Certain emotions will generate a huge amount of energy: in
the absence of a connection between our mind and our
emotions, our capacity for mindful considered thought is
diminished.

This fuels a reactive state of living that is always highly
emotionally charged.

When we can take considered actions that are reflective,
thoughtful and based in conscious choice, rather than
generating emotionally charged re-actions, life tends to run far
more smoothly.

When our mind can listen to and receive our emotions, and
with reflection, make considered, conscious choices, we
become far more in charge of our actions and therefore far
more in charge of our own lives.

The connection between our mind and emotions and the
fluency of our ‘internal emotional language’ will enable us to
make sense of the way that we feel in any given circumstance
both good or challenging.

This connection will underpin our capacity to negotiate our
daily life experiences, even the challenging ones, with
confidence, durability and resilience.
