Transforming Negative Emotions

What are these emotional feelings?
We are sentient beings, which means we are capable of great perception and feeling. More than this, we are in fact supersentient beings born with pure feeling. Human beings have a range from crude dark feelings to their opposite of light refined feelings, depending on the evolution of the soul. Pure feelings known as innocence, trust, joy and love which are our natural and eternal state, are always present in this NOW- moment but are deeply buried beneath surface shallow emotions. Paradoxically, it is through these very emotional body that we start transforming and awakening what has always been present - pure feelings known as tranquility, peace, love, joy, contentment and innocence. Our evolution of memory (past) contains every experience ever experienced imbedded in the subconscious memory. Our many lifetimes on earth carry a staggering amount of stories that color our perceptions, thoughts, and thus, contribute to our emotional body. Any experience that we made real to us personally is stored in the subconscious storehouse and reflects how we view life. The subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between the real and illusion and so manifests whatever we believe (story) happened. These stories are impressions that bombard our brain with thoughts. These thoughts, in turn, create a motion of energy in the body known as emotion (sensation). We react to these emotions so unconsciously, initially, that we are literally caught in them prior to our awareness of them. We are literally, at this stage, living an unconscious life.
The good news is this, that the moment we commit to making these reactionary emotions more conscious, in other words, we are willing to become aware of them the moment they happen, we start to refine the feeling until we eventually start living from pure feeling. In short, it is called the awakened life. Our natural state is pure feeling, which can be witnessed in babies, but the moment the ego sets in through past memory and identification with the name and body, the dark side starts taking place such as possession, me and mine viewpoint, neediness, demands and even temper tantrums. Since our natural state is pure feeling and therefore love itself, then the more love is shown to the child, the lighter becomes his/her expression. Most people are not in touch with their true-feeling-nature at all. In fact, they associate feeling with their emotional states of sadness, unhappiness and negative thinking. This is a common viewpoint and belief that emotions are feelings. Emotions are sensations in the body such as tremors, shakings, flushes, sweating and so on. They are triggered by thoughts of past stories - stories that the subconscious doesn't want to let go off. Continue Reading at: http://www.thinkrepublik.com/library/living/negative-emotions/
