Emotions – Our Inner Guidance System!

Inner Guidance System1Emotions and feelings are perhaps the most intimate and important aspect of our personal communications vocabulary. They are key to self awareness, self- knowledge and our unique personal language. Emotions give rise to what we feel. They help us recognize what we appreciate and learn to understand, know and accept ourselves. Not only is emotional intelligence essential for success in our personal life, understanding and cultivating EI is critical for our workplace, career, social and business success.

 

How Emotional Awareness Liberates You

Emotions are energy in motion. They are the result of chemical processes triggered by our thoughts while feelings are the states of consciousness that we experience as a result, through our awareness. Moods describe the quality of our feeling state at any given time. All are subject to change.

Generated by thought, emotions are a powerful feedback mechanism.What we feel is a reflection of what we have thought and what we have thought is a reflection of what we have perceived and how we feel about it.

 Inner Guidance System2

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

The thought manifests as the word;

The word manifests as the deed;

The deed becomes habit;

And habit hardens into character.

So watch the thought and its ways with care

And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings.Buddha

 

Sensation – The Body’s Communication System

Poorly managed emotion can cause havoc. Anxiety disorders, characterized by excessive, uncontrolled every day worry can result in the following physical symptoms:

  • Muscle tension
  • Nausea
  • Gastrointestinal discomfort
  • Cold and clammy hands
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Jumpiness and
  • Difficulty sleeping.

Suppressed emotions may be experienced as knots, pain, tension (a form of blocked energy) stored in your cells and locked within the muscle tissue or fascia adding to your stress and creating imbalance and possibly ill health.

An effective Self care program includes a well-developed wellness regime including exercise, regular energy balancing,  relaxation, meditation and healthy diet. Personal commitment and regular attention to balancing the mind, body, spirit signals to the Self that you are reclaiming your power.

Our custom-designed coaching programs are holistic and will help you get to wellness.
