The challenge for any kind of advanced meditation is that many individuals are not taught, or realise the significance of knowing one’s own thoughts and emotions. You need to make the effort to recognise and understand yourself, your thoughts, emotions and dreams as an indispensable part of any means to awaken the inner self via endeavours such as meditation. Knowing yourself and building mastery of your thoughts and emotions is an often forgotten aspect in your journey to awaken your Inner self. You should aim to transform every adverse or negative emotion into positive aspects and come to be the master of your life.
People frequently wonder what is the true nature of emotions anyway? Thoughts and emotions are energies, like light itself, they are all an energy particle and energy wave at the same time. At the simplest level, emotions are lower-level responses taking place within areas of the brain and mental form, in response to stimuli and thoughts. Emotions themselves are usually brief in duration, yet can cause longer-term mental associations which are stored within various component parts of your being. Gradually, your emotional responses become subjectively combined with your personal experience, beliefs and memories to produce your feelings.
It needs to be understood that subduing or suppressing emotions can be detrimental as you proceed with any kind of spiritual development. Suppressing an emotion means that the emotion still exists within you, however, it is concealed behind the scenes. Then as you advance and the energy of your Life Force or inner being enlivens, these energies will be transformed into magnetic energies by your physical mechanism. Such magnetic energies can then feed any kind of hidden or concealed emotions. Such emotions will continue to grow through this energy source and can turn into an explosive outburst of emotion. As this emotional outburst now has more energy than formerly possible, it can cause more damage within your body mechanism in addition to causing increased strife and repercussions in your life. Take the opportunity to observe and be aware of your emotional reactions, so you can choose how to respond, instead of just reacting in life.
