Containing Your Feelings
Your feelings have a great effect on your life, and your feeling comes before your thinking in its effect on your mind and on your reactions.
Your feelings affect you in a way that covers your whole life. There is no aspect of your life on which your feelings do not have a direct effect.
The feelings that show in you appear on your features and in the energy of your body, and people around you and those in your life notice them. If your feeling is full of calm, passion and love, that affects others, and they respond with empathy or warmth toward you.
If your feeling is frustrated or agitated, people may follow along with the feeling you are expressing. Your feeling is the force that affects your life, through the spontaneity of feelings that you do not pay attention to.
Your Conscious Feelings
The feelings you experience in the present, in the current state, are the necessary awareness. Through awareness and moment-to-moment attention, the state of awareness shifts into a desire to change the feeling from a negative one to a positive one. Present awareness is the most important thing for your mental perception.
Present Attention
The more continuous your present attention, the more perception is able to change the mental state from negative to positive. Through moment-to-moment awareness, your mind can protect you:-
- from your negative past experiences.
- from your sense of situations and disappointments
- from the reactions you release within yourself
Awareness in Your Feelings
Your awareness in your feelings, with your mental activity awake and in inner interaction with your feelings: through awareness the performance of your feeling changes, and it chooses alternative feelings to those that existed before awareness.
Choosing Feelings Intelligently
Empowerment is a choice, independent of circumstances and experiences, of the feelings you wish to bring to life within you. The advantage of empowerment is your confidence in your ability and in your choice of the feelings you select within yourself.
Through empowerment, you can determine each time the feeling that protects you from the feelings and actions of others.
