THE MAIN MESSAGE I want you to take away from this chapter is not that we should never feel fear, anger, grief, stress, etc., but rather that we should try not to hold on to any particular emotion—be it positive or negative—for too long. Emotions should flow through the body like waves crashing on a beach—in and then out. We are all bound to feel sad, fearful, or angry at various points in our lives, and often these emotions are very appropriate given the situation. What Joe and the other survivors and healers I study tell me is that we shouldn’t bury these feelings inside, because doing so can have a negative impact on the physical body, especially the immune system.

Emotions are a fundamental aspect of our lives; they are an important part of what makes us human. The goal is not to force ourselves to feel 100 percent happy all the time, but rather to let all types of emotions—whether positive or negative—flow in, through, and out of us, so that nothing from the past is carried over into the present, and each moment can be an opportunity for a new emotional experience.
