Emotional Guidance System

How are you feeling? Put a smile on your face.

How are you feeling? Put a smile on your face.

As I said in my previous post, I’ve been listening to the Law of Attraction CD collection by Esther and Jerry Hicks. One of the main topics they cover is the use of your Emotional Guidance System; “Your emotions are your physical indication of your relationship with your Inner Being” (taken from The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks). Your Emotional Guidance System lets you know if you are in harmony with your Inner Being by way of how you feel. If you feel good, you’re in tune, if you feel bad, you’re not. It’s that simple.

Every thought you think puts out a vibration. Through the Law of Attraction, you’re attracting to you things that are in harmony with the vibration you are putting out. Instead of trying to keep track of all of your thoughts, you can simply use your Emotional Guidance System to see how you are feeling at any given time. If you feel good, then you’re on track, if you feel bad, you’re not.

So what do you do if you feel bad?

Reach for a better feeling thought! According to the Hicks, The Emotional Guidance System uses the following scale:

Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation
Passion
Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness
Positive Expectation/Belief
Optimism
Hopefulness
Contentment
Boredom
Pessimism
Frustration/Irritation/Impatience
Overwhelment
Disappointment
Doubt
Worry
Blame
Discouragement
Anger
Revenge
Hatred/Rage
Jealousy
Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness
Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness

Let’s say you are feeling very jealous about something. For instance, you just heard your girlfriend was flirting with someone. You could use your Emotional Guidance System and this scale to get yourself back on track. Your thought process might go something like this:

“I can’t believe she would flirt with another guy!” – Jealousy
“I’m so pissed at her right now!” – Hatred/Rage
“I’m going to cuss her out when I talk to her” Revenge
“Who does she think she is?” Anger
“I’m really disappointed right now” – Discouragement
“She’s got me all worked up!” – Blame
“Would she really cheat on me?” – Worry
“I don’t think she would cheat on me” – Doubt
“This whole thing is making me sad” – Disappointment
“I have to talk to her about this!” – Frustration/Irritation/Impatience
“This is the second relationship something like this has happened in” – Pessimism
“Where is she at?” – Boredom
“Relax. Things will be fine” Hopefulness
“Cindy and I have a good relationship. I don’t even know if this is true” – Hopefulness
“I’m sure it’s just BS” – Optimism
“I’ll talk to her and everything will be fine” – Positive Expectation/Belief
“I love Cindy and am grateful to have her in my life” – Love

By the way, you don’t have to go through each and every single item on the scale. Sometimes it’s just easier to go up the scale one item at a time, instead of trying for instance to jump from hate to love (although it can be done, you just have to focus on it).

So take your Emotional Guidance System for a spin. Next time you are feeling really good or excited, realize that you are on the right track. If you catch yourself feeling negative or down, realize that you are putting out a vibe that is not in harmony with your true you. Start to focus your thoughts on thoughts that feel better, even if you only move a little bit up the scale each time. Over time, as you become more in tune with your Emotional Guidance System, you’ll be able to catch early on thoughts that are of a negative nature. This will make it much easier and smoother to change them to something that will be more positive and beneficial for you.

Your emotional guidance system will serve you well every single time. I urge you to follow Tony’s advice on that. You’ll learn about how you’re getting what you’re getting in life by knowing what signals you’re sending to the Universe via your emotions.
