This blog is an excerpt from my book - A COURSE IN EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT
(www.shivaswati.com)
Principle 1- Your Emotions are Instructions to your Body
The subconscious mind
operates on instruction of the conscious mind and the soul. It is the link
between the conscious mind and the soul’s intentions.
Metaphorically, the
subconscious mind is like the crew of the ship while the conscious mind is the
captain and the soul is the owner of the ship. The soul decides why and where
the ship has to go viz. the destination
where the person has to reach. The conscious mind thinks on how to take the
ship to where it has to reach and the subconscious mind organizes the
functions. The subconscious mind follows the directions of the conscious mind,
literally without any questions asked.
The crew of the ship
follows the orders of the captain blindly without trying to judge whether he is
right or wrong. Similarly, the
subconscious mind follows the feelings focused upon by the conscious mind, as
instruction. The subconscious mind produces in the body exactly the feelings
which the person focuses on by conscious choice, as physical manifestations, without
caring about whether the instructions produce good health or bad health for the
person.
The conscious mind remains
happy and the body remains healthy if the person follows the chosen priorities
as set by the soul. However, the person makes choices in alignment with the
soul’s purpose of life, when the body,
mind and soul are aligned.
If the soul, body and mind
are not aligned; the person feels lost in track, sick and anxious. Non-aligned
decision-making is akin to the owner, driver and engine of the car preparing to
go in different directions. In ideal conditions as conceived on heaven, the
soul makes priorities of life in a life plan designed before incarnation. The
mind desires those priorities to be achieved as ambitions in life and the body
helps the mind take action to achieve its pre-set priorities.
On Earth, the ideal conditions get diluted by practical considerations
like society’s expectations, parents’ ideologies, school imbibed cult, work
demands etc. which influence adult
criterion of conventional success. If the mind gets in the trap of conditioning
on Earth and starts taking over ambitions of society or other people as its
own, it starts moving away from its own soul destination. Imitation becomes a
greater focus than original thinking. The mind of a person who does not follow
his own soul plan remains unhappy and anxious as s/he knows inwardly that the
path is lost. To move back to being happy, the soul plan has to be followed all
over again even if you are far from the planned path. For moving back on the
soul plan, the conscious mind has to restart attuning with the subconscious
mind. There is a slow, consistent rise in happiness and peace of mind as you
move back on the soul path from a far away destination. The feelings of being
lost slowly subside and your health improves along with a rise in
self-confidence.
However, if anxieties continue, it means that you are not
attempting to move back on your soul plan and are still in the trap of negative
thinking which rules over mass education on Earth.
A test of whether you are on the soul plan or not is your
feeling of well-being and in good health. If there are depressions and diseases
in the body, it means that the soul, mind and body are not aligned and the
conscious mind has to become aware of its routine thinking to change its
priorities of life again and move back to feeling positive as an inner focus.
For example, if the subconscious mind produces asthma in the
body of the person, it is because the conscious mind of the person has chosen
an emotional focus which made the subconscious mind to create asthmatic
conditions to warn the person that s/he is moving away from the planned destination.
Nobody likes to be
sick but you become sick by your own choice because of lack of awareness about
emotional and neurological connections. By a choice to feel helpless, you focus
on certain sad emotions over others. Sad emotions create negative hormones
which lead to diseases in the body.
How we develop
diseases by a misguided focus on feeling sad, is explained below:
Examples of How
Emotions pass instructional data to the subconscious mind:
Each emotion you focus
upon passes as instruction to the body through an energy released with the
emotion, which creates a hormone discharge. Each time you feel, you release a
hormone in the bloodstream. Feelings are as continuous as breathing but the
type of hormone released depends on the type of energy focused upon in the feeling.
Diseases manifest when
you feel negative in the same way continuously over years by remaining stuck in
similar patterns of life situations.
Electric signals to
the subconscious mind on how to control your autonomic nervous system are sent
continuously through the way of feelings/emotions repeatedly. People who feel
nothing remain in the same level of happiness irrespective of success or no
success in the external world. Their body is maintained at neutral. Progress of
the soul towards a life purpose is recorded when happiness rises and
unhappiness falls as that leads to a rising in positive vibrational power of
the soul as the co-Creator.
If the person pursues
only success or fame, he may compromise on happiness and get more stressed than
happy, over a period of time. If the negative frequency of the soul becomes
higher than the positive soul frequency, the soul becomes unhappier even if the
person feels successful and appreciated in the external world. Such a person
starts feeling helpless against circumstances as the power of the soul reduces
when positive vibrational frequency falls. Negative focus leads to negative
hormones being released on a sustained basis in the body. Manifestation of a
negative physical condition happens over years of repeated negative focus. Hence,
the physical health of organs reflects the way a person constantly feels in
affected parts of life.
This principle when
generalized causes fatal diseases. If there is no increase in happiness over a
period of time, the soul chooses to leave the body and the body starts decaying
into diseases.
For example, if you
feel you can move, your subconscious mind sends the necessary blood supply to
your legs to move. Continuing on the
same principle, if you feel you cannot move, your subconscious mind blocks the supply
of blood to your leg, so that you find it unable to move.
Overtime, if you
constantly feel that you are unable to achieve in life what you want to achieve
because your circumstances are not allowing you to move as you would want to,
you experience leg pain / joint pain/arthritis etc. or you may feel less
energetic while doing your daily work.
Similarly, if you constantly feel you cannot speak
as freely as you desire to, your subconscious mind would record emotions of
suppression/ suffocation. These feelings would create congestion in your chest,
leading to asthma/bronchitis/chronic cold.
A continuous choice to
feel negative releases energy which acts like slow poison for the body. Just as
a poisonous acid corrodes a cement bowl overtime, negative thinking corrodes
the body organs overtime. According to research, a disease manifests in the
body when a person has been focusing on a negative emotion for about seven
years.
Each organ of your
body has a specific emotional function to play. For example, your hands reflect
your confidence in your working abilities, your legs reflect your belief that
you can move, and a healthy blood flow represents an unobstructed flow of
life-force energy in the body.
So, when you have obstruction
or pain in any part of the body, you need to reflect on what function that part
of the body is responsible for and how you have been feeling inadequate about your
ability to do that function. Obstructions/blocks /pain in the smooth
functioning of organs are created by feeling blocked in that specific genre of
life. For example, a sudden onset of asthma happens because the respiratory
organs weaken overtime due to a focus on feeling trapped within oneself while
compromising with social norms.
It is necessary to heal a negative emotional mind
set to cure a physical problem for long term. Healing chronic physical problems through accessing
the subconscious mind requires past life therapy and spirit release and is
beyond the scope of this book. However, to stop a disease from enlarging at the
outset, you need to stop the seed of negative thinking from growing bigger by
checking your negative feelings with awareness.
You can remain healthy
and happy by choosing to focus on positive feelings whether in imagination or
reality. As long as you keep your focus on positive vibrations, positive
hormones will keep getting released in your body and improve the health of your
organs.
Every person needs to
be aware that by shifting his/her inner focus to positive feelings, s/he can
heal his body of diseases by a sustained, deliberate release of positive
hormones activated in the body.
Life is more a
vibrational science than a philosophical debate. Irrespective of ethics or
tradition, your subconscious mind will create exactly those symptoms in your
body, which you believe to be true at an emotional level. Your physical health
in the future will be a reflection of your present mental /emotional problems.
Learning task 8 – Find the Connection between an Emotional Problem
and a Physical Problem
Think of the most
prominent emotional problem in your life. Write it down in clear words. Write
down the thought/feeling which you constantly focus on involuntarily.
Now, think of the most
prominent physical problem in your life. Write that down in clear words,
exactly as the symptoms come to your mind (not in medical terms. Don’t use
labels - put in words just the exact physical symptom- i.e., the changes you
experienced in your body).
There will be a connection between
the two. Keep writing down the symptoms of both in detail till your energy
connectivity awareness starts opening up.
You will realize that what you feel emotionally is manifesting
physically.
Clues: –
Asthma:
Physical Problem –
“I cannot breathe freely. I feel breathless and tired. I am unable to work
hard’’
Emotional Problem – “I cannot express myself freely. I am
unable to change the situation because I cannot speak out freely. “
Energy connection – “I am unable to express freely (breath
or words)
This connection has been derived
through researching self and several clients who have been cured of diseases
through energy healing therapies. This interpretation may take some practice on
your part.
However, as a beginner, you can find the link
between your emotional mind-set and your physical problems, by focusing on the
similarity of energies underlying the surface problem and your emotional
status.
The following details clarify further, as
explained: - In asthma, the physical problem is a difficulty in staying alive
because of difficulties in breathing. Breathlessness leads to difficulty in
expression, speaking and movement, accompanied by a feeling of tiredness in the
body.
The usual thought patterns of
people who have asthma are –‘I cannot express myself freely due to difficult
life circumstances/ I feel exhausted with life. I cannot struggle anymore/ I
need rest / I need my own space to be/ I wish I could die than cope up.”
Since the person constantly feels
restricted in expression and has a desire to escape, rather than fight to live
with respect, the same feeling gets transferred to the body. First, the organ
for expression, viz. the throat gets congested. Secondly, the breathing ability
gets impaired.
Breathing gets affected because if
you cannot breathe freely, you give yourself space to rest and recover. A lack
of breath is felt as momentary death by the body. For the eternal soul, death
is a space to break routine and have space to rest, heal and recover its
original strengths. So, metaphorically, when you keep passing on a desire to
escape, by feeling sad, the major problems you face are in breathing, as you are
forced to rest if you cannot breathe. As an asthma patient, you feel pressured
by demands of others. You allow yourself to rest only when your life feels
threatened. Subconsciously, you allow your life to feel threatened so that you
get space to rest and other people do not complain that you are not performing...
If you have awareness of emotional
management, you would use meditation techniques to free yourself from the
negative chains of life than allow a life-threatening disease to take over.
Preventing negative feelings from
rising from the outset by focusing on inner space, helps in maintaining good
health, which is necessary to stay happy. If you stay unhealthy, you are not
happy. If you think you are happy but are not in good health, you may be
falling into a trap of disillusioning yourself into believing you are happy
while compromising with negative situations; because you are letting traditions
or some dominating forces to rule over your individual sensibilities.
Every physical problem begins with a negative focus
in the mind which starts as a seed but grows big due to lack of awareness to
control it from the beginning, by shifting energy focus on the positive aspects
of life...
As in asthma, a similar connection can be found
between other organs of the body and the emotional problems we face.
For example, constipation is created by an
inability to release trauma of the past. The soul carries over trauma from past
lives and it gets aggravated by the subconscious habit of holding onto sadness
in the present life. The person who has constipation also has a habit of
brooding about the past... The emotional
trauma has to be understood and the person consoled with positive energies for
the problem to heal. A focus on
understanding energies leads to unearthing of memories suppressed by the
rational mind
