| Stop now and check your feelings. What are you feeling? Where is this feeling in your body? Tune in to your body while feeling your feelings. Are these feelings primarily in your heart? Your head? Your solar plexus? Somewhere else? Check for tension in your body. Ask your body to reveal to you the feelings that are causing this tension.
Breathe deeply. Close your eyes. Flow with the feelings in your body temple. Flow with them. Positive or negative, flow with them with an attitude of all encompassing unconditional love, for these feelings are your creations. Love them with the love that a creator has for his or her creations. This love will make the positive feelings more beautiful, and will heal the negative ones. If the feelings are negative, empathize and flow with them just as you would flow with the feelings of a small upset child that you are holding and comforting. Feelings change only when they are felt. Allow your feelings to change. If you get stuck, if your feelings are damned up and you feel numbed out and cannot get them to flow, then start with whatever feeling state that you are in [such as the FEELING of being numbed out, stuck and blocked] and use eye movement in your meditation. Using eye movement, which is moving the eyes back and forth, left to right and back again over and over. This is exactly what your body does naturally when you dream each night. This eye-movement unblocks emotional energy and shifts it rhythmically back and forth between the two halves of the brain, and between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system, which correspond to the inner and outer worlds. If the feelings that then come up are frightening and uncomfortable, call on us to watch over you as you allow these frightening feelings to flow. At any time you can ask for healing to come from the heart of Divine Love. Usually,flowing with present time painful feelings reawakens an old painful memory of a traumatic time. Know that you are safe now. You are no longer the helpless infant or small child that you possibly were at the time the original trauma occurred. In the presence of the heavenly hosts, you can relive the memory from beginning to end, feeling through all the feelings that come up, and thereby change and heal these feelings. Remember that feelings change and heal through being felt through from beginning to end enough times to change all of the feelings. By going over the memory from beginning to end about five or six times, all of the memory can be accessed and all of the feelings associated with the old trauma can flow. As the memory is recalled and felt through, insights into previously unrealized underlying factors, double binds, and stresses in self and others concerned in the trauma bring new insights. This opens up compassion, understanding, and forgiveness and resolution for self and others. It always helps to call in the help of the heavenly hosts for all concerned at any time you are reliving the memory. Feel free to say anything to anyone in your memory, and listen for what they have to say. The same brainwave patterns are present in both emotional work and dreaming. Working with feelings is similar to having a dream, and it is wise and helpful to interact with the dream and the people in the dream for the purpose of healing. Remember that feelings change and heal by flowing in a safe and nondestructive way. They do not heal by being judged, bottled up, denied, or by-passed. Many people have a lifetime of trauma and pain that has been bottled up inside, and when a person is ready, these feelings gush out to be healed. Since the brain does not know the difference between emotional pain and physical pain, it secretes pain blocking chemicals for both. In this way, overwhelming emotional pain literally gets blocked from conscious awareness in day to day life. It takes some triggering event in present time that overwhelms the body’s defense to release forgotten feelings. These feelings rush up in response to the present time trigger. Instead of going into blame and victim consciousness, it is wise to work with the feelings themselves to heal them. They are keys to a previously forgotten traumatic memory, giving access to an earlier time and event. This is a golden opportunity to heal the wounded child hidden deep within. Once the released feelings are healed, the present time trigger will lose all of most of its upsetting power. The triggering event could be as simple as seeing a person wearing the same color clothes as that which was worn by a person who was part of an early trauma, or it could be a phrase, piece of music, a similar weather condition, interpersonal situation, a similar place, or combinations of all these. As the frightened, hopeless or angry inner child is embraced by the adult self and allowed to heal with empathy and love, brainwave patterns that are necessary to enlightenment are reclaimed. “Ye must be as little children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.�?/FONT> The next time you are overwhelmed with dispair, anger, betrayal, hopelessness or any other powerful negative feelings, think of this as the darkness before the dawn. In allowing these negative feelings to deeply flow in nondestructive ways with unconditional love, they will often take you back to an earlier emotional trauma. Unconscious negative feelings are still magnetic, they attract similar situations over and over again until they are finally allowed to come to the surface and out into the light of day. That is why taking painful feelings back to an original traumatic event works so much better than treating them in a present time situation. Going back to an original trauma heals the deepest cellular memories of these feelings and results in deep profound and permanent healing. |
