HOW DO WE BALANCE OUR EMOTIONS?
Emotions play a vital role in our life, we have to work with it and also have it in balance by having a healthy emotional state we bring about a healthy physical state. It’s something which we need to work on it daily and keep looking into how to work or release certain emotions which is getting suppressed.
There are seven basic emotions as per study:-
Happiness
Surprise
Fear
Anger
Sadness
Disgust
Contempt
Through this there can be various thresholds of emotions taking us into it deep or just a superficial touch of the same. We cannot suppress the fact as these are the basic emotions each one of us feel. It is up to us then how we deal with the emotions and the feelings that come up.
Both are entwined and the only way to acknowledge our emotions is to notice how you are feeling. As you bring your focus on your feelings understanding the emotion and also why has it come in becomes very easy. Normally we are so busy going about our routine that at times we ignore or we can be oblivious to what’s happening to us.
We get into an imbalance is when there is an excess of energy it could be the masculine energy or feminine energy. We hold onto both energies and it has to be balanced. We have to be watchful to see if our meridians and masculine and feminine energies are in harmony and balance with each other.
In a day we can actually go through all the 7 basic emotions and there is no way we can control our emotions as we skip from one to the other. It can get difficult when we try to control it or not acknowledge the emotions.
For eg:- When someone is really angry, and keeps on denying saying I am not angry, but one can see the facial expressions and body language clearly showing otherwise. This could be cause of own resistance to acknowledge what we feel for various reasons.
The only way we can bring balance to the emotions is accepting it and allow oneself to go with the flow without resisting it. To achieve this one needs to know how to handle negative emotions. This has to be done without us getting stuck or being pulled into it.
We are living in stressful times and can get caught up with all the whirlpool of negative news and that can lead us to various emotional states which could leave us in an upheaval. At times like this people tend to suppress emotions or try to go about like everything is normal. This can happen consciously or or not being conscious about it (subconsciously).
The best way to deal with an upheaval is have an emotional balance. One may state how can I have an emotional balance? Or how do we work on achieving an emotional balance.
