What are we Labeling?

May 3, 2009

Last night I was talking with a client with whom I am trading services. I told him I had an intense day and wasn’t thinking clearly. He suggested an activity to help release negative energy. It is interesting that when we think of intense, most of the time it automatically means negative to us. In my case yesterday, it didn’t mean that. I am dealing with many new things in my life. Although these are good, and exciting, they are still new to me, and it takes time to adjust and become comfortable with them.

In dealing with these new energy frequencies, I’m becoming more sensitive on many levels. Some of what I feel is different from what I have been used to experiencing, by only a small amount. Some times I mistake the feeling for something old and give it a label that is not accurate. This means it takes me longer to understand what is happening and adjust to it.

I have gradually learned to back off from my labeling of what I feel and simply let the energy move through me. This has helped me to identify when I am experiencing old familiar patterns, and when I am feeling a difference as I spend time in new unfamiliar energy frequencies.

Whether I am working to get comfortable with new experiences or releasing old patterns that now longer serve a purpose in my life, I have found it to be most helpful when I treat myself gently. Now I seldom have a voice inside that is telling me I should be doing such and such. Instead I look at my options in the moment and choose the one that feels the most supportive to me. Would you like to have my support as you work to do the same thing?

A look into Janet’s childhood

May 1, 2009

 

I grew up on a farm in central Washington from the time I was 3 to when I was 12 and my earliest memories are living there. My next older brother is almost 3 years older than I and my next younger one is almost 4 years younger. I played a lot by myself, and with those brothers. Because we lived out in the country, I saw my friends mostly at school and did not have them come to my house to play very much.

There were two houses on the property and I remember living in both of them. The one I remember first was one story and L shaped. There weren’t any trees close by, but I remember we planted a big branch (maybe 4 or 5 inches in diameter) off the weeping willow tree that grew near the other house.

There were mountains to the south called saddle mountains, and I remember spending hours out in the yard studying them through the binoculars, especially where the dip was that gave them their name. I would prop the binoculars on an old frame for a baby swing to keep them steady. I had heard stories from older brothers who had hiked up those mountains, but I had never been there. It was desert country, so they were mostly bare, with only a few patches of scrawny trees here and there.

We are more Connected than we realize

April 30, 2009

I often think about the fact I’m in the same situation as my clients. I need to do, again and again, what I talk to them about. I’m not above what I share with others! I’m in it. In life, like we all are. And when I say, This is how you do it. You need to…. it’s because that’s what I found worked for me, or what I am currently doing.

Many times it feels like I may be only one step ahead of the people I am helping. What I am advising someone to do today may be what I began doing last week or last month. Other times, answers flow through me in response to someone’s questions and later in the day, in the middle of my own issues, it dawns on me - I need to do exactly what I was telling my client to do!

We all have individual situations, yet we are all human, and in response to our situation, we are very connected in what we experience and feel. We all deal with the energy we label as embarrassment, or fear, anger, confusion. We have all been through feeling rejected and that parts of us are unacceptable. These feelings connect us and as we learn to sit with the feelings, we are able to sit with another person going through the same process.

Feeling through our Body

April 28, 2009

I have been reading and thinking about horizontal and vertical balance and how it applies in my life and the lives of my friends and clients. On a CD my sister gave me, there is a song saying we are all angels with only one wing and we need each other to fly. I thought about how this could be an image to look at horizontal and vertical balance. Angels and flying represent the vertical movement in our lives and the horizontal could be represented by our connection with our bodies and each other.

Without a horizontal base to work from, there is a limit to how far up we can reach. I have only recently begun to understand the importance of how this triangle works in our lives. For many years there has been a movement toward the “spiritual” and remembering our true “being”. Much of the information about this portrays the body and emotions as “in the way” of our ability to experience our true selves. Now I realize more about the importance of experiencing who we really are through our bodies and emotions. We don’t leave them behind to become more “spiritual”, we bring who we are into our bodies and fully feel our emotions.

 

Often, when I work with clients, they know the words of what needs to occur as well as I do, but they still struggle to apply what they know in their lives. This is true for me as well. What I find is that we throw around the words, without an understanding of what it means to live these things in a day to day, minute to minute way. What we are thinking and talking about is in our heads, not in our bodies yet, so we remain out of balance, and unable to make the changes in our lives that we want to.

Feelings contain information

April 19, 2009

Feelings contain information. In many respects feelings are condensed information. When this information is not worked with piece by piece, it stays held with the feelings and our bodies hold those feelings until we can receive the information.

If we don’t ever have anyone in our life who can help us to understand the information contained in our
feelings, eventually those stored feelings, which can also be called blocked energy, cause an accumulation of physical cells that aren’t able to function properly, and this becomes illness and disease.

Our culture tells us negative feelings are bad and positive feelings are good, without any understanding that all feelings contain information we need. What true healing means is collecting, understanding and bringing into the wholeness of our being, the information contained in all our feelings.

An example of how feelings contain information is when a child runs out in the street and the mother dashes out to grab the child. What information is contained in the mother’s fear?

Another example could be a child in the process of being potty trained and she pees her pants. She gets a spanking and scolding from mom. What feelings might be a part of this and what information is contained in those feelings?

Taking care of ourselves

April 11, 2009

Our culture supports doingness. It supports putting yourself last. It supports ignoring your own needs in order to meet the needs of others. Put another way, we are taught to meet our commitments and obligations, even if that means denying our own needs. 

I woke up with a head ache this morning. I lay in bed wondering what it might be about, or where it was coming from. Was I judging myself unkindly? Was I critical of myself for some choice or action? Was there something I was scared about? Was I out of balance from focusing too much on one area of my life and neglecting others?

How do we support each other in learning how to take better care of ourselves?

How many of us, if we wake up with a head ache in the morning, feel we have the option to take care of ourselves by looking into the cause and adjusting our life in some way to relieve the pain?

Determination

April 9, 2009

I had plans to visit my daughter Amaryllis and new granddaughter Vanessa, on Friday. I have a tendency to run a little late. For several recent visits, I had arrived at my daughter’s house with not as much time as I wanted to cuddle and admire Vanessa. Today I was determined to be on time, so I would have a full two hours and not feel so rushed in getting to my next commitment.

As usual, I was late. As I drove the 40 minutes to their house, I thought about my morning, and the choices I had made. I thought about my determination to be on time. Suddenly I realized where the problem came from. It was my determination! By being determined and bringing in “fight” energy, I was adding more “force” to the situation. That didn’t help me reach my goal of being on time. It actually helped me be late.

How might my morning have gone if I had taken a few moments first thing to review my planned activities and consciously add gentle intent that I work fast and efficiently and leave the house with plenty of time to enjoy my granddaughter? I have no doubt adding gentle intent and bringing more awareness into my tasks would have helped me get done on time.

Excerpt about distance healing from Mark Greenia

April 3, 2009

This is from “Living from the Heart: Exploring Subtle Energy in the New Millennium.” by Mark Greenia. You can find it at www.LivingFromTheHeart.com.

… Experiments in Quantum Physics have shown that certain particles can effect each other at great distances, with no apparent connection between them. Physical proximity is not required, since … energy … transcends space-time. One can also send positive energies into future space-time events or past space-time events, since the intent and the energies exist outside the human construct we call time.

A distance session works on three principles:

  1. The principle of interconnectedness. As energy beings, we co-exist with other energy beings in a vast interconnected web of energy. At the sub-atomic level, the tiny vibratory energy quanta that make up all matter and energy … respond to our intent, … to our focused intention. Our focused intention is a faculty that exists outside of space-time but can have effects in space-time.
  2. The second principle is  that of non-locality of events. This means that the energetic forces at work during a distance energy session can create effects at a remote location simultaneously with the intention at the source point. The energy does not have to “travel” a specific distance away. It is capable of bringing about a resonant effect instantaneously at the point of reception.
  3. The third principle is that of soul love. During a distance energy session, the practitioner connects at a soul level with the person receiving the treatment. This is a love connection at the heart level and at other levels. This is a beautiful and powerful connection that responds to the loving intent of the practitioner, regardless of the distance involved.

Preconceived Ideas

February 12, 2009

We have so many preconceived ideas of how things in our lives are suppose to look in order to be “right” that it is hard to see all the ways we are affected by this. I was very aware of the image my friend had in a recent conversation with her. I was dealing with a physical issue and since we are both Yuen Practitioners, we often work on each other. She said, “As practitioners, we don’t need to have stuff come up in our bodies.” 

I felt she was saying that I was somehow not as good as I could or should be if I was experiencing physical symptoms rather than clearing the problem on an energy level before it could manifest in physical form. I felt an immediate rejection of what she said.  

I am NOT less than because I experience health challenges on a physical level. In fact, if I don’t, how can I possibly understand what another person is dealing with? If I have found my way through health problems, I am far better equipped to help my clients find their way though their problems!

Learning about yourself

January 25, 2009

I’ve been listening to audio workshops by Patricia Sun. One of the things she says is that writing comes about when a person has something to say. That sounds so simple and so logical, yet who FEELS the meaning?

I’ve been told for months by those helping me with marketing that I need to write and I haven’t been able to make it happen. Now, suddenly, I feel like I have things to say and they are spilling out all over. Writing comes about when I have something to say.

Aza is having a hard time doing Yuen work with others right now. He is dealing with harsh criticism of himself. I’ve been there! I’ve done that! I know what it feels like! And through experience I have also found that it is the very things I feel so uncomfortable about and struggle with the most, that make my work with others valuable.

Because the reality is, I’m human and so are you, and we really aren’t that different. I may have had different experiences than you, but through those experiences, we have been dealing with the same emotions, the same struggle with the inauthenticity of the world we live in, the same challenges trying to live up to the unrealistic expectations that are laid on us when we are born into this culture.

I want to say to Aza, “what you are going through right now is the most valuable part of your ability to help others. I know it feels like hell and having it feel like hell is what each of us experience, in one way or another. Going through what is happening for you right now means you understand what it feels like for someone else, and when you can be there with them from your place of understanding, you can help them move though their pain.”
