subject: What Is Emotion? [print this page] So how do you get control over your emotions? You need to take responsibility for your thoughts and your life. There are some people that have been through horrific situations such as war, who develop a very real condition called post traumatic stress disorder. They become incapable of controlling some of their feelings and this can have dramatic consequences. Some are led to suicide or murder, while others live in misery unable to sleep and function normally. Modern medicine doesn't appear to be very effective in dealing with this particular type of crisis.
You can gain control of your feelings but often you have to change your instinctive reaction to a specific behavior. Have you ever found yourself getting very angry with your spouse but yet they don't appear to have done anything? Perhaps what happened was they used a tone or phrase that reminded you of a past event and your subconscious feelings regarding this event were triggered by this and your reactions are thus not based on the current behavior of your spouse.
What we expect out of life is what we get. Again and again this has been proven. Doctors conducted an experiment in Texas on some knee surgery patients. They had two groups one which were getting replacement knees and others who thought they were. Nothing was actually done to the second groups' knees, although they were put through surgery and incisions were made. The level of pain recovery was found by doctors to be the same after two years had lapsed. In the second group, their brains expected their knees to have been repaired and the pain gone and this is exactly what they made happen. The pain was gone because the brain believed the reason for the pain had gone. As in the Texas experiment, as neurologists say, we are conditioned by our thoughts and therefore expect specific events to happen.
How is it possible to control your emotions? Responsibility for your thoughts and your life depends on you. Some people have developed a very real condition called post traumatic stress disorder after going through horrific situations like wars. They become incapable of controlling some of their feelings and this can have dramatic consequences.
Some are led to suicide or murder, while others live in misery unable to sleep and function normally. Modern medicine doesn't appear to be very effective in dealing with this particular type of crisis.
An energy healer could benefit these people by unblocking their mental trauma which would let their energy field flow again uninterruptedly.
We all need energy to survive. The dead have no emotions, good or bad, without it. The ability to feel things requires energy, so with no feelings we are dead. But with negative energy surrounding us, we might as well be dead as we are not only making ourselves miserable but also those around us.
