Hi there, Coach Cookie here. I wanted to talk about a condition, a situation that many of us can actually get into or get sucked into at some point in time in our lives if we are not intentionally doing anything about the circumstances that we find ourselves in or even the pressures and the stress that come with those circumstances. Now what I am talking about here is an unconscious mental and emotional overwhelm. Now when it comes to our emotions, in my practice I teach that emotions are actually energies in motion. It is the combination of our experience of the integration of the body and the mind where the body as a physical realm, as a physical part of our being, pretty much matches whatever energy the mind has been focusing on. So for example the mind is focused on the energy of fear and so when that energy is transformed into a thought and the mind focuses on that thought for a long time or for a time being, what happens is the body, because we are an integrated being and we actually have an integration between the body and the mind, so what happens is that the body will shift its chemistry, shift its biology, you know there will be changes in our biochemistry, in all the hormones and all of the neurotransmitters that we have in our physical form in order to match the program that is running in the mind. It's basically going to level up to where the mind is. Now this emotion, whatever that may be, okay, individual energies in motion can be experienced by us on a day-to-day basis, but sometimes we carry all of these negative energies, negative emotions for a very long time and we don't process them, we don't know how to take care of them, we don't know how to release them and they get piled up pretty much in the unconscious realm of our mind, because the mind is not only integrated to the body, there's also the integration of the mind and the spirit, which actually brings about the arena of our unconscious and this is where all of our experiences, all of our decisions, behaviors and past, whatever, you know, experience in life gets saved. All of the data, all of the information of every given experience that we have will be saved in our unconscious and if you have a whole lot of data, a whole lot of information regarding a very overwhelming emotion and a negative one at that, these programs will eventually be piled into the unconscious realm and when your unconscious mind has a whole lot of these energies, these programs running in the background, this is when we experience that unconscious overwhelm. We may never become aware that we are overwhelmed but we behave in many different ways that is just spilling these energies, these negative energies out into our world, okay, into everybody around us and so I wanted to touch on this particular idea that most of us, because we are unaware that we can actually get to this point where we get so overwhelmed unconsciously, there is a need for all of us to be equipped at least, to be informed, to be mindful and intentional in our learning and in our growth and equipping when it comes to dealing with our emotions, when it comes to dealing with whatever experiences we have in life and the emotions that go with them. So this is something that I want to be talking about and sharing about with you all in the coming weeks and hopefully you will join me in this journey as we delve into our unconscious overwhelm and maybe unpack our overwhelm, our unconscious.
