Emotional awareness and empowerment are connected in that feelings are the fuel that drives thoughts. What I mean is, while thought is important, the emotional perception attached to the thought makes all of the difference as far as the energy that you put out into the Universe as a “vibe”.
This matters to your health in terms of the stress that people are feeling now due to the turmoil that is going on in our economy. I am hearing more and more about “stress” and how people are worried about their security.
I’ve read articles where even people who are employed and are not under imminent threat of losing anything are also experiencing increased depression and anxiety. The issue here is that most people believe that the external environment is causing them to feel fearful or powerless.
We are conditioned to believe that life is happening to us. Actually, we are, by the power of our own perception, creating the anxiety and this anxiety can actually contribute to our experience of life. True, there are issues going on in the economy, but that does not in and of itself cause your ulcer.It is your fear, your perception of perceived threat, which is triggering your nervous system to react in the “fight, flight or freeze” response. Everyone is not responding the same way. I know I am not. I live here in the United States as well.I am fortunate enough to have taken the time and made it my business to understand my own mind over the past decade. I used to be an overwhelmed, stress-out professional, but I pursued the “secrets of the Universe”, and I have found them in essence.One principle that is certainly true is this: “be it unto you as you believe”. This is an ancient proverb that Quantum Physics and brain research in general is proving. It is not “religious”; it is not “woo-woo”. The fact is, it is how you think and feel that creates your life experience.
What you truly believe in your heart, meaning you expect and feel it, will ultimately become your reality. In order to expand in authentic empowerment, you must learn to manage your thoughts and feelings consciously, and how to release negative energy from your human bio-magnetic field.
This energy is stored in the form of feelings that are trapped in your body at a cellular level. Long-term memory is stored in the body. This is fact, not opinion. Until you make the time to update your knowledge with current information, Spirit, Mind and Body, you will be at the whim of negative media and the people around you predicting doom and gloom.
Life does not have to be lived this way. I see our current chaos as an opportunity for us to create a new paradigm that empowers the individual to live their best life, a life that is consciously co-created for the highest good of all concerned. Empowerment is an inside job!
