The meditations in this course are given so that you can see how you can change your emotional state at will. The first meditation deals with emotional spin outs, where emotions become out-of-control. It is possible to stop a spin-out with conscious awareness and the right tools. In the meditation you will experience a negative emotion fully, and slow down the spin of a negative emotion that has gotten out of control. You will be able to experience what it is like to sit for a moment in the emotion in its still-state. This is where you can find peace and calm even while the emotion is present. Then you will learn how to switch to a positive emotion at will.

The second meditation is about learning the energy patterning of positive emotions. You will try on a few emotions and explore their patterning, but you can try many more than what are offered in meditation. Exercise 1 contains a list of some of the emotional states you might like to try on your own in meditation. Learn the patterns, and practice switching to them at will and during your day, even as you go about your daily tasks. Perhaps you might like to pick one emotional state to switch to throughout the day whenever you think of it. For instance, you might be washing your dishes and might think to yourself, "Let's try out serenity for a moment." You do not have to be sitting in meditation to practice this. Truly, life is a meditation in itself, and still states of mind and positive emotions can be practiced no matter what you are doing.

A useful visualization that can help you with learning new emotions and fully exploring their patterns, is to bring your guides in on the fun! When you are exploring a positive emotion, ask for your guides or any other spirit friends who you would like to invite, to sit around you in a circle and hold this frequency for you. Imagine yourself sitting in the middle of this circle being inundated with the positive emotion as they hold this and send it to you. You can invite as many guides as you would like, even thousands if you feel that your emotional body is especially resistant to positive emotions. You will find this will help greatly in the beginning stages of teaching yourself how to hold positive emotions fully, completely, and constantly.

As a result of changing your emotional state, your whole reality will change. It responds to your emotional state within one month, in just the same way it responds to your thoughts. Your thoughts and mental body will also change by working with the emotional body, for the two are intertwined. Working with one, affects the other. If you work with both your mental body and your emotional body at the same time, an even speedier recovery from a life of depression can be had. Practice having a still mind as much as you can, and teach yourself to hold new emotional patterns. The secret to having a still mind is to simply stop, no matter what you are thinking. The secret to holding positive emotions is to refuse to indulge the negative emotions for any length of time when they come up, and to practice the habit of holding positive emotions.

Changing yourself changes the world. You will affect many as you learn to be less swayed by whatever emotional mood comes by you, whether it is yours or someone else's. Karol K. Truman says in her book Feelings: Buried Alive Never Die (1991), "In the nineties, self examination of feelings and emotions began receiving a focus that is contributing to an emotional cleansing and healing of major proportions. At long last, humankind's willingness to retreat from denial, to own the source of their problems, accept responsibility for them and become accountable for their feelings and thoughts which created them, is establishing an energy that is opening the channels for bringing the inner peace people are so desperately seeking." Your ability to harness and switch your attention from a negative emotion to a positive emotion is your gift to the world. You can be a light in a world that has many depressed and despairing people in it.

Good luck with your continuing endeavors in teaching your emotional body new patterns, and enjoy your new states of happiness and optimism!
