| Emotions 105

At those times we are experiencing an emotion which ideally we would not choose, we can change the emotional state by doing the following exercise in a safe space; simply standing with our eyes closed, arms by our sides, and start to slightly sway our body, yet with our head swaying somewhat independently. After only a couple of minutes and before the swaying naturally subsides, the exercise appears to balance our physical, mental and emotional state. Often towards the end, we may experience a goosebump sensation. However, if the emotion has affected us deeply, or we continue to mull it over, we may need to repeat the exercise at a later time.
