Humans experience an array of emotions, anything from happiness, to sadness to extreme joy and depression. Each one of these emotions creates a different feeling within the body. After all, our body releases different chemicals when we experience various things that make us happy and each chemical works to create a different environment within the body.
The Effects Of Negative Emotions On Our Health
Much of our emotional experiences consists of negative feelings that, even though we try to control or hold them down, they hammer through, blustering through the brain, affecting us and we tend to think there is nothing we can do. It also produces negative thoughts, feelings and emotions. It disables us to have the positive frame of mind with what we say and do.
The negativities we absorb would become emotional blockages, becoming our worst inner-enemies, clotting our minds, keeping us from seeing and responding clearly. In other words, they weaken our capacity to live our lives to the fullest.
Negative emotions are a disturbing annoyance for anyone.
We also recognized anxiety. Anxiety is a curable condition. There are times you feel like everything is out of your control, and definitely severe anxiety is not easy to treat in the sense that you are not going to be able to quickly relieve all anxiety at once.
But all anxieties are probable to be treated, provided you are willing — to strive for help, avoid mistakes, and create smart decisions, and it all depends on how much you are willing to relieve yourself from those very bad anxiety attacks.
Even dark emotions that fuel the anxiety fire further, which are garnered by painful experiences, could lead people to dangerous levels of psychosis and this just shows how dark thoughts alone can lead to immense suffering.
Buddhist meditation would tackle the issues of anxiety differently. It modifies your relationship to your emotions more than the emotions themselves. It permits you to see mood instabilities, moment to moment, so that you can sail across and around them. The approach appears to be effective. According to a psychologist Zindel Segal, meditation successfully prevented weakening of depression in patients who have had histories of frequent mood disorder.
Through meditation, you become aware with the way emotions arise, how they can either overcome your mind or disappear without making an impact. Some people become more calm than others because of yoga and mindful meditation sessions. Some ideas include nutrition, exercise, and meditation, enjoying privacy or even aromatherapy.
Try these ideas on how to achieve tranquility for you to become more calm and a much happier person:
SELF-LOVING – Always remind yourself frequently that it is tolerable to love and trust your self. Talk quietly to yourself. When you feel down and hear negative things about you, remind yourself that what matters is that you deserve respect and that such negative talk does not have a place in your life. Remember that everyone makes mistakes and know how treasured you are. Tell yourself daily of the good virtues, strengths and beauty that you bring into this complicated world.
CALM DOWN YOURSELF– If you are having a conflict with someone, find healthy ways to immediately release the feelings that you have. Don’t bear grudges when you are angry. Being more open and good about telling people how you really feel when you feel that way is a good start. If you can’t do that, try singing out loud or in your head; any song that you always enjoy. This is a good option when you are really mad and you need to calm yourself down.
MEDITATE – Meditation is a good way to relaxing one’s mind and thoughts, it is where you find yourself in a peaceful place to sit down and turn to your thoughts privately, to the quietest corner of your mind. Try to focus on the natural sounds around you and let all your doubts and fears flow out of your mind.
LISTEN TO MUSIC – Music has a very soothing effect on how we think. If you’re having a hard time calming down, try some calming music. Avoid music with loud sounds or fast tempos, even if it’s music you really like, because this music can actually add to your stress. Just listen to mellow music when you are trying to calm down your mind.
EXERCISE REGULARLY – Let’s work out our energy and tension, letting us to soothe our minds expressively. It also makes us healthier and feels better generally. You don’t have to lift weights or anything that will make you uncomfortable. Just do some squats and take a quick jog around the block.
The ability to manage your emotions and have a positive outlook is a good way to know yourself even more when you are under pressure. If you are in a nerve-racking situation and feel the need to be at ease, just simply divert your attention from the problem or take ten seconds to breathe deeply and let all the feelings sink in, before you can regret anything and think of happy thoughts.

How Emotional “Dis-ease” Becomes Physical Disease
Scientists have proven that negativity literally makes cancer grow inside the body
The Following is an extract from my upcoming self-help book Ketheric Well-Being: The Four Dimensions of Chnage
Our body can express some of the more painful memories as aches and pains, which can develop into dis-eases such as diabetes (lack of sweetness or joy in life), hypertension as the name suggests: prolonged unaddressed tension in our lives; etc.
I suggest that you browse Heal Your Body, The Mental Causes for Physical Illness and the Metaphysical Way to Overcome Them, by Louise Hay; if you have not done so already. I have had excellent results with my clients who have come aware of what their physical symptoms mean, and changed their beliefs about life has helped them resolve quite a few of their physical symptoms sometimes instantaneously!
“Our intimate relationships, more than anything else, are a testing ground for our feelings and emotions. They are the catalyst that can make us feel on top of the world
or in the depth of depression. How do we cope with these strong feelings and emotions?
Our intimate relationships are a mirror of our general level of consciousness; they show us how well we are able to manifest our ideals in everyday life[1]”.
We have a choice, either to suppress our emotions, and hurt our body; or turn these suppressed and ignored emotions into feelings of guilt, fear or anger without even realising that we are doing so. The better alternative is, of course, to address our feelings, look them in the eye; and to try and understand their message.
This understanding can bring new insights and possible resolution to a life situation through which we can grow.
In her discourse, “Taking Charge”, Caroline Myss writes “Emotional energy contributes to the formation of cell tissue, and forms an energy language which carries literal and symbolic information. In this way, your biography–that is, the experiences that make up your life–becomes your biology. Your body contains your history–every chapter, line and verse of every event and relationship in your life. As your life unfolds your biological health becomes a living, breathing biographical statement that conveys your strengths, weaknesses, hopes and fears.”
The Case of the Diplomat
During the first few years of my practice, I met a very intelligent and charming client who was in her early sixties and had a remarkable career in the diplomatic corp; until her husband divorced her and married her secretary! Naturally she felt angry and resentful.
Over several sessions, and no matter how much guidance she tried to receive, her focus remained on how to avenge herself. Her anger and bitterness did not allow her to contemplate a better future for herself without her ex-husband.
From her point of view, she felt and strongly believed that she was socially rejected and irreconcilably humiliated. Although she moved countries and tried to start a new life, her shame, anger and probably the fear being able to build a better (or different) future, slowly consumed her body. Within seven years or so of her divorce, she sadly developed cancer and died.
Over the years, I have to come to recognise an unfortunate “emotional dis-ease” pattern with several of my clients, including family members. When repressed emotions are ignored over a prolonged period of time festering feelings of stress, anger, revenge or a “sense that life is unfair”; they will affect the chemistry of our body and eventually turn into a disease such as cancer.
Scientists have proven that negativity literally makes cancer grow inside the body[2]. “Let us start with the impact of staying angry, being frustrated or feeling negative about an event. Dr. Steven Standiford, chief of surgery at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, says that holding onto these negative emotions creates a chronic state of anxiety. This produces a predictable excess of adrenaline and cortisol, which deplete the production of natural killer cells. These cells are your protection against cancer. If you refuse to forgive, it not only makes you sick but can keep you that way… If you think of an old memory of being mistreated, hurt, or offended you automatically start to feel unwell. The fact is that there are immediate emotional and/or physiological responses that occur when you are having these memories. These responses include:
- Your blood pressure increases
- Your muscles tighten
- You start to swell
The improvement of blood pressure and cardio-vagal tone is yet another benefit of forgiveness. Researchers have been able to show that forgiveness has a cardio-protective effect on the heart. While anger, is cardio-toxic, which damages the heart muscle.”
It is time to let go of past grievances and to feel lighter. By freeing yourself from the past; you can create space for a brighter present!

I know some people are hypersensitive to negative thoughts, images, attitude and are physically shaking and nauseous from upsetting stuff that they have read 0r seen.
When people come at me with bad news, I do end up sort of feeling dulled down, and out of body.
I’m working on not letting something as simple as a newspaper article stick with me all month. But that’s part of illness I bet. People without illness might be able to get over a disturbing online post or article in a few hours. It will stick with me for a week or more.
