Naming the emotion

Emotion is movement. It starts the reactions that are needed to act, coordinates the internal functions to respond to the stimuli that comes trough the perception that we have of what happened (real or memory). The first step is learning to identify and recognize an emotion. Accept its presence.

The primary emotion are rage, happiness, fear, sadness, disgust and surprise: all of them have been with us seen we were born. We need to be in the present, in this moment in which everything is happening, I resort to respiration: breath consistently, realizing that the air in me, it fills me, I exhale and breathe in once again. When we are capable of naming an emotion, we are taking conscience of it and the bodily sensations that cause in me.

*Without judging, keeping myself in this moment, I allow the emotion to unfold on me, without losing myself in it and recognizing that I am not the emotion. Past this, the time will come to reflect on what has happened. 

“In the emotion there is no reflection”.-
