Emotional Spectrum

[AnthroHeart]

I have understood emotions to be either constricting or expansive, or along that spectrum.

Here is some emotions from most constricting to most expansive.

Maybe others can chime in. I realized this when having my schizo experiences.

My own lists things like despair as constricting and yearning, then longing, then wonder, then rapture as ever-more expansive.

Here is another one.

Yes, heavy emotions constrict the energy body. The flow of energy is baffled wherever the “negative” emotion is felt. For example, wanting to dominate mankind, the yellow ray would be constricted.

Feelings of love are expansive. The energy flows through us, it’s not being held onto as with the constricted emotions.

So your chart shows the various emotions associated with expansion and constriction. The root of the expansive and freeing emotions/feelings is love. And the root of the constricting emotions/feelings is fear.
