EMOTION

DEFINITION Emotion: "Definable changes in body chemistry due to physical and/or mental stimulation." Our full emotional repertoire must be accepted and understood. No emotion is either good or bad. All emotions have a logical and rational cause and function and all emotions are definable, allowing us to name and catalogue them for future reference. There is nothing WRONG with ANY emotion. All emotions are natural and serve a function. Problems may occur when emotions become neurotic: persistent and overwhelming for long periods of time, out of balance, and not relevant to the present experiences and situations. We can get stuck with a small and repetitive emotional repertoire. When we understand our full emotional spectrum, then we can learn how to master them, applying that which is appropriate to the appropriate situation. Emotions are experienced on a gradient of intensity (1 - 100%). Sometimes our emotions can be linked to important life events and issues and it can take time to process them (to work them out of our system. Most of our emotional responses are rooted in our social/emotional mammalian mind which has appeared through millions of years of evolution.

BECOMING AWARE OF OUR EMOTIONAL SPECTRUM.

1. Identify how we are feeling - what emotions we are experiencing.

2. Understand how emotions influence our behaviour.

3. Learn to manage our emotions.

4. Learn to control the intensity of our emotions.

5. Learn how to communicate our emotional experiences in appropriate, adult, and civilized ways.

We can categorize emotions into primary categories as follows:

1. Fear and security.

2. Like and dislike.

3. Desire and aversion.

4. Happy and unhappy.

5. Selfish and altruistic.

6. Accepting and rejecting.

7. Calm and upset.

8. Appointment and disappointment.

9. Extroverted and introverted.

10. Doubt and certainty.

11. Interested and tired/depressed.

12. Social and unsocial.

13. Pleasure and pain.

These primary emotional types are constructed from a mixture of basic component emotions.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE.

All emotions are simply a feedback system that tells us about our relationship with the world. All emotions have a valid and useful function that is why we have them. To deny any of the full spectrum of emotional responses is to split your wholeness. All our feelings are giving us important feedback about the conditions in our lives and need to be respected and listened to.

There are three simple categories of human emotions.

1. Desire	-	Positive feelings towards circumstances we feel will bring happiness.
2. Aversion	-	Negative feelings towards circumstances we feel will bring unhappiness.
3. Neutral	-	Unattached, cool, calm, collected, emotionally controlled, emotionally uninvolved.

It is from these categories that all other emotions arise.

For example, the employee who feels fear (aversion) at facing their boss the next day.

The major problem with emotions is our lack of intelligent understanding and display, and cases of neurotic (irrational and unexplainable) emotional behavior; ie: unnatural, persistent, abnormal, repressed, unnecessarily extreme, unbalanced, and unnecessarily unreasonable (for example,  race hatred and other prejudice).

"Emotional intelligence is realizing and acknowledging how we feel."

The repression of normal emotions leads to depression - literally to hold down.

Because most people are untrained in the skill of understanding emotions, we generally repress emotions which causes tension and anxiety (stress) throughout the human system. This tension and anxiety leads to all manner of manic/depressive complaints and emotional disorder that eventually result in discomfort and disease.

To be intelligent about our emotions means that we must learn to acknowledge how we feel. To begin with, this is like penetrating a dense dark cloud of confusion, but eventually with practice, we learn to tune into and understand our emotional behaviour. To do this, we must be completely honest about how we feel, accepting all those uncomfortable and so called "negative" emotions that many people have been taught to ignore.

Emotional intelligence means that we acknowledge every emotion in the full spectrum of human emotional behaviour, realizing that all things have a purpose. For example, the emotion of strong aversion that some people call "hatred" has a much a use as that of "love" - it informs us that we have a strong aversion to something and that we need to look into the matter.

It is preferable to completely acknowledge how we really feel. In this manner, our emotions will server us with important feedback about how we feel about our life. We have emotions for definite and logical reasons.

Don’t hide from your emotions – acknowledge them all and let yourself feel your response to your environment and the people in it. Don’t think that you shouldn’t think or feel certain ways towards certain people just because you have been told not to. Emotions serve us with important information about our interactivity with the world.

All emotions are simply a feedback system that tells us about our relationship with the world.

Each chakra has definite emotional issues and characteristics. For example, the base chakra deals with greed, survival insecurity and fear, and hording.

 

EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL.

A control mechanism. A person controls another person by creating a strong conditional (based upon the others behavior) atmosphere of “approval and disapproval.” For example; John is the controller and Jane is the controlled. When Jane does something that John doesn’t like he creates an atmosphere of disapproval that influences what Jane feels about showing that behavior in the future. Basically, John withholds his loving feelings when Jane does anything that offends his preferences. This no good. What John should do is to communicate his feelings of discomfort concerning Jane’s behavior and open up a discussion so that both sides can reach an agreeable middle ground.

Controlling people are bad communicators and don’t know how to discuss or negotiate with other people. They want their own way all the time and may have been spoiled as children where they discovered that they could exert power over their parents by adopting these social strategies.
