Tips For Communicating With Your Emotions

By Maria K. Garcia

The secret to avoiding bottling up of emotions is, knowing how to effectively communicate with them. It does not matter whether the emotions are positive or negative. However, it can be slightly challenging to establish efficient communication when one is overcome by emotions. To make certain that one's emotion-associated communication is efficient, it is important to involve a tad bit of preparation.

This article discusses into detail tips on now to effectively communicate with your feelings when overwhelmed by emotions.

Give yourself time to calm down. In a situation where you find yourself overpowered by sadness or happiness, chances are that you will be more than eager to talk to someone in regards to your feelings. Nonetheless, this is not a wise move. In order to communicate effectively with your feelings, you need to give yourself time to calm down. This is because your amplified feelings can cause you to say or do something which you may regret at a later date.

Plan your opinions. Prior to talking to someone about your feelings, it is important that you be able to comprehend yourself. Journaling your thoughts will assist you in trying to understanding these emotions. If you have a sheet of paper, jot down these feelings immediately. Since they are still fresh in your mind, it is best not to wait. Thereafter, try to explain to yourself why these emotions are overwhelming your thoughts. If these feelings are negative, try as much as possible to determine the best way to stop them.

Come up with "I" declarations. Beneath your notes, jot down numerous statements which start with "I". A lot of emphasis ought to be placed as to why you are experiencing these emotions and the triggers of these emotions. For instance, in case you are mad with someone who is close to you, begin the statement as "I feel as if I was not consulted."

Choose an appropriate timing. Prior to communication your feelings, make certain that the timing for communication these emotions is an appropriate one. Choose a secluded location and a huge chunk of time to make certain that you the opportunity to investigate your emotions rather than hurrying over your thought process.

Talk to someone about your feelings. Once you have gone through your thought process, the next step is to let them out. While expressing your feelings, try as much as possible to remain levelheaded. Use the "I" statements you wrote earlier to communicate these feelings.

Learning how to express one's emotions can greatly assist in preventing hurtful words or actions that commonly uttered or done when one is overpowered by feelings.

Indigo Kids by Maureen Dawn Healy

The following is excerpted from The Energetic Keys to Indigo Kids available from New Page Books.

“Indigos are all already aware they are different.” —Nancy Tappe

Indigos are “highly sensitive with a warrior personality,” explained Doreen Virtue, author of The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children, in the documentary The Indigo Evolution. I wholeheartedly agree. Indigo kids are unique in the fact that they hold two opposing qualities simultaneously: high sensitivity and fierceness. So they are extremely sensitive like the “highly sensitive children,” defined by Elaine Aron in her book, The Highly Sensitive Child, but what differentiates them is their personality. I prefer to use the concept of “the indigo personality” to capture their shared characteristics, such as:  

 

• Are highly creative.

• Are extremely energetic.

• Are gifted in certain areas (for example, mathematical genius, poor reading skills).

• Have a need for fairness.

• Prize honesty (almost above all else).

• Feel equal to authority.

• Hate rules.

• Refuse to do certain things.

• Want special treatment.

• Are strong-willed.

• Waver between grandiosity and low self-esteem.

• May be prone to depression.

• Have high sensitivity (sounds, smells, touch, sights).

• Have sharpened intuition.

• Don’t respond to authoritative parenting.

• Have built-in BS detector (immediately know dishonesty).

• Tend to leave things incomplete.

• Cannot be rushed.

• May have fetish (for example, only wants to wear princess dresses).

• Like playing alone (unless with other indigos).

• Get “hooked” on things and can’t let go.

• Are independent at times, clingy at other times.

• Seek meaningful friendships.  

 

Understanding the core characteristics of the indigo personality is very empowering. You no longer feel alone. Having worked with thousands of indigos, I can say that these attributes animate themselves differently in children but the indigo short summary is this:  

 

• High sensitivity.

• Giftedness (in one area).

• Incredible creativity.

• Strong energy of defiance.

• Inner motivation.

• Intuitive intelligence (very high!).  

 

When I was told early on that I beat to my own drummer I took it in stride. Now, I realize that I was merely beating to an indigo drum—which is unique, unusual to the mainstream, and deeply powerful as a force for change. Indigos see, feel, and experience life differently than their more mainstream counterparts. They tend to have an unusually high level of creativity, sensitivity, giftedness, and angry energy to channel.  

 

This angry or warrior energy that defines many indigos isn’t a bad thing. It is the energy that breaks down broken systems (think: public school systems) and creates better ways of doing things. Of course, the challenge is to raise indigo kids to use their incredibly sensitive, highly responsive, and fierce energy as force for good.  

 

Parenting indigos, especially if you aren’t “indigo-like,” can be a real challenge. Over the years, I have had countless clients come to me because one parent was indigo-ish and the other thought his or her child was just given to them by Martians. They just didn’t get it. Usually it started out like: “What is going on with my child? She’s as sweet as pie one moment, and then next it’s a full-blown tantrum.”  

 

So I usually had parents detail the itty-bitty things of their parent-child interaction, and I served as the bridge to translate from indigo to adult. Then, they’d have an “a-ha” and say, “Oh my—that’s what was going on.” As soon as you know the energetic triggers of indigos you can stop bumping into them unknowingly and experiencing such upset all around.  

 

Jamal’s Journey  

 

One of my first Los Angeles child clients was a 5-year-old named Jamal. His mom, Lisa, contacted me because she discovered Jamal was actually highly sensitive. One instance stood out for her.

 

Jamal was attending a private kindergarten in Los Angeles, and he was the only African American in his grade. One school project was to bring in a baby photo and post it on the wall, where all the kids got to guess “who’s who.” Jamal knew this wasn’t going to work out for him. Jamal is very observant and aware of life, including his ethnicity, and that this was an unfair game. He told his teachers. Mrs. Smith, his main teacher, said she would work on making it fair. So she printed out famous baby photos of African Americans and decided to add them to the game. On the day of this game, all Jamal’s peers picked him out first and he got really upset. Jamal began crying and left the classroom, refusing to return. He said, “Mom, tell everyone it’s not fair and that’s why I am so upset.”  

 

Jamal was clear from the beginning he disliked this game, felt unheard, and had a sense that it wasn’t going to work for him. His teacher, from her “older perspective,” couldn’t really understand how to create an effective solution. Ultimately, Jamal got triggered by the unfairness of this situation and couldn’t contain his emotions. Indigos as a whole cannot ignore their emotions but must learn effective outlets for them. Jamal fits the indigo profile to a “T,” with his high sensitivity, strong emotions, and warrior energy standing up for what he saw as an injustice. He refused to go back into that classroom and Lisa picked him up.

How to Cope With Emotions and Reduce Anxiety

By Margaret Sweet

Emotions are feelings that cause reactions. When a person feels sad, regret, guilt, shame, angry, hurt, resentful, or rejected they tend to allow these feelings to cause them to slip into depression. Such intense emotions are the leading cause of anxiety, panic attacks, and other disorders. People find it hard to cope with emotional reactions because we have lived in a world of misconceptions and for century's society and others have told people "Big boys don't cry." Alternatively, they say "Let it go" when someone is emotionally hurt, thus encouraging people to repress true hurt feelings. Repressing feelings literally means to block, limit, or internalize.

When a person represses true feelings for long periods it results to the creation of a mental disorder in most instances. People who tend to hold in anger and resentment will express anger outwardly or rely on drugs or alcohol in some instances to cope with the buried feelings. To overcome emotional conflicts we all have to learn how to express our true feelings appropriately and learn to recognize how to notice the difference between assumptions and true feelings.

How to cope with intense emotions

When you first notice that, you feel upset, take a step back and examine your thoughts. Emotions are feelings that cause a reaction when thoughts encourage feelings. For example, if you were assuming that someone is judging you, you would feel anxious as a result. The reason this reaction occurs is that the emotion or feeling is untrue. These shaky assumptions lead people to think they can read other people's minds when they cannot, so to assume people who do not even know is judging you, is making a false statement against others. Challenging the thought will help you to put the thought into a new perspective.

When we are untrue to ourselves emotional, conflicts result. I help people recognize assumptions that cause them to feel upset. To change how you think is the first step you must take to change how you react. The next step is challenging the fears.

Fear

People who live in fear struggle with handling emotional reactions well. Irrational fear resulting from assuming habits, worry and anxiety are often caused from a notion that a person is in real danger even when there is no danger present. They live in the "fight or flight" way of thinking that causes distress and panic to escalate. The key to reducing anxiety and panic is to overcome the notion you are in real danger when danger isn't present.

Emotions are feelings and causes emotional sensations when a person feels sad, happy, excited, angry, joyful, etc. by learning to accept that every one of us has real feelings, it will be easier to cope with emotions. Learn how to cope with emotions to reduce mental disorder and other problems by considering effective cognitive behavioral therapy, life skills course, mastery skills programs, and subliminal therapy.

Are You Sensitive to Energy?

By Jayne Warrilow

Have you ever been in a gathering of people and suddenly felt overwhelmed, overstimulated or even afraid? If so, chances are that your intuitive energy channels are wide open allowing others to enter your energy body unhindered. Others may have said that you are too sensitive, as though it is something which is not normal, something to be fixed, healed or corrected. It is important that you become aware of your own intuitive energy so you can use this to best use in your life and this may mean learning to protect your own energy so you don't need to carry everyone else with you as it can be a huge drain on your vitality.

First, consider the following statements to see how sensitive you are:

•I am very aware of the subtleties in my physical environment
•I can sense other people's moods / energy
•I am sensitive to pain / physical sensations
•I need a lot of alone time
•I am bothered by strong smells / aromas
•I can be overwhelmed by bright lights and loud noises
•I avoid anything violent
•Large crowds can drain my energy leaving me feeling anxious
•I suffer from allergies and skin sensitivities
•I have a rich imagination and inner world

If you answered yes to most or all of the above, you are likely to benefit from the following exercise:

Before entering into a crowded environment or any other situation which may drain your intuitive energy, begin to focus on your breath to center yourself. Be conscious only of breathing in and out. As thoughts intrude notice them, but don't judge them. Breathing activates your positive energy, it is a lifeline to your centre, to grounding yourself with the earth. With each breath extend your awareness downward into the ground. Picture your roots forming downward through the earth, through the rocks and soil, mentally planting a root from your body into the earth's core. As you breathe feel your connection with the earth deepen. Allow the earth's positive energy to infuse and stabilize you.

Once you feel grounded you can surround yourself in a blanket of white light. This is your protective shield. Allow it to act like a semi-permeable membrane allowing positive energy to flow through into your being whilst shielding you from negative, draining energies. Add other senses which appeal to you (eg heat or a perfumed aroma). Feel comforted and embraced by your blanket. Know that this blanket will protect you and your energy from the draining external influences which may surround you. Calming any anxieties you may have, leaving you free to enjoy all the positive influences whilst keeping out the negative.

Opening Your Heart to Safe Love

At the deepest level of our soul and spirit we know that we are love. We all crave to experience this love in a tangible way. We know it’s within us and that we have the capability of flowing this love through our hearts. And, we want and need to express it with other people. But we’ve all experienced hurt, loss, and woundedness in our past that has caused us to close our hearts to the experience of love with ourselves and with others.

Those wounds create detrimental patterns that get locked in the cells of our bodies. Whenever there is a new trigger similar the original hurt, the ego mind and our emotions come to the defense to protect those damaged (mal-programmed) cells. Those memories serve as reminders to protect us from future hurt. Our heart wants to open and be loved by another and yet the feelings of loss, pain, betrayal, deception of our past won’t let us. We put up a garrison, a fortress around our heart, so that even when we want to open and know we need to and could, we don’t.

So how do we move this fortress out of the way? How do we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and feel safe enough to take down the guards? It has to be done at a cellular level. We have to reprogram the cells in our bodies with new information, with positive messages, and then step out in faith when the opportunity comes to be loved by another. The experience of loving and being loved by another person is worth the risk. The problem with trying to love another is that the other is probably just as wounded as you are and you trigger one another even with this fresh opportunity to be loved. As we heal our own hearts, we learn who can provide a safe experience and we only open to those who can nurture and receive our love.

The opportunity to love another, to blossom and grow, to step outside of our past experience, and live truly in the now moment requires us to take action in the physical realm. We can repeat affirmations, get into a support group, or spend time with non-judgmental people who can help us walk through this situation. But the change also has to come on a spiritual level. A transmission of grace and transmuting energy can lift all the impairment from the cells and allow Spirit’s healing love to rewrite the programs that we’ve been carrying in our emotions and in our mental field.

It’s not the soul that needs to be healed. The soul is pure conscious love. The soul knows how to love. It’s the brain, the body, emotions, cells, and the mind that must be healed if we are to ever experience love in an open-hearted manner. Old emotionally charged wounds are triggered and the defense mechanism is set off when we encounter a current situation that is like the original hurt. When this happens, we need to push through the pain and allow healing to come in so we can allow ourselves be loved again—not ignorantly, but with eyes wide open and fully understanding the risks. We learn to guard our hearts in a new way. Not with walls that close us off, but by filling our heart with love from the divine source our higher self. The beings of light who are part of our monadic group of spirit helpers are always sending love to us. It’s a matter of opening to receive that love.

Sometimes love is facilitated through another person who has opened their own heart so that they can help you open yours. That doesn’t mean this person doesn’t still have issues—they’re learning and growing too. It means they have taken the first step and are allowing healing love and light to come in and to begin its work of transformation. Because this work is transmuting and re-writing the old programming in the cells with new truth and new messages of oneness, this person can share from a higher perspective and help others begin to live in the truth of who they are as individuations of Source. As a spiritual coach, I can help by sharing what I have learned about managing emotional energy and clearing it from the cells of your body.

What Does It Mean to Have a Pure-Conscious?

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. Acts 24:16

The name of my new book is Shifting into Purer Consciousness. So what do I mean by purer consciousness?

You think of the pureness of anything as being untainted or unclouded. It’s very clear, concise, refreshing, uplifting, and healthy. If you think of being conscious, it means to be aware, awake, on guard and not asleep or lazy. If you think of consciousness in this case, it means to guard your thoughts and emotions and make sure they are in alignment with what you want to create a as powerful and divine being.
Philippians 4:8 states: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Pure thoughts toward other people, yourself, God-Goddess, your business, your products—whatever—when your conscious is clear that creative part of you that attracts situations, people, and things into your life. I’m sure you’re familiar with the law of attraction. Our thoughts begin an activation process to bring something into physical manifestation. The Universe or God is totally impartial (no respecter of persons) and always agrees to help us create whatever we desire—even if that is something negative or harmful. You can see why it is so important to think about what you want to bring about.

Our emotions are the fuel for the thoughts we think and help to bring them to the next step on the manifestation production rack. That’s one reason that shifting into purer consciousness has to begin at the mental and emotional level—what’s going on in our inner world, what we are thinking or believing. Because the majority of our beliefs are subconscious, they are many times very different from our spoken words. The subconscious level is a driving force in our manifestation efforts. That’s why we manifest illnesses, depression, emotional disturbances, and other discomforting things. These can be used to shake us up and help us realize that we are manifesting incongruently. Because our outer world is the reflection of our inner world, when we become more conscious of our thoughts and emotions and begin to correct them, the things in our inner world will also shift positively.

Opening the Door to Spiritual Transformation

Spiritual transformation has to do with the inner life: the thoughts we think and the emotions that we feel. With an empath, these are already kicked into high gear so it’s a matter of calming them down and learning to manage them by seeing them as energy and knowing that you can do something about it.

Whenever you start feeling fearful, angry, or offended you have the power within you to make a choice. You have life force or creative power within you to shift your thoughts or emotion and feel something more positive and beneficial. I know it sounds magical, but you can do it if you just start practicing with one thing at a time. Catch the thoughts in your mind, pay attention when are you being critical and judgmental of yourself or others. Then ask for help from the holy spirit, angels, ascended masters, or the spirit beings that you feel comfortable with. Ask them to help you transform negative thoughts into peaceful, kind, and loving thoughts because whatever we send out, even as a thought, comes back to us and it activates the manifestation process. So if we’re thinking thoughts like “I’m depressed, or life is bad, or that person is so stupid,” you are judging that person, and this creates an energetic bomb to be launched on you as well as the other person. You could create a balm instead by hearing your own soul’s higher guidance in your thoughts and emotions. That’s why spiritual transformation or spiritual awakening has to begin from within your own thoughts and own emotions.

Here’s an example. Some business owner is convinced that people don’t like their products or that the products are not going to sell, this sends out a message to the universe and programs the whole situation around those products and business. Whatever thought we project is going to be picked up on by customers. I know that when I’m relaxed and allowing (in a non-resistant state of flow with Spirit), I know and believe that good things surround and support me. I can feel the presence of divine beings helping me.

There have been times when I’ve not been in that place and I feel like I’m not supported, that nobody cares, I’m always on my own, and I’m always having to take care of myself. Then, when I shift my beliefs, low and behold, things change! What are you thinking about today in regards to a situation that needs to be improved? What in your mind and feelings can shift to create a positive change?

Are You Having Depression?

I’ve said it many times that we are changing and that old, unresolved issues are coming up to be healed. As a result, some people are in a dark place and not sure what is going on in their lives. Maybe they are going through depression and can’t seem to get out of it.
Whenever our emotions are in distress or our bodies manifest an illness, they are giving us a message that we need to pay attention to. The accelerated energy that is near the earth now due to our planetary alignment is causing us to begin shifting our beliefs—conscious and unconscious.

Anything that no longer serves our highest good is rising to the surface to be dealt with. So if you are going through an illness, mental disturbance, or emotional turmoil such as a loss of job, there’s something coming to the light. It’s wise to pay attention to this message. Go ahead and delve into the emotion and see what Spirit’s message is and ask “How can I change this? What do I need to know or let go of in order to receive the gift in this situation?” It’s not a matter of avoiding the symptoms or say, “I must get healed or else!” Instead, ask. “What is the lesson in this experience?” or “What is the truth in this illness or discomfort I’m having?” or “What needs to shift within my thinking or subconscious beliefs?”

I went through depression in 1999 as was going through a divorce after 22 years of marriage. As I look back, I realize that my empathic abilities we out of control and I needed to learn how to manage energy. There were some things that I had to change within myself in order to get past the depression, but as I look back, I see those were some of the sweetest times of fellowship with Spirit. Being at a place where I had to go inward to discover what I truly believed was very beneficial. I had to own my truth for myself rather than just accepting what had been handed down to me from my family, society, or church. It was a great spiritual reckoning that brought me to a place of being able to define my personal truth.

There’s a gift in depression and hardship; even though it looks bad on the outside, if you will walk through it you will find it leads you to the sacred heart space to find your personal treasure. What I mean by being non-resistant is to look at what’s occurring for you. Don’t ignore it, don’t pretend like it’s not there, don’t cover it up or medicate with recreational drugs, alcohol, food, or other substances to avoid the pain. Instead, look at what the pain is trying to teach you. Find the gift in the moment of suffering and know that you can shift your life experience by shifting your attitude, thoughts, beliefs, and emotions.

New Sensations and Vision in Spiritual Awakening

Seeing auras, having new sensations, being empathic, and seeing different colors you’ve never seen before are all signs of spiritual awakening. If you are an empath you may be like a forerunner among your friends and family as you seem to spiritually open up ahead of others.

We are awakening to other dimensions than just our 3D world. Our physical eyes are opening up, our spiritual eyes are opening up, our sensate being is opening up we’re feeling things, seeing things, hearing things that we’ve not heard, seen, or felt before. It’s not the floaties you see in your eye, and it’s not something in your Eye. You see something shimmering in your vision then all of a sudden it’s gone and you wonder “What was that?”

Or you see things in your peripheral vision and when you turn your head, there’s nothing there, Yet, you know you saw something. Others are having body sensations, it which it feels like somebody is touching you, tickling you, or tingling in the crown of the head. These are all the signs that you are opening up and awakening to higher dimensions. We’re going to see this increase more as we move through this great shift.

I dedicated an entire chapter in my new book, Shifting into Purer Consciousness ~ Integrating Spiritual Transformation with the Human Experience to talking about the signs of ascension.

Another sign of spiritual awakening is the urge to purge through decluttering, detoxing, and simplifying life. They may be tossing, giving away, or repurposing items. More and more people are downsizing as they realize they simply don’t need so much stuff. Materialism is taking a backseat to spiritual pursuits.

Some have a sense of re-connecting with Mother Goddess by growing their own food. Doing anything to reconnect with the Earth itself is very important because it’s helps to ground some of the accelerated energies and return the Earth to its pristine origins. I can hardly stay indoors this summer. I have this urge to sit outside, walk in the woods, or get in the water. There is something definitely changing. What is happening in your life?

The Author’s Personal Shift While Writing Ascension Book

The process of writing my new book, Shifting into Purer Consciousness ~ Integrating Spiritual Transformation with the Human Experience, caused me to go through quite a shift physically, mentally, and emotionally. I know for certain that the book carries the energy of transformation and transmutation!

It was January 2011 when I first knew I was going to be writing this book, but at the time I was writing Whose Stuff is This?, so I put it on the back burner in order to get that book out there. When I had time to start working on it, I came back to the manuscript that I had started in the early 2000s. Once I set my intention to diligently work on this book, I had a visitation from an angelic being in a higher realm; it was actually a counterpart of my soul. This energy or being rested upon me and for 12 days and I was in intense bliss. I had never felt joy like that before. I even smelled a heavenly fragrance that only I could smell. It was 24/7, that beautiful fragrance! Ahhh! Then two weeks later, just as quickly as it came, it left. I was disappointed to say the least! Where’s my bliss? What happened to the fragrance? Hello?

During that heavenly period, I received a download from a nomad, oversoul, or higher dimensional soul that endowed me with the power, the “anointing of the Holy Spirit” as we called it in my Pentecostal days, to write this book.

Like most “bump ups” in energy, that visitation came with rapid spiritual growth and some huge personal changes. There I was healthy and going about my business thinking the world just couldn’t be better and then in a matter of three months I was just so weak I could hardly walk to the mailbox and back. It felt as though my physical body was falling apart. I went to my doctor thinking all the symptoms I was having (too many to mention) must be menopause—my hormones must be off or something. She could offer no explanation and gave absolutely no treatment! As I continued to spiral downward, I felt angry at my doctor, but looking back, I realize that her complacency about my condition caused me to seek treatment in a more natural and holistic manner than the synthetic drugs she might have prescribed. The side effects are worse than the symptoms on most prescription drugs these days! Half the commercial is taken up by telling us what can go wrong if you take the product being promoted!

I now realize that I was being cleaned up from the inside out. Everything that wasn’t working for my body was coming up to be flushed out all at once. I was determined to get help, so I found a medical doctor (naturopath) who uses natural products and phyto or plant-based products in order to address at least five things going berserk within my body. He monitored my progress on some very powerful supplements that aided the balancing and rebuilding of my physical body. I am well again now.

My toxic diet had to change because it was destroying my body, negatively affecting my emotions, and interfering with my ability to receive clear spiritual guidance. I could not return to the way I was eating before; and thankfully, the grace to make this permanent shift has been there every step of the way. I would not have been able to consistently maintain a plant-based, sugar-free, gluten-free eating plan prior to this shift.

Where Are We Headed As a Society?

Society is currently a controlling, competitive, manipulative, greed-based system of the dog-eat-dog world in which many people are barely surviving. We are moving to a matriarchal, divine feminine (goddess energy) mindset that is more nurturing and community-oriented. There, we will be more aligned with the Earth and concerned about helping one another rather than taking advantage of one another. We are seeing this shift toward equality through efforts such as Occupy Wall Street (and other cities). These grassroots movements are causing great shifts and calling out the injustice of organizations that are not aligned with the divine feminine.

We are all being urged very strongly to make changes and realize how valuable Earth really is. We can’t live without Her and we can no longer ignore our connection to her. The more we are connected with Mother Gaia (Nature), the more we will care for her and ourselves—and the more we will care for one another.

I also believe we are going to see a huge change in allopathic medicine. For so long we’ve viewed our body, mind, and spirit as separate. When we treat one part of the body without considering the impact it has on the whole system, we are destroying the temple of our Spirit. We cannot keep treating symptoms and throwing a pill at our disconnected condition. Over dependence upon pharmaceuticals has allowed us to ignore what is really going on rather than dealing with what is causing the problem. Our health is always related to our thoughts and feelings. In the shift, I see people treating themselves with natural substances and supplements and eating consciously to maintain optimal health.
