Hullo, this is Julia again!
 How are you all?
 Whoever you are - you have emotions!!
And that's not always an easy thing. Many of us are governed by our emotions. We get upset by something and we feel miserable for the rest of the day!
Why is that you may ask yourself? Why am I feeling bad all day after that argument with my husband, boyfriend or person I share a flat with.
Well along with emotions come thoughts.

Let's take an example:

Say I have breakfast with my boyfriend or girlfriend, we're in a hurry, have to get to work, or class or walk the dog or feed the baby. So we're in the kitchen preparing breakfast, making coffee etc. Then all of a sudden one of us speaks a little harshly to the other e.g. Why do you leave all the things all over the cupboard and there's no room left for me to put the coffee mugs and pot? Cant' you put things away when you've finished with them?
Well that can be enough sometimes to start something BIG!!!!! The other person reacts angrily saying we're just as bad at that as they are. Then we react with something else, like: You're just like your Mother (or Father).
Okay - so now we have a situation but we both have to leave for work, so its left up in the air and a bad feeling between us. Off we go to work, and on the way we start thinking - yes there we have it- we start THINKING- saying all sorts of things like: He doesnt really love me or he wouldnt say things like that. Or: she is such an unkind person I cant believe I married her!!
And so the thinking goes on , all day whenever we have a few minutes.
And so the emotions continue and can escalate and change to other emotions, the anger can turn to sadness, or depression.

I have struggled with these kinds of scenarios all my life until fairly recently,

Now I do several things when the above kind of situation occurs:

1. I shut my mouth! yes I SHUT MY MOUTH! (very helpful to practice this and as soon as possible!)
2. I leave the room if I have time and BREATHE.
3. I do a quick little forgiveness in my head:
Dear ...... Please forgive me for all the hurt and harm I have ever caused you and I forgive you for any hurt or harm you have ever caused me. I love you.
4. Then I am already feeling a lot better and if I do feel up to it I will go back to the kitchen and say directly to the other person: Im sorry for my part in this argument. Please forgive me. I love you.
5. If I dont feel better I will need to do further work which I will share with you next time. 
And I will talk about how to deal with the feelings you may still have as you walk down the street after the argument.

I hope you find this blog useful and helpful. I love you all. Julia

Negative Emotions often arise when we are tired.

Have you ever looked forward to time for yourself, all alone at last, feet up, heater on, a cup of tea waiting?
Oh Yippee! Great ! Wonderful! and then Boom!
Yes, instead of it being wonderful you feel kind of flat, even depressed?

Well that's what often happens to me, its not a new feeling.  After being on the go, lots of things happening, people all around, suddenly to be all alone isnt so great after all!!

Today I sat on the couch, cheese and biscuits, cup of tea and Boom, i felt a bit flat. In the past this would have developed further, I might have turned the TV on or had a sleep. But when I stopped watching TV or sleeping, it was still there, that feeling of loneliness.

Today I did something different.  Since I have been studying with Master Sha I have discovered many practices that help me to deal with feelings of loneliness, sadness, depression and so on.

If you have Master Sha's new book Soul Healing Miracles there's a wonderful practice on page 157 for healing the emotions - any emotion!! Yes, any!!

If you dont have the book you can order it on Amazon.com.

I followed the practice and chanted :Hei Heng Hong Ha - with my hand on my heart. I did this for about 3 mins. Gradually I started to relax and think of things I wanted to do that were constructive. I didnt sleep. I didnt watch TV. I started to do some study. I felt better. The emotion didnt run away with me into something bigger.

Master Sha teaches the Four Power Techniques - if you always use this format you can design your own practice.
Here's how you do it:
Body Power - sit up straight, put your hands where you need healing.
Sound Power - chant something positive e.g. Golden light heals my depression. Love heals.
Mind Power  - visualise or imagine or think golden light in your body, healing the emotion.
Soul Power - say hello: Dear my heart (for example - for depression) I love you. You have the power to heal yourself, do a good job. Thank you.
Chant for 3-5 mins or longer 3-5 times per day. The longer the better.
Notice how you feel afterwards.
You could be amazed. You could experience your own Soul Healing Miracle.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine certain organs are connected to certain emotions:
Liver - anger
Heart - depression and anxiety
Lungs - sadness and grief
Spleen - worry
Kidneys - fear
So concentrate on the organ that you think fits for your emotion - imagine it healing itself.
Remember:
Master Sha says: I have the power to heal myself, You have the power to heal yourself,
Together we have the power to heal the world.
More next time. Love Julia

Today I practised what I had talked about - that is - healing for anxiety.  As I drove my baby grandson
through the countryside to keep him asleep I thought about my post about anxiety and stress. I have felt plenty of that this week looking after a 10 month old while his mother did a special training.

So I started the practice, and chanted Love Love Love
After a while I started to feel quite fantastic. Kind of loving and mellow.
 Then something happened and I forgot to continue.

Its interesting writing a blog because it then makes you practise what you preach!!
Im very grateful for this teaching.

Lots of love
Julia

Hullo everyone, I just couldnt wait to share again so Im sharing again just minutes after my first blog post!!
I cant leave you all hanging wondering about these things called emotions!!

I would like to share with you a simple practice that can transform your depression and anxiety really fast!
Here's what to do:
Use Master Sha's Four Power Techniques to get the maximum benefit from doing this.

Body Power: sit up straight or lie down (if you lie down then chant silently).
Put one hand over your heart and one on your lower abdomen.

Mind Power: Imagine beautiful golden light flowing into your heart.

Sound Power: We will chant or repeat over and over:
Love Love Love
Love Love Love
Love heals my depression and anxiety
Love heals my depression and anxiety.

Chant for 3-5 mins, 3-5 times a day and gradually increase how long you do it for to bring amazing results.

Soul Power: This is to say hello to your soul and  the Soul World - You can call on any great saint, or the Divine, Buddha and so on.
Follow along with me:
Dear Divine, Dear Buddha, Dear....... Dear......(call your favourite holy being or just Divine or God)
I love you
Dear my heart I love you
Please heal my depression and/or anxiety
I am so grateful.
Thank you.

Then Chant: Love Love Love as above, you can make up your own mantra as long as it is positive and respectful or yourself and the soul world and others.

I will do this practice now myself and in my next post I will let you know how I went with it.
I know many people get stressed and anxious and depressed. I can get very anxious so let's see how we go. Please share your experiences here so others can benefit.
Much love to you all,
Julia

The Journey of Healing the Emotions

Hullo, this is my first blog post ever! I am very happy to share with you week by week my experiences in healing my emotions through using the powerful, simple and profound teachings and practices of my spiritual teacher, Dr and Master Zhi Gang Sha.
I look forward to sharing with you how to heal the emotions.
Humans are emotional beings. This a part of who we are, whether we know it or not!
My son said to me "Mum, people don't know what emotions are!!"
I hope this blog will help people to understand what they are and how to heal the negative ones.

I was going to share quite a lot with you but I just erased it all, so obviously I wasnt meant to do that.
Instead I will take a little time to think more about how i will share with you about emotions and my own experiences.
I look forward to talking with you again very soon.
with much love and light to anyone who happens upon my blog,
Love Julia
