寧靜的心跡 (27) 做情緒的觀察者


情緒是我們感知外界的重要管道,影響著我們的思想、行為和身體狀態。情緒的影響可能是正面的,也可能是負面的,這取決於我們如何觀察和管理它們。更好地利用情緒,可以幫助我們了解自己和周圍的環境。

情緒是由多種因素構成的,包括生理反應、心理感受和環境因素等。我們不應評斷自己的情緒,因為這只會讓我們更加關注它們,而忽略它們的來源。相反,我們應該中立地對待情緒,觀察它們的發生和消失。

例如,我們可以簡單地將情緒分為A和B,而不給予它們具體的名稱或評價。這樣,當情緒A消失,情緒B出現時,我們可以更加清晰地看到情緒的轉變。這種方法可以幫助我們與情緒保持適當的距離,避免將其放大或沉迷其中。

我們的快樂和悲傷都是由許多不同的因素構成的。感到快樂,意味著我們想要保留一些東西,而感到悲傷則意味著我們正在拒絕一些東西。這些情緒反映的是我們潛意識裡的欲望,而不是有意識的需要。因此,當我們的焦點改變,保留與拒絕、喜歡與不喜歡也會改變。

情緒只是我們對情況的反應,而不是情況的直接結果。透過長期的練習,我們可以給各種情緒最平淡的名字,然後像看電影一樣觀察它們的場景。這樣可以幫助我們成為情緒的真正觀察者,讓理智引導情感,讓意識掌控生命。不被情感蒙蔽,我們就能夠看清自己真正的需要。

生命只是需要生存和繁衍,所以我們必須遠離那些會導致生命消耗或死亡事物。然而,我們的自我常常與生命作對,導致情緒失控,驅使生命去賭博,並祈求虛幻的勝利。因此,觀察情緒,是我們了解自己、提高意識的重要一步。

做情緒的觀察者,可以幫助我們理解自我的虛幻本質,及其負面影響。透過掌控自己的情緒,我們可以讓自己的生命遠離賭博,更加安全和穩定。在意識的保護下,我們不僅能夠體驗豐富的情感,也更容易與別人分享感受。

自我反思、正念練習、運動和放鬆、正向思考和與人連結,都可以幫助我們成為自己情緒的真正觀察者,提升意識,過著更加平靜和充實的生活。

情緒是我們生活的一部份。學會觀察和管理,我們將能理性地表達自己的情緒。能夠控制自己的情緒,我們也能夠以情緒為橋樑,與別人建立良好關係。每種情緒都有價值和意義。因此,接納並享受情緒,可以讓我們的生命如萬花筒般多姿多彩。

The path to tranquility (27)
Being an observer of emotions


Emotions are an important channel for us to perceive the outside world and affect our thoughts, behaviors and physical state. The impact of emotions can be positive or negative, depending on how we observe and manage them. Making better use of our emotions can help us understand ourselves and our surroundings.

Emotions are made up of many factors, including physiological reactions, psychological feelings, and environmental factors. We shouldn’t judge our emotions because that only makes us focus more on them and ignore where they’re coming from. Instead, we should treat emotions neutrally and observe them as they arise and pass.

For example, we can simply classify emotions as A and B without giving them specific names or evaluations. This way, when emotion A disappears and emotion B appears, we can see the emotional transition more clearly. This approach can help us maintain an appropriate distance from our emotions and avoid amplifying or becoming obsessed with them.

Our happiness and sadness are made up of many different factors. Feeling happy means we want to keep something, while feeling sad means we are rejecting something. These emotions reflect our subconscious desires rather than conscious needs. Therefore, when our focus changes, retention and rejection, likes and dislikes also change.

Emotions are simply our reactions to situations, not the direct result of the situation. Through long-term practice, we can give the most bland names to various emotions, and then watch their scenes like watching a movie. This can help us become true observers of emotions, let reason guide emotions, and let consciousness control life. Without being blinded by our emotions, we can see our true needs.

Life simply needs to survive and reproduce, so we must stay away from things that will cause life to be consumed or die. However, our ego often goes against life, causing emotions to get out of control, driving life to gamble, and praying for illusory victories. Therefore, observing emotions is an important step in understanding ourselves and improving our consciousness.

Being an observer of our emotions can help us understand the illusory nature of the self and its negative effects. By taking control of our emotions, we can make our lives gambling-free, safer and more stable. Under the protection of consciousness, we can not only experience rich emotions, but also share our feelings more easily with others.

Self-reflection, mindfulness practices, movement and relaxation, positive thinking and connecting with others can all help us become true observers of our own emotions, increase our awareness, and live a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

Emotions are part of our lives. By learning to observe and manage, we will be able to express our emotions rationally. If we can control our emotions, we can also use emotions as a bridge to build good relationships with others. Every emotion has value and meaning. Therefore, accepting and enjoying emotions can make our lives as colorful as a kaleidoscope.
