Emotions
Use these insights and primers for whichever emotions fit each of your clients.
Fear
Fear, as an emotion, isn’t good or bad—it’s useful in some situations for some durations. Fear can protect us. But excess fear can become counter-productive and even dangerous. Now your subconscious mind can find ways for you to keep all the positive things that fear used to do, but without excess fear.
Anger
Anger isn’t good or bad—it’s an understandable reaction to an event, for some time. Anger can give us the energy we need to fight for justice in that moment, against that person. But once that reasonable situation and duration are in the past, it’s counter-productive to take that anger with us into other situations, with other people.
Any excess feeling of injustice is burning in just us. Anger burns those that hold on to it. Being forgiving, and letting go of a painful anger, creates a space for clarity and peace.
Sadness
Sadness often arises when something precious seems to end. This sadness is not separate from love—it is your love wearing a different face.
You could try to rise above sadness. But sometimes it is wiser to sit with sadness, to feel it fully in your chest, to notice that it softens you.
When you look closely, you may discover that nothing is ever truly lost. Not a single atom, not a single spark of energy, not a single echo of the laughter you shared. The form changes, but the essence remains in ways you can sense if you grow quiet enough.
In every tear, there is the memory of love. In every ache, there is proof of belonging. This, too, is a kind of peace—not the peace of rising above feeling, but the peace of knowing that love never really goes anywhere.
As you are breathing now, feel each breath arriving, each breath leaving. Not one of them disappears. Each becomes something else. So it is with everything you have ever loved.
Revenge
A desire to make them feel your pain keeps you locked in a cycle of suffering. There may not be such a thing as satisfactory revenge. Everyone pays for their own actions, without you having to be judge and executioner. You can be free from judging them and attacking them back.
Guilt
People with a desire for punishment tend to receive it, but many times more punishment than required to even things out. So it’s almost certain that you have suffered enough.
Now you don’t have to suffer anymore. And you don't have to invite others to play a role in punishing you. You can make a new vow:
"Now I no longer hold any guilt or desire any punishment, so we both may be released from a cycle of suffering into peace."
Pain & Power
You can realize they were not acting out of real power or strength, but acting out of their pain and weakness. You can break the cycle and realize your real power and strength is in calm, clarity, confidence, and peace.
Compassion
You have realized that for that person, in many ways, their life experience and state of mind is already a punishment. You can break the cycle for yourself, so you are freed from their influence.
You don’t act out of your pain to punish. You act out of your power to forgive and allow natural justice to take its course, while you focus on your own wisdom of compassion.
