‘An emotion usually represents an amplified and energized thought
pattern, and because of its often overpowering energetic charge, it is
not easy initially to stay present enough to be able to watch it. It
wants to take you over, and it usually succeeds – unless there is
enough presence in you.’
Eckhart Tolle
We choose.
We choose to allow our emotions to control us or we observe and use
them as a guidance system.
Anger, one of our most volatile emotions is simply showing us that we
are in the grasp of the ego and are justifying our inability to
forgive. There has to be some outcome or recognition first before our
anger begins to subside. When we are in the result of the emotion of
anger we usually do not care what the outcome is so long as there is
some acknowledgement in some way that we are right and someone else
has done something wrong.
If we choose to return to the present moment we can recognise the
emotion rather than be controlled by it.
Sometimes even good emotions can be addictive and we can throw
ourselves off balance, for instance in the case of someone that
constantly looks for the next adrenaline rush.
There can be a healthy balance and when you step back and observe the
emotion you can begin to ask why you feel a certain way or why you are
attracting this emotion.
When we are overwhelmed with emotion we can often begin to react in an
unconscious manner, for instance, losing our temper or acting on
impulse demonstrating compulsive behaviour.
Our emotions are our guidance system. Are we moving in a direction
that brings us closer and in alignment with our higher joy? Or are we
reacting in a way that is somehow preserving a thought or aspect of
the ego.
When we are able to step back into the present moment we can choose to
realign or to continue in alignment with joy.
This does not always mean just doing whatever makes you happy because
if this is your choice, without consideration for surrounding people,
you can also induce feelings of guilt or greed for instance.
The trick is to deny the ego that temporary moment of satisfaction.
Stand back and disidentify. Choose the direction that is healing,
forgiving and balanced. Step into the present where you are nothing
more than that moment and the answer will come to you.
Surrender.
When we are feeling negative emotions we can often find that more and
more negative thoughts and ideas start to flood into our minds,
constantly feeding the ego. I want to share with you what can happen
when you choose to flood your mind with love and appreciation in the
same speed that we can so easily find ourselves bringing negative
thoughts and ideas into our experience.

Appreciation’.
