Emotional Pollution, Expressing Versus Sending

28 February 2016

 - The shaman knows that everything is energy.  Strong emotions are energy, and its important to know the difference between expressing an emotion versus sending it.

When you send your emotion, rather than express it that energy ends up being dumped on the receiver.  Often times that person will then react in a way that dumps the emotion on the next person.  Traffic anger is a really good example of this.  An aggressive driver speeds up and moves around you cutting you off.  Your get angry, and when a new person comes along to pass them you refuse to let them in.  They respond by speeding up and cutting off someone further on in traffic.  The aggressive energy of such situations gets passed on and sometimes grows.

We can all think of a time when we yelled at someone, or was short with them.  Maybe we said, “I’m sorry, I was really angry because this guy at the bank…” fill in the blank.  You took on energy from someone’s actions, and needed an outlet.  A release valve to let out the steam.  You needed that outlet whether the person you released it on really did anything to provoke you or not.
