In order to create the healthy, happy and harmonious
reality we all desire, we will need to create emotional
harmony.
This process can be divided into six basic steps:
1. Recognize our emotions.
2. Accept them as they are.
3. Release them when necessary.
4. Understand how they are created.
5. Transform the negative ones through understanding and
create more positive ones.
6. Transcend them.
Here we will present a short profile of some of the basic
emotions. We have developed specific questionnaires for
understanding each one.
Answering those questions will help you discover how those
emotions are created and how you might transform them.
ANXIETY AND WORRY
Anxiety and worry, although obviously forms of fear, have
become so common that it is worth looking at them
separately.
Anxiety often concerns the factors of time and results. We
are anxious because we fear that we will not have enough
time to complete all that we have planned, or that the
result will not be successful, perfect or acceptable to the
others.
We worry often for the same reasons, but also when we fear
something may not turn out as we hope. That "something" may
concern ourselves, our children, or our parents or spouse,
which of course, ultimately, through our attachment to
these people, has to do with ourselves.
We learn to worry as children, and this becomes a habit
causing us to search for issues to be anxious or worrisome
about, even when there is nothing really important enough
to merit such a concern.
We may wonder at times why our mind thinks so much about a
particular matter, creating anxiety and worry, when in
reality that matter is not so important to us.
Anxiety and worry contain a feeling of danger, that we are
unable to achieve what we want or protect ourselves from
others or events. It is a form of self-doubt and lack of
faith in ourselves, others and the Divine Laws of the
universe.
"Soul-utions"
For this reason, we would do well to employ a daily
program of:
1. Exercises
2. Breathing techniques
3. Deep relaxation with positive projection,
4. Meditation
5. A healthy diet
6. Creative self-expression.
These activities will help reorganize our energy patterns,
freeing us from the hold of negative thoughts.
Positive antidotes to anxiety and worry could be:
1. Faith in divine wisdom and justice; that all will occur
as is necessary and beneficial for our growth process. This
belief allows us to surrender to the wisdom of the universe
and feel secure even when externally we are being
challenged by difficult situations.
This does not mean that we do not seek to create the
reality we prefer, but simply that we feel sure that the
results of our efforts will be the best for our growth
regardless of whether they are what we prefer.
2. Confidence in our ability to deal with whatever life
brings us.
Why should we doubt that we can deal with whatever comes?
We have encountered so many tests in life, and here we are
– alive and reading this. We have survived. We, as spirit,
are greater than any possible human experience.
3. Realizing that we are worthy of love and acceptance as
we are.
Much of our anxiety has to do with our doubts about our
self-worth which we tend to measure by what others think
and by the results of our efforts. Accepting ourselves as
we are removes much anxiety.
4. Living in and enjoying the present moment.
Our fears, regrets, anxiety and worry seldom have to do
with the present, but rather with the past and future. But
neither actually exist. The past exists only to the degree
that we carry it in our minds. The future is equally an
illusion.
Focusing on what we are doing in the present moment
releases us from anxiety and worry.
