In the training and clinic session I conduct on Energy Psychology (next training on 14-15^th Feb. 2009)  , there are many cases of people who need help with issues involving emotion.

The pointers or principles on emotion stated by Eckhart Tolle, in "The Power of Now" are discussed below, which are used for Energy Psychology  healing application.

{Note: In the regular weekly group practice, the application of the principles are discussed and demonstrated}

"The Power of Now" – Eckhart Tolle

Quote : "Emotion – the body reaction to your mind."

From the above, let me propose the following model –

                "Trigger"  -> "Emotion" {body and mind interaction}

And the "Emotion" continues to feed on the body and mind, creating a vicious circle and leading to people getting stuck with all sorts of symptoms and un-desired behavior.

The "Trigger" can be a specific negative event or negative experience. In Energy Psychology application, practitioner helps the client to recall, relate that specific event with full consciousness towards full acceptance and forgiveness.

Further quote from Eckhart Tolle –

" The more you are identified with your thinking, your likes and dislikes, judgments and interpretations, the stronger the emotion energy charge will be, whether you are aware of it or not."

 "If you cannot feel your emotions, if you are cut off from them , you will eventually experience them on a purely physical level, as a physical problem or symptom."

Further quote:

"What you felt was a lingering emotion that you were probably unaware of, until you started putting some attention into the body. Unless you first give it some attention, the emotion will prevent you from gaining access to the inner body, which lies at a deeper level underneath it. Attention does not mean that you start thinking about it, it means to just observe the emotion, to feel it fully, and so to acknowledge and accept it as it is."

"Some emotions are easily identified : anger, fear, grief and so on. Others may be much harder to label. They may just be vague feeling of unease, heaviness, or constriction, halfway between an emotion and a physical sensation. In any case, what matters is not whether you can attach a mental label to it but whether you can bring the feeling of it into awareness as much as possible. Attention is the key to transformation."

"A strong unconscious emotion pattern may even manifest as an external event that appears to just happen to you."
