Yet Western society trains us from our earliest years to repress this vital energy source. In The Power of Emotion Michael Sky details four simple but potent tools to aid in the productive channelling of powerful emotional energy: active acceptance; dynamic relaxation; conscious, connected breathing; and creative choice. Taken together these tools create a lifestyle that frees suppressed emotional energies and allows for better physical health, mental clarity, creativity, and more satisfying relationships. Through meditative breathing practices at the end of each chapter readers will learn to positively experience and develop their emotions to accomplish their goals.
