Your Emotion Matters - Gregg Braden (10:08)
Combining his discoveries with the best science of today, his research crosses the traditional boundaries of science, history, and religion offering fresh insights into ancient mysteries.
In this interview Gregg shares some of his findings regarding the wisdom of other cultures about how our thoughts, feelings, and emotions are key aspects of our inner world and can be powerful tools when used in the right way: If can use our thoughts to create a mental construct of something we would like to see manifest in the world. Then we can create positive emotions in our body and when the thought and the feeling come together coherently, a feeling in our heart is created and this feeling is the way we can communicate with the universe and make miracles happen.
The Emotional Guidance System Law Of Attraction (14:11)
Your emotions are always correct, and they are the highest source of wisdom you have access to.
Quantum physics demonstrates that when you are congruent and aligned in thoughts and feelings you have clear focused thoughts about your heart’s desires, accompanied by passionate emotional engagement you broadcast signals so our subconscious mind knows where to take you.

How I Became a Warrior
Once, I ran from fear
so fear controlled me.
Until I learned to hold fear like a newborn.
Listen to it, but do not give in.
Honor it, but not worship it.
Fear could not stop me anymore.
I walked with courage into the storm.
I still have fear,
but it does not have me.
Once, I was ashamed of who I was.
I invited shame into my heart.
I let it burn.
It told me, “I am only trying
to protect your vulnerability”.
I thanked shame dearly,
and stepped into life anyway,
unashamed, with shame as a lover.
Once, I had great sadness
buried deep inside.
I invited it to come out and play.
I wept oceans. My tear ducts ran dry.
And I found joy right there.
Right at the core of my sorrow.
It was heartbreak that taught me how to love.
Once, I had anxiety.
A mind that wouldn’t stop.
Thoughts that wouldn’t be silent.
So I stopped trying to silence them.
And I dropped out of the mind,
and into the Earth.
Into the mud.
Where I was held strong
like a tree, unshakeable, safe.
Once, anger burned in the depths.
I called anger into the light of myself.
I felt its shocking power.
I let my heart pound and my blood boil.
Listened to it, finally.
And it screamed, “Respect yourself fiercely now!”.
“Speak your truth with passion!”.
“Say no when you mean no!”.
“Walk your path with courage!”.
“Let no one speak for you!”
Anger became an honest friend.
A truthful guide.
A beautiful wild child.
Once, loneliness cut deep.
I tried to distract and numb myself.
Ran to people and places and things.
Even pretended I was “happy”.
But soon I could not run anymore.
And I tumbled into the heart of loneliness.
And I died and was reborn
into an exquisite solitude and stillness.
That connected me to all things.
So I was not lonely, but alone with All Life.
My heart One with all other hearts.
Once, I ran from difficult feelings.
Now, they are my advisors, confidants, friends,
and they all have a home in me,
and they all belong and have dignity.
I am sensitive, soft, fragile,
my arms wrapped around all my inner children.
And in my sensitivity, power.
In my fragility, an unshakeable Presence.
In the depths of my wounds,
in what I had named “darkness”,
I found a blazing Light
that guides me now in battle.
I became a warrior
when I turned towards myself.
And started listening.
