Emotions are either brewing or releasing
With emotions there is no neutral ground, as neutral garners no emotions
The emotive state is a state of elevated and or agitated energies, building to a crescendo or recovering from it. This is encompassing throughout the spectrum of emotions albeit in varying vibratory excitation's as well as bio-chemical level adjustments. To have any emotion, we transcend from one vibratory state to another with the caliber of those vibrations also varying in frequency, wavelength and duration.
Your emotions matter and they cannot be ignored in relation to your health. The emotions, be it from a base of joy, sorrow, anger, fear or any other emotive state, can only emerge after the brain registers physical changes in the body. Taking it further, our feelings are what arise from our brains interpretations of our emotions, these are purely physical signals of the body reacting to external stimuli. Your, emotions share some very real biochemical links with your nervous, endocrine, immune and digestive systems.
Energetic imbalances of your emotions
Heat images of body maps reveal areas with increased activity (warmer colors) or decreased activity (cooler colors) for a individual emotions.
We can clearly see by this image that our emotions have great affects on us physically
Our sympathetic nervous system, (which is governed by fight-or-flight stress responses), produces different chemicals than our parasympathetic system, (which is governed by states of calm and contentedness).
We have learned to observe some dramatic physiological body changes with emotion, which affect the nervous systems and physical reactions. A few examples would be; blushing with embarrassment, freezing, trembling, or goose bumps in a state of fear, upset digestive tract (butterflies in the stomach or heart-racing) as our reaction to nervousness or excitement.
Why Meditation is Vital
Meditation minimizes and mitigates your bodies stresses and normalizes your body chemical response. By purposefully balancing your system with a state of calmness and contentedness, whenever possible anyone can achieve this. The balancing can be through formal relaxation exercises (Yoga, Qi Gong, Tai Chi) and massage, or through enjoyable socializing with people you enjoy.
Studies have shown that meditators had significant increases in their left-side anterior brain activity (associated with positive affect, or feelings), while the non-meditators showed no changes. Meditators also develop a significantly stronger antibody immune response than non-meditators. They also concluded an increase in left-side anterior brain activation, closely mirrored the levels of antibody response, meditation creates a stronger positive immune reaction.
