Emotional Center
From ChannelingWiki
The emotional center is the heart center, that of comprising emotion. Emotions comprise a certain frequency range of energy and are far more expansive than what most people consider emotions. You could look at it as E-motion, or energy in motion, as the emotional center is also an access point for energy such as that used in energetic healing and Reiki.
The most manifested expression of the Emotional Center is self-love. This is not a dismissal or denial of your negativity, fear and insecurities, but rather a welcoming of all variances in your field of energy that make up who you are at any given moment.
The positive pole of the emotional center is +perception. When the emotional center is open, clear, balanced, and communicative with the other centers such as the Intellectual Center, then you have a good sense of inner knowingness, as your heart is a main access point to who you are. When you are true perception, you are transcending limitations of space and time to see the innate nature of What Is.
The negative pole of the emotional center is -sentimentality. Rather than using the full resources of the emotional center, you are triggered by events which brings up existing wells of emotion. Your perception is over-simplified based on an emotionally colored view of the world. You would reduce a vibrant person or event to one symbol. One example might be crying at all weddings, no matter what the atmosphere or vows made. Another might be to overreact - say a cat you love is threatened outside, so you sentimentally might say it's not worth any risk and confine the cat indoors, even if the cat doesn't have as much joy to share with you.
Inhabiting the Emotional Center
Emotions are always experienced in the present moment; Eckhart Tolle's teachings from from an Intellectually Centered teacher who has learned to be in the emotional center. The more you see the new-ness and beauty of every moment, unique and precious, the more you inhabit the emotional center in the positive pole. Comparisons bring you out of the emotional center into the intellect. This is not bad - it is simply a different center.
The lack of comparisons and labels is an essential part of balancing the emotional center. All emotions and energies have their uses and are perfect. In western society, we have tended to block emotions and view some as "good" and some as "bad". Or perhaps it is bad that some emotions aren't accepted. This is a paradox, because you can only accept emotions or situations to the degree that you have given yourself permission not to feel and accept.
