So have you ever noticed the different energetic tones of different emotions?
Often when emotions arise very quickly we get so caught up in them,
Become really identified with them,
We almost are them,
And they're quite overpowering.
In their essence.
Emotions are just energy moving through the body.
So if you want to do a little exercise with me,
You can close your eyes or open them.
It's up to you.
If you imagine yourself in a situation where you feel really angry.
So there's strong anger in you and just.
.
.
Really notice how that feels in the body.
If your body feels closed or open.
Vibration of it,
The energy of it.
Anything you notice.
Just generally how it feels in your body when you feel really angry.
And then relax the body and let that go for a little bit.
And now imagine yourself in a really peaceful place.
Somewhere nature may be,
Feeling really peaceful.
It could be at the ocean or the mountainside or the river,
Whatever it might be.
So really place yourself there and just feel.
How peaceful you feel in that moment.
And notice again how that feels in the body.
The tone of it.
Your body feels relaxed.
Open,
Close,
Tight.
Maybe notice the vibration or the energy of it.
Or any kind of movement.
Or just generally notice how your body feels.
When you feel really peaceful.
And then maybe you notice the difference between those two.
How your body feels.
When you're angry versus how your body feels when you feel really peaceful.
And the reason why.
They feel different in the body is because the energy of them is different.
And emotions are not solid kind of fixed energy.
They're moving.
They need to unfold in the way that they need to unfold.
So if we can really allow the energy to unfold.
They become much less overpowering.
And the energy of it kind of dissipates away a little bit.
And how we can often respond to emotions is that there's a kind of contraction around them,
A freezing process.
Doesn't let that energy unfold.
So next time you feel an emotion arise,
Whatever it might be,
Negative or positive.
Just notice what's happening in the body.
You can breathe out if that helps,
Relax the body.
Allow yourself to be relaxed and open.
And just allow that energy to kind of unfold and move through.
And just notice for yourself how it changes the relationship that you have with that emotion at the time.
So I hope you enjoyed this little talk about energy and emotions.
