Harmonious Pulsation: Navigating Emotions With Ease

Simply bringing your attention to the movement of your body brings about change and increased vitality.

So,

Too,

Bringing attention to our emotions can bring about greater freedom,

Increasing your energy and your sense of well-being where your emotional life is concerned.

Think of a person in your life with whom you have recurring difficulty,

With some emotional intensity on your part.

It might be a lover,

A friend,

A family member,

Or a colleague.

Create in your imagination the challenging situation you have with that person and let yourself feel the emotions that you usually experience in that situation.

Now reduce the intensity of these emotions,

Remembering that it is all in your imagination.

Pause and let yourself experience this feeling of lowered intensity.

Now deliberately increase the intensity of your emotions,

Perhaps even exaggerating what you usually experience with that person.

Pause and experience that feeling for a moment.

Reduce the intensity again.

Do this four or five times.

Now take this into real life.

When you do,

You will notice that two things begin to occur as you reduce your emotional intensity.

One,

You will be able to become more attuned to the other person and better hear what he or she is trying to say.

And two,

You will be more alert and able to come up with new ideas,

Feelings,

Behaviors and solutions.

What you are also likely to find is that the other person will feel more at ease and less defensive in your presence.
