The Heart of the Soul by Gary Zukav
Your energy system has seven centers. As energy flows through each center in your energy system, it creates different experiences in you. Those experiences are your emotions. There are two ways energy can leave your energy system : in fear and doubt or in love and trust. Fear and doubt produce painful emotions, such as anger, jealousy, grief, and vengefulness. When energy leaves a center in fear and doubt, the result is always painful. Love and trust produce positive emotions, such as gratitude, contentment , and joy. Positive emotions are always produced when energy leaves a center in love and trust. No matter where or how energy leaves your energy system, it produces an emotion. Any painful emotion means you are Acting ,Speaking,Thinking in Fear and Doubt. Every emotion is a physical experience. Emotional awareness is noticing what sensations you are feeling in your body, and where. Your energy system continually produces physical sensations in the vicinity of each its centers. Those sensations are your emotions. Recognizing where and how energy leaves your energy system is the foundation of spiritual growth. All of your emotions originate in the same place - your energy system. Before you can change the way you process energy, you must become aware of how you are processing it. Emotional pain of any kind is a reminder to stop look inside.<7th center> The seventh center is at the crown of your head. This center connects you with the nonphysical Universe. As long as you live, energy flows into your energy system through the center at the crown of your head and moves downward to the base of your torso. Then it reverses direction, moves upward, and leaves your energy system where it entered. It also leaves your energy system through the other six centers at the same time.<6th canter> The sixth center is in your forehead, between your eyes. This center allows you to know the intentions of others, even if they do not express them. It enables you to recognize the opportunities that your experiences offer you to grow spiritually. When energy leaves this center in love and trust, you see the wisdom and compassion of the Universe wherever you look. When it leaves in fear and doubt, what you see appears cold and frightening. When this center processes energy in love and trust, you become clear. <5th center> The fifth center is in the vicinity of your throat. When energy leaves the fifth center love and trust, you express yourself clearly and easily. Your voice is full and strong. When energy leaves this center in fear and doubt, your expressions is constricted and you cannot convey what you feel. Your throat or neck becomes tight. Your voice is weak and hoarse. The first three center form a group. Through this group energy enters your energy system, enables you to see beyond the limitation of your five senses, and empowers you to express yourself. The fourth center is in your chest. When energy leaves this center in love and trust, you radiate warmth and compassion. You feel connected to all Life. When energy leaves this center in fear and doubt, you are cold and distant. People appear as objects. You are interested in things, not neighbors. When energy leaves this center in fear and doubt, your chest hurts. When energy leaves this center in love and trust, you are available to others. Your chest is relaxed.The center in your chest is the heart of your energy system. it is at the center.It connects the centers above it with the center below it. from Processing Energy, Part 1
