WHAT IS EMOTION? ‘Emotere’ energy in motion (e-motion) Subtle, energetic forces. Mental phenomena passing through the awareness. Emotions are neither good nor bad— they are simply feelings to be felt. Psychology becomes our biology Emotions are universal, changeable, impermanent.

NAVIGATING DIFFICULT EMOTIONS Stress, overwhelm, grief, anger, fear, trauma, anxiety, depression etc. We transcend pain not by dismissing, avoiding, suppressing, manipulating it, identifying with it. Shine the light of awareness into the shadows. Give space for the pain to move through it. Greatest challenges in life greatest teachers. The power of letting go.

THE CONCIOUS & SUBCONCIOUS MIND Subconscious Mind 90% Conscious Mind 10% Thinking Analyzing Planning Short-term memory Feeling, emotion Beliefs, values Habits, patterns, addictions Involuntary bodily functions Creativity, imagination Long-term memory Spiritual connection, intuition SAMSKARAS THE FLOW OF MIND Self Belief Thought Emotion Action/ Behavior Version of Reality

MENTAL IMPRESSIONS Samskara Samskara Impression, psychological imprint Positive and negative Samskaras The events of life that didn’t make it through us Stress, anxiety, depression, trauma Events that overwhelm our capacity to cope Leave us feeling helpless, hopeless, out of control or unable to respond Fright, fight, freeze response Stored in the body/mind as a latent trigger

GOALS FOR HEALING Balance the nervous system Overactive (Rajas) / Underactive (Tamasic) Self-soothing and self-regulation Releasing tension and stored emotions Address the underlying cause Rewrite our beliefs (new neural pathways) Intake of positive impressions Promote Sattva in the mind Self-awareness, self-curiosity, selfcompassion, self-acceptance.

WITNESS CONSCIOUSNESS Sakshi Bhava Through meditation and mindful living YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS. You are the one experiencing the thoughts. You are the observer. The witness. Remain as a witness to all experiences. Not pushing anything away. Not becoming involved. Simply observe your mind. Respond vs React Awareness is key to transforming emotions.

“Do not allow yourself to suppress your thoughts. Instead, let the thoughts come before you and become a sort of observer. Start observing your own mind. Do not try to escape; do not be afraid of your thinking.” — Swami Rama

”What am I feeling right now?” 6 STEPS TO EMOTIONAL FREEDOM “I am not the that I feel. I am the one who feels.” 1. OBSERVE Label it. 6. 2. RETURN Samskara Remember. Trigger ACCEPT Welcome it. ”Even though I’m feeling , I love and accept myself.” SELF ”How can I learn/ grow from this experience?” 5. 3. REFLECT FEEL Be with it. Treasure. 4. RELEASE Let it go. ”I let this move through me and out of me.” ”I allow myself to feel this . By feeling this, I am taking care of it.”

You are not your mind, you have a mind. You are not your thoughts, you have thoughts. You are not your emotions, you have emotions. You are not your memories, you have memories. You are not your past, you have a past. You are not your Samskaras, you have Samskaras. You are the Pure Conscious Awareness. Let everything else come and pass.
