Program Description Emotions are messengers that help us learn and evolve. If we can learn to properly channel our emotions we can begin to work with them in vibrant and ingenuous ways. We cripple ourselves unnecessarily when we call some emotions “positive” and other emotions “negative.” All emotions can be positive if they arise at the appropriate time, and we manage them appropriately—just as all emotions can be negative if they’re stuck in a feedback loop, or if we ignore them, hurl them at others, or try to keep ourselves jacked up with them at all times. Each emotion arises for a different reason. In this conversation you’ll learn how to properly channel your emotions as you begin to work with them in vibrant and ingenious ways. McLaren explores how we can incorporate the five empathic skills, so you won’t be knocked over by your strong emotional flows such as: Grounding, Setting Boundaries, Burning Contracts, Conscious Complaining, and Rejuvenation. Learn how to burn your “unconscious contracts” holding you back from healthy living in mind, body, and spirit. Explore “conscious complaining” and how it can clear out our clogged up psyche and restore flow to our being, and many other skills as well. (Hosted by Justine Willis Toms) Bio Karla McLaren is an award-winning author and pioneering educator whose empathic approach to emotions has taken her through the healing of her own childhood trauma into an empathic-healing career, and now into the study of sociology, neurology, cognitive psychology, and social psychology.
