Understanding emotions part 1

11 posts in this topic

I had done the exercise of setting 5 alarms a day to become more aware of emotions however I would just go unconscious and the alarm would ring without me being aware until I found an app that helps me record emotions...

Is it possible to eliminate negative emotions completely?

@TriteNTrue what do you exactly mean by processing emotions?  

When you get an emotion, what is the trajectory through the body/mind?

@Elton Neither am I . When I do a body scan during meditation, I usually notice my heart rate, perspiration, muscle tension, busyness of the mind  or a knot in my stomach in order to form a map of how I'm feeling.  But these don't vary that much so I don't end up with a wide variety of emotions. 

I'm also very interested in tips from others.

I’m with ya.  I’ll do it too.  I’ve always wanted to do this exercise.  

Just so folks know what we are talking about: We’re talking about the exercise in this video, which you should definitely watch too:
