The Craft

[Raphael]

I was just given this NPL Craft knowledge and experience.. And I remember having had this same programs given at start of New Years in SDA church.. They had people present write down their bad characters and that they would like to discard and at closing tore that list and closed with prayer.. It had no impression on me..

Then I had this "Craft".. In split seconds it overcame my like lifelong traumas, hurt and heart pain.. Each participant was given 3 sets of paper.. 1st was to write down (accompanied with music) everything that hurts, traumatizes, mental blocks, mentally and emotionally cripples you (current and particularly all your life).. 2nd step was to write down everything that makes you feel good about yourself, strengthens you and lifts you (accompanied with music), 3rd final was to rewrite the bad list but with a "countering but" (antonymly) and clash the 2 together in your mind.. 

I learned it's not the logic the matters most but the feelings related.. A simple example.. I had severe life-long traumas and mental blocks of feeling inferior and sorta small.. Now I imagined in my heart that I'm waving my hand in the air to the left, where that sorta area will be the "abyss" "towards death" "lost" area section.. And to the right would be the "hope" "help" "solution" "still not lost" section.. And then.. Inquire/ask/search in your heart-mind-feelings.. Upon the content of both sides.. Ofcourse you will pay more attention to the right side.. Now your subconscious and or angel may answer your heart inquiries and give answers.. On the left area there shouldn't be surprises cause you are already living and doing that like all your life.. But the right side will be interesting cause there will be answers that may not be terribly dramatic.. Like, "well, people still care for you".. Not so dramatic ya? But capture the subtle tiny weeny point of positivity or postive feeling encapsulated in it.. The feelings encapsulated there are always positive and uplifting, no matter how undramatic or insignificant the answer provided.. Focus on that positivity, regardless of how the answer sounds so undramatic.. While focusing on that, collide that positivity with the matching negativity (in this case "feeling inferior and small").. When you got that in a nutshell in your mind and with "hands-on experience", you can do this sorta instantly any moment, any time, when the need arises.. (no more need of papers, writing and music)

Without the deepest involvement of the mind, Craft or anything like this will be useless..

Ohhh terrible mistake.. Not NPL but NLP.. NeuroLinguisticPrograming 

Anyway setting time aside to concentrate on all of one's hurts, pains, and agonies and listing it, then making an opposite list, then clashing them both sorta is far more comprehensive then doing it just "on-the-fly"

Emotion and feelings can be illustrated as food.. Food has great effect on the body.. Can make one feel incredibly better, while spoiled food cause terrible experiences.. Now in general, if talking about (bad) moods, we tend to sink inside in search for what causes these feelings.. Like thinking what made the food spoiled.. When it's in most cases it's a useless thing to do.. What cures bad moods would be good moods, simple.. Like the cure for spoiled food is good food (rough illustration).. (too far and too distantly related to go into the process of why & what made food spoiled or what these experiences & thoughts that causes bad moods..)

Now in conventional ways.. To bring about good moods are good activities and experiences, which aren't easy and instead tricky to make happen.. Not to mention the doe and time and energy demanded.. Very hassling and complicated in conclusion..

But if learning to command (I'm still learning too) various good healthy emotions through, at first, these crafting methods.. And later getting more expert cause getting to master it on a subconscious level.. And therefore upgrading it.. Then later I'm sure one can do it as effectively "on the fly"..

The sample in the first post is on traumatic, phobia feelings, memories and moods versus the opposite, which then heals.. Not increasing one's confidence levels super dramatically.. But there are farther alternating angles besides that, which is best tried after really exhausting the first one.. Other alternatives are like spirited (positively) versus negative or positive but non spirited.. 

The first only returns one to normality while the second brings one to an attack/on-the-initiative-sorta mood like very spirited to live..

There are many other alternates I guess.. But the point is mastering these moods & feelings and further being able to command it at snapping top processor speed..

As earlier mentioned, this takes time to digest into subconscious active mastery.. Maybe this is also that popular emotional intelligence thingy.. But never detailed into how to get there.. Just themes and titles that I saw in that emotional intelligence topics..

The steps of writing down worst and best experiences, to guide thoughts to those particular emotions we need to identify, get familiar with and be able to command at snapping speed.. Can be evolved to further phases but still based on the same principles..

When in need of particular emotions for work for example is, tis best to focus on that best moment when your mind was most focused on the single purpose of reaching a mountain peak when climbing a mountain (example).. Not happiest moments cause instead will make you relax.. Though happy.. So depends on one's particular need. 

A more advance step from this is mixing or concocting feelings and emotions.. I'm not there yet but on the way there..

When accustomed in clearly identifying and with max familiarity.. One can also ask in Christian prayer for the proper best matching emotion for a particular need.. And amplify expand it further manually..

If base depression.. I think it's match will turn out to be happiness or happiest moments.. I found this funny cause it has element of relaxing or loosing control, sorta.. Which made it hard for me to maintain it cause it instead made me tend highly to forget.. Haha.. In the beginning.. Seems getting the hang of it after asking upstairs to give one but without making me too laid back and forget and instead stop what i was doing..

This idea of identifying and commanding feelings and emotions, I'm pretty sure doesn't guarantee a fully emotionally happy life but does guarantee the ability to break unchallenged sorta continual bad moods or mood swings.. Freeing one from sort of helpless situations.. Allowing one to be more able to go on in life with improved and healthier emotions..
