Dealing effectively with emotions is the key to Emotional Wellness. And naming our emotions — what psychologists call labelling — is an important first step in dealing with them effectively. But many of us struggle to identify what exactly we are feeling, and often times the most obvious label isn’t actually the most accurate.
There are a variety of reasons why this is so difficult: We’ve been trained to believe that strong emotions should be suppressed. We have certain (sometimes unspoken) societal and organizational rules against expressing them. Or we’ve never learned a language to accurately describe our emotions.
WE BELIEVE that by knowing our emotions we can master them; we can effectively achieve emotional balance, and also use this energy to realize our true potential.
Sleepwell Foundation is creating awareness for Navras to make people know what all emotions we have, to understand them more clearly and build a road map to address emotional issues proactively.
AND MORE
Our Emotions are beautifully explained in our Vedas and Ancient Literature as 9 emotions or NavRasas
THESE 9 RASAS ARE ESSENCE OF OUR EMOTIONS
BALANCE OF 9 RASAS IN OUR EVERYDAY LIFE LEADS TO EMOTIONAL WELLNESS
Peace
This Rasa is reflected in deep calmness and relaxation. When we become still & quiet, we are so full that we are empty of everything else but peace. We can only find peace within. Peace enhances physical and emotional well-being
Laughter
When we laugh, it is easier to slip into a no-mind state, because the mind has been freed from its usual workload of thoughts. The science of laughter suggests that it has tremendous benefits for our health and well-being
Wonder
The curiosity, mystery and awe make us an explorer or adventurer. It seems like magic! Being fascinated is an important key to increase generosity and embrace our authentic self. We become emotionally well! It’s like magic!!
Courage
Veer Rasa asserts itself when we call upon the warrior that lives inside us. It is strong & vibrant. The warrior spirit enables us to get past even the most tragic and desperate events. Our mind becomes restful and we feel emotionally well
Peace
This Rasa is reflected in deep calmness and relaxation. When we become still & quiet, we are so full that we are empty of everything else but peace. We can only find peace within. Peace enhances physical and emotional well-being
Compassion
When we can experience another person’s sadness, we experience compassion. It is the bridge between us and others. When we express genuine concern for others’ well-being — our own emotional well-being is enhanced
Anger
When angry, we go into the fire. At such time, we should not take any action and let it move through us rather than it getting stuck. Anger can lead to positive change if we express it in a useful and constructive way
Horror
When we live our lives in fear, we shut down completely. We must overcome Bhaya with inner strength, love and truth. As humans, we seek emotional nourishment as much as food and water
Disgust
Self-pity, loathing, self-hatred. Only by cultivating loving-kindness, can we heal and control Vibhatsa. When we feel disgusted, we need to find the source of our discomfort. Only then, we'll get to know ourselves better and be able to manage our emotions well
