Summary
Emotional reactivity is about having a knee-jerk, habitual reaction to something in the present moment that reminds you (consciously or unconsciously) of something unpleasant you experienced in the past.
Reducing emotional reactivity is an important goal on the spiritual path, since being highly reactive can keep you stuck in repetitive and unhelpful loops of behavior, thought, action, and feeling.
Join me for a discussion of:
- what IS emotional reactivity, at its essential nature?
- the 3 levels of emotional reactivity (and which one gets triggered first)
- how emotional reactivity drains your energy and causes you to waste valuable time
- the difference between reacting and responding
- how to reduce your reactivity gradually and bring yourself back to the present moment (with real-time practices)

| 1:57.0 | to define it, we could say that emotional reactivity is a particular state of being, |
| 2:03.2 | or it's actually a chain reaction that gets triggered when we are in a particular state of being. |

| 2:20.6 | emotion, there's actually three levels, at least, of being, that get triggered and that fuel |
| 2:28.9 | this kind of reactivity. So there's the mental level of emotional reactivity, which actually often |
| 2:38.2 | happens first, and we'll talk about this in just a minute. Then there's the actual emotional level |
| 2:45.0 | of emotional reactivity. And then there's the physiological level, which includes all of the physical sensations, |
