Hi
This is what Michael Mohoric wrote about Emotions and if they arise how you can cope with them.

EMOTIONS

The energy sessions can have a lot of energy to assist one to heal their heart on many levels. After a session people can feel very calm and peaceful or they may feel emotional. These are both positive outcomes and one is not better than the other. Emotional release plays a very important role in the healing process. I would like to offer some suggestions on how one can be more comfortable with any emotions that may arise.

Please do not compare what you get out of the sessions with what other people write. Some people have strong reactions and others do not. It is all valid and everyone is different. Some people may have a strong session one time and more quiet the next time as the energy works on different levels. When the energy is working more on the mental level then the sessions will tend to be more quiet than if working on the emotional or physical level.

As the energy begins to clear energetic blockages in the organs, emotions can be released. From a Qigong perspective, much disease is caused by emotional repression. The repressed emotions get stored in the organs and tissue, causing energetic blockages that can hinder the free flow of energy. Things start to back up and circulation can be reduced to the organs and physical toxins can also then begin to accumulate.

In Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine each organ stores a specific repressed emotion. The liver stores anger, the lungs store sadness, the kidneys store fear and the spleen stores worry.

Sometimes people say they are feeling anxious. Anxiety is often the resistance of an underlying emotion manifesting as a body feeling. It is like a lid on a pressure cooker holding down the underlying emotion and this results in a feeling of anxiety. Many times the feeling is fear but it can also be sadness or anger or a combination of all of them. Anger, fear and sadness are the three primary emotions. So if one is feeling anxious then they are probably resisting an underlying emotion.

A way to help shift the anxious feeling is to stop and realize that one is repressing an emotion. Stop and go into the anxiety and you can can ask yourself, what emotion am I resisting feeling? And sit with that for a bit. Then you might say to yourself; am I feeling scared? Or just say I am feeling scared. Say this a few times for several minutes and see if there is any change in what you are feeling. Do the same with anger and sadness. When you hit on the right emotion then you might feel a shift, maybe you will feel the grief come up or the anger or the fear. Just sit with this for as long as it takes and if you will fully experience the emotion then the anxiety will leave and after awhile the emotion may shift, depending how much energy there is behind it. You may have to go through all the emotions because sometimes there is more than one. Once you experience the emotion you may then feel calm and peaceful until something else arises.

Once you have experienced the emotion, fill yourself with light and love because we all are great spiritual beings.

The best way to deal with any emotion or feeling is to face it and not run away because it is uncomfortable. The emotions are something that need to be brought out into the light so that we can heal. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to hold emotions down and when we can release that energy then we have a whole lot more energy available to us. If we want something to go away, then we are resisting it. If we resist, it causes more tension and suffering. If we can go into our pain and surrender to it then usually the pain will lessen a great deal.

Unfortunately so many of us are conditioned to not experience our emotions. We are taught that fear, anger and sadness can be bad so we try and hold them down to our detriment. Emotions are part of being human.

Another thing that can repress emotions is a feeling or thought of being a victim. This is sometimes very unconscious because it can be taught to us very early or as young children we may feel that we aren’t capable of protecting ourselves or getting our needs met. We need to rely on others and we can give ourselves messages that we are helpless. Also this energy pattern can be passed down from generation to generation so it can be very strong conditioning.

It can be difficult to fully experience and release underlying emotions if one feels like a victim. One way to work with this is to tell yourself that I am feeling like a victim. Just by telling yourself the truth where you are, can begin to shift the victim energy. The next thing that one can do is get very firm with the part of them that is feeling or thinking like a victim and to very firmly tell the victim part of you that you are not a victim and that you are not going to let it run your life anymore. Sometimes getting angry at this aspect can help to shift it. It may take awhile to do this and it can come up again and again. It may take some time to wear down a pattern like this if we have had it since childhood.

Once we shift from victim then we can again experience the underlying emotions. If one feels or thinks like they can’t handle a situation or life then they my be stuck in victim energy. Also feeling overwhelmed can be a sign of victim. The truth is everyone has the power to handle every situation in their life. Hopelessness is a lie that has been told to us or we have told ourselves that we can’t handle things.

Some people are experiencing difficult times in their lives right now. Often people wonder why bad things are happening to them. I remember hearing a sage speak one time that said many very spiritual people sometimes have difficult lives because they have chosen to burn off a lot of karma, for those who believe in karma. Also much is learned about compassion through suffering.

Often difficult situations offer us great opportunities for growth and learning. Sometimes when we get beat up by life, it can be a very humbling experience. When I had my spinal cord injury I was facing being a quadriplegic with someone else having to take care of my every need. This was an incredible humbling experience for me and there was no way I could control the situation. So in what looked like a tragic situation, I learned some incredible things that I may not have gotten otherwise.

I don’t believe that we have to have harsh things happen to us to get our lessons. If we are open and willing to look at ourselves then I think the growth process can be much easier and fun.

Some incredible heart openings happen with people who are going through difficult situations. In these monthly groups there are people with advanced cancer and paralyzed people in wheelchairs. Many people who are facing possibly losing their lives can begin to face what is really important to them. They can get really in the moment because death can be right around the corner. Their hearts can open and they can live more authentic lives.

Many people in the AIDS community have experienced their hearts opening from their tragic experiences. So if you are having a difficult time you may just be dusting off the coal to expose the diamond underneath or like the Phoenix rising out of the ashes.

I believe that we going through an incredible time in human history that so many ancient traditions have spoken about for thousands of years. There are many previous hidden teachings coming to us now to help us with our journey. There is tremendous light at the end of the tunnel.
