J. 9. LETTING THE EMOTION TAKE A FORM
Print

We can often work with negative emotions which may be producing ill health or other negative realities in our life by letting these emotions take a form in our minds and working with them symbolically. This in most cases will require a guide, not because it is dangerous, but because it is difficult to give instructions to one self in such a passive state.

A. After entering into a state of relaxation bring to mind the emotion you would like to experience, understand or transcend. Now let that emotion become a form in your mind. What color does it have? What are its qualities? What kind of movement does it have?

B. Once the form of the emotion has been established as concretely as possible, you begin to form a relationship with the emotion.

1. You ask it want it wants from you?

2. What its needs are?

3. What its cause is? When and how it was born in you?

4. What is that it needs in order to be helped to feel better or transformed into its positive self?

These questions may seem strange to you while reading in this ÇbetaČ consciousness state in which your mind is externally focused; but in a good deep relaxation with a good guide, you will be amazed and the discovery, release and transformation which can take place.

Our eventual goal is to reconcile ourselves with this emotion. To accept it, to accept that it is a protective mechanism (which we may not need any more) and then shower it with love and light. Can you imagine what would happen if you showered your depression, hate, fear, or anger with love and light. In most cases they diminish, because they are based on ignorance, darkness, alienation and fear.

When you show those parts of your self love and bless them with light, they no longer need to feel that way. They can now relax and feel differently.

C. Now bring to your mind what the opposite positive emotion would be in this case. How could you feel differently in the same situation? Focus on this positive attitude toward the same stimulus. Imagine your self able to feel and react differently in this same situation.

Thus, in this technique:

1. we let our emotion take a form,

2. we create a relationship with it,

3. we give it a chance to communicate any messages to us,

4. and then we shower it with love and light, and let it unite with us and be healed. Healing these parts of our selves is an integral part of healing ourselves of our physical problems.
