If you look at the hawkins scale of emotional frequency any vibration lower than Neutrality can become, or is our shadow self,if not processed properly upon exposure and becomes a trauma. We push that feeling away,we distract ourselves,we ruminate it over and over in our mind creating attachment. These emotions are courage,pride,anger, desire,fear, grief,apathy,guilt and shame ,lust. They are all helpful in navigating this 3D world we call earth. But that attachment remains until we neutralize it by feeling, observing,not reacting but accepting and seeing it for what it is. But these attachments get transferred lifetime over lifetime as we reincarnate. And all our caregivers as children unconsciously program us with their personal traumas and beliefs creating more attachments. When I had my spiritual awakening these attachments manifested in my reality for me to clear.It was challenge after challenge.I was being presented with everything I feared. Financial loss, family separation,Job instability being verbally attacked by love ones, things constantly breaking.And I could even see negative entities enter people around me,could see it in their eyes and behavior and the spirit crushing words. The feeling was that the God I had a relationship with had abandoned me. I was in constant fight or flight and now a victim and in constant fear. The only way out was to transfer my energy from fear to faith. From victim to empowered.And for me it started when I asked for help from God and surrendered to trying to fix my reality. With that I found a class that taught me how to understand what was going on. When a situation occurs that triggers us.A lesson to heal!! We instantly feel the energy in the body, for me it's my chest. We instantly have that time to give the situation a new meaning,and make it a advantage. If we don't the ego through the amygdala sets the attachment to the list of traumas we have stored. And then the mind chatter turns negative or low vibrational creating more of what we don't want.
