Learn How to Listen to Your Wisest Guide and Start Living a Happier and Contented LifeWhy do we get emotionally upset in certain situations for no good reason? How come certain people simply annoy us, no matter what they say or do? How can we better trust our impulses? What can we do to allow our emotions to flow through us without harming our self or others?The primary method by which our inner self (soul if you like) communicates with our conscious mind is through our feelings and emotions. Our inner self is our font of wisdom and always has our best interests at heart, but the problem we all have when it comes to pursuing a happy and purposeful life is that we rarely listen to what our inner self is telling us about why we have certain feelings and what our emotions are trying to communicate.The primary intent of this book is to help you realize the difference between the energies of your feelings and emotions so that you can consciously understand and utilize both. Its aim is to bring clarity on what a feeling or emotion is telling you about your current situation—what you’re doing to yourself in the moment—and how to then go about addressing any negative feelings and/or emotions.The seeming chaos happening in the world—political unrest, religious fundamentalism, economic inequality, climate change, and environmental catastrophes—reflect humanity’s internal psychical upheaval. A “shift in consciousness” is upon us that will eventually have us appreciate how our beliefs, along with our thoughts, feelings, and emotions, create our physical reality. Personal beliefs act as our ‘possibility filters’ in the creation process and negative emotions guide us to the beliefs we hold that are distorting the outcome. As our metaphysical friend Seth informs us:"The nature of your personal beliefs in a large measure directs the kinds of emotions you will have at any given time. You will feel aggressive, happy, despairing, or determined according to events that happen to you, your beliefs about yourself in relation to them, and your ideas of who and what you are." (Roberts, J. (1974) The Nature of Personal Reality: A Seth Book. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall Inc. p. 230.)This book provides answers as to why you:Feel excitedGet angryFeel happyBecome fearfulFeel the loveGet depressedFeel contentedGet envious or jealousFeel joyousFeel guilty orFeel unworthyThis book will get you to trust in your feelings. You will learn how to control your negative emotions by allowing them to flow freely into nonviolent expression. And you will be able to safely release negative emotional charge from your “emotional body.”Humanity’s collective shift in consciousness is happening right now, and its influence is accelerating. It will affect us all directly or indirectly in the coming years as the psychological ramifications percolate through to our personal portion of the psyche. We are becoming aware that we indeed create our own reality, both personally and collectively, and are changing our perceptions (through addressing our beliefs) in accordance with this realization.Being consciously aware of what’s happening and taking responsibility for your own creations by listening to the messages of your feelings and emotions will ease your passage through this collective experience.Practice listening to your inner self, instill a heart-felt trust in your feelings—especially one of excitement—and heed the messages of your emotions.Invest in your Self by investing in this book—click on the "Look Inside" feature to review the contents page and then listen to how you feel about getting it.
