Emotional Health.

Emotional Health

Feelings are attached to what we do, who we are with, and in this case, words.  I just started telling myself that its ok to sit down and write for others to not only get emotional about what they are reading, but they are reading my emotions.  See my dilema is to not be in front of a computer or some piece of technology, but to be outside experiencing emotional health, educating through personal interaction to express feelings regarding health and wellness, and pursing my happiness of the human connection to everything around us which empowers me to smile from ear to ear!

People can be connected in so diverse ways, and people who tap in to writing & reading others who have written will get emotional.  Its a new kind of emotion that truly hasn't been identified up to this point.  Less than 2 hundred years ago the printing press was just coming into its own and electricity wasn't even harnessed yet.   Now people feel connected to others from just witnessing a few key strokes and they have never met, but have shared their words and interpreted those statements & paragraphs to just be relative to their own experience.

The sensation of being in another presence and witnessing daily habits (not just words) with routines will yield a more powerful expereience if you are experiencing strong emotions about another person words....well here we go.  This will be a simple exercise to tap into emotional health, what this post is about.....

1.  Sit in a peaceful environment, where you can feel at ease, relaxed, and comfortable.
2.  Close your eyes for 15 min...& focus on your breath to clear your mind
3.  What types of emotions to you experience over the next 15 min...?

The practice goes much deeper then the simple 3 instructions, but if a person is to isolate one intention (breath), the clarity can be experienced in the mind, and emotions can be identified during this period of stillness as well.  Clearing the mind takes much practice and sitting still for 15 min. is not any easy task by any means.  If you have never focused on your breath here is a sub practice:

1.  Should utilize a belly breath style with in through nose & out through mouth with tongue gently touching your pallet.
2.  Two Types:
       A.  4-5-8....Inhale for 4 seconds, pause/transition for 5 sec., exhale for 8 sec.
      B.  Inhale and think one, pause/transition think one, exhale, think one, then think one on the pause before starting to think two for next inhale...repeat through #10 with no mistakes and you have strong mental health.

These simple, yet powerful breathing styles should not be undermined this is a very sound HEALTHY practice!  And aids a person in both mental and emotional health strength :)'
