Here below you can see THE MAIN EMOTIONS of the  SDG Chart of Emotions.  LOVE is written for shorten the word AFFECTION. Please notice, that the opposite emotions can always be found on the other side of the central point.  When finding the words for the inner feelings they are possible to handle and they will have less effect in the daily life.

To go a little bit deeper - here comes a short summary of the basic emotions, you can find on the SDG*Chart of emotions.  By clicking the following red texts in this summary you can read more about these eight emotion scales in detail. The letter in parentheses indicates the direction of the scale (North, East, South, West):

UNSATISFACTORY RELATIONSHIP (W) consists of injustice, hatred and rage.

SATISFACTORY RELATIONSHIP (E) consists of openness, affection and connection.

ABSENCE OF SOMETHING GOOD (S) consists of desertion, sadness and irritation.

PRESENCE OF SOMETHING GOOD (N) consists of closeness, happiness and joy.

PURSUIT (N-W) consists of expectation, admiration and fanaticism

GIVING UP (S-E) consists of disappointment, disgust and exhaustion.

DOING WRONG  (S-W)consists of quilt, fear and horror.

DOING RIGHT (N-E) consists of responsibility, daring and energy.

It´s also useful to learn by heart the following counter emotions written in capital letters to get overview of this chart of emotion.

THREAT -  SAFETY

ENVY  -  SHAME

(When feeling envy man wants something desperately, but when somebody feels shame it is a situation when man is willing to get rid of something.)

ANXIETY  -   FREEDOM

AGONY – FULFILLMENT

Love does not exist on this more detailed Chart of Emotions, because I think love more as an commitment.  It is written in the Bible that “God is love” (1.John 4:8)  and  “Love never fails” (1. Cor. 13:8).  All the emotions instead are changeable – like clouds in the sky.

To get out more of this SDG Chart of Emotions it is most recommendable to fix the copy of it somewhere you can scan it daily with your eyes.   The explanation for the Chart of Emotions will give you further information, that helps you when diving in the ocean of emotions.

For example you can read about near emotions as follows :

“Each emotion is surrounded by near emotions in connection with it by two or three circles.”

To make this more realistic let´s take emotion “dependence” in the direction of half past three on the fifth circle from the hub.  Then you can find the following emotions surrounding dependence  on the chart :

Inferioriy, shame, need, affection, pleasure, connection, fascination and adaptability.

Most of these emotions are familiar to a person who is addicted.  When finding the words for the inner feelings they are possible to handle and they will have less effect in the daily life.  That is the main point of this SDG Chart of Emotions.

SDG stands for  "Soli Deo gloria" which means "Glory to God alone".

Here are some links related to the emotion scales called WRONG DOING  and RIGHT DOING.  I´m very pleased to find Dr. James Engel´s Chart on Mike Duran´s fascinating blog :

It lead me to the following website, where you can find more detailed information of the Engel´s Chart  :

There is quite a lot similarities with the Engel´s Chart and the diagonal of the Chart of Emotions going from south-west to north-east.

Emotions in the Bible? You can´t find word ”emotion ” in the Bible.  Neither you can´t find there any direct expressions of  “the Trinity”. Though the Bible is telling quite a lot about both of those items.  You can find more information about emotions in the Bible on the website :

Just now I´m reading through the Bible underlining every emotional expression.  You can´t believe how much the Bible tells about emotions.  Especially the Psalms are full of feelings and affections.  So if you want to have examples of very passionate emotional expression you ought to read the Psalms. Other Scriptures dealing with emotions can be read on the following web address :

Please notice that SDG*Chart of Emotions is Christ-centered although I think that the Bible is the most  reliable source in the case you´d like to learn to know your emotions.  Forgiving for Christ´s sake gives us peace in our hearts.  It makes our everyday emotional burdens lighter to carry.

After reading to following link you´ll find out, what kind of consequencies naming emotions may cause.

Here comes some other reasons why it would be reasonable to study the chart of emotions.

1) Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been found even more important factor to a succesful living than Intelligence Quotient (IQ).  Naming emotions  (or perceiving emotions and identifying them) is the basic element in EI. That´s why the Chart of Emotions has been created.
 
2)Human beings get lots of psychosomatic symptoms because of not live-through their emotions.  The aim of many therapies is to let them realize their emotions - to learn to name their emotions first.
 
3)Many people have huge difficulties to say more than "I feel bad" or "I feel great".
