>>11392You can't master your emotions by pushing them deeper inside of you, as this causes imbalances in the first place and freezes energy in the astral body.
Emotional alchemy is done by knowing oneself to the fullest and releasing all past emotional blockages, effectively re-writing the brain to be not emotionally numb, but be in emotional equanimity (which means to stand back apart from things and watch them with a peace inside).
That being said, emotional equanimity puts one in a place to perpetuate whatever kind of emotion he likes, whether it be sad or angry, happy or love, very excited or very mild, etc.
Can you please actually do some practice of the work described and feel the emotions yourself before assuming that emotional alchemy is about "distancing" yourself?
You would have understood all of this if you would have committed to practicing emotional equilibrium rather than picking it apart and completely missing the point by not comparing it and thinking about how you could apply it to your daily life. You're really going to have to learn how to do that if you want to be using techniques that other people create, or even techniques that you create yourself.
Example: Doing energy work, notice a specific effect, assign a use for it during daily life through experience or pre-meditated use or whatever, it all depends on the circumstance.
It's about creating a peace within yourself and FEELING the emotions without BEING them.
