your emotional energy. To unsubscribe from this mailing, click on

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. For more
