Emotion, Thought and Feeling

We choose the conditions of our lives through our feelings,

the invisible union of our thoughts and emotions.

As we imagine an outcome in our mind's eye

and become aware of the emotion

that is fueling our imagination,

our feeling is created.

Gregg Braden

THE ISAIAH EFFECT

In the morning, we may set an intention for the day.  At breakfast, we may remind our self once again of the intention.   As the day unfolds, however, our intention may be buried beneath responsibilities, distractions, and schedules. 

When we crawl into bed at the end of the day, we may remember our intention and wonder why it didn't become a reality.  By the next morning, we may have forgotten entirely about our intention, wish or desire.

To obtain a positive result, an intention must be held in our thoughts, feelings, and bodies.  There is clear distinction between emotion, thought and feeling even though they eventually merge together. 

"Emotion may be considered the source of power that drives us forward towards our goals in life," states Gregg Braden in his book THE ISAIAH EFFECT.  When our emotions are scattered, we need the presence of thought to give us direction.  The energy of emotion brings life to our thoughts.

So thought gives direction to our emotion.  By itself, thought can simply be an imaginative possibility.  When the energy of emotion is coupled with thought, our thought can creatively come alive.

Feeling is the union between between emotion and thought.  Gregg Braden suggests, "When we feel, we are experiencing the desire of our emotion merged with the imagination of our thoughts." So it is our feeling which creation responds.

So mentally setting an intention in the morning is simply not enough.  We must join emotion with thought and feel this deeply inside of our self.  Throughout the day, we must keep emotion and thought alive with our feelings in order for the creative result. 

Through this conscious process, we have a greater sense of our ability to bring things into our lives.  Utilizing affirmations throughout the day also increases the positive energy.  By experiencing this process of emotion, thought, and feeling, our sense of empowerment increases.
