Everything is about our emotions...

As I'm sure you guys are aware, I'm always talking about our emotions and how important it is to deal with root causes etc...

Here is a little powerful video below of someone undergoing emotional release therapy. The therapist is touching energy points and doorway spots on the client to help release suppressed emotions. She also talks about how all disease and discomforts in our body are ALL due to held and unreleased emotions (something you've probably heard me mention before too).

Of course, if you do some emotional processing by yourself at home or something like that, it might not be as intense as what you see in this video. Everyone releases emotions differently as well.

Anyway, this is just for those who are interested or may want to develop some sort of further discussion here about the soul and emotions.

If you're curious or interested in this, it's definitely worth watching the whole video.

 

I've been reading stories about people who go on ten day Vipassana retreats just sitting in the hall when someone behind them starts crying uncontrollably. As the practice is supposed to bring up stuff that might be hidden so it can be finally dealt with face to face. I think it was during the body scan exercises where they focus attention on different parts of the body. The idea being that certain emotions can 'hide' in different parts of the body and you bring them up when you focus on them for an extended period.

 

Yes, my friend. This is true.

The video below even shows the host herself being triggered into her own emotions while watching the healer work on the client. Link below if you're interested.

We learn to hold onto certain emotions from childhood. Things like constant sore throats are to do with things like fear of speaking up etc... Every pain in the body is due to emotions. Because, in our bodies, we were not designed to feel pain. Of course, if someone throws a baseball at your head, you're going to feel pain, but any pain that suddenly appears in the body out of nowhere is all emotion driven and is not natural.

It doesn't even have to be anything deep like childhood pain. Just anything that happens within the day should be processed. Boss shouts at you, girl rejects you, someone drives past you and swears etc... All of these unprocessed emotions effect us on levels we're totally unaware of.

 

I have an emotionally unstable personality disorder or an emotional dysregulation disorder. Of course, I have the ability to be logical and rational. However, the amygdala can hijack the prefrontal cortex. When that happens, an unusual phenomena occurs - feelings become facts. The sheer intensity of the emotions I experience overwhelm my cognitive processes and what I feel to be true is true. For example, if I feel offended then you were offensive! So, in my 'world' everything is about my emotions. Argh!

 

Ah, I see, brother. That's very interesting. Thank you for sharing that.

Although you label what you have, it seems that many people have this as well, probably without even having been officially diagnosed with it.

I definitely feel that what you have described is something developed from childhood (as most things are). It's definitely worth having a look into your past. I see others acting this way quite a lot (in real life).

It could also be to do with how our emotions get suppressed in childhood from our parents. They project a terror within us proclaiming that they are always right, when most of the time they were not. Of course, guidance from an adult is appreciated due to their experience, but most adults are crap at dealing with their own emotions. It's children who have mastered how to truly express their emotions, but adults shut them down, and it gets carried into adulthood.

It's always good to feel through our anger and discover the root of it. We release emotions just by feeling them.

 

Absolutely right

The whole world is in the state it's now due to unprocessed emotions.
