We choose. Choosing is the privilege of grown ups, children will tell us. Children have to obey the decisions adults make for them and long for the day they can make their own only to realize how uncomfortable and difficult this is sometimes as we do not always know if the choice made is the right one. If we make it and things don't turn out well, we have to take full responsibility, that is not always easy but it comes with the territory.
Gibran talks about "choosing our joys and sorrows long before we experience them". First we make a choice , either joy or sorrow, then as the different emotions settle in our energy field, they become part of our fabric and then, we will experience them in our physical body. If it is joy, we will feel energized and happy. If it is sorrow, we feel heavy and even become sick.
Another way of putting it is "our biography becomes our biology." There is a lot of talk about health nowadays, new products come on the market every day to help us feel better, live longer...but let us not forget that choosing our emotions carefully is also a very important part of our wellness plan.
When we see violence portrayed on the news, what do we choose? Do we choose to join in or do we say , as it is states in The Course of Miracles: "I see peace instead of this." If we join in, we add our energy to the mix, if we choose to see peace instead, we do not empower the violence. James Redfield said in his book, The Celestine Prophecies," Insecurity and violence end when we experience an inner connection with divine energy within, a connection described by mystics of all traditions. A sense of lightness--buoyancy--along with the constant sensation of love are measures of this connection." (the Fifth Insight)
We make choices as individuals and then experience the consequences of those choices and we also make choices as a collective society and experience those consequences too. We cannot change others, all we can do is make a wise decision where our attention and energy go each day.
How does all this tie in with the work of The Emotion Code? The Emotion Code helps us release negative trapped emotions: by clearing the pain, the sorrow, the anger, the helplessness, the guilt, the shame...etc, we are making room for more joy, peace and love to come to us. We are an intrinsic part of the whole so by making ourselves a "better place", we make a part of the world, a better place. By choosing to replace negative emotions with good ones, we make sure our experience in the future will be better.
When will the world change? It will change when more people will be passionate about peace and healing than those who are passionate about war and fighting.
Peace on earth will come when we, all of us, choose peace today and make effort to clear out the negative, 'war-like' emotions and also nurture the inner connection with the Source..
