Emotions incite reactional “knee jerk” “non brain thought out” actions. The art of developing empathy simply does not depend upon feeling pity for someone or some thing. Men tend to stop maturing emotionally at about Age 16. Emotional retards till they get married and they encounter and live with a woman who bounces off the walls every time she experiences her bleeding period! And then come the ensuing children consequent to the marriage!
At that moment or thereabout enlightenment shines upon Mankind and they come to realize their disability of being an emotional retard. Only this revelation pushes a boy to grow into a Man. Meditation spins around the central axis of Chi directed through the exhale at some targeted audience; something like Yaacov sending a מלאך unto the Army lead by Esau; or HaShem sending Moshe as his מלאך sent unto Par’o and Egypt commanding that the Chosen Cohen People rejoice in their liberation from oppressive judicial corruption/slavery.
The inhaled breath during meditation focuses awareness of feeling through the 3rd eye. Indian meditation techniques refer to this 3rd eye awareness as “mindfulness”. Trauma at youth causes repression of emotions — removed from conscious contemplations. These subsumed emotions result in non-conscious reactionary behavior patterns. Something like a child witnessing or experiencing his father beating his mother or himself repeatedly. Later in life as an adult this same child tends to duplicate family violence which he\she experienced in his youth as a child.
Hence the central axis of 3rd eye meditation tends to strive during the interval wherein a person in-hales breath within their lungs, for that person to strive to uncover a repressed emotional trauma experienced during his youthful childhood life experiences with family members and friends. Contrast the exhale blowing of the Chi energy directed into a meridian point expressed, for example, through giving a Shiatsu Massage. A person breaths the Chi energy into the exact meridian point of a specific meridian line. Whereas the next exhaled breath might make the explosion of its Chi spirit energy directed as some opposing (think bi-polar battery) meridian point/line. Such a message aims to release emotional powers which amplify physical message manipulations of the muscles of the client message patient.
