Emotional State Recognition

There are two ways to recognize your emotional states. They are through your physical body and your internal dialogue. These two primary sources of awareness can be used to affect techniques to change your emotional states. You already know these techniques as an actor. If I said there was a person who was depressed you could tell me the physical presentation of his body, the possibilities of his physical positions and general emotional state. If I said the person was anxious you could come up with those physical presentations as well. Actors use this technique in order to create the physical world in which the character's are living. You can do this because, as an actor, you are familiar with emotional states and their corresponding physical presentation. You can do this because you are connected to your nervous system.

The nervous system is an intricate and fascinating connection of millions of nerve endings and neurotransmitters. All of these nerve endings respond to stimuli. The stimuli are based on pressure points. These pressure points are created by a physical closed and down position or an open and up position. These body positions cause the energy vibrations to shift. Your life energy frequency is then low or high depending on which position has been activated. And, as you know, the law of attraction draws the like frequency to it.

You can stop your negative feelings from taking you to an internal dialogue of despair. You can do this by changing your physical state. You do this by adjusting the down pressure points on your nervous system. These pressure points control the response to pain. Know this, pain is caused by the down position points. The resulting negative internal dialogue are caused by the down position as well.

Change your physical position and can change your internal dialogue. Therefore, being aware of these pressure points are key to changing your feelings and resulting emotional states (internal dialogue.)

Is it that simple? In theory the answer is yes, in application, no. What gets in the way? Well, let’s see. You know the physical body uses life energy to protect the vessel; to keep the vessel protected. This is done in order to preserve energy for survival. These same low frequencies, however, will often draw to the body continued circumstances of defocus. These same low frequencies attract life events that distract from your intended focus, awareness and accountability. Thus, the Law of Attraction.

By being consciously aware of your up/open and down/closed physical positions you allow yourself the choice to change how you think and feel. You can use your power as an actor to activate this choice.

Changing your Emotional State

Your ability to alter a negative physical position is often based on the circumstance of a given emotional state and the power of the beliefs that are controlling that circumstance. Read that again. Your ability to alter a negative physical position is often based on the circumstance of a given emotional state and the power of the beliefs that are controlling that circumstance. If the emotional level of a down/closed state is high enough the ability to use logic and common sense to change the physical position can be so demanding of justification that taking control of what is happening can be seemingly impossible.

Your physical self and your spiritual/intellectual self work independently of each other due to their different agendas in life. However, they use the same physical process to achieve their desired results. The physical body, once taken to a state of despair, will pull down into itself. The nerve endings will become pinched and physical pain will register. The cause of the pain will be instantly analyzed by your five senses. Is the source of this pain/discomfort something you see? Is it something you hear? Is it something you feel? Is it something you taste? Is it something you smell?

It is at this point an answer, in the form of internal dialogue, will be processed through your belief system. The resulting internal dialogue will put the body's life energy in a fight or flight position in order to protect the vessel. Once the brain is supporting the body’s fight or flight state, the ability to instantly change the occurring feelings and thoughts becomes difficult and logic is usually bypassed.

It is during this time that your auto pilot is guiding you toward becoming a victim. You will then begin to respond unconsciously through beliefs and fears that you have held from the past. You do not want to allow your mind to have access to the auto pilot of your emotions. This can only spell disaster.

Therefore, you need to be clear of the physical process that is used by the duality of your being. The down closed physical position causes pressure on the nerve endings sending impulses to the brain for clarification of source. It is important to be clear about that last sentence. The brain instantly uses the five senses to insure that the impulse/physical feelings are not caused by real danger.

If the brain establishes that there is no real physical danger, the impulse (down/closed feeling) goes to the tape bank of your recorded life events in that emotional/physical state. These life events have been recorded as memory; real or imagined. Each of the memories has a life belief connected to it. The down/closed feeling (based on it's passion level) will now connect with the same passion level recording file. The brain goes to the brain’s file (recorded memories) of the most recent event recorded in that particular pain level. Remember, these down pressure points come in varying levels of intensity. The current down position will attach itself to the corresponding emotional levels recorded in your mind. The memory recording will activate the belief or beliefs you hold that justified the last life event recorded in this (emotionally defined) file.

If, however, the current circumstance does not connect to the most recent recorded experience in that emotional level file, the brain search will continue to move on to the previous recorded life event based on the down position level that has been activated. This search will continue instantaneously until the brain finds a pain event and a belief justification that connects to the current circumstance. The resulting memory source activates internal dialogue of justification.

Every life event resulting in pain or pleasure is experienced at a certain level of intensity. Each of these levels of intensity have their on recorded location in your mind. The levels of intensity correspond to frequencies that result in positive high frequencies or negative low frequencies. Each results in a memory and each memory has an order based on the French scenes of your life. The top memory in each emotional file is the latest life event and then the memories (connected to emotional states and beliefs) go in descending order.

Each of these emotional files continue to gain strength as each life event/memory is experienced. Internal dialogue responses are based on the beliefs that can be activated by these experiences. Once you are aware of the connections between your physical down pressure will you be able to change to a positive (up/open) physical circumstance switching off your negative mental responses (internal dialogue). I repeat, you do this by putting the physical body in an open-end talent position. You do this the same way you put a character you are playing into his physical reality. The choice is up to you.

The down and closed physical position (caused by an external stimuli) can override logic and the ability to stop trying to justify the source of the fear/pain. The resulting internal dialogue becomes the source of bad behavior. The physical feeling and its corresponding level of intensity can keep your life energy in a negative frequency defense position. When this happens you have lost control of your focus and internal dialogue. Your actual physical response impacts your energy transmission and the law of attraction is now working against you. You must be aware of when you are behaving badly. What behavior do you use to insult, degrade, overpower, demean, show outrage, offense, or any other personal affront that you believe has been inflicted on you.

Behaving Badly

Behaving badly not only affects your relationships with others, it more importantly affects your relationship with yourself. It is a form of self-abuse that results in negative choices. It allows your internal dialogue to support your outrage. This usually results in a personal price you do not want to pay.

You can stop the internal dialogue that supports this behavior by removing the physical pressure (down position) causing the negative feelings. It is impossible to change your state of mind while the body is still in the down and closed position. You can not simply think yourself out of a negative emotional state.

As long as your physical body is in a down position and putting pressure on your nerve endings your emotional state will control your perception (internal dialogue of justification). This happens even though it is not logical to be depressed and it is not logical to have a running dialogue of pain and despair. It is, however, logical for your mindless physical body (the creature) to try and defocus you from diverting energy from the body’s primary objective… physical survival.

Remember, your body does not respond to your thoughts. You body does not care how terrible your thoughts are or how unhappy you find yourself. Your body will try to commandeer your energy, and thoughts, at all costs. You do not want this to be the way you live your life.

You can control your physical body by taking personal power over your physical down and closed position. This personal power over yourself is called Talent.

This actual physical change removes the pressure points on the nervous system and thus eliminates the body’s need to determine the source of the pain. By cutting off the body’s desire to hold on to its fight or flight response system, you cut off the body’s instinct to control your energy vibrations at a low frequency.

There are times when your physical body may be in real physical danger. Once put on notice by the downward pressure on the nervous system the body will, and should, activate your five senses for analysis. When this happens the danger will become clear and appropriate actions can be taken. Real danger is clear and the response logical. This is not true with imagined danger.

Learning how to avoid behaving badly is a key to finding and keeping your success. You have the power to control the pain elements of your life. You can practice how to can change your emotional state (internal dialogue) by repositioning the body from the down/closed physical position to the up/open physical position. Remember, a physical feeling is just that until it has been identified by your brain. If the internal dialogue that comes is negative and non-supportive of your life goals and self worth then you must change the feeling and, as a result, the internal dialogue will change. If the negative thoughts return right away then use more physical power to change the feeling. Move, run, laugh... anything that will change your physical feeling from down and closed to up and open.

I call this repositioning going to BaseMax™. It is a term that I will explain later. This, however, can only happen if you use focus, awareness and accountability in your quest for growth through understanding how your vessel (body and energy) work.

Body Position Awareness

As an actor you know how to take your physical body in make believe to a depressed physical state. Therefore, you can also recognize the depressed state in your normal life so that you can change your physical position as needed to keep control of your own growth and happiness. To recognize your emotional states do a systematic check of your body’s physical positions and corresponding thoughts. You must become aware of how your body is working rather than just unconsciously responding to the results.

If you can be aware of the techniques that you use to change the body position for your character’s emotional purposes you can do it for yourself in reality. You might think that creating a character is different from creating your own emotions. You may think it is just simulation and artificial. That is not true. It is your power to use and you must take advantage of that ability.

The control of your physical and emotional state, just like those of characters you create, must be taken to a talent level. That means acquiring the knowledge of how your body works and putting that knowledge into physical repetition. Once this repetition has been converted to muscle memory the path to talent is secure.

If what you are thinking (internal dialogue) in non-supportive to your hope for the future then it must be changed. Nothing is more demoralizing than listening to the same tapes play over and over in your mind. You must have the power to turn off those tapes and make new more supportive ones. New tapes that support you can only come from the up and open physical position. Take advantage of negative internal dialogue to switch your physical position to the up position thus stopping the thoughts that you do not want.

Practice this during the week. I'm sure there will be many opportunities for you to stop internal dialogue that you do not want. Create a talent for being in the up physical position and enjoy the thoughts that come with it. They will empower you and lead you much faster to the success that you desire in all the areas of your life.

Have a great week. I wish you well.
