Funny enough, I am almost done writing a book on this very subject. I will give you guys a free cliff's notes version.
Negative emotions are catalysts for our spiritual development. Unexpressed / repressed emotions lead to energetic blockages (distortions) in the mind-body which leads ultimately to further mental/physical health catalysts. I call this the law of escalation. If we try to ignore our catalysts they will inevitably continue to build upon each other until the catalyst is sufficient enough to create understanding/change or death.
Negative emotions should be dissolved as soon as they are evoked to prevent further damage.
The best ways to dissolve negative emotions:
Effirmations: I coined this term in contrast to affirmations. Affirmations use the words "I AM" to positively reprogram the mind/body/spirit complex. Effirmations use the words "I FEEL" and are used to release negative energy in the mind/body/spirit complex. An effirmation is simply stating the feelings that you are experiencing at the time you are experiencing them, "I feel angry" "I feel sad". Repeat the effirmations over and over again until the emotions are released.
Mindfulness meditation: Focusing on the negative emotion and observing it equanimously. If you are not equanimous, ie you react, you escalate the negative emotion.
Journaling: Writing out the effirmations on paper.
Letter writing: Writing letters to the people or objects who have triggered negative emotions within you. Unedited and uncensored raw truth allows the emotions to transfer on paper. Writing is more effective than typing. These letters are best destroyed rather than sent. Then writing a response letter back to yourself from their perspective in the form of your ideal response. And a final connection letter expressing acceptance of the situation.
When the negative emotions are extinguished, it is a good idea to reprogram the mind/body with affirmations using the antidote you desire.
For example, if someone pisses me off I will write an angry letter and destroy it. Then I will effirm, "I feel angry, I feel angry, I feel angry..." until the emotion has dissolved. This may take minutes, or hours, depending on the severity of the catalyst. When I have reached a state of calm I will affirm "I am peaceful. I am tranquil. I am harmonious..." over and over and until I feel the shift within.
Hope this helps.
