Finding Your Emotional Wellspring Ever wonder where your emotional energy comes from? You already know where your physical energy comes from. It's from the air you breathe and the food you eat. All neatly converted in the mitochondria of the cells into ATP - the 'currency of the body'. What about your emotional body? Where does the energy come from that fuels *that* body? What gives you the juice to feel the anger, fear, etc. ? Where does the energy come from that lets you feel angry? Have you noticed? You never run out of anger. You always have enough pity. You can always conjure fear. You always rise to the emotional occasion. Your emotions have to come from somewhere. There has to be a source - an emotional wellspring. You have a wellspring inside you just as real, just as essential as the food you eat. Deep down inside, deep down in the solar plexus area, an energy is flowing right now. It's the food for your emotional body. You can tap into this food source and make it work for you. In fact, you've already exploited this food source quite well. You've dug ditches and canals. You've built dams and dykes. You've engineered; you've worked hard to mold it into your liking. You've contained your emotional energy in many innovative and interesting ways. Problem is, sometimes it gets a little out of hand. Sometimes it fights back from your attempts to control it, to contain it, to shut it up and shut it down. Sometimes your emotions shout at you. Many times they just whisper. Either way - they want to flow. When the flow stops, stagnation sets in. Just like water. Your emotional body can end up a swamp, or an arid desert. Or anything in between. It can be blazing hot. It can be ice cold. It can be a beautiful virgin world of dominion - in peace and harmony - or it can get pretty ugly. How do you suppose your emotional landscape stacks up? Where do you fall on the continuum? Early in life we made choices and decisions about how we're gonna react to things. Sometimes we decide to be a victim - and we start digging our ditches in that direction. We create the emotional landscape of a victim. Or maybe we decide anger is the way to go. Our anger will protect us from the big bad world. So we blaze a trail in *that* direction. The point to understand is that we've been busy little beavers. Unknowingly instructing our subconscious mind to build elaborate controls over that pure refreshing flow of virgin emotional energy that bubbles up from a wellspring deep inside us. We build 'structures' to deal with this never-ending flow of energy. Structures of anger, fear, and pain. Structures that last - that stand the test of time. The emotions you felt yesterday are most likely the emotions you'll feel tomorrow. Why? Cause that flow takes the path of least resistance. It follows the structures you've built. Like water. Changing the flow of water away from it's current path can be a mammoth task. Likewise, changing your emotional response - your knee-jerk reactions - can be quite a daunting task as well... Unless you know a few secrets to working with this emotional energy, and a few secrets to working with your subconscious mind. That's what we'll be looking at in part two of "Finding Your Emotional Wellspring" Stay tuned - next time we'll explore exactly how to work with and harness the endless supply of energy that feeds and fuels your emotional body.
