Wow,

So under the umbrella of be expansive is the final letter of expansive E.

So we thought we define it under the title of emotions.

So let me give you the definition.

Emotion active state of consciousness in which joy,

Sorrow,

Fear,

Hate or like is experienced as distinct with distinguished from cognitive or volitional states of consciousness.

That was a mouthful,

Wasn't it?

Another definition,

Strong agitation of the feeling actuated by experiencing love,

Fear,

Hate,

Etc.

And accompanied by physiological changes like heart rate,

Or breathing.

Another definition,

Something that causes a reaction,

Set in motion,

Move feelings,

And then some words,

Affection,

Ardor,

Desire,

Despair,

Drive,

Fervor,

Excess,

Ecstasy,

Melancholy,

Empathy,

Concern.

And you know,

You get it emotions,

We're all you're,

You're human.

If you're listening to this,

I think you're human.

But so we want to I wanted to talk about how do you deal with emotions?

How do you move emotions?

How do you how do you?

How do you live your life without being emotionally reactive?

And I don't know about you.

But me,

I tend to react.

Well,

I used to react out of my emotion,

And not think about what I was feeling exactly.

And I want to,

I've begun to look at when I start to feel an intense agitation of that brings up an emotion,

Whether it's love or fear or anger,

Or whatever,

I'm attempting to really do an inner investigation first.

So if I'm feeling a lot of love,

Open hearted love,

I often look inside and go,

Wow,

I,

I'm feeling pretty fabulous.

And noticing that that open hearted love is coming from within me,

Within me.

And then if I'm feeling anger,

I take a look inside what to really kind of pinpoint how,

How much how dramatic is that anger.

And so when I have that emotional reaction,

To check in with myself,

What I,

I'm feeling angry,

Am I really feeling that angry?

And what is the emotion under that anger?

Oh,

My gosh,

I think I'm afraid.

Okay,

What am I afraid of?

How much is that fear?

Is that and then make a choice,

Right?

With the emotions moving,

Moving your emotions,

You make a choice.

Am I going to move more into love,

Which tends to neutralize or alleviate those those harder feelings,

Harsher feelings?

Or am I going to sit in anger?

And then notice I noticed,

Is this making me my body feel good?

It Oh,

My gosh,

My stomach hurts,

Or I'm start I'm clenching my fists,

My hands hurt,

Or,

You know,

Whatever,

Or I'm screaming at the top of my lungs.

So to check in with what the emotion is,

And the reactions it may be triggering in you.

And I think it's healthy.

Just my opinion,

You don't have to do anything that Susan says.

But I think it's healthier for the planet.

If if individuals begin to check themselves in terms of how,

When an emotion is activated,

Then checking in with where is that emotion going to take me if I act on it?

Or if I allow it to begin to drive my life?

Where is it going to take me?

I think it's important to check your emotions.

People check your emotions.

Because if the sooner you can become aware that you are in a reactionary emotion to something,

You can begin to turn that emotion around,

You can begin to breathe and say,

Okay,

Do I really want to be in anger right now?

And sometimes that might be useful.

Do I want to be in hate?

All right,

I'm telling you right now hate doesn't work for anybody.

And it only harms harms.

So I'm asking that you we us begin to develop a place of neutralizing hate.

If we can erase it,

That would be fabulous.

And maybe we're going to get there.

But by by neutral neutralizing our harsher emotions within ourselves individually,

Then that radiates out.

And the sooner we turn to love,

The sooner we turn to kindness,

To compassion,

To empathy,

The sooner we begin to help with the healing of humanity,

The healing of consciousness.

And I've talked to many people this year,

I'm so grateful for what I do,

Who advocate love who advocate loving more being love,

Reacting from love,

Sending vibrations of love,

Frequencies of love out across the planet.

And if you find that you're in a reactionary negative emotion,

Work within yourself,

Sit down and take a few deep breaths and say,

What can I do to change this into love?

And believe me,

I know there are certain things you just don't want it.

I don't want it.

I don't want to change that.

Because right now I really need to be agitated about this angry.

Yeah.

And a lot of us have a lot going on.

We all do there.

I'm not exempt.

So I'm trying to navigate my experiences from a grounded,

Centered place of love within me.

And I do find everybody as I do that,

Then it radiates out just like the circles in the photo in the painting behind me,

It radiates out into this beautiful,

Gorgeous light that supports and helps and transmutes other people across the planet.

I do this intentionally.

So I'm asking you,

I guess to do it intentionally to check your emotions,

See where you are,

And see if you can focus on transmuting it into some form of love.

So that we are now committing to helping humanity grow into that love into that light into the truth of who we have always been,

Which is love and light.

And if we can begin to live that,

Live that love,

Live that truth,

And be that then it just is going to make the world better for everybody Absolutely,

I have no doubt.

So emotions.

Yeah.

Journaling is a really good way to get your emotions out everybody.

That's why I journal all the time.

So journaling is really good.

And then just close the book,

Walk away,

Get on,

Get on with your day.

Yeah.

So love,

Love,

Love,

The highest emotion.

I'm just going to end with and so it is.

Namaste
