Awesome, Forrest. In psychology, the term "negative" regarding to emotions has switched to "uncomfortable" because the former can be perceived as something you are not supposed to experience and should avoid at all cost. All emotions are useful. They provide us with information for our survival. The problem with "negative" emotions is that we tend to get stuck and that for sure creates a burden. Om Japa is a great way to receive the information and let the emotion go. It's been a great addition to my bag of tricks! Thanks for sharing it. Blessings and blissings!
@@seane.9937 It all depends on the way I am experiencing the emotion. Sometimes it coincides with a chakra, but more often than not, I feel experience uncomfortable emotions in my solar plexus. When that's the case, In Om into it and helps me release the tension and get to a better place to face the challenge at hand. Sometimes though, it is not a challenge, it is just a reaction my body is having to the environment. Check out Antonio Damasio in this regard. Either way, Om Japa is a great tool. May you have a great experience with it!
@@seane.9937Wherever you feel the emotion or the chakra nearest to it. Forrest has more videos that explain this. It's good to experiment. I find the area right under the naval is a good catch-all to start with.
Negative emotions can be beneficial in weeding out the junk and s an aid in letting go. Great video, Forrest! ♥🙏 So funny, about Ashok and that high pitched tone telling you, "Clean it out, just clean it out!"
I love using Om japa with my practice. I love immersing in the sound. But since I started practicing Om japa in the chakras I feel like my consciousness expands even more by the time I do my kriyas. I hear the Om, breath Om into the chakra and feel the vibration. It's amazing! Thank you Forrest! ❤
i really needed this - i wish i had heard it a year ago, maybe before - but honestly; maybe i wouldn't be ready for it. I think it's important to realize you are getting in your own way before taking on this and succeeding - Thankyou!
I sit and do the HRV breathing and a little BPV at least a few minutes every day for a few weeks now, and even though I don’t really get the four proofs yet, I get a sense of peace, security, and clarity that lasts all day. I enjoy meditation now, thanks to Forrest’s teaching. When I get a little of the tranquil breath going and try to feel for negative feelings in the chakras to do om japa, I don’t feel anything much. It’s just the usual interoceptive feeling of those parts of my body. Maybe my pain is still too repressed. I’ll keep trying.
That's fantastic! If you are noticing the Tranquil Breath, then the 4 proofs have already been there, and you were trying to notice something too big. Try to notice just a little warmth in the hands. A little tingle. --- When a little emotion arises in your day, try the OM Japa then. ;) 🙏🙏
Forrest im so grateful for you sharing these ancient wisdoms and advice.Are we to be sitting in a meditation pose or may we do these throughout day wherever neg emotion crops up?😇🙏💙
That's what my guru was explaining to me. That I could do this all day while walking around, which I started calling Kriya Therapy. And no one has to know I'm doing it. ;) 🙏🙏🙏
It's best if you don't overcomplicate the instructions simply float up above the timeline that you found, using whatever imagination is available, and looking through your own eyes at the timeline some might worry that they don't have the ability to imagine so let me add that you can also feel, hear, or even smell or taste the sense of your subconscious timeline.
Thanks Forrest. So it's often that when I om into the negative emotion it will move. And I try to move with it repeatedly hitting a center. But it's often that it will just move, and there is a network of negativity there. I have been chanting into the entire network. I will often hold multiple points at once. This has been working but it's hard to do. And when I just do my entire body I cannot get it all to release. I have a feeling this is what they mean by complex trauma lol. Any advice?
@@ForrestKnutson ok, thank you. I found a definition of kriya as a "technique" of yoga. I wasn't sure what a kriya is. But it being a technique helps. Thanks again
