WWE III: Emotions and the rollercoaster of your energy

Your energy during emotions

In Part III of the series Working with Energies we try to understand what emotions can do with our energies. By portraying 3 situations, we see how we can become aware of them. And how we can in this way adjust our energy to ensure that we stay more in love.

How emotions affect our energy

An important and very recognizable form of energy change occurs during emotions. Especially negative emotions can have a big impact. Just think about how fear can make someone small. How that can paralyze you to react quickly and properly to a situation. Like when you have to swerve very quickly on the highway to avoid an accident. Or consider how anger can disrupt contact between people. For example, how uttering harsh words or heavy reproaches can ruin a relationship.

An emotion is an inner energy change that shows what you think of someone or something. Or how you for instance judge a situation, an idea or expectation. It can trigger a strong and fast inner energetical change. Which can be very visible. For example, think of blushing, crying or a facial expression like disgust.

Situation I: A young child is scared

You are a young child and sitting on the floor in the living room, playing with your toys. In the adjacent kitchen are mom and dad. They are clearly not very nice to each other. Irritation turns to anger, and you hear harsh words. You feel sad and scared because mom and dad are your trust and support. And if they no longer love each other, can you still be sure of where you will live and with whom?

When this lasts longer or happens more often, something unusual happens: you close yourself off from this existential danger. Your aura makes sure that this low energy of a fight doesn’t reach your energy system. You are now playing in your almost completely shielded own little world. A world that carries a much higher and more loving energy then the momentary world of your parents, when quarreling.

The child has in this case its own, probably unconscious solution, to withdraw itself from negative energies. Mom and dad must learn, despite disagreeing with each other, to keep their energies positive. So that neither they nor their children have to suffer the negative consequences.

Situation II: Emotional dependence and lovelessness

Kiki and Lucas are a young couple taking their first steps into romantic love. After the initial intense infatuation, some cracks begin to appear in their relationship. These express themselves in 2 different ways: Kiki exhibits emotional dependence and Lucas responds with emotional lovelessness.

Lucas feels that Kiki demands all his free time. She feels like am obstacle to him. Kiki, on the other hand, just loved being together all the time. And she feels denied and abandoned as Lucas begins to become less in love and more distant. Both are beginning to learn that their love energy toward each other has changed. And that the situation they are in now calls for an adjustment in their relationship. By understanding each other’s feelings and attitudes (in fact, being aware of each other’s energy), they learn to deal with the first major disappointment in love.

It is important that Kiki and Lucas adapt their energy to the changing situation. But stay in a positive energy, so that they don’t hurt each other emotionally. And still continue to enjoy seeing each other. Therefore both their desires need to be in harmony with each other.

Situation III: Sad and desperate parents

The two parents are desperate because their child didn’t return from school. Nobody knows where it is. First there were the accusations. Mother would be home as usual when the child would come home from school. But mother had said in the morning that she would be back from work late this day. Father would therefore come home earlier today. But in the rush to get to work on time in the morning, this understanding didn’t quite reach the mind of father.

At some point, the parents no longer oppose each other. Their energy changes from blame and despair to grief and guilt. They also now seek support from each other. As if sensing this energetic change and no longer feeling threatened, the child (it had been hiding in a bush not far from home) suddenly reappears. Excited because its parents are Together and One again. And knowing that his parents are happy: with their child and with each other.

This situation starts negative, with the question of guilt, and with the despair and sadness. But the parents find back to each other (and to harmony). And in that way to the good vibrations. Rewarded with a happy ending.

Improving a negative emotional life

Many changing energies are often difficult to recognize, especially when conscious Working with Energies isn’t something you do often. Emotions on the other hand are well recognizable. The trick then is to discern well whether an emotion serves you or doesn’t. And to change it if that is more beneficial to you. Whereby it is better not to suppress the emotion, but to look at what exactly is behind that emotion. And then try to change this positively. This way you also learn to Work with Energies on an emotional level. And to change a possibly negative emotional life into a positive emotional life. See also Emotional Harmony, the attunement that can help you with that.
