Emotions are the driving factors of life. Every act of conscious or unconscious always driven by a specific emotion. Movement (motion) and emotions are both derived from the Latin "movere" which means to move.
Years ago I never heard Ven Sri Paññavaro Mahathera said, "the human mind consists of thoughts, feelings, memories, and consciousness. The fourth component of this is the provocateur was feeling".
He's my opinion always remember. Now, as someone who studied technology and in particular clinical hypnotherapist mind, I came to the same conclusion. All actions of a person, whatever it is, is always based on one or several specific emotions.
But I do not stop just here. I watched long enough, studying, and curious about the emotions. In the clinical context, which always makes me curious is why positive emotions (eg, happy, happy, happy) difficult to maintain, even if we really want to feel or experience it as long as possible, while negative emotions (eg, sadness, hurt, disappointed, anger, fear, anxiety) so hard removable, although we have tried to remove it? What causes this?
After we experience positive emotions subside and disappear automatically. Instead of negative emotions, so show up and we feel, usually last long enough. And still could emerge again when triggered by a stimulus that is similar to that previously gave rise.
Most experts agree with the existence of basic emotions, which are very strong, which is the source of other emotions. Although not yet achieved consensus on the primary emotion but in general discussion of the four basic emotions always include the following emotions: fear, happy, sad, and angry.
Great thinker Rene Descartes says that there are six basic emotions of love, hate, admiration, desire, happy, and sad. While the German philosopher Immanuel Kant said that there are five basic emotions: love, hope, humble, happy and sad. In his book published in 1890, Principles of Psychology, William James, father of American psychology, simplified into four basic emotions: love, fear, sadness, and anger. Every emotion, according to James, is the combination of these four basic emotions.
Many writers and therapists define emotions as good or bad, positive or negative. It's not quite right. Every emotion is normal and is a form of communication from the subconscious to the conscious mind. Each message contains a specific emotion that needs to be understood. For the sake of ease of discussion in this article I use the "label" for the positive emotions that make us feel comfortable and negative emotions that make us uncomfortable.
People are often confused between expression (expression) and experience (experience) emotions. Experiencing emotion is what one feels in his body. While the expression of emotion is what one does because of emotion. Involve emotional sensation experienced at the self while emotional expression involves action beyond self.
The expression of emotions include movement, occurs on the outside of the body, and produces a physical sensation. Experiencing emotion involving a feeling that can be felt in the physical body in a certain region, which is centered on the torso (trunk consisting of chest, back, and abdomen) and does not involve movement of the body.
Emotions rarely appear alone, they do not stand alone, but interact with other emotions. Generally some emotions appear and fade simultaneously. And more often than one emotion arises first and then trigger other emotions with a first emotion is faded or missing.
The most frequently encountered or experienced that emotion of fear, sadness, and shame triggers anger. This occurs because of the emotion of fear, sadness, and shame painful nature. To avoid the pain of these emotions activate the subconscious mind of other emotions as anger that are expansive and strengthen individual. Angry make us forget the painful emotions.
There are emotions that are expansive, encouraging us to move outwards themselves, interact with the environment, while others are contractionary, cause us to withdraw from the environment.
Emotions that are expansive, among others, happy, love, anger, self-confident. While the emotions that are contractive include sadness, shame, a sense of betrayal, loneliness, and fear. Emotions are also contracting contraction organs and glands in the body region where the emotion is felt.
Contraction caused by the emotion gripping organ tissue, blocking the flow of blood and nutrients, and inhibit organ to function normally and optimally. This contraction will continue for these painful emotions are still there. When emotion is lost, automatically stop contractions, and organs return to normal operation.
Fritz Perls, father of Gestalt, saying that emotions have a life span that includes one birth and one death, one early and one late. Emotions unresolved and will remain alive in us, continue to disrupt our lives until they are fully experienced, thorough, used up, and finishes.
Stay within ourselves and live unresolved emotions (negative emotions) are derived from all the trauma we've experienced. We are no longer aware of the existence of those who have buried deep in the subconscious mind, but they still exist and actively influencing every thought, speech, and actions. Emotions continue to live and be active even though the events that trigger these emotions has ended.
Painful emotions can only be lost if he experienced fully, learn, and resolved by the individual. Another way is to give a new meaning to the initiating events that lead to the emergence of these emotions. The problem is even though the initial emotion has been successfully neutralized, with re- purposing, it turns out there are other events in the series of life events that contain one type of emotion and character strengthens previous emotions. It also needs to be neutralized to achieve optimum results in an attempt to overcome or eliminate disturbing emotions.
All emotion is good, because it serves to provide information, direction, and motivation that will help us create a happy life. Emotions generated by the subconscious mind and an urge to act, or early warning system guiding natural, and is one form of communication with the conscious mind.
Emotion or feeling is the language commonly called the subconscious mind is very positive and it contains a message or specific meaning to the fulfillment of specific requirements as well. This lack of understanding or ignorance that often result in a person experiencing stressful conditions or when experiencing emotional suffering "negative" certain.
Emotions are often experienced by a person is angry, guilt, fear, frustration, disappointment, sadness, loneliness, a sense of inadequacy, boredom, and stress. When observed, every emotion is a specific meaning as following:
- Angry = was treated unfairly.
- Guilt = felt had treated others unfairly.
- Fear = something bad will happen (anticipation).
- Frustrated = what has been done does not give desired results like, need another way.
- Disappointed = what is wanted can not be realized.
- Sad = lose something valuable.
- Loneliness = need interactions / relationships meaningful.
- Taste not afford = nothing wrong with yourself.
- Boredom = less challenge.
