriate times. This energy is what manifests in our bodies in the form of physical sensations that either give us blissful or anxious moments.
Emotional energy manifests in the body as physical sensations, but are catalyzed from the source origination of the mind. Your mind is the biggest catalyst for the presentation of emotions. Your mind can be a real trouble maker when it comes to emotions. Most of our suffering originates out of the mind. Mind regulates energy and mind is often in turmoil. Your emotional memories are mind based and are stored in your body. Your behaviors, active and reactive, originate from your mind. Your repressive and avoidant behaviors all originate from your mind. Everything is mind-wrought. Desires, mental imaginations, conditioned patterns of responding, originate in the mind, and you become identified with them.
Your mind generates thoughts, narratives, interpretations, attachments, desires, longing, but these are all projections of the past, present, and future. And for the majority of people, the mind moves from past to future, rarely does it stay present. Your thoughts begin it. Your emotions amplifies it, and your action increases its momentum.
That's why you have to be the watcher, watching your mind. When you learn to transition from thinking into awareness, suddenly you will realize your thinking is causing you certain problems and then begin to deliberately construct the sort of mental images and thought patterns that will increase the life force and energy in your cells.
How exactly do we begin to construct those thought patterns?
