Friend - work with your emotional wellspring
June 4th, 2004 at 5:10 pmHi Friend Last issue I wrote about the emotional wellspring - a
fountain of energy that feeds your emotional body much like the
food you eat feeds your physical body. Now I’d like to offer a way
to use your emotional wellspring to your advantage. But first, let
me ask you - are you getting enough sleep at night? There’s
actually a method to optimize your body’s inner sleep system to
sleep less, and have more energy in your life than when you slept
LONGER. Sleep expert Kacper Postawski spills the beans in his
fascinating new e-book “Powerful Sleep.” While most people think
sleep is just “sleep,” it’s actually a complex and fascinating
system which you can OPTIMIZE in order to sleep less, and create an
abundance of energy in your life. http://www.join-the-fun.com/sleep
I’ve studied the e-book quite thoroughly and I highly recommend it.
In fact, I’ve applied the principles myself and I definitely notice
the difference. If you or someone you love has problems getting a
good night’s sleep - I urge you to take a look. Learn how simple
lifestyle changes can produce a dramatic difference in the quality
of your sleep. And who’d a thought a simple thermometer could help
you sleep better? http://www.join-the-fun.com/sleep Now, how to
work with your emotional wellspring to improve your emotional
health: The first point to understand is that this flow of energy
is real - very real. It exists. It stands as the source of your
emotions. The pure, raw, energy that *becomes* your emotions.
Because you have this wellspring, you are able to conjure emotions.
Another important point to understand is that you can indeed go to
your wellspring. You can find it, visit it, immerse yourself in it
and be changed by it. And you can do it a lot easier than you might
think. The only tools you need are your INTENTION and your
IMAGINATION. To find your emotional wellspring, you first need a
time and place when you can be alone, quiet and undisturbed for 20
minutes or so. For maximum results, you want to be able to give
this your undivided attention. Find a comfortable position, either
sitting or lying down. Begin to relax your body, spending a few
minutes to breathe deeply as you focus on each part of your body,
telling it to relax. Once you’re relaxed, count slowly from five to
one with the *intention* of entering an altered state at the count
of one. When you reach the number one, find yourself in the domain
of your emotional wellspring. (While your wellspring doesn’t have a
precise physical location, it does have a precise domain - namely
it’s within your third chakra.) Open your senses to the environment
around you. You will find yourself in some nature setting that most
logically relates to your unique emotional temperament. A swamp. A
desert. Deep in the woods. Or perhaps a beautiful meadow. (Lucky
you!) Let it be what it is. It may shape-shift, like the scenery of
a dream. Let the scene come to you - rather than trying too hard to
force the images. Don’t worry about a lack of clarity in your
visualization. Just get a sense of the place. Look for clues.
Notice how it makes you feel. Notice the emotions that come up when
you’re in this place. Next, proceed in the direction of your
wellspring. Choose to find your wellspring, and start moving
towards it. Let your intuition guide you. Soon you will come upon
it; the pure unadulterated energy that becomes your emotions. Your
wellspring probably won’t look like mine. It will appear in the
form that is most logical to you. See it as clearly as you can.
Observe its shape and size. Notice the colors. Listen for any
sounds. Drink from the well. Taste the liquid energy. Jump in, if
it’s large enough. Splash it onto you; let it absorb into your
skin. Play with it. Let your presence be known. After you’ve
rejuvenated yourself, now turn back around from whence you came.
Are you happy with your emotional landscape? If not, what would you
like to change? Remember, this is *your* domain. You are in charge.
You’ve created it the way it is - and you can create it any other
way you wish. For example, let’s say you’ve created a swamp. By
draining this swamp, by changing your emotional landscape, your
emotional state will change as well. This is real - remember? This
is the source, right? Water and fertilize the roots of a plant -
and watch it change, as if by magic! Same here. If you drain that
swamp, if you clean out that dark scary forest, if you irrigate
that desert; your emotional state WILL change. Why? Very briefly -
this landscape was created by a combination of your intention and
your subconscious mind’s ‘muscle’. Your subconscious did the heavy
lifting - under direct orders from you. By making changes to the
landscape - you’re communicating to your subconscious, sending a
message in *ITS* language - that you want changes in your emotional
state. In a nutshell, your subconscious mind is responsible for a
lot (not all, but a lot) of the knee- jerk reactions you have in
life. Sure, you can release the emotions after they’ve come up -
through various techniques I’ve explained elsewhere or by the
Sedona Method - http://www.join-the-fun.com/Sedona … but this is a
way to change things so you don’t even create those emotions in the
first place. It’s a way to lessen the fear, the grief, the anger,
etc. that seem to be so overwhelming in our lives. Creating a
beautiful, idyllic setting downstream from your emotional
wellspring WILL make you a happier person… just like watering the
roots of a plant. So how do you do it? Any way that seems logical
to you! Does it make sense to just pick up the phone and call the
U.S Army Corp of Engineers? Then do it! Get ‘em out here to fix
this mess! You’re in control. Whatever makes sense to you will also
make sense to your subconscious mind. (Or is it the other way
around?) Will it take 50,000 peasants? Is that more logical? Or do
you need to do all the work yourself? Maybe that’s the best way for
you. Also, remember Rome wasn’t built in a day. You’re not going to
finish this project in one 20-minute meditation. Just like a
‘real-life’ construction project. Maybe the first time you walk
around wearing a hard hat and carrying a bunch of architectural
papers. Maybe at first you just get a plan together, after
surveying the landscape. Maybe you spend twenty minutes a day for a
week, making a little more progress each day. Doing it this way -
episodically - creates the greatest likelihood of successfully
changing your emotional state. If each episode builds on the last,
believe me - your subconscious mind *will* notice! By the way,
after you’re done, count yourself out of meditation by counting
from one to five, and at the count of five open your eyes. For more
