How to Use Your Emotions for Your Higher Good

10/23/82How to Use Your Emotions for Your Highest Good – if you can you get to the center of an emotion or feeling, and really accept it for what it is, suddenly you discover that it’s gone.Part 1 – TalkSwami Kriyananda gave many talks on how to handle our emotions and this one takes a different twist.He said it helps us to think of this topic in relationship to our spiritual development. Instead of thinking of conquering, rising above or suppressing your emotions, it’s better to approach them with the idea of using them for your highest good.The difference between emotional joy and true joy is that true joy is from within and centered in the Self. It’s the joy of the soul. If you have a kind of joy that is like an extension “out there” somewhere, there is tension involved in it, and as a result you have to pull back from it sooner or later. If you can find a joy that’s centered in yourself, a spiritual joy, then there isn’t any opposite to that.To support this work, go to: https://www.ananda.org/support/treasures/
