Emotions Part #2

Sadness is an emotion that is at large in the world today.
Thousands of people suffer from sadness on a daily basis.
If sadness is just another emotion, why doesn't out 'Emotion Fog' (See Emotional Energy post) run out as fast? What is depression?

Depression isn't just intense sadness. It is something built up inside someone. It started out as just plan emotion, but maybe an event triggered it and it became worse? What was that event?

Once you find out what even caused the sadness to become depression, you can start to destroy it.
Events are a massive force that shape us, even the smallest event can spur us onward, change our lives, change another person's life, do great things or even bad things to us.

I'll explain some events that may trigger depression:

How to Deal with a Bad Relationship: I have never been in a relationship, so many people wouldn't want to hear my advice on this subject. But I know how I want to be treated in a relationship, and how I would treat my partner, plus, I have had reincarnations before, so I can get the basic idea.

A good relationship can come to an end, either the Universe pulled us apart or we just couldn't do it anymore. Either way, the relationship is over. Dealing with this would seem devastating, depending on how intense of a relationship it was. But meditating in the middle of nature can help greatly here. Not only will you find out that something still loves you, you will also discover that the earth itself wants your affection.

Any breakup should be dealt with gently. Don't put yourself back out there if you aren't ready. Don't go looking for someone who reminds you of the person you broke up with, even if that guy/girl was the nicest person you have ever met. Look for someone completely new if you are ready.
Also, if it gets worse for you, don't feel bad about talking to someone. Get out there and release those negative energies that are inside your heart. Get them out there, find out that you are special and that there is always someone that loves you.


Losing your Best Friend: Personally, I have felt this. There was one friend who we spent time with pretty much every day in the summer, and as often as we could during the school year. Then one week he just didn't call or show up anywhere. He changed schools and stopped being friends with us. It sucked. For months my brother and I didn't have anyone else (aside from our family) to hang out with.
If this has happened to you, don't worry. Like what with happened with me, there is always someone. It was around this time that I grew super close with my grandparents. Not only were they my family, they also became my best friends. It may seem lame, but they were both pretty cool people.
Even if that person isn't your age, it doesn't mean that they can't be a friend of yours (people in different situations should be cautious though).
When you lose a best friend, get back out there and look for another friend. You would be surprised at just who wanted your attention. New friends are just waiting to be discovered. Keep looking.


Losing those who are no longer with us: People die, it's just that simple. It sounds harsh, but in reality, death is a beautiful thing, even if the person suffered first. When we die, we move on to another place. This new place is beautiful and full of great things. It is full of happiness and no one hurts there. Some call it Heaven, but it doesn't need a name. It just simply is beautiful.

Though it is hard losing someone, you need to remember the good times you spent with them. Picture them when they were healthy and happy. Picture you favorite times with them, keep their love alive by remembering them by how they were, not how they ended up. Still love them, honor them, burn a candle on their birthday just to honor them. Anything positive. Cry if you need to, but you need to create positive emotions when you think of them.

In the days leading up to my grandmother's passing, I gave her a quartz crystal from my collection. I didn't know why, I just felt the urge to give it to her. When she passed, I got this crystal back. I kept it on my shelf for a while, until I was able to go to my favorite spot up north. I went there with my Grandma once, and she said it was beautiful. She loved how the water sounded and she just really liked the place.
When I was there, I found a place where I was alone and I said my good-bye to her. I told her that I loved her. I put all the sadness I felt into the crystal and I threw it out into the waves. Since then, I haven't felt any sadness about her death. Every time I think of her, it is a happy memory.


More soon!

P.S. It helps to talk to Mother God. She understands the emotional side of things and is there and will comfort you. If you need to vent, she is there for you.

Namaste!

Emotional Energy

All throughout our lives, we experience emotions. It doesn't matter how much people want to deny it, we all feel them. But what exactly do we do with them?

First off, I want to talk about happiness.

Happiness is an emotion that almost everyone can enjoy. We smile more, we can sleep better, our bodies can function better and most people enjoy being around happy people.
But when we are happy, bad news doesn't seem to have that much of an affect on us.
But why does this 'Happy Spree' end? If we are nearly invincible to bad news, why do we stop being happy?

Picture emotions like a colorful fog. Any color. This fog is floating inside a clear glass jar. There is a small spout at the top of this jar, which empties the fog out into the world. Every time you laugh (or do something else that makes you happy) a little bit of this fog goes out of the spout and is lost in the world. 

When the fog runs out, there is no emotion left.

Being human, we never go without emotions. When our 'emotional fog' runs out, our mind either makes more of the same kind or a new emotion.

Bottling up our emotions are a bad thing. This is why people who hold onto their anger physically change. Some people can gain weight, lose weight, become bitter or even get sick. 

One would think that keeping happiness bottle up would do the opposite as anger, right? Most likely not. Emotions are not meant to be kept hidden. 

Releasing our emotions is very important. I'll give an example.

Releasing Anger makes it easier for people to calm down. Crying, screaming or even hitting things helps us get rid of that. After a good long cry, most humans tend to calm down and relax. 

Screaming does the same thing. It is a massive release of tension.

Don't think so? Why do you think people scream or raise their voices when they are angry?

Also, hitting things can do the same as above, but it has more of a risk. One should never hit something that can feel pain or discomfort. You should never hit things that could injure you either.

But people have punching bags that they take their anger out on. It seems to work too.

If we are to Release Our Emotions, why are we Taught to Keep Them to Ourselves?

Change. People have forgotten our spirituality, and also our control over our emotions. American civilization doesn't recognize anger as something good. Instead of trying to overcome something natural is very hard. Embracing it is easier. 

Embracing Anger? Why Would Anyone Do This?

Don't picture 'Embracing your Anger' as turning to the Dark Side, picture it like you are able to embrace it, control it and master it. The sooner you master it, the sooner you can learn from it.

Why are Emotions so Important?

Emotions make us what we are. Though it is true that we are not the only species that have emotions, we do have the potential to master them. Mastering your emotions can get you another step closer to being more at one with yourself.

Manafestation

Manifesting is the practice of allowing positive energies (or negative) into your incarnation. It can be for good health, healthy relationships, finances, and even weather.
But it also can make one poor, sick and have poor relationships.

How does this work Financially?

Example: One man has five million dollars which he inherited. He puts that money to good use, and never worries about his finances again. He never goes back to being poor.

A poor man who sees the rich man gain this money is jealous. This man has very little income, and is always worried about his finances. He has an incredibly hard job, and is always angry about it. He barely gets enough money to get by, and the little that he has he holds on to. He stays this way for the rest of his life.


What happened here? Well, the rich man never worried about his money going away. He isn't manifesting negative energies into his life, and therefor only positive flows through. He never needs to worry about finances, because he is (subconsciously) trusting in the universe to  provide for him.
     The poor man does not allow his money to go away, and is always worried about his money being gone. He is manifesting being poor, and thus, he will remain poor.

But the manifested money doesn't just 'appear' on your kitchen table. Finding a dollar on the street is just another way the universe is providing for you. Maybe a company paid you more then normal, and the error was never found. Every time you find even a little penny, that is positive financial manifestation.

But saving money doesn't mean you are manifesting negative energies into your financial life, saving is a good thing. But do not feel that spending five bucks here or there will hurt. If you are not negative, then there is nothing to worry about.

If you want to manifest money, think about what it would feel like to find $10 lying on the floor, and no one was around to claim it other then you. You should be incredibly happy about finding it.
Allow that feeling to move all through your body. Then picture what you want to do with the extra money? Maybe buy yourself coffee, or the new video game that was just released. Let those thoughts be in your head, and feel what it would be like to receive that.

Do this exercise once or twice a day (more if you have time) but do not become obsessed with it. Money is a tool to be used.


How Can I Manifest Good Health?

This may seem a little easier then manifesting money. Health is a touchy subject, and many people now days are suffering from some sort of poor health. A family member of mine was diagnose with cancer. She kept a positive attitude about it for awhile, but it never really went away. Now it came back, and she no longer has that much of a positive attitude. The cancer is only getting worse.

I would get colds all the time. Several of them a year. It was a slightly uneasy time in life back then, but after I gained a positive attitude about it, they went away. I don't take medication or anything else. I just used my thoughts to keep me happy. I listened to very positive music, and changed my way of thinking.

If you think about it, people who seem depressed or are struggling with something in their life, they get sick or are always sick. This is because of 2 things.

1. Their thoughts of whatever is bothering them has taken over their mind.
2. When you are not thinking about your spiritual self (nothing religious) sickness comes in and takes hold.

This is like what happens with an open cut. The body is still protected by the outer layer of skin, but the cut attracts infections and other nasty things. If it is not properly cared for, it will get infected.

Your mind is like the skin protecting your body. When negative thoughts are all you think about, a 'cut' appears (not physically) and negative things are allowed to come in.

To change this, think positively. When you are absorbing positive emotions and energies, negative ones can not take place.


Namaste
