I am interested in hearing what perspectives others may have, but I will offer this....

One must consider free will in the grand scheme of life. We are endowed with that gift.

Very thought provoking indeed.

Calin, would you like to hear what happened today, when I used thoughts to try and influence a situation? Maybe you can make sense of it all.

From the Book Emotional Freedom 101

"Thank You For Sharing"

Here is a very simple way to dismiss any mental self-talk that doesn't serve you.

1. Never resist thoughts or feelings. That makes them stay stuck.
2. Simply say to any unwanted thought or feeling, "Thank you for sharing."
3. Then simply let them go.

Through simple non-resistance - just a simple acknowledgement - we can often quiet the inner chatter.

This is very powerful.

I will share a few more techniques from the book as I did get permission from the author.

There are dozens and dozens of interesting techniques for "releasing" in the book.

You said it is powerful... have you tried it with success?

Yup, there is a phrase that says what you resist persists. And if you resist a thought it will persist however it can. When you just allow it and then acknowledge it then it will go away just like emotional freedom 101 says. You can't force something to go away because then it will stay. Just like a song stuck in your head that you can't seem to get rid of.LOL I have taught my kids this and they say it works as well.

This is what helped me. There is a free ebook on that site that explains how to do it.

I tried a little experiment. I smiled all the way to work. I purposely kept a smile on my face the whole time.

Try it... smile so that the wrinkles in the corners of your eyes crease. Then do something that you normally would do in the course of your day. Driving to work, doing the laundry, cooking a meal, getting kids ready for school, etc.

As you consciously keep a smile on your face, notice the quality of your thoughts while you were smiling. Notice your emotions, your feelings, your energy level. Pay attention - be aware of these things.

I would love to hear what your experience were!!

Explanations for Why Smiling Causes Happiness


While lots of research on smiles triggering happiness was performed in the last half-century, that spurt of interest was actually a renewed interest in the topic. The theory goes back to Darwin, who proposed in the 19th century that facial expressions didn't only reflect emotions, but also caused them.

A lack of good evidence for how that happened put the theory on the back burner for many years. But in the 1980s, some interesting studies on the physiology of smiling brought it back into the consciousness of the psychology field. One study found that when subjects contorted their faces to indicate fear, their body temperatures increased and their pulses sped up. Dr. Zajonc's research took this observation further, into a full-fledged proposal for why a smile might trigger happiness. It basically goes like this:

When the temperature of any body part changes, the chemical activities connected with that area also change. Therefore, when facial muscles are activated in an expression, the biochemical processes associated with those areas of the face are altered according to their temperature change. And research suggests that a cooler brain creates good emotions, while a warmer brain produces negative emotions [source: Goleman].

Zajonc points to the part of the body called the internal carotid artery, which is the "pipe" that delivers the majority of blood to the brain. This artery flows through an opening called the cavernous sinus, which contains lots of facial veins. When someone smiles, causing certain facial muscles to stretch and tighten, veins are constricted. This would cut down on the blood flowing to the cavernous sinus, which in turn would reduce the amount of blood flowing through the carotid artery to the brain. Less blood volume means the temperature of that blood drops.

When that cooler blood gets to the brain, brain temperature would drop, too, triggering a happy feeling. The theory works in reverse, too: Zajonc says that when the muscles involved in a frown tighten, the result is increased blood flow to the cavernous sinus and, by extension, a warmer brain.

I am all ears!!!

Feel at home in this thread!

Does this help with high-blood pressure? I will try to keep a smile on my face..!! :)

Hee hee. A few hours ago I saw my reflecting through the computer and improve my image with a smile. It's not particularly joyous (yet) but interesting you mention this now..... :)

I am all ears!!!

Feel at home in this thread!

It just feels so awkward to write, and I'm in disbelief at the experience.

But I watched a situation turn into something incredibly energetic and positive, to something that was getting out of control, and one person's mood in particular became very negative towards me with seemingly no real cause.

Although things were never so positive, things have also never been so negative. It got to the point where my friend elbowed me in the ribs.

I honestly felt as if it was my fault, as if I abused the situation.

From what little information I've given, do you see what happened?

Dear beforethefact, I will go on the assumption that I have enough information to give a possible explanation. And then I am going to think on it for a while. Perhaps others here can assist ... I know Dawn was curious to hear from you.

When a "balance" is disrupted, chaos or disorder ensues. If the chaos does not return to order of that balance, then I suspect that part of the original balance will fade away.

People want their loved ones and friends to be predictable and remain at their level of experience and consciousness.

What emotion were you projecting at the time?

People want their loved ones and friends to be predictable and remain at their level of experience and consciousness.

You are very correct, in my case. It feels terribly disrepectful to everyone.

We find opportunities to practice unconditional love often.

Look for things to appreciate in them. You will drop the disrespect feeling shortly.

Helpful?

You are right. It felt as if I was trying to control rather than influence. It's almost as if my friend knew what I was doing, and showed me what I was doing was harmful.
