The Power of Emotion: Using your Emotional Energy to Transform Your Life
by Michael Sky
"An ideal life: Emotional energy flows throughout the body in regular, life-sustaining currents and extends beyond the body in radiant, life-connecting fields. You experience this always-moving energy as a quiet, gentle tingling (almost tickling) sensation and a systemwide feeling of simple pleasure. You feel good. This good feeling subsists as your ground of being-the primary matrix through which you perceive, experience and respond."
"Insisting that children control their emotional expression as a necessary aspect of maturity, however, means actively suppressing the pulsing, luminous promise of childhood. Unfortunately, the more that adults struggle with their own emotional energies, the more they will struggle with the naturally bursting exuberance of children and the more they will demand: rein it in, control it, stop it.
Grow up. Now. Or else."
