Some
people tend to think their way through each situation that shows up in
their life. Our capacity to think and reason is a great gift but if we
cling to it exclusively we limit ourselves from utilizing our full
capacity.
Our
physical bodies carry valuable information. If we start paying attention
to our body signals we can tell when we are tight and constrained and
when we are open and relaxed.
Our
Spirit carries valuable information. It can sense if another is open or
closed. If we connect intuitively with our Spirit we can access all
sorts of “big picture” awarenesses.
Our
emotional bodies carry valuable information. If we tune into our feeling
capacity we access information about ourselves as well as others. We can
often sense what is going on for others emotionally, picking up their
sadness, their joy, or their anger even if they are claiming otherwise
with their words.
To
deaden to our own emotions means we deaden to others as well. We are far
more capable of looking after ourselves if we include the use of our
emotional intelligence. For instance we may be able to sense fear in
someone, which gives us a chance to be prepared, in case they act out of
that fear in some inappropriate way.
In
the unfolding of our own process of awareness we can engage all four
elements of our being (emotional, mental, physical, and Spiritual),
giving us a more complete and balanced result.
For
example we might start by utilizing the mind and memory to describe a
situation we want to deal with. ‘I recall being beat up by the school
bully’. Then we can call in our intuitive guidance on how to address
the situation. ‘I feel called to ask for Spirit’s help in clearing
the adverse effects I have been carrying in regards to the incident’.
Then we can go to the body memory of the event. ‘My body is still
holding a protective posture that has not fully released since the
attack’. We can bring forward the emotions associated with the event.
‘I felt fear, anger, and sadness which can still get triggered in me
when situations arise that have similarities to the past event’. Once
we bring awareness to all these aspects of ourselves in relation to the
event and ask for a release of the historic holding patterns in our
minds, bodies, and emotions, a natural unwinding of the distortions can
take place, which allows us to come back into a more balanced place. We
are part of nature and typically when all distortions are removed nature
will naturally bring all into alignment.
