TRANSMUTING NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
We would like to speak with you about emotional genetics. Emotional genetics are the emotional patterns or belief systems that are given to us from our parents, peers and elders. These are for the most part, unexamined emotional responses that predate our conscious decision-making faculties.
The easiest way to become aware of these patterns in ourselves is to begin to witness the situations in our lives where we react. Emotional reaction – usually over reaction - is the major clue that we are having a replay of an inner experience that has throughout our life been deprived of love. These moments of over reaction are a gift from our inner depth showing us where to love more.
There is a simple exercise we have given to those who come to us to begin to resolve these over reactions. First of all, there is no one living on this earth who has not experienced love. Different people experience love in different ways but without love human beings cannot survive. In infants this is called “failure to thrive”. A baby will wither and die without love.
One of the easiest ways for many people to access love is through looking into the eyes of a newborn child or a newborn puppy. These tiny beings radiate love and one’s heart melts in their presence. Another way to access love may be through witnessing beauty in nature, looking at a beautiful painting or listening to a piece of music.
Once we have witnessed a negative emotional over reaction then we grab this gift and pull it forward to work on. We identify, validate and acknowledge these emotional over reactions with “I FEEL”. Use the words “I FEEL” to identify the emotion. I feel: anger, hatred, jealousy, shame, fear, anxiety, grief, disappointment.
These emotions are experienced in and as contrast to love. We allow ourselves to totally experience the emotion. Emotions are not bad or harmful. They are information about areas within us that have not yet been brought into the light of love, the harmony of joy.
The next step is to bring forward the two most creative words in the English language: “I AM”. We use I AM to create our new frequency. I AM coming into Neutral. For example: say you identify self-hatred as the over reaction. You begin to acknowledge and validate with “I feel self-hatred”. You allow yourself to actually feel the self-hatred. You can cradle that self-hatred to your breast as you would a tiny baby that is suffering or wounded. You feed that tiny being love as you say “I am coming into neutral”. Sometimes it is helpful to hold the self-hatred in one hand and the neutral in the other as you go back and forth bringing the self-hatred into neutral. You feed it more and more love until you actually can experience the feeling of neutral.
Once you have come into neutral it becomes possible to move the emotion into Love, Peace, Joy or if you prefer THAT. THAT represents the All of the All That Is or Divinity. Whatever you use to represent the highest possible frequency for a human being to experience – I am love, I am peace, I am joy, I am THAT all share similar frequency. Choose whichever one fits your perception of the highest state available to a human being.
Then you take your self-hatred, which has been brought into neutral and bring it into Love, Peace, Joy or THAT. You hold the neutral feeling up to your heart and you literally feed it love until it shines brightly as Love, Peace, Joy and THAT within you.
This process may initially take some time and repetition to master. With practice it becomes faster. Once you have experienced the process successfully a few times it can become a trusted tool to bring yourself out of over reaction and into the harmony of the field of love, peace and joy. The experience of one’s self as connected to one’s eternal Self becomes available.
