How turbulent are your emotions?
Emotions are the fuel that propels our thoughts, actions and the manifestation of both positive and negative energies into tangible experiences.
You need to have a feeling about something before you can create it. You can create things from positive, harmonious emotions and from negative, disharmonious emotions.
I grew up with parents who tended to focus on the negative and I was well into adulthood before I realised I have a choice and do not need to follow the habits and patterns of my family.
Our Turbulent World
The Earth still has waves of turbulence. They are part of the wave patterns of the Universe left over from the violence of creation. Those of us on a spiritual path know that the waves in the higher realms are smoother and calmer than down on Earth.
As practitioners and Light workers, part of our purpose is to bring the smooth, calm energies down to the Earth plane. We are here to help the evolution of life.
Some of us feel the turbulence more than others. We tend to experience the turbulence in our emotions.
Learning to calm your emotions is a major factor in connecting to and living in tune with your Soul and Higher Self.
Powerful heavy emotions take you out of your naturally peaceful centre. They knock you out of alignment with your truth, so it becomes harder to hear the quiet, peaceful voice of your Soul.
Pause and take breath
Do I have strong feelings to do things?
Am I driven to act on turbulent feelings?
Am I ever calm, centred and balanced?
Can I imagine being calm, centred and balanced?
What would life be like if I was aligned, calm, centred and balanced?
Do I align regularly with my Soul?
How different would life be if I was aligned with my Soul?
Can I act from balanced, harmonious feelings?
Focus Those Emotions
Emotions focus us in time and space. They influence our thinking mind. When our emotions are calm, we are more receptive to the higher guidance of our Soul. We are more likely to act on guidance than from interaction with the harsh world around us. When we act from the higher guidance, life begins to flow more harmoniously.
The inner guidance is subtle, sometimes a whisper that can be easily missed if we are not focused when the whisper is given.
When you miss the whispers, or do not follow them, you can create circumstances that trigger strong, turbulent emotions. You connect with the harsh outer world and you may find life grows harder and more intense. The harmony of your Soul slips away.
Pause and take a breath
Do I listen to the quiet inner voice?
When I hear the inner voice, do I take action?
If I do not act on the inner guidance:
Do I feel resentment?
Do I feel restless?
Do I make excuses for my life not being the way I would like it to be?
Do the negative feelings intensify?
Do I feel ill?
To grow with joy, we need to follow the subtle inner messages.
I have come to realise that the inner voice of my Soul knows what is best for me. Even when my personality says otherwise. When I was in my late teens, many people around me influenced and persuaded me to train to become a lawyer. I had a constant sense of: This doesn’t feel right. I don’t fit into this office, legal environment. I feel uncomfortable and displaced. Should I be doing something else? Why does my stomach flip every morning and why do I dread going to work every day?
I finally listened to the inner messages, acted on the whispers and turned my journey around to study display design and work in retail and sales instead.
Years later, this happened again; I found myself feeling unfulfilled and lacking direction. I allowed myself to become quiet and still and listen to the inner message it told me: Learn Tai Chi.
That was the beginning of my spiritual journey and true communication with my Soul. I have not looked back.
Pause and take a breath
When I feel a negative emotion, I pause.
I breathe. I withdraw my senses.
I pay attention to the message from my Soul.
I listen to the inner whispers.
I ask my Soul for guidance.
What is the message?
What do I need to look at in my life to change?
I let the inner voice lead me to act in new ways.
I follow the guidance I need to create a new smooth flow.
I act on the inner message.
I take action to change the turbulent situation.
Pay Attention to Feelings
As we walk our spiritual path, we learn to pay attention to all the feelings we experience: even the slightest irritation, resentment or negativity. We also look at all the positive feelings. They are all part of our journey back to truth.
At different stages in life, we may have consistently negative or positive feelings. Sometimes they are feelings about a tangible source, such as an event, experience or a person. At other times they can be intangible, simply a nagging feeling, an energy that will not go away.
When this happens, it is vitally important to STOP and ask for a clear message about this area.
This is an alternative to change your habitual struggle with anxious thoughts and feelings: STOP trying to fix your mind. Like waves in an ocean, turbulent thoughts appear different from calm awareness, yet they’re nothing but awareness in motion. When we recognise this, we don’t need to battle anxiety; it naturally dissolves back into the spaciousness it came from. This direct recognition of mind’s natural peace beneath the turbulence is accessible to anyone; you simply have to be willing to look.
Your Prominent Birth Emotion
There are many flows of energy throughout the Universe, down here on Earth and flowing through each of us.
Emotions in their pure form are only energies.
Each of us has a Birth Emotion. A deep feeling we have carried throughout our whole life. We all continue to carry this core feeling until we go through a major spiritual transformation. On our spiritual journey, we can blast through our Birth Emotion.
Your Soul chose the Birth Emotion or Prominent Emotion before you were born. The choice was made to lead you into specific experiences and circumstances.
Pause and take a breath
Think for a moment about your constant, most prominent feeling.
What is my core Birth Emotion?
Optimism?
Happiness?
Pessimism?
Resentment?
Worry?
Jealousy?
Disappointment?
Complacency?
Is my nature:
Easy-going?
Quiet?
Melancholy?
Tense?
Lonely?
Unhappy?
Do I generally feel:
Loving?
Fun-loving?
Superior?
Inferior?
Unworthy?
Undeserving?
Restrained?
It could be another feeling that you constantly live with, and there are many.
If you cannot easily recognise your Birth Emotion, be aware that you have one, become quiet and ask your Soul to show you.
It may be more of an inner note than a powerful feeling.
In addition to your Birth Emotion, you have several other Secondary Emotions. Once you have identified your Birth Emotion, look at your Secondary Emotions.
Together these emotions shape who you are, the choices you make and how you experience life.
Emotions Are Lenses
Your Soul chose your Birth Emotion and Secondary Emotions to give you the perspective you need in life to provide the deepest growth.
Think of your emotions as lenses through which you see the world. We all know that the world is a different place when we are happy or sad, relaxed or stressed. Each different emotion can be like putting on a new shade of glasses. Every feeling you have shows you a different way of looking at the world.
Pause and take a breath
What range of emotions did I choose?
Is the range broad?
Do I experience immense pain to great joy?
Great happiness to deep unhappiness?
Is the range narrow?
Do I experience moderate pain to moderate joy?
Moderate happiness to moderate unhappiness?
We all experience a range of daily emotions. Most of them are fleeting. Because we live in a world and Universe of polarities, every emotion has its opposite. We feel both extremes at some point, sometimes very close together.
What emotions have I experienced today?
Have they moved from one extreme to another?
We have a habitual struggle with anxious thoughts and feelings. The key is to stop trying to fix yourself because of them. Feelings are like waves in an ocean; thoughts and feelings appear different from calm awareness. In truth, they are only awareness in motion. When we recognise this, we don’t need to fight our emotions any more; they can naturally dissolve back into the spaciousness they came from. The turbulence covers our innate inner peace. All we have to do is recognise peace if we are willing to look deep enough.
Holding Onto Emotions
Some of us feel more alive when we experience strong, turbulent emotions. For some, there is sometimes a worry that calming your emotions will make you feel less alive. Are you one of those?
Pause and take a breath
Do I need drama in a relationship to make it feel alive?
If my relationship is calm, does that mean it has lost its passion?
Do I need emotional drama to feel loved?
Do I confuse intensity with love?
Do I create drama to experience high, intense feelings?
What does feeling calm and harmonious mean to me?
Some of us have learned to value harmonious emotions by previously experiencing turbulent ones.
Have I experienced intense pain and sadness?
Have I felt angry and cried for hours?
Have I felt hurt, betrayed or rejected?
“All phenomena are projections of the mind.
Mind is not “a” mind; the mind is empty in essence.
Although empty, everything constantly arises in it.
Through the deepest examination of the mind
May we find its innermost root”
– The Third Karmapa in Wishes of Mahamudra
Choose Peace Regardless of Others
Your emotions are your own. You can choose to be peaceful no matter how other people behave around you.
We all have moments of unhappy emotions. It is important to remember that the emotion is yours. Another person’s behaviour did not cause your unhappiness. If you are angry, it is important not to blame others for your anger.
When we experience intense negative emotions, it can come to a point where it is intolerable and all we want and need is peace.
Whatever the emotion, we must work directly with the feelings of unhappiness, anger, irritation and negativity.
Chances are the other person will not change, no matter how much you want them to.
Pause and take a breath
I will not wait for someone to act in a certain way.
I will not turn my power over to someone else.
Other people do not determine how I feel.
Outside circumstances do not dictate how I feel.
My happiness is not dependent on someone else.
I am ready to make the changes to bring calm into my life.
I am ready to let go of the drama.
I choose to be calm.
I choose to flow harmoniously with life.
I choose peace.
I choose to live as my Soul.
Spiritual growth involves developing the ability to understand yourself and to act in higher ways. Life teaches you about yourself. Do not make yourself wrong when life is turbulent. See it as an opportunity to learn about yourself and grow.
“Knowing others is intelligence;
Knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength:
Mastering yourself is true power.”
-Laozi – TaoTe Ching
Becoming Evolved
To Master your emotions, you have to find the balance point. Ultimately, you must be in complete harmony with your Soul and then your Higher Self.
Masters and highly evolved teachers on Earth still experience emotions. Emotions are part of being human. As we each walk our own path, we evolve and work to recognise and calm our emotions. Gradually, we become experts at being peaceful and harmonious, both deep within and regardless of what is happening around us.
Masters listen only to their Soul and Higher Self and know clarity. They create harmony in everything they do. As you achieve great levels of mastery, it does not mean that you never have a flash of anger or irritation. However, you learn to process your feelings in an instant. Ask for higher guidance in the moment for what you need to pay attention to. Then let it all go.
Great Masters simply witness their feelings and relevant emotions without the turmoil of experiencing them the way we all do before we embark on our spiritual training and path.
Exercise to Calm Your Emotions
Connect with your breath and take slow, deep breaths.
Keep your back straight and slightly engage your core muscles to support it.
Your base centre connects with the Earth.
A cord of light pulls you up to heaven from your crown.
As you breathe, you draw love and light from the Earth and love and light from above.
Imagine you are in a cocoon of light.
Inside your cocoon, you float upward to higher dimensions.
Here the energy is pure, the vibration is high and beautiful energy tones and notes are constantly emitted.
There are spaces here emitting different high vibrations.
Feelings of love, compassion, joy and peace. The most beautiful and brightest tones you can imagine.
These high vibration spaces are available to all beings who travel here.
What positive feeling would most benefit your growth in this moment? What quality do you need? Love, courage, clarity?
Ask gently for this to be given.
You are drawn to the space where this tone is emitted in its purest form.
Sit in this space and absorb the beautiful quality you need.
Allow the broadcast of the quality to resonate with your emotions so that it becomes part of you.
The quality flows through, pouring into every aspect of you and your life.
Imagine yourself in future situations, feeling and demonstrating this quality of feeling as completely yours.
When you are ready, return to the room in your cocoon of light.
Reconnect with your breath and stretch your body.
You can repeat this exercise to revisit the same tone and to connect with others.
Emotions are fleeting energies that, when recognised, can be worked with and transformed. You do not have to live with turbulent emotions. You can live in calm, clear, harmonious energy and create a life of beauty, ease and positive flow.
“Do not think, nor conceive.
Abide in the natural, relaxed state, without contrivance;
With the absence of all projections
Is the innate nature attained.
Such is the Way followed by all the Victors of the three times.”
– Nagarjuna, as cited by Gampopa in The Jewel Ornament of Liberation
