“The Moon rules our emotional nature, how we react in situations, and what is needed in our lives to make us feel emotionally safe and secure.”
“How you react emotionally is a choice in any situation.”
“Taking a risk is something we do not for our mind but for how it makes us feels, emotions it brings, excitement it creates and I feel alive.”
“For my part, I think we need more emotion, not less. But I think, too, that we need to educate people in how to feel. Emotionalism is not the same as emotion. We cannot cut out emotion - in the economy of the human body, it is the limbic, not the neural, highway that takes precedence. We are not robots...but we act as though all our problems would be solved if only we had no emotions to cloud our judgement.”
“...our memory is enhanced by the emotion attending the event. The more intense the feelings the more accessible to the memory is the event. Few of us live lives so emotionally charged that we can truly, accurately retrieve all of it. ...Often only our crisis events are preserved with strong emotions. For our own survival we can't forget them, and then we too easily forget the good stuff.”
“In order to live in the present, we have to learn how to feel safe even when a situation feels threatening to us.”
