Gary Zukav Emotion Quotations

Painful emotions show you what prevents you from creating harmony, cooperation, sharing and reverence for life.

If your thoughts are thoughts that draw low-frequency energy current to you, your physical and emotional attitudes will deteriorate, and emotional or physical disease will follow, whereas thoughts that draw high-frequency energy current to you create physical and emotional health.

Emotions reflect intentions. Therefore, awareness of emotions leads to awareness of intentions.

Emotional pain of any kind is a reminder to stop and look inside.

We cannot control what emotions or circumstances we will experience next, but we can choose how we will respond to them.

Lack of self-worth is the fundamental source of all emotional pain. A feeling of insecurity, unworthiness and lack of valueis the core experience of powerlessness.

When you have an emotional reaction to what you see, you are judging. That is your signal that you have an issue inside of yourself - with yourself - not with the other person. If you react to evil, look inside yourself for the very thing that so agitates you, and you will find it. If it were not there, you will simply discern, act appropriately, and move on.

By choosing your thoughts, and by selecting which emotional currents you will release and which you will reinforce, you determine the quality of your Light. You determine the effects that you will have upon others, and the nature of the experiences of your life.

By experiencing your emotions somatically, there is no boogie man to scare you.

The human emotional system can be broken down into roughly two elements: fear and love. Love is of the soul. Fear is of the personality.

When you welcome your emotions as teachers, every emotion brings good news, even the ones that are painful.

Use emotional awareness and pay attention to your body - look [and locate] concrete physical sensations - like stabbing, aching, throbbing - and [distinguish and define them] by saying things like, "it is the size of a golf ball or it is the size of a baseball" - do whatever you can do to find painful physical sensations.

Most people use their energy attempting to rearrange circumstances that trigger painful emotions. Changing external circumstances will not change your rigid patterns of emotional response. That requires looking at the patterns themselves.

Be aware of emotional toxins as well as physical toxins. Be aware of what you are thinking. Clear yourself at the end of every day. Try not to go to bed angry or distressed or anxious or jealous or envious.

Love is not emotion, it's a way of being.
