The negative emotions create a negative field, which fills your blood with the chemicals of unrest and unhappiness. It is important to have a closer look at the nine rasas.
The eight major rasas have within them 49 sentiments or bhavas. Obviously, the positive emotions or states like love, humor, compassion, chivalry and wonder would put the mind in a happy and enthusiastic state of mind, which would nurture positive field.
