HOW DOES IT WORK?

Strong emotions felt from events in our lives, such as betrayal, trauma or loss, alter the way we feel inside our body. We usually place our attention on the cause of the event, which is outside of us. The brain stores that pattern neurologically, which is how long term memories are created. Later, when we have a similar, strong emotional experience, it catches the brain's attention and we begin to think within the same neurological pattern, as in the past experience. Chemically we are driven to feel within the boundaries of the emotions we have practiced in the past.

It is becoming common knowledge that how we think and feel determines the state of our being. If we don't know how to mediate or integrate our emotional reaction to life events, and keep the flow of stress-induced chemicals going on for a period of time, that event produces a chemical change and the body will be out of homeostatic balance. If it cannot return it to balance, due to the elongation of that emotional reaction for days or weeks, our body becomes addicted the new chemicals, our mood is altered and anything outside of those ongoing emotions, begins to feel uncomfortable. If we keep that mood lingering for weeks or months it becomes a temperament. Subsequently, keeping that emotional reaction going on for years, eventually develops into a personality trait.

Becoming addicted and accustomed to a comfort zone of emotions, which do not serve our highest good, can be difficult to alter, just like an addiction to alcohol and smoking. However, when our ability to focus is improved to function more effectively, by developing a heightened sense of objective awareness, clarity and reflection, with a variety of techniques and exercises, we can in fact change and create our own reality, of a life we are excited to live.
