In this intimate audio essay, Anne V Mühlethaler reflects on Rebecca Shaw's piercing observation about watching powerful men "burn the world down." Through her own journey of frustration and self-reflection, Anne explores how our childhood coping mechanisms shape adult perspectives on "us vs. them."Drawing from both psychological insights and Buddhist wisdom, Anne examines how the very qualities we despise in others might mirror parts of ourselves we'd rather not see. She weaves Dr. Guralnik's work on political polarization - how early experiences of "splitting" the world into all-good or all-bad persist into adulthood - with Buddhist teachings that offer a pathway forward through radical acceptance.From confronting her own "inner dictator" to embracing ancient wisdom about sitting with difficult emotions, Anne invites listeners to consider: What if the key to healing our divided world begins with acknowledging the complexity within ourselves?Selected links from episode: The opinion piece by Rebecca Shaw in the GuardianThe guest essay in the New York Times by Dr Orna Guralnik Wealth extremismTara Brach's article about inviting Mara to teaThe Metta View This episode is brought to you by AVM Consulting Struggling to connect with your audience?

Coming Up for Air - Families Speak to Families about Addiction
We sometimes hitch our well-being to another person's behavior and emotional state. Strong negative emotions can get in the way of connection. When they happen, notice and respond, but don't derail with the other person. You can see your thoughts as stories -- what story are you telling yourself that produces your emotions? The idea is to turn your attention to yourself and what the emotion is doing to you. Try to slow down so you can be most effective, and work on your own sense of well-being, which will positively affect your loved one. Take time to work on your emotions separately, not dumping them on others. Ask "How do I manage and express this emotion in a productive way?" This is the beginning of stronger connection.
What is high-functioning anxiety? Dr Lalitaa Suglani takes us through everything you need to know – how HFA shows up day to day; where it comes from; and what you can do if you think you might have HFA. Dr Suglani is an award-winning psychologist and author of High-Functioning Anxiety: A 5-step guide to calming the inner panic and thriving (Hay House). We get into Dr Lalitaa's own story of how HFA masked her dyslexia, ADHD, and how perfectionism and people-pleasing were running her life. She shares key actions you can start implementing right away if you recognize HFA in your own life. Poignant and practical. Join us! 1:43 What is HFA? 3:14 What would you be seeing day to day at work with something who has HFA? 4:28 Does HFA show up the same way for men and women? 6:38 Where HFA might come from. 8:06 Lalitaa's own story. 15:48 Steps to kick off the “unlearning” part of the process. 19:51 Noticing when you're catastrophising, and when dysregulation.

Moojibaba offers grounding guidance to a devoted student seeking help. He encourages her to continue with the current exercise, saying that these fluctuations from person to presence are normal in the process of awakening. "I'm not disappointed, because I know that we have to go through this. You have to taste failure. You have to taste what it's like to be back in your mind when you've been in your heart. It doesn't feel good, does it? But you know that's not your real place. There's something in you that is not touched. It doesn't belong to the world. It's not touched by your moods or the world. It's independent of that. That space is the only thing about you that's permanent. This body will go. The mind will go. All these things will go except This."
Almost all land mammals have tear glands around their eyes, and it is thought that these are primarily used to keep eyes most and clean. However, humans are relatively unique in that we are one of only a couple of mammals that cry when overcome with emotion as well as when we have something stuck in our eye. Now, new research published in the journal PLOS biology thinks it might know why we cry when we get emotional, and it's all to do with keeping us safe when things get tense. The researchers started by looking at previous research that found the tears of female mice contained chemicals which affected aggression networks in the brain of male mice. When exposed to these tear chemicals, the level of fighting between male mice reduced. The other study they looked at found that when human males smelled women's emotional tears, their levels of testosterone were reduced. Knowing that testosterone levels and aggression are related, the scientists then ran a series of experiments where human males were asked to play a video game designed to provoke revenge-seeking aggression from one player to another. During their game, the men were asked to smell an odourless liquid – for some this was a control liquid, and for others this was a liquid made up of ‘emotional tears' from 6 female donors. The study also scanned brain activity of the men while they were sniffing the ‘emotional tears' using an MRI scanner. The researchers found that in the game experiment, male aggression reduced by 44 percent for the players that smelled the women's tears when compared to those who smelled the control solution. The brain scans also showed changes in the brain activity around regions of the brain that connect olfaction and aggression in the males who were sniffing the tears. The researchers go on to suggest that this might be why babies cry so much - to help reduce aggression around when they are at an age where they are defenceless. While this study only looked at the effect of female tears on male aggression, there is no reason to think that the effect might be the same for the tears of all genders.

The enemy is always trying to find a foothold in our hearts. The paths the enemy can take are many, but one of them is through our strong emotions[1] — such as anger, rage, unforgiveness or despair.

Jon shares his powerful journey of fighting the spiritual war that was being waged in his life where he had demonic encounters and experienced a miraculous healing. Jon talks about how he now helps people process strong emotions in a healthy way, and not in a destructive manner. He also discusses the importance of recognizing these feelings and how they manifest physiologically and biochemically in the body. In addition, Jon talks about how the Scriptures and your spiritual community can help you over come spiritual attacks. Do you want to learn how to process your strong emotions and fight your spiritual battles? Then, join us in this incredible conversation.

He took daily medication to address it, and also prayed to God every night.His illness affected more than just his growth — it affected several bodily functions. Eventually, his family's insurance ran out, preventing him from receiving treatment.This moment was full of strong emotions — specifically anger.Jon and his mother prayed one final time in a car. According to Jon, God healed him during the prayer. A medical test indicated that he was well.In that moment, Jon decided he would follow Jesus. But this was only the beginning of his journey.[00:07:47] Jon: "And as soon as I made that decision, like, God, I'm going to pursue with everything I have? My life got ten times harder."[00:08:06] The True Beginning of Jon's JourneyJon grew up in a culture of athletics, but his illness made it nearly impossible. He saw God's healing as a sign that he should play football.Jon went on to train extremely hard — four hours a day for six days a week.Unfortunately, the next seven years were marked with difficult, strong emotions: depression, suicidal ideation, and even seeing demons in the night.Jon thought God had abandoned him. But he learned that there was a spiritual explanation for his hardship: his strong emotions, especially his anger.Listen to the full episode for the story behind Jon's anger and rage.[00:12:51] Practical Steps to Fighting a Spiritual BattleThe true war is in the spirit; your spirit is what the Enemy wants to take.Jon recommends starting with Scripture. It became Jon's weapon in spiritual warfare. Next, take every thought and make it obedient to Christ.Jon waged a spiritual war all throughout high school. His spiritual community helped him stay true to his faith.[19:20] Jon: "One of the biggest reasons we struggle is because we are in isolation, and not in community."Jon achieved so much in the physical world, but he learned he would not be able to survive this world without God.[22:37] A New HeartJon's strong emotions — his anger, his rage — were replaced by God. God gave him a new heart.Jon learned to use his anger to instead do something good.He played the most violent positions in football, but the loss of anger in his heart made it difficult to play those roles.[31:03] Our Experiences Write Us[31:06] Jon: "Every one of us has a past, everyone has had a childhood. And every one of us has experiences that have happened over the course of time that have impacted us in a deeply profound way."Powerful events, experiences, and strong emotions all change parts of us down to the genetic level.Bring those experiences to the Lord; not doing so leaves the door open to the Enemy.Jon has four basic questions that help people manage and handle strong emotions. Listen to the complete episode for the full process.[39:40] Strong Emotions; Strong DesiresOur gut reactions are an attempt to fulfill a deeper, internal desire that's not being met.Processing emotion helps us identify the desires within us. Even Jesus had strong emotions — he too flipped tables.The critical thing to do in that moment is to find the act that would glorify God.[46:49] Reagan: "Keep praying. The Lord just keeps reminding me: keep praying. He can do anything."[49:29] The Future for Jon OdomJon dreams of seeing people come to know who Jesus is.Jon believes that the way we become like Jesus is by beholding and doing our best to see the truth behind what Scripture portrays him to be.We are challenged to see the glory of God and to fix our eyes on it.Enjoyed this Episode?If you did, subscribe and share it with your friends!Post a review and share it!

Try this body-scan meditation to ground your mind in the present moment and in your body, guided by Spring Washam. How to do this practice: Find a comfortable seat where you can relax your body. Beginning with the top of your head, relax any sense of tension, one body part at a time. Slowly scan down to your face, neck, upper arms, hands, feeling their presence. You might want to place your hands on your belly to feel your breath and let go. End by placing your hand on your heart and offer your body some kindness.

What do we do when we don't seem to feel much emotion? How can we understand this experience, and what is God's call to us in it? Listen as Alasdair Groves talks about the experience of numb emotions. “Each one of us will face different struggles, but for each of us, there's an opportunity to walk toward the Lord and walk toward each other. If you experience a lack of emotion, that in and of itself is always an opportunity to speak to the Lord and to speak to others.” Related resources: Untangling Emotions | Book by Alasdair Groves and Winston Smith https://www.ccef.org/book/untangling-emotions/ Strong Emotions, Extreme Confidence | Blog post by Ed Welch https://www.ccef.org/strong-emotions-extreme-confidence/ Engaging Our Emotions, Engaging with God | Blog post by Alasdair Groves https://www.ccef.org/engaging-our-emotions-engaging-god/

Claiming ALL our emotions is absolutely necessary for becoming so much more. However, we live in a world that often tells us that we are "overly emotional," or (even worse) "too sensitive." What's the deal with that? It is that our culture conditions us to deny the power of emotions, which are deeply rooted in the sacred feminine. In this first part of my talk on emotions, I dive into the stories of "difficult women," and their "troublesome emotions," like anger and anxiety, and then discuss how we can start to see that all our feelings are sacred. Becoming comfortable with all our emotions is part of the healing journey found in the safety of Hekate's Cave: "To enter Hekate's cave is to embark on the journey back to the soul. This is a lunar quest, illuminated by the goddess' torches, following the rattle of her keys, and embracing the shadow within. An adventure equal parts exciting and daunting. In depth psychology, the concept of wholeness implies that we are intentionally integrating the shadow with the soul. The radical acceptance of our light and darkness is the path of truth. This is not the popular hero's journey where all is bright, with conquest as the goal. Instead, we journey towards healing and understanding. The journey is inherently feminine, which is to say that it is associated with the traditional energies associated with this principle – intuition, introspection, and emotions." - from Entering Hekate's Cave: The Journey Through Darkness to Wholeness.

Some emotions like anxiety, fear, overwhelm and helplessness tend to hijack both our mind and our physiology. Our body goes into "survival mode" and often we can't access our higher, reasoning brain in those moments. So the ability to adopt a different thought or mindset may not even be within reach, until we settle our bodies. In this episode I will teach you how to ground yourself (aka get back in your body) and from there you can work on the cognitive approach of considering a shift in perspective. THIS is how to have emotional health. Don't skip this! To join my bi-weekly e-inspiration list, text REKINDLE to 66866.
I've been dealing with some major burnout and strong emotions lately, so I thought I'd share a quote from a book I read recently which really resonated about how to deal with and process strong emotions. Awesome Quote“Acknowledge your emotions. All of them. Even the ugly and scary ones. Resisting them only lets them build up and makes them harder to deal with. Don't be ashamed of your strong emotions. Give them a voice. If it's not safe to express to people, write them out. Vent them on the page. If you don't have time to express them, take a minute to admit them to yourself. And when you have the time, give them that voice and that time. You owe it to yourself to have every emotion you feel.”—https://amzn.to/3RU6z5l (Full Rigged), by Rebecca Connolly, Sophia Summers, and Heather B. MooreTips to Deal with Strong EmotionsBaseline Hack: Acknowledge ALL Emotions—don't bottle them up inside (it only makes it worse). Talk it Out to Someone You Trustfriend, family member, accountability group Vent Them Through Writingwrite or journal about the feelings or emotions Admit Them to Yourself & GodPersonal story about me being angry and having to talk to God to get the emotion out. https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Jeremiah-33-3/ (Jeremiah 33:3) - Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

I had a conversation with a friend who dialed me in after I had prematurely come to the conclusion that feeling strong emotions equaled a low EQ. Then, I had some reflection after feeling bad after receiving some positive feedback. Is it ok to like / appreciate words of affirmation from others? Is it a sign of weakness?
