The body and mind are not separate. What affects one affects the other.
I have started listening to an audio book by Gregg Braden and he says that when we heal our bodies, we heal the world. I know, it sounds like it’s a leap.
But think about the micro and macro and how they are inextricably linked. The butterfly effect. The hundredth monkey.
Gregg Braden goes on to say that our emotions affect the weather. I won’t get into the whole science of it here - it has been scientifically proven meauring the frequencies of electromagnetic fields.
Bringing it back to the body. Our bodies are affected by not just our thoughts, but also the thoughts of others.
Those thoughts are energy. That energy sometimes gets stuck in the body.
In order to release that stuck energy, we need to be present, mindful and breathe well.
When we get a massage, we need to become an active participant in our own healing. To be intentional; to be present.
The only way is through. Go into the pain with our breath, with our presence.
I had a client yesterday with alot of pain in his arm. He wimpered as I worked on him. I reminded him repeatedly to “breathe into the place where you feel pain.” Then he said, “I feel like I need to have my arm pulled, to pull out this pain.” His intuition told him what he needed. I supported him by stretching his arm in different ways. He said his arm felt good doing these stretches. After the session he called himself stupid for not knowing what to do, for abandoning his body. I said you are not stupid. We all get distracted or we feel afraid to go into the pain. Be present to the pain. Breathe well. Trust your body. Trust your intuition. There is a message. He left feeling more connected, energized and hopeful because he became present and listened to his body, higher intelligence/intuition. He tuned in to his body. He became present.
When we do this in small ways, we build resonance and begin to live in a new way. We brings this energy to our lives and to the world. It is in these micro acts of intention and presence that we change our world. Together. For the win.
I invite you to be a scientist in the laboratory of your own life, Breath well and bring presence into your body and mind and watch what changes.
Here is Gregg Braden’s book that is expanding my thinking and breathing hope into my life.
