If
we were to make the farthest most end of the positive spectrum of emotions JOY
the polar opposite at the negative end of the spectrum would be fear.
From
these emotions stem hurt, frustration, aggravation, annoyance, irritation, hate,
disgust, guilt, self-righteousness, anxiety, worry, terror, panic, nervousness,
insecurity, grief, sadness, loneliness, shame, hopelessness, bitterness,
despair, pity, self-pity, and apathy.
Emotions
= Energy in Motion. Negative
emotions are not bad emotions. Negative
emotions are energies that become destructive when turned inward where they
break down the body, unbalance brain chemistry, drive destructive behavior.
People
understand this. Which is why most
people are taught destructive emotions are bad emotions and they shouldn’t
feel them. Which is very confusing
because people do feel them.
Because people are taught destructive emotions are bad and
are not taught what to do with them when they feel them people learn to suppress
their ‘bad’ emotions, which pushes these emotions into the subconscious;
that is to a level where they can be consciously ignored or denied even though
they are still present in the energy fields of the body.
Emotions
are how your body talks to you. We
use the term body as a kind of shorthand for the subconscious self or, if you
prefer, the emotional levels of the human self.
When you ignore your body’s feelings, it thinks you don’t care about
it. When your body thinks you
don’t care about it your body gets depressed. When your body gets depressed
its brain chemicals change which affects your health, your hormones, your moods,
how you sleep, what you eat, how you process what you eat, what you do, what you
feel and what you don’t feel and what and how you think.
.
When
you use medicine to try to get your brain chemicals back to normal without
paying attention to the feelings that are depressing your body, your body gets
discouraged and begins to give up and shut down.
It’s
important to pay attention to your body’s feelings, which is why it is
important to pay attention to your emotions.
Every emotion is a message from your body to YOU.
Listeners
guided into light level of self-hypnosis and Pamela talks to the Conscious and
Subconscious Self about emotions:
Pain
is the body saying: “Ouch!
I hurt!” Pain
is your body is telling you to find out what’s wrong so you will do what your
body needs you to do to help it fix itself.
Fear
is the body saying: “Danger!
Beware!” Your body is warning
you it perceives a threat and it wants to know from you what to do about that
threat.
Anger
is the body saying: “Attack!”
Your body is informing you it feels a need to protect itself and you
and it is asking you for permission to do that.
Pain,
fear and anger are powerful weapons your body uses for protecting itself and
you. That’s good. You need
your body. Your body needs to
protect itself. There are elements
in the world that can harm your body and your body needs you to listen to it and
help it protect itself from harm.
But
sometimes your body makes mistakes. You
can’t blame it. It doesn’t
always know the best thing to do, you do. That’s
why your body depends on you to tell it what to do.
When
someone threatens to hurt you stand up straight and look that person in the eye.
Say, “If you try to hurt me I will protect myself, even if I have to
hurt you too. Why do you want
us to hurt each other?” No one
likes to get hurt and saying this is likely to get that person to leave you
alone. If it doesn’t, give
yourself permission to protect yourself.
If
you have to be taught how to protect yourself, give yourself a lesson in
self-defense. You can do this
physically or mentally. If you do
it mentally, practice it in your mind over and over so your body learns how to
do it automatically if someone attacks you physically.
If
a person says something that hurts your feelings, say, “That hurt my feelings.
Did you mean to hurt my feelings?”
If the person says no, say, “Okay, then don’t say that again.” If the person says yes or says nothing say, “If you want to
hurt me, I must have hurt you. How
did I hurt you?” If the person
says you didn’t hurt them say, “Then you have no reason to hurt me.”
If the person says yes, you hurt them, say, “I apologize for hurting
you. That was not my intent.”
Later,
when you are alone, think about the words that hurt your feelings.
If you think they aren’t true, tell yourself that.
Your body needs to you to tell it what you believe.
If you think the words that hurt your feelings are true tell yourself
what you will do to improve yourself and do it.
When
you are scared, say to yourself: “My
light protects me, guides me, and makes me strong and smart.”
Then ask yourself, “What is the best thing for me to do about what is
scaring me?” Your inner light
will answer you. Listen for the
answer - it will help you.
When
you are sad, say to yourself, “I am sad.”
If you know why you are sad, talk to your self about it and help yourself
to feel better. Your body needs you
to comfort it.
Erased:
“Pain is bad.” “Hurt is bad.” “Fear is bad.”
“Mad is bad.” “Sad is
bad.” “Shame is bad.”
Replaced
With: When I have pain I find out
why and fix it. When I am afraid I
ask my light to help me. My light
protects me, guides me, and makes me strong and smart.
When I am attacked physically I know exactly what to do to protect
myself. My light makes me strong
and smart. When I am threatened I
know exactly what to do to look strong, sound strong, and be strong.
My light makes me strong and smart.
When I am sad I help myself feel better.
When I am hurt I help myself feel better.
When I am mad I find out why so I know the best thing to do about it.
My light helps me do the best thing to do when I am mad.
