The power of emotions

The power of emotions
Magazine: March 2008

The silence of true tranquillity allows us to reach our inner self, but the power of emotions alone can create the painting of our existence with the array of colours that allow vital energy to manifest itself fully. Emotions on their own have the power of evoking our past experiences and emotive vitality alone enables us to develop the intuition that can lead to wisdom. It is through the body and all its sensations that we are able to perceive the deep meaning of the emotional message. Listening to the sensations of our body allows us to distinguish between what aids our well being from what hinders it. This is why careful instruction on listening to the senses and other signs from the body becomes an essential prerequisite for developing wisdom. Only through opening our senses to the world can we allow the mind to learn, and therefore get to know ourselves, and possibly find the key to happiness.
