Thank you Swamiji for these tools to manage our emotions.  I am reminded here that being aware will help me to choose the best responses in any given situation. This is key in any situation instead of giving in to the 'amygdala hijack'.

Thank you Swami ji for explaining the "Amygdela Hijack".

As Swamiji said we dont have to react from our lower nature, when emotions raise we shouldn’t react right away but we should watch it without participating in it ,this enables us to ride it by mindful techniques.

Thank You Swamiji for wonderfully detailing and explaining Shakshi Bhav which can help us to gein ckntrol over our thoughts and not pay attention to all the thoughts that the mind genrmerates in a day, 60,000 thoughts so pay attention only to the +

That's the power of thoughts for you. Beware of your thoughts. Think of positive thoughts. Because thoughts can fructify into reality

Thoughts generated by this subtle machine mind can be handled by putting some effort from our side. The moment we bring this knowledge that we are not the mind nor the emotions nor thoughts that it generate, will make it easy for us to dissociate ourselves from them and prevent from reacting involuntarily as dictated by our lower nature.

Better way to subdue  negative thoughts,  is to practice 'witness consciousness'. Situate in the soul consciousness and observe the situations and people around you, without reacting.

As Swamiji said our thoughts are important, because once we allow our thoughts to dominate the mind, it becomes our habit and becomes our action. we should remember that we are not the body, mind but we are soul.

We are not our thoughts. They do not get to be in control. Swamiji’s wonderful guidance can help us avoid these trappings.

What is the best way to control your emotions and avoid reacting to them?

Taking charge of our emotions is very critical to our progress in life, and the worst thing one could do is give vent to feelings and regret later. The first step to solving this problem is understanding the root cause and the science behind why people react to their emotions. Then one can easily control the mind and stay calm when emotions arise.
