Emotional Reversals

[Guest guest]

Please observe the emotions and what kind of emotion you are giving strength to

by practicing it and therefore solidifying it into your behaviors.

 

None of us want to admit to having emotions that are destructive and yet we do

have them. Inside of the Kundalini process part of our internal diligence is to

recognize what destructive behaviors we are attaching to and to reverse these

emotional trends.

 

By reversing we are able to clear these behaviors from our expression especially

as we do so again and again reversing sometimes years of destructive

entrainment.

 

By reversals I am referring to providing a beneficial emotional expression to

replace a destructive one. Love for hate, or tolerance for bigotry etc. It can

be a little bit difficult at first but these repeated activities are very

important for the emotional balances which are where the ego may draw specific

behavioral responses from.

 

This is a way of allowing the ego mind to choose from a healthier palette of

choices when it leans towards a trigger response to an emotional situation. The

more we practice these reversals the greater our loving and beneficial

experience inside the Kundalini becomes. - blessings all - chrism

something happened to day I am not sure exactly what but it began this morning

as i had an encounter with a person that normally would cause an angry response.

i felt the anger rise alittle and then i just shook my head and looked at the

situation from the other person's point of view - i did not let it go completely

but i did not feel the emotions that i usually feel in this type of situation.

there was a new feeling that settled in. i actually found myself smiing then

later all was ok

 

then the rest of the day so many nice things happened- at the place i am working

i have encountered so many new experiences- working in a totally different

environment than i am used to - working with other cultures that i am not used

to - finding myself listening to others and allowing them to tell me their story

before i jump in with mine-

 

i have met so many nice folks here- so i gave out towels i had crocheted to many

of them - their reaction was touching- people seem so shocked that someone would

give them a gift for no reason other than having spent some causal time with

them- i had not thought about how folks would react only that i love making

these towels and i did not want to carry them cross country- and i do like to

give gifts to people- so the genuine gratitude threw me off -

 

then at lunch i sat with three folks i have been having lunch with and i found

myself discussing Kundalini, Catholicism and Christianity

i would love to write some of what was stated but i fear too many would be

offended - it was interesting and although i did not feel i did Kundalini

justice i felt Shakti was right there with me - the one lady said she could feel

my energy and understands how others are drawn to me and she will be checking

out the KAS website to read chrism's articles-

 

i had been feeling that i had not been talking about K much all of a sudden

today well I made up for the lack and i felt sooooo good - i felt myself shinig-

i met another lady who is suffering with some kind of polio that hits older

folks - we had not talked much until the last few days and i discovered she

knows about kundalini thru reiki and has felt energy and worked with it -

 

another fella i met a few months ago working on another project and i shared two

kundalini books with him - he is into meditation and yoga - a really nice guy -

i felt that we were brought together for a reason - we shared some of our

personal stories and i know he needed to hear about kundalini from me

 

i have said before how it just amazes me all the connectiveness i find - i know

all of you are having your own connective encounters - i find the kundalini

world i encounter becoming smaller which just feels so very good

 

so that was my day - i feel my energy flowing tonight - sharing k with others

does that for me - i know being open is not for everyone yet for me it is now a

necessity - and i believe that i do affect others in so many ways - as i

contemplate those i have met here in Durham NC i see so many threads -

 

i kind of feel like a bobbin - you know those fish bobbins that bounce about in

the water holding the line and then when a fish is hooked the bobbin sinks and

the fisherperson tries to bring in the fish ?? i just keep bouncing about from

place to place sharing k with anyone who will listen - and at some point k will

pull in those on the line - those who are ready to be hooked by K

 

the words just passed thru my head - i'm hooked on k

 

chrism tells me to find my inner joy - well today i found it - and i did so

enjoy it ( now how do i keep it close???)

 

namaste...and may the force be with you...

would you also consider how one reacts to their emotions an aspect of emotional

reversal? I've been finding that instead of trying to replace emotions that I

feel, to feel them, and go into the 'monster' and face it as fully as possible.

One main emotion that I'm working with is fear. When I used to feel it, I would

judge it and push it into the basement and pretend like I didn't have it. Now

instead of reacting against fear and pushing it away (I'm not suggesting that

this is what you're saying, but inevitably my limited understanding doesn't

understand much about emotions and how to safely control them without repressing

them...) I go deeply into it, feel it and something miraculous happens: many

times it turns into great bliss where my body feels like it's melting. And other

times I feel it to the point that it no longer feels like fear but just and

energy fluctuation. I'm not yet ready to face many of my fears but I feel that

they are losing their hold on me each time a feel the fear and surrender the

story. Would this be considered emotional reversal too?

I was just reading this in some yoga philosophy book that the easiest way tostop a bad habit is to do completely the opposite, instead of just trying tonot do the bad habit. On Fri, May 1, 2009 at 7:58 PM, . wrote:

Namaste

 

dear Craig. .

 

you are so right on with this one. . .we create blocks by repressing

the feelings. . .we hold all unexpressed feelings in the body and this

leads to the blocks. . .what you have written is what heals for when we

embrace and lean into the feelings they do dissolve and with each

dissolution there is a greater experience of the Self. . .truly this is

the most sane way of emotional healing. . .

 

i think we have much to learn from animals about feelings and pain and

how to handle them. . .Veterinarians are schooled in the belief that

animals do not experience feelings or pain. . .and many of them do not

give any kind of pain killers after major trauma or surgery because of

the academic belief. . .i so disagree with them, for i believe animals

expereince pain but they do not hold on to them for they do not have a

egoic that creates all kinds of scripts that if they are experiencing

pain then something is wrong about them. . .instead they have a clean

experience that allows " what is - such as it is " . . .it is the blocks

that causes the suffering. . .

 

an example when horses are attacked by predators, they lean into the

attackers rather than pull away, and in so doing the mouth of the

predator cannot tear the skin but is pushed and lets go. . .i have often

remembered their strategy, to just lean into it when it comes to

feelings. .
