Whether we are aware of it or not, our emotional state has a huge impact on how successful we are in life. If you look at our world today, almost every decision and action a person takes is based on an emotional cause. Jim Ryerson, author of “First 100 Days of Selling” states, “Customers buy for personal and emotional reasons and then justify their decision based on facts and figures.” This is true of many other things as well. Our emotions are what really drive us, consciously, and more often than not, unconsciously. Robert Stevens, author of “Conscious Language” tells us that when our feelings can follow our attention, and we are personal, specific and outcome oriented, wonders happen easily and we attract and accomplish what we desire quickly. This is why learning the art of understanding your emotions and harnessing the power of your emotions is one of the most important educations you can receive.
First, it is important to understand that our natural state is blissful. It has been scientifically proven now that our mind is what actually gets in the way of our true joyful state. Bill Harris, creator of Centerpointe Research, tells us that if one side of our brain is dominant over the other side of our brain we begin to experience ourselves as seperate. He goes on to explain that all disfunctional behaviors and emotions are a result of being in opposition to “the world.” The Buddha states that “it is your resistance to ‘what is’ that causes your suffering.” When we realize our true connection with everything around us, resistance naturally fades away. When we experience connection, through brain synchronization, our sense of well-being increases.
This is all great on a conceptual level you may be thinking, but what do I do when I feel intense emotions? What do I do when my emotional world (also known as our subconscious) is sabatoging my success? Below I have prepared a helpful guide for you. . .
1) Be very clear that whatever is happening for you is the creation of the programming in your subconscious and unconscious mind. Thanks to the feature film “The Secret” many people are accepting this universal law. Taking responsibility is the first step.
2) Watch your creation. Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now states, “Whenever you feel negativity arising within you, whether caused by an external factor, a thought, or even nothing in particular that you are aware of, look on it as a voice, saying ‘attention Here and Now: Wake up’ Even the slightest irritation is significant and needs to be acknowledged and looked at; otherwise, there will be a cumulative build up of unobserved reactions.”

The only true way to change or transform anything in your life is through what is called a “paradigm shift.” Eve Jones, author of The Logic of Magical Thought and the Dance of the Breath writes, “Changing our behavior through deliberate acts of will usually does nothing positive. We just submerge the imprints deeper into our unconscious. Conscious or unconscious denial doesn’t keep our thoughts from being ‘broadcast’ at all: denial and repression just keep broadcasting the imprints on a frequency band that we’re not picking up on, but that the universe is responsive to.” As a rule, limiting, non-resourceful behavior can only be created unconsciously. When we consciously watch and experience a behavior or emotion which doesn’t serve us, it will naturally fall away. This is called a paradigm shift. We see things from a new perspective. Remember, “until man can experience in consciousness that which is physical, he will be bound to the physical” In other words, what you resist persists and what you avoid becomes your prison.
3) Breathe. A major way people go unconscious and block their feelings from coming to the surface is by shutting down their breathing. When we breath deeply we feel more and move through more. Many of our strongest imprints were made as a baby, when the oxygen content in our brains and bodies were highest. Eve Jones explains deep breathing “works because it allows us to re-institute the state of having the high-oxygen titer of the blood characteristic of the newborn. When this state is re-created, we gain access to our imprints. Using our conscious mind, intelligently aware of the Here and Now, we can access and revise previously inaccessible imprints which have been creating our reality. We can let go old mistaken negative thoughts.” Remember to take deep breaths!
4) Meditate. Meditation is a technology to balance our brain. Daily meditation will strengthen your awareness, increase your brain synchronization, and bring you more clarity and peace.
5) Get help. If you have tried all of the suggestions above and are still experiencing difficulty with what is coming up for you emotionally, I recommend you find a trusted mentor or therapist. Many successful people have attributed their breakthroughs to a coach or mentor. Someone who has been there before, or who has a broader perspective might be able to pull you out of your swamp.
If you have any questions or additional thoughts or comments on how to harness the power of our emotions, I encourage you to post a comment and share. I love interacting and learning from people like you!

Love the post! I have found so much freedom in understanding my emotions. I live by Abraham Hick’s emotional scale. If I feel an emotion that isn’t as I’m wanting to feel, then I work the scale. I journal into feeling better. And yes, breathing is great too.

Emotions are the most important thing. Here is an example. The richest person in the Philadelphia area was billionaire Walter Annenberg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Annenberg
He created TV Guide and Seventeen Magazine. He owned the Philadelphia Inquirer. He has donated more money to education than anyone ever. Due to emotions, not lack of money, his son died while attending Harvard College. He killed himself because he was depressed.
The purpose of life is to get back to that natural state of bliss. In Buddhism they call it the original mind. When people play sudoku they are using their intellect. But why are they even playing it. Because it makes them feel good. It is fun. Children know that emotions are the most important thing.
They do not care about the health care plan or the economy. They want to feel good and have fun. A friend of mine had me take her son to an amusement fair. Her son, Rowan, loved going on these rides, loved going through the fun house and was having the time of his life. I loved it too since I am like a little kid.
When his mother came back and we got in her car, Rowan started crying. He did not want to leave since he loved being there. Earlier, I told the mother to come back at 10PM, 2 hours later. I should have told her to come pick us up when the fair was closing.

I was just reading the Wikipedia article on Annenberg. It is fun reading about his life. He gave half a billion dollars ($500 million) to American public education– the largest amount ever.
Back at that time, a billion dollars was worth much more than it is now. In today’s dollars that half a billion would be worth about 5 billion dollars. When he was young, it would cost about 35 cents to see a movie.
