Aiming for Joy and Happiness
Emotions have two ranges...one associated with survival (fear, anger, grief) and the second associated with the spirit (joy, happiness, peace, contentment).
Here you can explore the energetic meaning of emotions. The intent is to provide you new options for working with them and to move from the lower range of emotions to the higher range with grace and ease.
New! Take Emotional Healing | Emotional Mastery, a 3 hour audio class for healing the emotional body and finding joy and peace.

Can you feel me now?
Check what you know about emotions. Then look for the answers in this lens.
The Message of Fear
The energetic message is: What do I need to pay attention to?Biologically fear tells us that we need to make a decision...fight, flight or flee. In a state of fear all our sensory mechanisms open to the max and our intuition in heightened. In out mostly mental world of today, fear is usually about something we think will happen to us instead of an immediate threat to our physical body. Practice choosing a "Pollyanna" view of life, and thinking of good outcomes to offset fearful outcomes. Pay attention to your feet and your connection to the ground beneath you, getting grounded in the present. Surrender the future to your Higher Self. If needed, bring in a sense of protection such as angels, guides or Creator Source. Affirm to your body that you've received the message (pay attention!) so it can release the state of fear. If you body has been in a chronic state of fear for a long time, it might be necessary to get some energy healing to break the cycle. Other forms of fear are anxiety and worry.
Dealing with Fear
Byron Katie's amazing approach to dealing with fear
Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life
Amazon Price: $8.14 (as of 06/02/2012)
Byron Katie's approach of determining if it is real or not is astounding and life changing. Known simply as "The Work," Byron Katie's methods are clean and straightforward. The basis is a series of four questions addressed to your own lists of written assumptions. Whether you're angry with your boss, frustrated with your teen's behavior, or appalled at the state of the world's environment, Katie suggests you write down your most honest thoughts on the matter, and then begin the examination. Starting with, "Is it true?" and continuing with explorations of "Who would you be without that thought?" this method allows you to get through unhelpful preconceptions and find peace. An integral part of the process is "turning the thought around," and at first this can seem like you're simply blaming yourself for everything. Push a little harder, and you'll find a very responsible acceptance of reality, beyond fear.
The Message of Anger
The message is: Where do I need boundaries?This fiery emotion acts like a firewall program for a computer. It keeps out unwanted energies. Once you feel the anger, you don't need to do anything with it (like rant or rave at someone). Instead acknowledge it in your field and ask where or why you needed boundaries. If someone else has provoked anger, simply state that you have a boundary issue coming up that you'll need time to explore. Anger calibrates better with breath and movement (great time to get the house cleaned). Sometimes when we are chronically depressed, we manifest a lot of anger trying to burn through the depression.
Own Your Anger
But what do you do with other people's anger?
The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships
Amazon Price: $7.99 (as of 06/02/2012)
"Anger is a signal and one worth listening to," writes Dr. Harriet Lerner, in her renowned classic that has transformed the lives of millions of readers.While anger deserves our attention and respect, women still learn to silence our anger, to deny it entirely, or to vent it in a way that leaves us feeling helpless and powerless. In this engaging and eminently wise book, Dr. Lerner teaches women to identify the true sources of our anger and to use anger as a powerful vehicle for creating lasting change.
“Let emotions deliver their message, then let them go.”
The Message of Grief
The message is: How can I honor what's been lost?Grief contains many emotions including joy, sadness and anger. Because we are connected to loved ones and even material objects with energy fibers, a loss of a loved one tears the energy fibers, causing physical pain. Grief has its own time line and must be honored. Some people stay in chronic grief so as not to let go of the old form of a loved one. Learn how to let go.

How to Work with Your Emotions
- Once the body system has a strong emotion, the conscious mind must honor and acknowledge the emotion by feeling it. This means dropping from the head into the body. Emotions are a cheap date...they only need acknowledgement by feeling them and they will move and resolve themselves.
- You can speed the process up a bit by breathing into the emotion (i.e. where are you feeling it?)
- When the emotional body has been flooded with emotions to the point of overwhelm, it will move them into the physical body (thereby creating physical symptoms) and/or mental body (causing psychic suffering which can then fracture the mental body). They can also move into the spiritual body and, if not taken care of in this life, become part of our karma for the next life.
- When the heart is overwhelmed with emotion, it will dump excess emotions into the intestines for processing out. The intestines not only process our food but also energy of the body. Many gut problems come from the intestines not being able to digest food because of the congestion of emotions. To support the intestines to digest emotion, eat lightly or fast, for a half a day. Place one hand on your forehead and one hand on the area just above the navel and breathe. Continue until you feel a shift.
- There are times when we go into complete meltdown and we feel as if we are drowning in emotion. During these times, I lie on a bed in a fetal position, place one hand on my midbelly, one on my forehead and breathe. Then I move deep into my interiority, the quanta field of my being. I locate my most sacred commitment in life (for me it is being in service to the Light) and I link my conscious awareness to it like a lifesaver. As the emotions move through me, calibrating in intense waves, I never feel disoriented or lost for I have my inner compass to guide me.
- You can't skip the step of feeling the emotions before the mind uses the emotion's message. Calibrate the emotions, then apply the knowledge.

- Grief has its own sense of time. It just needs to be honored and acknowledged and it will move through with grace and ease. Not fun while in the middle of it though...

- Because the current number of humans on the planet is out of balance with the planet and other life forms. There have been predictions that huge catastrophes would wipe out large number of people, and this has happened several times already, but I also saw humans having less children and living longer.

- Lovely lens. I talk about these issues throughout some of my lenses. Not quite the same as you, but very similar. I love the way you talk about it here.
I was wondering about one of your predictions that there would be less people incarnating in the future. I was wondering why.

Emotional Intelligence
The Classic by Daniel Goleman
Emotional Intelligence: 10th Anniversary Edition; Why It Can Matter More Than IQ
Amazon Price: $15.13 (as of 06/02/2012)
Goleman argues that our emotions play a much greater role in thought, decision making and individual success than is commonly acknowledged. He defines "emotional intelligence" as a set of skills, including control of one's impulses, self-motivation, empathy and social competence in interpersonal relationships.
