Emotions are a tool kit to aid your transformation. There is information in emotions. Emotions are the clearest way to Truth. Truth is an emotion that can't be expressed in words. Ram Dass, the Harvard Professor of psychology, spiritual leader, and guru, whose book 'Be Here Now' inspired Steve Jobs to visit India, said that “Emotions are a doorway to another plane of consciousness."
Feeling emotions is freedom. Many of us live in emotional dissociation, have poor emotional intelligence, and don't face or feel our emotions. When I first started this journey of healing (feeling is healing) and transformation over five years ago, my psychiatrist told me that not everyone can feel emotions. Feeling your emotions is the only way to let them pass through you (by avoiding clinging to them - a Buddhist term) and let them go.
Emotions ultimately come from beliefs. Emotions provide a much better gateway to the spiritual dimension of our lives than beliefs. Beliefs lead to thoughts, which lead to emotions, which lead to actions, which lead to results and events. So, negative limiting beliefs lead to negative emotional states: Positive limitless, empowering beliefs lead to positive emotional states.
The train of thought: Don’t board the train of negative thought to a negative emotional destination; Board the train of positive thinking.
Emotions are born from our core value systems. Core values are unquestioningly inherited from our families, our cultures, and society, and become part of our behavioural DNA.
Psychotherapists say that "If it's hysterical, it's historical." This means that it is our childhood trauma, not our recent experiences of stress, that determine how we feel. Dr. Peter Levine, a prominent figure in trauma treatment, posits that all trauma is preverbal.
Core values are expressed in everything that we do and everything that we say, in other words, our actions.
Our ego, also known as our false self, is a fragmented, inauthentic mask, which exists in a lower state and is associated with anger, fear, and chaos. Our Higher Power is a higher state of BEing, also known as our true Self, is authentic and whole, and is associated with joy, love, and peace.
One of the differences between the psychological literature and the spiritual literature on emotions is that the latter focus on positive emotions far more than does the established medical literature. Let's dive in to the positive psychology and spiritual importance of these emotions.
Here are my spiritual equations and the Laws of cause and effect:
Most people live a life of anger, fear, and chaos. They are stuck at stage one or stage two of the ladder to Self-realisation. Anger may be an unhealthy, negative emotion that leads to fear. Fear leads to chaos. Chaos leads to conflict of every kind, including interpersonal conflict and war.
It is aggressive anger that leads to fear. Assertive anger is a healthy emotion and may be used to unblock Samskaras, which are psychological imprints, like scars which prevent the flow of energy towards higher states of BEing, from emotions that have been buried, repressed, or where there is denial of a negative emotions. Emotional pain leads to anger. Keep your composure: Getting angry at everything or anyone rarely helps. Losing control never does. Seneca, the Stoic philosopher, said, “Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury (or event) that provokes it.” The Buddha said “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” Similarly, Mark Twain wrote “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.” Confucius said “Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” One can see a recurring message.Use that to get back your calm composure. I pause before responding to anything that frustrates me. I refuse to let emotions control me. Pain may lead to suffering if we have resistance to the external event that caused the pain. Suffering equals pain times resistance. The Buddha said "Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional." Naval Ravikant echoed "Pain is a fact. Suffering is a choice. The Buddha said "The root of all suffering is attachment." By this he meant attachment to thoughts and emotions. In other words, we should practice non-resistance to events. Let go of any thought that does not bring joy with it. Although we have to feel to heal, that involves letting go of our emotions once they have cleared our inner scars and released our flow of energy. Always remember that pain is temporary: Growth is permanent.
Fear is False Evidence Feeling Real. Fear is the four letter F-word that rules and ruins our lives until we realise that it doesn’t have to. Fear is the power of our minds turned against ourselves. Fear is our self-hatred posing as self-love. Mark Twain said "Worrying is like paying a debt you don't owe." Do you live in constant fear? Maybe a low-level anxiety, maybe more than that – occasional or frequent terror? To a level that you are glued to the ceiling with fear at times or even most of the time? To the point that you would do anything to get out of it? Your fear is proportional to the distance between what you want or don't want and reality. Fear comes from our egocentric attempts to control the outside world, but we know deep down that we can’t. Remember that you can handle it. It has been shown in studies that over 90 percent of fears never happen. So, worrying works – most of the things that you worry about never occur. Even if they do, as Eckhart Tolle reminds us, “This, too, will pass.” Fears are not facts. Fear is a waste of time: Matthew 6:25-34 wrote in the Bible “Therefore do not worry about your life… Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” What is the solution to fear? The answer doesn’t lie in numbing it using people, places, things, or other substitutes. Some people are so focused on not being abandoned by others that they abandon themselves. Fear is the language of the ego. Feeling is the language of the soul. Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts. Fear and Faith do not live in the same house. As the story goes: "Fear knocked on the door. Faith answered: There was no-one there." A Course in Miracles states “If you only knew who walked beside you at all times, on this path that you have chosen, you could never experience doubt or fear again.” Research has linked spirituality with lower stress levels and improved immune system functioning, and prayer has been associated with reduced depression and anxiety. Finding deep presence in the now as a result of looking within is a spiritual solution to fear. Your fears are thoughts, largely coming from your frightened inner child’s inevitable reaction to having to deal with an adult world. Inaction fuels fear. Dr Henry Link wrote "We generate fears while we sit. We overcome them by action. Fear is Nature's was of warning us to get busy." Feel the fear and do it anyway. Epictetus, the Stoic philosopher who taught that philosophy is a way of life and not simply a theoretical discipline, said “Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.” Similarly, Michel De Montaigne wrote "He who fears he shall suffer: He already suffers from what he fears." Frank Herbert, author, wrote “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Your mind (ego) is screwing up your life, causing chaos, and your mind is running your life. It is telling you what you want and distracting you with it. It is bringing you out of your higher state of consciousness (your Higher Power).
Few people live in a constant state of joy, love, and peace. Those that have, have reached stage three or stage four of the ladder to Self-realisation. Joy leads to love by pleasing people.
Love leads to peace as when one has real (also called unconditional) love, one does not need anything else. Imitation love is conditional and you can never get enough of it. Because imitation love is insatiable, it never leads to peace. Joy is an inner state and is immune to external events. As well as being an emotion, joy, love, and peace are core values. Amor fati - “love your fate.” Good and bad things will happen. Resistance doesn’t change it. As Nietzsche wrote: ”Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it, but love it.” Life won’t be fair. Find a reason to be glad. It’s not easy, but it transforms your perspective. Fighting reality is exhausting. Loving it is the freedom to be. Amor fati is a choice: I try to make it every day.
Joy underpins many of our core values and emotions. In the Bible in Galatians 5:22 it states that “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, (and) peace.” According to the Broaden-and-Build Theory of Positive Emotions (Fredrickson, 2013), feeling momentary positive emotions broadens one’s mindset (momentary repertoire of thoughts and actions) and enables one to think and act more creatively. In addition, positive emotions may have an “undoing effect” (Fredrickson et al., 2000, p. 237) on negative emotions. The effects of negative emotions often linger after the negative circumstances that caused the negative emotions are no longer present, but the experience of positive emotions speeds up recovery from these lingering effects (Fredrickson et al., 2000). Happiness is conditional, transient, and fleeting. Joy on the other hand is unconditional, constant and transcending. Joy never leaves you. Joy doesn’t come and go – but our awareness of it can. Happiness is for the moment, whereas joy is in the moment, and experienced in true deep presence. Joy is a state of BEing. Joy is a choice. Happiness is ‘because of’. Joy is ‘in spite of’. People pursue happiness but go within to find joy. Happiness reacts. Joy endures hardship and trials and connects with meaning and purpose. Eckhart Tolle wrote “To know your Self as the BEing underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, Enlightenment.” In the Bible James (1:2-4) wrote “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds.” One does not need to follow any religion to be inspired by joy during adversity. Like love, joy is fearless and untroubled by the world. It is as if nothing in the world can tarnish or diminish the essence of joy. As such, it is free. Joy is the Soul of happiness.
William Shakespeare wrote in 'Hamlet' There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Accepting the 'isness' of the present moment is the road to peace. As Dr Wayne Dyer wrote “Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be.” Jesus said in Matthew 28:30 “Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your Souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Which meant that he was completely at peace as he completely accepted reality. He had no preferences. Therefore he did not suffer. Even when he was crucified. He had pain but no suffering.
Would you like to know how to live in total joy, love, and peace? Well you can. Right now, for the rest of your life. There is a tried and tested formula. It’s no secret. The only question that you ever need to ask your Self, from. a place of total presence, when facing any decision is “What would love do now?”
Your thoughts are not you. Emotions aren't facts. Fears are not facts. We have 60,000 thoughts per day. Most of them are repetitive and negative. Your mind is not you. Your soul is you. Your Soul resides in the heart. You latch on to some of your repetitive thoughts, which become your ‘thinking’. These negative thoughts cause negative emotions, which are simply the body’s way of commenting on the quality of those thoughts. Simply note the thoughts and the emotions. Then you will feel bliss, which is the formless energy that you feel when you are aligned to your purpose or when you are in Nature. You have access to it any time and anywhere. You will eventually feel this all the time: This is Enlightenment. Simply get out of your own way.
Emotions may arise spontaneously, which our minds interpret as real. For example if you wake up feeling anxious you then search for a negative thought in your mind which is associated with fear. These are not your thoughts. Only the heart can guide you to Truth, wisdom, and healing. Your mind leads you to hell, and your heart leads you to heaven.
Non-attachment is letting go of the thoughts and emotions that create suffering. Once you can stop being so attached to your thoughts, you will experience tremendous relief, inner peace and a pervasive 'BEingness'
Lord Byron wrote “The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.” Feeling strong emotions makes you feel that you are alive. It is a blessing to be able to feel emotions. This recovery aphorism is often quoted "The worst thing about recovery is that you begin to feel. The best thing about recovery is that you begin to feel." Without pain there is no love. We are terrified of fear. The only way through fear is action. The person who is afraid of flying and who gets on a plane finds out that there is nothing to be afraid of. The problem is that our survival brain's fight and flight response is designed for life or death situations. Most of us live in our reptilian survival brain. What was once an appropriate physiological response no longer serves us in day-to-day life. There is no invisible lion. Most of us are no longer living on the open plains of Africa.
Emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive, control and evaluate emotions. The term was first coined by researchers Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer and found popularity through Dan Goleman’s 1996 book. They define it as the ability to recognise, understand and manage our own emotions. The study of emotional intelligence has gained much popularity since the mid-1990s, with business professionals, relationship coaches and more using the term to encourage others to improve their lives. Many researchers believe that emotional intelligence can be improved over time, while some argue that it’s a trait we’re born with or without. Most spiritual teachers would say that it's not for anyone to try to influence the emotions of others: We should just work on our Selves.
All thoughts and emotions are transient. They pass like a wave. This too shall pass. You will wake up when you realise that you can only suffer from your own thinking; not from your circumstances.
Your thinking is only a variable guide to reality. Feelings, however, are a foolproof guide to our thinking. Don’t analyse or give power to your thoughts. You are the thinker, not the thoughts. The key is to feel your emotions and let them go. Jump off the train of negative emotions and let the emotions go once you have felt them. Just stop thinking about your emotions. Let them pass through like water through sand. Remain seated at your ‘seat of ease’. There is no need to get up and join the fight. What I think doesn’t matter. What other people think doesn’t matter. Surrender all judgement and you dissolve all negative thinking.
You are not your emotions. Emotions interpret the world for us. They have a signal function, telling us about our internal states as they are affected by input from the outside. Emotions are responses to present stimuli as filtered through the memory of past experience, and they anticipate the future based on our perception of the past.
Tracy Lord says in 'The Philadelphia Story' that "You're so much thought and so little feeling." You are living in the feeling of your thinking, not the feeling of your circumstances. Therefore don’t allow your feelings to control your thoughts. Your mood rules your day: Your day does not rule your mood. Even if it feels that way. The difference is inside you.
Experiencing an emotion is your body’s way of relaying information to your consciousness. This experience of feeling then causes a cascade of other important processes that help you grow, learn, and ultimately survive. Emotional awareness is the ability to identify emotions in your Self and in others.
Ram Dass said that "Emotions are a doorway." You are not your thought and you are not your emotions. You are the cinema screen and thoughts and emotions are the movie that is projected onto the screen.
Emotions teach us where we need to grow next. It is only once we have felt our emotions that we can let go of them and learn valuable lessons in growth. The pain is where you will grow next.
Emotions are like learned visitors - teaching us, and moving on once you have learned the lesson. If you don't learn the lesson they keep coming back until you do. If you don't pay attention to them, you may not wake up at any point in your whole life. You will have existed in fear and never actually started to live your life.
Emotions may have a basis in survival-oriented learning, but they also serve as an important tool for building relationships with others.
Your problem is not the outside world. It’s your inability for your heart to express the full range of emotions. Do you want to devote yourself to controlling the outside world so you don’t have to deal with emotions that you can’t handle or do you want to devote your life to doing the inner work so that you can handle anything that life throws at you? Your vulnerability will be your strength. Any suppressed emotion will come out in different ways, sometimes decades later. You become that emotion by not handling your hearts full expression of it. Every experience makes you grow if you don't resist it. Simply witness what is in front of you.
Meditation and writing
To feel emotions we allow them, we can speak vulnerably about them, meditate, write (journalling), or compose letters to your inner child and to your shadow. It is important to experience a shift from over-intellectualisation (which is a defence mechanism) as a coping mechanism, to feeling your emotions. Intellectualisation is a useful starting point so that you can put words to your emotions, but must be dropped out of to heal. Intellectualisation is a springboard to dive into healing - but you must then swim in your emotions in order to dissolve them. This will release your energy blockages and will let you ascend 'Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs' to Self-realisation (Enlightenment in Eastern traditions) and Self-actualisation. Edgar Allan Poe wrote "I remained too much inside my head and ended up losing my mind." Paulo Coelho wrote “You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it is better to listen to what it has to say.”
Meditation is one of the biggest antidotes to staying stuck in your mind and allowing the emotions to surface, be felt, noted and then let go of. Eckhart Tolle wrote "Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behaviour. You are beneath the thinker. You are the stillness beneath the mental noise. You are the love and joy beneath the pain." The key to finding stillness is silent meditation. Journalling and writing: It’s not always easy to corner free-floating thoughts in your mind and so writing is a great way to express stress, trauma and different emotions. To help work through understanding emotions, you can use a journal to articulate your thoughts. Writing may feel safer than telling someone else; It allows you to feel judgement free; creativity feels like communing with a Higher Power; writing prevents rumination and catastrophising. If you are feeling overwhelmed or anxious, this can be a good indicator that you need to slow down or even STOP, be gentle with your Self and process your emotions. You can also write to your inner child and shadow, inviting them in to you.
Williams explains journaling can help get out raw emotions in several ways:
It feels safer than telling someone else
It allows you to be judgement-free
It prevents thought rumination
Connecting with your true Self
Learning to control your emotions when difficulties arise allows us a potent way to take ownership of your body and mind. It's a way to connect to your Soul. Here are the ways to connect with your true Self:
Check-in with yourself regularly (ask your inner child who is the 7-year old you that lives inside you "How are you and what do you need today?");
Sit in silent meditation;
Feel your emotions from an observant state, simply noting them;
Don't get up from the 'seat of your soul' (Respond and lean away: Don't react to egoic conflict);
Stream of consciousness journaling, writing and creativity:
Morning rituals such as yogic sun salutations, prayer, and meditation;
Mindfulness of thoughts (Keep saying to your Self "I AM" during routine tasks);
Movement and exercise from a place of Self-love not self-hate;
When we meet adversity and can overcome it;
Compassionate connection with a compassionate community;
Work on awareness all the time - it's our primary purpose in life;
Resilience is 'response flexibility' - the ability to change a behaviour - this requires the processing of your emotions;
Resilience is innate. We can learn how to cultivate it;
Spiritual practice strengthens our innate resilience;
Darwin said it’s not the strongest species that survive: it’s the one that is most adapted to change;
Understand deeply that you can learn and change your behaviour and that the brain changes all the time.
When we uphold and connect to our true Selves, we're able to forge and restore a path home. Our self-constructed imagined stories begin to drop and and we start living our Truth and highest path.
Sang froid
We are known in Britain for our 'sang froid' and for having a 'stiff upper lip' and as young boys we are told that "Boys don't cry". Sang froid comes from the French for 'cold blood'. James Bond, the archetypal British secret agent, definitely has sang froid. But to be able to be James Bond and to keep his 'cold blood' he numbs his emotions by being an alcoholic and a sex and love addict. However, as human beings we need to feel our emotions, not numb them. We shouldn't need to numb ourselves to make sure that when we are shaken, that we are not stirred. It's ok to be stirred. If fact it's more than ok, it's an essential part of healing from trauma and learning who you truly are. Reptiles have cold blood. They are not known for their compassion. If you're an English National, sang froid means that you are callous and unfeeling.
Someone who has a stiff upper lip does not show their feelings when they are upset: A person who is said to have a stiff upper lip displays fortitude and Stoicism in the face of adversity, or exercises great self-restraint in the expression of emotion. The phrase is most commonly heard as part of the idiom "Keep a stiff upper lip", and has traditionally been used to describe an attribute of British people in remaining resolute and unemotional when faced with adversity. A sign of fear is trembling of the upper lip, hence the saying 'Keep a "stiff" upper lip'. The idea of the stiff upper lip can be traced back to Ancient Greece, to the Spartans, whose cult of discipline was a source of inspiration to the English public school system during the Victorian era, and also the Stoics. Stoic ideas were adopted by the Romans, particularly the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, who wrote in his masterpiece 'Meditations', "If you are distressed by any external thing, it is not this thing which disturbs you, but your own judgement about it. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgement now." The concept of the stiff upper lip reached England around the 1600s. Examples of having a stiff upper lip include: During the Battle of Waterloo, the Earl of Uxbridge's calm assessment of his injuries (he had lost his leg), severe physical trauma, to the Duke of Wellington after being hit by a cannonball; In 1912, during the Terra Nova Expedition, Captain Lawrence Oates, aware that his own ill health was compromising his three companions' chances of survival, calmly leaving the tent and choosing certain death saying, "I am just going outside and may be some time." Those last words were said with sang froid and a stiff upper lip.
Emotions are literally "e-motions", meaning they are 'energy in motion' in the form of emotions that need to move: Not staying stuck, festering and stagnating inside of you. So, do not make the mistake of assigning permanency to temporary feelings. Feel them as they come up. Note them. Sit with them, and then allow them to move through your body in a healthy manner. Let them unblock your energy centres (called chakras or prana in Eastern philosophy, but which are very reflective of the psychologist Abraham Maslow's 'Hiierarchy of Needs'. Chakras mark places where spiritual energies intersect. There is a wonderful book by Dan Millman, the Olympic athlete turned spiritual coach, called 'Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior,' which describes these energy centres and how they relate to our awakening. The original meaning of the Sanskrit word Chakra is 'wheel' and refers to the chariot wheels of the rulers, called cakravartins. The term is defined as a spinning disk or wheel of energy that runs along the spine. In between these wheels are energy channels, which allow the energy to flow from one place to another. The health of one's Chakras is directly connected to the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of a person. These energy blocks (also known as Samskaras) are described beautifully in one of my favourite books 'Living Untethered' by Michael Singer. Blocks in the energy flow must be released through feeling the associated emotions and learning the lessons that they are teaching us. Let the energy blocks go when the time is right for you through yoga, movement, breathwork, meditation, or any other way that works for you. Remember, you are not your emotions, you are the medium experiencing them.
Why do we say "Cry like a baby"? We should be able to say "Cry like a man". Babies, little boys, grown men, secret agents and soldiers, should be able to cry without being judged. If they are not allowed to cry, they will seek to numb their feelings in ways that hide their soul. Vulnerability is the key to Real Personal Power.
Overintellectualisation
Transformation is a process, beginning with intellectualising it. As we have said, this is partly a defence mechanism: That by giving the pain of awakening a name, terminology, theory and concepts, it prepares us for the tough part: Namely feeling our emotions. We must swim in the vast ocean that is life. For many of us this may be the first time that we have felt our emotions since childhood, when we started burying them as they were unbearable.
The transient nature of emotion
William Blake wrote:
"He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy:
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise."
This short poem encapsulates a beautiful thought regarding life. It is easy to stay in ways of BEing that are safe and known. You “Bind yourself to a joy” so to speak and eventually it will not be the same anymore. By staying with something that once brought joy when it is time to move forward you clip your own wings in a symbolic sense: You cripple your ability to flow through the ups and downs, the emotions, that always accompany changes. Lose your attachments. Life is about change, literally nothing lasts - embracing new things and finding joy as it flies is a smoother way of going about it. Enjoy things in the moment while they last but don’t overdo it. The sun will set on all your endeavours - be open to find the next sunrise rather than staying out in the cold. Change is the only constant. It is darkest before the dawn: The dawn always comes. And it will be blazing.
How to find peace and become Self-aware: Three elements are required (Note the acronym JAR): Non-judgement, non-attachment, and non-resistance.
Surrender means to let go of resentment and judgement and to let go of trying to control people, places, events and things to make us happy - they won't. This is also called emotional sobriety. It means to surrender to the power of the Universe: To surrender to love. Forgiveness transmutes fear to peace.
Non-attachment is letting go of thoughts and emotions that create suffering, which is what this article is all about.
Non-resistance is acceptance of what is, which brings space and the transcendence of conditioning and brings peace.
Psychology, psychiatry, and spirituality with regards to emotions
A journal article entitled 'Psychiatry, religion, positive emotions and spirituality'. by George E. Vaillant proposes that eight positive emotions: awe, love/attachment, trust/Faith, compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, joy and hope constitute what we mean by spirituality. These emotions have been grossly ignored by psychiatry, despite evidence in neuroscience. Spirituality is not about ideas, sacred texts and theology. Rather, spirituality is all about looking inwards, examining emotion and fostering social connection. Neither Freud nor psychiatric textbooks ever mention emotions like joy and gratitude. Hymns and psalms give these emotions pride of place. Our whole concept of psychotherapy and psychology might change, if clinicians set about enhancing positive emotions, rather than focusing only on numbing the negative ones.
Conclusions
I salute you for keeping going. Being human is totally terrifying. You’ve held so much for so long. There is a child inside who just wants to drop it all and be free. You deserve peace, joy, love, and abundance. Thich Nhat Hanh wrote “At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it.” Are you ready to make that choice, for it is a decision and a choice?
Marianne Williamson, the spiritual teacher and presidential candidate, wrote “Nothing binds you except your thoughts; nothing limits you except your fear; and nothing controls you except your beliefs.” It's time to let go of everything and take the leap. Eckhart Tolle wrote “I am not my thoughts, emotions, sense perceptions, and experiences. I am not the content of my life. I am Life. I am the space in which all things happen. I am consciousness. I am the Now. I Am... Accept–then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. This will miraculously transform your whole life.”
