ABSTRACT

Facial expression and body language are clues, but they are not surefire sources of accurate information. One may look perfectly calm even though they are hiding anger or love or any emotion. The fundamental practice is to nourish our mindfulness with conscious breathing, to keep it there, alive and strong. Although our mindfulness may not be very powerful in the beginning, if the people nourish it, it will become stronger. EQ starts with awareness and acceptance of emotion in ourselves and others. With growing skill, the peoples can de-escalate moments of emotional intensity, and begin to alter the cause of troubling intensity within us.
