Friend - work with your emotional wellspring

June 4th, 2004 at 5:10 pm
Hi 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.
