Emotional Wisdom

It has been said that we as human thinkers and feelers are of two minds. We have a thinking rational unemotional mind and we have a feeling, sensing emotional mind with which to navigate the world we live in.

Our two minds work in tandem to help us make choices about what is the right action to take, based on the true feeling being experienced and the truth of the circumstances at hand. These two minds operate in tight harmony as both make up our inner guidance system so vital to our survival and ability to thrive.

Our emotional feeling mind often hijacks our thinking mind in a moment of distress. The rational mind is the balancer for the more impulsive feeling part of our guidance system. When emotion runs high the emotional mind has the upper hand, swamping the rational mind and taking charge of the decision-making process.

Additionally when some event seems familiar to an emotionally-charged past memory, the emotional mind responds by evoking the same feelings that comprised the past event. In this way the emotional mind reacts to the present as though it were the past and can actually recreate the internal experience regardless of how irrational this might seem once the emotion has cooled. Primary relationships can be destroyed in this manner.

This is where the Emotional Freedom Techniques shine as they return the emotional mind to the present situation and allow the rational mind to fulfill its purpose of establishing balance. Tense emotions can cool in a moment, shifting unnecessary distortion and distress. The regular use of EFT can change illogical responses by systematically clearing negative emotionally-charged history from mind and body.

Taking a companion on the inner path toward emotional freedom is a wise choice, particularly when your companion is trained in the Art of Delivery for the EFT tapping method.
