Emotional fluidity is like the ability to feel emotions without resistance. Emotional rigidity would be the opposite - tensing, to try to suppress/avoid an emotion - but ironically you just feel that emotion in resisted form.
Many kids have high emotional fluidity. They feel their emotions without resistance and with within minutes they’ve circled back to home.
Joe: Emotional fluidity is the capacity to feel all of your emotions and to allow them to move through you without any resistance.
It is how well you can process, how quickly you can process, and how fully you can process your emotions and let them just flow through you.
you can learn that you can have your emotions without them controlling them, and then the fluidity is really important to allow them all to move through you. They don't control you. At the same time, you don't control them. The emotions are going to come, and you don't get to decide what they are. You don't get to decide it is irrational to have that emotion. Those are the emotions that are here, and then they are all going to move through me. That's what emotional fluidity is.

No it was through screaming into a camera with people watching haha they called it Anger Pop Ups. It was done in a particular way. I’ve never seen anything else like it. I think an entire org could be built around helping people move anger. The idea is to train your nervous system that anger doesn’t necessitate destruction
I like the idea behind crying without tears streaming. What is emotional fluidity mean? Does it mean high emotional state? (like anger)
Been following his podcast as well the past few months and really liked how you connected personally with his work - nice piece :)

Hey Chris I am also a fan of Joe's Teachings. Here you said Move your Anger for a month. May I know how to do it?
Is it through Emotional Inquiry?
