Emotions like fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, hatred, and jealousy are natural feelings that everyone has, unless you're an enlightened sage. In a sense, these can be described as the energies that help preserve our will to live.
However, there are moments when these usually unconscious feelings suddenly resonate with a certain event, and we find ourselves immersed in the same frequency, experiencing the emotion.
At such times, it's essential to separate the event from the feeling.
The brain perceives emotions as reality, and events accompanying those emotions tend to be drawn closer. To break this negative cycle, try to objectively observe the events: "This is happening," "That person said this," "I am thinking this," and so on. Doing so can help dissociate the facts from the emotions.
The quickest and effective way to release feelings is deep breathing. Take a deep breath, ensuring the air reaches your "tanden"- lower abdomen, three fingers below the navel - , and then exhale calmly. Repeat this several times, and you'll find that the feeling gradually fades, and you no longer attract realities of that frequency.
If you feel the negativity is too strong and this method is ineffective, immerse yourself in the emotion temporarily and then try the deep breathing. As you exhale, be conscious of letting go of negative feelings, and over time, you'll discover a more balanced self.
You can stop here, but after calming down, consider reflecting on why the emotion was aroused in the first place. It's because the frequencies you emit can attract events of the same frequency. (At this time, avoid dwelling on past events . Also, the cause can be related to past lives; I'll discuss this in detail during our session.)
For instance, if you feel humiliated by an event and this feeling is aroused because someone belittled you, examine whether you have feelings of looking down on others or, conversely, feelings of self-depreciation. You might find some surprising insights.
If you gain any "realizations," try to treat others with kindness or build confidence in yourself, and put these insights into action. As your heart changes, the people and circumstances around you will inevitably change too.
In this way, events perceived as negative can be treasures depending on how you interpret them. Wouldn't it be wonderful to think that, thanks to such events, you've grown a bit?
