Happiness Is No Charge

.... new realization today....
This is my podcast on Psychological Associations. are from associations in memory. I discuss how the technique can get at and even stop flashbacks.
Click bio for podcast page, see 28...

My 10 yr summary of my emotional research, teaches technique:
See Smashwords author and ebook page for "Target Your Emotions".... or other ebooks.

So my realization today was, as the subconscious is monitoring the environment, and something reminds it of a memory, then the environment is also an association, especially if it is a location.
A location by association may also remind the subC of a person, and their threats to a person... thus activating a flashback by association.
Thus, the environment can not only be a trigger, or reminder. but an association itself... the environment includes everything around a person in the experience. Location, people, objects... even their "inner environment"... "Inner reality" of Thoughts, emotions, attitudes, beliefs, etc....
The technique would then use this realization to discharge, desensitize, the environment around a person...(environment can mean many things here)... as an association, reminder or trigger, stopping a flashback.
"That is Environment Association Charge", is what I would then use with Step three of the technique, as a basic realization that can then be expanded on.
This means in our subC, the environment itself becomes emotionally charged... The technique then discharges it, and thus, it no longer has energy to power it; no more reaction... this is USUAL results with other realized associations.
This is potentially ubiquitous, as the environment and everything in it is associated with an original incident of any nature, traumatic or benign.
I hope this helps understand more about Associations and how to get at them.
We have an overall environment. Home, school, planet, Universe. Where everything happens.

Hooray!!!! My podcast on Associations is finally up!!!
My Podcast 28 is on Psychological Associations. Flashbacks are from associations in memory. I discuss how the technique can get at and even stop flashbacks.
Click on bio, then podcast link, then choose podcast 28...
For a book, click the Smashwords author and ebook page.... for Associations, I recommend, "Target Your Emotions". Another is "Regain Your Self" for Narcissistic Abuse.
Other books teach technique, but might not specifically mention or teach it for associations in particular.
Though associations certainly apply across the board.

I hope this helps understand more about the inner makeup of our subconscious mind.

... Going to do a podcast soon on "Associations"... in memory and the subconscious mind... so keep an eye out...

... I am finally feeling better.
My head infection is a bit better.
Hope you are all well.♥️😊🙏

.... Just had back Wisdom tooth pulled.
Hard job... But needed... Sigh....

... Loneliness has been a problem, and not just with the pandemic.
My new podcast is up and how the technique helps...
See my bio for link to my podcast page... It is podcast 27.
See my Smashwords author and ebook page for "Target: Depression"... For the technique discussed in the podcast.
I had episodes of loneliness after the deaths of my father and sister in 2016...the technique helped stop episodes and eventually they ceased...
I don't trigger into ongoing flashbacks and episodes, even with PTSD.
A loss of any relationship can bring on loneliness... Now it doesn't have to become a depression issue.

Check out the podcast and ebook.

... One aspect of OCD issues is a fixated, obsessive emotional state.
It was recently reported around 50,000 people took their own lives last year.

Anthony Bourdain had a fixation on guilt come back up as he obsessed on how he should have died when he was using he**in.
He talked about it with a friend.

With the emotional technique I discovered in 2009, I have been able to stop Suicidal emotions, thoughts and ideation. They loosen up, reduce, fade and stop.
Even with PTSD and other issues, the Discouragement, Despondency, Dispair, and "thoughts of death and dying"... Alleviated with nothing else done.
We target those emotions, the thoughts and ideation diminish and stop.

My podcast #11 is about emotions of su***de and how the technique stops suicidal emotions, thoughts and ideation.

The companion ebook teaches the technique:
https://books2read.com/b/4A77Ao

If you or someone you know is struggling with life and might be, or is, at risk... Get a technique that can be used right then and there as soon as the emotions or thoughts arise.
Obsessive, compulsive thoughts of "Death and Dying" are an emotional overlay, and can be an out and out hallucination, just as some of mine were.
Technique can free that up... Usually doesn't take long.

Got everything to gain... Suicidal emotions are a specific area of depression. Technique helps stop emotions in depression as well.
I have not had major depression and suicidality since late 2019...

... Got my OCD podcast up!!!!
As Instagram doesn't seem to like links in a post... Message me for links... Just ask for link to the OCD podcast.

I have had OCD issues with my PTSD. Maybe not the "must have" things in the exact order, but obsession can be anything, and compulsion is a signal from the sub/unconscious mind. A triggered "must".
Making them a Psychosomatic Phenomena.

My Owl Nebula....

... ...
The shot of M-27,"The Dumbbell Nebula" on the LEFT, is what I took several shots of. Note how dingy it looks.
We take the images, and make an AVI movie file of them.
We put avi file into Registax, a stacking program.
We make a good overall image by taking best bit of each photo...
We save that image.
We put into Photoshop, and we Auto Balance or Level the image.
The result is the brighter image on the right.
That was the basic process... There might be a few in-between smoothing processes of needed...

... Astronomy pic...

This is M-57, "The Ring Nebula".
Shot with My Deep Sky Imager II color camera, through my 10" Meade, LX-200 at the time.
All since sold.

... I mentioned once that I was into astrophotography, I found my images...

This is M-51...

... had some things pop up, been working technique on exhaustion, breakdowns, etc...

Technique very helpful.

I hope your week is going well....

... PTSD and sensitivity...
To show how sensitive a person can be with PTSD, plus a few other issues, let me tell you what happened.
I was going to plug in my USB wall charger into my inverter to charge my battery pack.
It slipped from my hand, and fell into a crack. My hand in s too big to get it, and objects slip off it to get it out... Frustration set in.
It got so bad, my tongue protruded. Started doing technique.
"This is Body Distress and Overload Charge", with the technique. It worked, tongue went back in, fairly quickly.
"That is Frustration Charge" with technique for the frustration.
And a few other realizations. Did technique for maybe 10-15 minutes, even while driving, cleared up.
However, I was still jumbled, had other stresses come up... So kept doing technique... This is processing emotions in real time, as they happen. This curtailed, the build up of more charge. Eventually, like now it is calm.
So, if interested in a technique that can take down stress and anxiety overloads and breakdowns in real time, see my bio and click my Smashwords author page link... And check out my ebooks on different conditions, including PTSD....

... Emotional Charge Definition...
American Psychological Association dictionary defines it as:
"strong emotion, such as anger, conceived as being bottled up under pressure and ready to explode. The concept also involves the idea that emotions are negatively or positively charged."
There is a physical basis as well for this concept. The Amygdala has a left and right side. The right side is said to be 100% Negativity charged... The left side... 50% Positive, 50% Negatively charged... That is electrically... Like electrically charged.
Also, when using what is called a Galvanic Skin Response Meter, this electrical charge can be detected... So the charge can be measured in the body's electric connections through the skin.
It was discovered to show emotional MOOD... Unhappy emotions, have more electrical resistance, thus "Charge".
Happy emotions show less resistance... Thus less to no "Charge"... Thus the name of my work and series... "Happiness Is No Charge".
My whole work is based on that one word.

Charge means the energy load on something. Emotion means, Energy in Motion. So Emotional Charge means, the energy load of this emotional energy on a person. It CAUSES... Emotions, and their effects.
The Emotional Charge Technique targets, reduces and discharges the negative emotions and much of their effects; I.E. a person feels better without negative emotions shooting through their body, brain and MIND.
"Charge" meant negative emotions when I was training.
So, may your day have NO CHARGE... No negativity.

Fireworks are going off... I have PTSD.
Used the technique I teach on it for a few days now, tonight I am barely noticing it...
We target the associations the fireworks are triggering. The reactions can reduce and even stop.
My Podcast 20 is about , I go though 29 symptoms and how the Emotional Charge Technique can get at them, reduce and stop many of them. Now you can get back some control, and yourself.

I find it works well.

... One of my notes in 2013...

Nov,22, 2013 Friday. 6:49am

Negative emotions are a BLOCKAGE!!!!

A build up of an electrical like resistance. Remove the negative emotion, remove the blockage, and resistance goes down, and the emotional energy flows better.

They measure electrical resistance with Skin Sensitivity devices...biofeedback and the like...is measuring the electrical resistance in the skin... (***1 see foot note)... and when a negative emotional charge is detected, there is more resistance. There is an electrical reaction in the body, indicating a state of mind, emotionally. (Inserted: this was discovered in 1888)...
The more Negative Emotional Charge, on an issue, the more resistance and blockage there is...when that is reduced or removed there is relief...and betterment. That is why I say the technique helps restore Happiness. We are not creating a new Pathway, we are discharging a negative pathway...with that blockage removed...Happiness returns. So, the mind is not fixated on that, and the brain is not fixated on that, by holding on to the negative charge.

So you are removing a blockage...

***1... Edited to remove an inaccuracy...

This is an overall concept in my emotional work. I took notes for realizations, observations and results.
My book "Target Your Emotions" is based on my 10 years of notes.

... rainy June day with thunderstorm...

... Obsession/Compulsion, Mania issues...

Many of these conditions in the anxiety range can become fixations, obsessions, and compulsions, and when chronic, become a disorder; Obsessive, Compulsive Disorder. In anxiety we get fixated in a loop of thinking, or behaviors. Due to the distress.
We don’t necessarily see that it is the emotion at a subconscious level keeping it in place. As with Lady Macbeth as an example, it was her guilt behind her obsessively washing her hands.
Ok, let say she gets the technique. She realizes she is doing this, and that it is a compulsion, and that it is her guilt over Duncan’s death causing this, (as in the play). She would do the technique on her Guilt Charge. She can do the technique on the mental action or state of “Compulsion/Compulsive Charge”, or “Fixation Charge”, “Obsession Charge”.
(I quote things that can be used with the technique)
“That is Guilt Fixation, Obsession, and Compulsion Charge” is what she might start doing. She may add other emotions if found. In a short or longer time, she should notice it loosen up, and overtime, it may even cease, her guilt would not trigger, and her compulsive hand washing would subside.
This could be applied to fears and any compulsive actions like, cowardice, or ignoring something. “That is Fixated, Obsessive, and Compulsive Fear and Cowardice Charge”, might be used.
Do you have a compulsive, fixated, obsessive worry? Does it cause you a certain behavior? Target the emotion, maybe the Mania of it… this is emotional charge based and driven, at least from my perspective.
Emotional Charge can create cycles, and habits. They continue by the momentum of the emotional energy. Drain off the energy, it can slowdown, even stop. It may take time.
If interested, checkout my ebook, "Target: Anxiety". See my bio, click the Smashwords link to my author and ebook page. Go down to book. Maybe get it if you think it can help.
Helps with many anxiety issues.

... Distress.... anxiousness, makes us fixate and obsess over our problems...

The technique can take down not only the distress and anxiousness, but the fixated obsession with them as well.
It comes from the distress and desperation to find a solution, thus the overthinking, Rumination, (dwelling on it) and Scenario Building... Trying to "figure it out"...

Many people put us into a state of distress ... SO WE WON'T FIGURE IT OUT!!!! They don't want us to figure it out.

Negative emotions and states, are a blockage. We run in circles. Stopping the emotions, we break that cycle, we calm down... And many times, the answer/solution appears... comes up to mind on its own with little to no effort.... As there is no blockage in the way.
Clear the negative emotions.... Clear the way....

If interested in the technique... I suggest my ebooks:
"Target: Anxiety"
"Target: Depression"
"Abuse"
And "Regain Your Self" for Narcissistic Abuse issues.
Or "Target: PTSD"

Check my bio, click my Smashwords link to go to my author and ebook page... Go down list, and click on a book to check it out.

This is a technique that can start helping.... Today!
I use it with all these issues.
