You will probably consider yourself an emotional person when, in fact, you are actually riding the emotions transmitted by others. You laugh their laughs and cry their tears. So what you must realize is that your emotions are triggered by the emotional impact of others. Your natural state, when alone, is to be cool, calm and collected.

What tends to happen when you step outside that personal space is that you get caught in other people’s emotional waves. This is a conditioning influence because your design isn’t made to cope with such intensity of feeling. People with this centre undefined have the greatest trouble in allowing themselves to feel emotions. If you’re not comfortable in your own skin at certain moments it messes with your nature, inducing confusion, temper or frustration. On the plus side, if you’re in the middle of a football stadium being swept away by an air of triumph, you’ll feel that glory and celebration. If you’re attending a religious ceremony, you’ll share the blessed uprising. But you are potentially subject to the emotions of those around you, whether healthy or toxic, so you must remain aware and watchful.

To transform this conditioning influence into impassive wisdom, learn to not react to emotions which are not part of you. Instead, reflect back your clear perception of what is going on, observed from the objective sidelines. Be a witness, not a player.

Put another way, if those with the defined centre are flailing in the sea of their emotions, you are someone on the shoreline, observing. This is where you have a choice: you can either dive in and magnify those emotions or stay out of the sea and reflect back to those people what is transpiring and how to be responsible about it.
