Something happens, and an emotion comes raging to the surface. Fear. Sadness. Anger. Depression. Jealousy. Pain. Irritation. The feelings are intense and your body reacts accordingly. Many times you have reacted on impulse to such emotions without thinking about potential consequences. What is going on and how can you deal with these feelings in constructive ways?
Emotions are your body's way of trying to get you to pay attention to information your intuitive self is trying to bring into consciousness. In other words, strong feelings indicate there is something you need to understand. I personally like to call them trigger points, because they are so strong they trigger a response (whether controlled or not).
Over the years, I have learned to pay attention to these trigger points. When strong emotion is triggered, I begin to look at the situation and ask questions. The first thing I usually ask the Universe is "What is this emotion trying to tell me?" Other questions are things like, "What specific emotion is coming up?" and "What is it about this situation that upsets me?" The right questions will help you focus in on what is bothering you.
Sometimes the fix is relatively simple. For example, some people consistently rub me the wrong way. When I ask the question, "What about this situation is bothering me?" I usually discover the other person is being hypocritical or I don't like the fact this person is forcing his/her beliefs on myself or others. As I begin to realize I don't have to accept the person's actions and allow them to change how I believe and behave, many times these emotions will be resolved and the emotion no longer comes up.
At other times, the information that is trying to surface is much more complex. For example, a coworker once did something that triggered a rage so bad in me I overreacted in the extreme--cutting her totally out of my life as though she did not exist. When I finally calmed down, I began to ask questions. "Why was my reaction to this coworker so extreme?" When I asked that question, I had a flashback to another lifetime. In that past lifetime, she had taken advantage of me so badly that I became a prisoner. My body was reacting to her same energy in this lifetime, and I knew I was not going to allow her to take advantage of me anymore. Interestingly enough, once I recognized the past life connection, the emotion totally went away and I never had a problem with it again. I just knew I needed to be up front with this coworker and tell her "No" when she wanted me to do something special for her.
Your body is always connected and aware of things your conscious is not. Listen to it when it speaks to you through your emotions. You may just discover a whole new world of information that will not only change your life but also fix up every problem that ails you!!!
