The Alba Emoting Vivencial method: what is it and what ideas is it based on?

A brief overview of what the Alba Emoting Vivencial method is and what it is used for.

Alba Emoting Vivencial (AEV) is a transformational method for the work, improvement and liberation of emotions..

It was created in the 1970s by the German psychophysiologist Susanna Bloch after extensive research to discover the patterns of pure basic emotions.

Characteristics of the Alba Emoting Vivencial method

According to Susana Bloch's point of view, human beings live in Mixed Emotions, or secondary emotions, such as the dominant ones.or secondary, as Antonio Damasio mastered them in "Descartes' Error". This means that we do not experience, for example, joy in a pure way, but it can go together with sadness (as when we cry with emotion).

If we stop for a moment and take a journey into our daily lives, we will realize that our emotional experience is full of grief, sadness, anger, fear, fright, anguish, sensuality and tenderness. emotional experience is full of sorrow, sadness, anger, fear, fright, anguish, sensuality and tenderness..... Each of these emotions are linked to others and, rarely do we experience them in a genuine way.

Therefore... What is Alba Emoting Vivencial? It is a method that has been scientifically validated after the discovery of the effector patterns of pure basic emotions in a large population..

The first contact began at the School of Medicine of the University of Chile and the project continued in the USA, France and Spain. The emotions studied were: joy, sadness, fear, anger, and love. After the course of the research, love was divided into two subjectively, physiologically and behaviorally distinguishable forms: eroticism (sexuality) and tenderness. (filial love, parental love, friendship and comradeship).

The division of love into two forms is postulated in the sense that the two emotions are necessary in relation to the survival of the species. If there were no Eroticism the species would become extinct and there would be no universal elements to recognize the desire of the other person. On the other hand, the emotion tenderness is vital for the protection and care for all human beings in the first years of life.

These six emotions gave way to the later development of the search for effector patterns.. After years of meticulous and systematic experiments, it was possible to certify this effector system for each emotion.

The basic emotions

When we enter into the pure basic emotion, we unblock the stuck material and a liberation takes place that is translated into a corporal sensation of well-being and calm.

According to Darwin in 1868 the basic emotions fulfill certain characteristics:

• They are universal and have universal facial expressions, recognizable by all individuals of the same species.
• They are biologically primitive in the sense that they are fundamental for the survival of the species.
• They are acultural, emotions are present in all cultures and in all races.
• They are of first order for the ontogenetic development of the species.

"A basic emotion implies a functional state, physical and mental, which is different and specific according to the emotion" (Bloch, 2003).

The functions of this method

Undoubtedly, basic emotion is a relational code of the human being that invites him to adapt to different circumstances without losing his essence. without losing its essence. This system permanently regulates the functioning of life in all its complex range of biodiversity.

On the other hand, science knows little about the physiological bases that are activated by emotional states. We know that the heart rate is altered, there is a galvanic response and Blood Pressure is also affected, although here there is still some way to go. But we do know after extensive experimentation that there are effective patterns for each emotion. there are effective patterns for each emotion and these are specific and unique for each of the emotions mentioned..

The development of the method is done through a specialist in the Alba Emoting Vivencial system and can be done in groups or individually.

The method is studied for the improvement of emotional blockages and all kinds of disorders.The method is designed for the management and self-knowledge of social and emotional skills, for the development of creativity and personal growth.
