Emotions doing things to energy

[WalkerInTheWoods]

These things can really bring you down. But you need to learn to let them go and just forget about them. When people try to put you down you should try to understand the truth behind this. When someone puts you down you should actually take it as a compliment because deep down the person actually finds something about you superior to themself and not being able to handle this they try to degrade you to make themself feel better.

Go to http://www.emofree.com .... download their free manual which is PRICELESS ... read it ... learn it ... DO IT. Now,   the information contained therein will help you to REMOVE the EMOTIONAL BLOCKAGES that cause you to feel this way.

This method, called EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) would be a perfect addition to NEW, as well!

Enjoy!

Cheers!

With every 'little' thing that winds us up, you will find some 'big' thing in the background.  Like for you, the issue is "being called slow".  If that horn didn't press your buttons you would have forgotten it in a minute.  These type of issues are always blocks in our energy flow.  Problem is, you never quite know where the blocks are until somebody/something/event happens and all the emotions come out.  It's good to be shown, (even though it makes you mad) then you can work on it.

Yes its a pain,But an unnessary one..I use to get ticked off alot when stuff like that happened.Especially if I knew I didnt do anything wrong.We gotta learn to just let that stuff roll off us.Im getting better at it,slowly.And sometimes I get a good laugh when stuff like that happens now.

It seems as though everybody is always in this huge rush,and alot of them have no reason to be.You may sit  there for an extra 2 seconds at a green light.People start honking like there house is on fire.Have some patience sheesh.http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile_tongue.gif" border=0>

That mystifies me though because this was no two second delay in moving, not even close.  I don't know how I could have moved faster without being a little reckless or some kind of elite expert.  Then again, sometimes elite experts let it go to their head and become contemptuous of the general public (I've heard political comments by such persons and sometimes they're scary), so maybe we have one of those.

Thank you all for your thoughts.  It looks like the EFT works best when one gets the full program.   I did come accross the written downloadable a couple years ago.  When I can afford the whole thing I should give the issue another look.  It also seems to me that a good foundation in energy work would be good to have first so that everything "works" correctly.  So in the meantime, my slow progress in NEW may have to suffice.

i cant say that ive tried different things that have helped me react differently to those type of situations. i've always found that i am the most passive person that i know. i do have reasons for it though. i believe those situations would be handled better if looked upon as you were an observer, which you really are, and not someone participating in the situation. i've never done this but the way i act can be described as someone taking mental notes of the situation around them. since you're only taking notes, there is no reason to get emotional. aside from taht reason not to get emotional, there just isn't any other reason at all to get emotional. actually, there is no reason at all for any type of a reaction, unless there is some sort of physical altercation.

this is something i have been thinking about lately. i havent finished on it so there may be holes in it. i'd like to be able to fix those holes because it seems like something that could make a good amount of sense. i've been giving some thought to how we view other people. if someone does act in some way that's not in accordance to our way of thinking, usually there is a negative label put on that person or situation. that guy cut you off, you get mad and think he's a poophead. this person acted a certain way for a reason. i won't go into right and wrong here but, the act was carried out because at that time a decision was made to do so. the decision was made from thoughts that person had. even if there was something in the back of this perons mind that said this isnt the way to do this, it was still done. so there had to be a valid reason in their mind to act this way. it was genuinely felt that this situation should be handled in this manner, much like you handled the situation in the manner you saw fit. if we could understand exactly what the thought process was, maybe there would be less labeling and more understanding. hence, not reacting. sure there would be a point where you didnt agree w/ what was done, but you would see waht was being thought at the time and see that even if you didnt agree w/ it, there was a reason behind it.

this gets a little deeper and is the part i'm still giving much thought to. when a thought is birthed, where does it come from? aside from memory and the way we grew up.  whethere or not  we can identify this place, is it safe to identify this place w/ "us" , or "we" or "i"? is this our true nature? if so, is it our fault that we react to situations in certain ways? if this is us then how can we be at fault? i'm not talking about premeditiated actions here.  if you truly feel that what you are doing is not something you should be doing, have time to think about it, and you follow through w/ it, i belive it's safe to say that you are at fault, or wrong. w/ regard to situations like this one, someone beeping their horn at you, is someone at fault here, or better than that, is there anything at all to be mad at? in situations like these the reaction is so immediate that i sometimes entertain that the person that perfomed the action that i thought innapropriate is no different than i . we both had thoughts which led to actions and they were both carried out. i debate w/ myself if should i take credit for acting the way i do , or if blame should be put on  someone else for immediately reacting they way they did. sure we can be taught to react differently to certain situations, especially ones that let anger arise. if we don't learn this, and it has been suggested, where does the fault lay? couldn't things be looked at as just a diffrence in opinion, or genetic even?

this is something that comes to mind, it may not fit in here but i'll include it. there are kids that ride around (i'm 23 btw, still a kid myself) w/ chrome on top of their wheel wells and loud mufflers, that do so because they truly feel that this is "cool" for lack of a better word. i don't think it can even be proven that it's not cool. i personally don't believe it is, and the majority of the people that i hang around w/ during the day i believe to be intelligent people, agree w/ me. maybe to generalize a little better...the outwardly appearance that is expressed here genuinely makes the person doing so, feel better about themself. i can't help to think as ridiculous as i think some of the things are, that are done today, they are as legitimate as the opposing arguments against them, because of what they accomplish inside the person carrying them out.

it would be nice if this came across how i'm thinking about it. it's a good amount of thought shoved into two paragraphs. but i'm prepared to try and fill in the gaps if there are some found. everything here should be taken as lightly as possible, as not to offend. i just very much like a  good discussion.

Hello everyone

I was coming out onto the city street today and had to get into the left lane quickly to make my turn, which I did reasonably and successfully.  However, a pickup truck (I drive a medium sized sedan) that had just pulled in from a nearby intersection did wind up behind me and was, as it turns out, making the same left turn.  I had to wait a bit for traffic to clear and turned as soon as I could, as any sensible person would do.  We're talking having my foot off the brake and ready to go before the last car was past and all that good stuff.  Fine, right?  But this guy behind me in the truck beeps as I'm making my move.  So I'm thinking, "Who does this jerk think he is?  He'll problably tell his buddies that I wouldn't have turned if he hadn't beeped, the ^%#$&%^$&." So after completing the turn I slow down a little extra to spite him, but then he pulls in behind a line of cars accross from a fire station.  

So then I start thinking that here might be a fireman, problably an expert in making left turns in heavy traffic with bare millimeters to spare, impatient at my average Joe driver judgement call, on account of being filled with a firefighter's unique type of 9-11 anniversary emotions.  Maybe I should just understand that.  So the guilt starts in.  Not for long though, for by the time I reach home parking, a minute later, I'm mad at the $**&^*$%#% again.

As I get out of my car, I finally catch myself and remind myself with the phrase, "This is the crap I've gotta transcend."  That whole string of emotions and that urge to avenge or spite someone.

In addition, the horn was wimpy for a pickup truck anyway, so maybe it was coming from the radio. (It was carrying a report live out of New York City, where a person who doesn't wear out a horn every year is problably felt guilty of a high crime.)

You know, in situations like this, which happen all the time in traffic, it is hard to make like some kind of Tibetan monk who levitates himself out of sheer peacefulness.  

But it does do things to a person's energy, and it seems to me, does call for transcendence.  There is also baggage with this.  Being called "slow" has been a sore point with me since around the age of 6 or 7.  I get a little paranoid about people trying to declare me inferior, which adds to my anger whenever things like that happen.  (Some of you may remember that "Their holy privilege but not yours" thing from the PSD forum a while ago.)

This sort of thing seems like a blocker to energy work.  Are there any suggestions beyond the usual "meditate" advice?  In a forum like this, suggesting that somebody meditate is like suggesting that they breathe air or eat food.  Kind of a no brainer.

Anyway, thoughts?
