How Rocks Are Made and Why It Matters


Listen Later

Sometimes we have these emotional rocks — literally, these are crystallized bits of ammonia, lactic acid, and other chemistry just sitting in our system. Leftovers from previous emotional soups run dry and not cleaned from the pot. 

Those "rocks" form because of the way your body instinctively responds at a molecular level to changes in your environment or situation. You might feel this as stress, ecstasy, anger, or even bliss, but what's really happening are that a bunch of neurons and cells are caught in a habitual chain reaction. And if not allowed flow through you and out, if resisted or suppressed in some way, those chain reactions persist.

That's the key. Resisting, interpreting, and giving meaning to all those reactions repeatedly trains your system to create it as a shortcut. 

Today, we get to explore a bit about breaking the rock cycle. Have a listen.

Highlights:

  • If you don’t clean out your body you just have a bunch of emotional soups that are left in there. (8:30)
  • Your body is basically a walking Petri dish because of all the little bacteria and things in it. (16:25)
  • There isn’t a root issue with you, there is just a state that your body is in and your brain's interpretation of that state. (17:30)
  • If your body doesn’t change its state, then it's feeding the brain the same information to build with. (18:35)
  • The rocks of your body form out of the soup of the emotions that are inside of the system. (21;40)
