如你所是的部落格

在身體層面處理情緒,對你的身體系統可能會是一種震撼,就好像有某些物質成分,你要去吸收它們,或讓它們存在於你體內,這會對你的身體的平衡造成不舒服或是混亂.

當身體在處理某種情緒,是同樣的道理.你的身體跟你的情緒本來是處在和諧狀態下,一旦這種和諧被打斷時,你身體的反應就跟有外來的東西在身體裡面是一樣的.

然而,很自然地,你的身體系統可以將陌生的,不愉快的,還有不舒服的感受自然地排除掉.當情緒進來時,你是可以這樣處理的.不過你通常會變得非常緊繃,去找尋前因後果,或藉著藥物或酒精去麻痺痛苦,而讓這自然的過程延誤了.

你此生是要去擁有許多體驗,有時這些體驗,感覺上好樣是對你和諧的中心元素造成打擾及侵犯.但是如果你可以從你身上緊繃的體驗中退回一點,從一個有趣的角度去觀照,你會真正的享受那種你認為是不愉快的體驗.

所以第一件事是要去了解的是你不是受到攻擊的,然後下一件事你要做的就是釋放緊張情緒,然後盡可能地放鬆自己,最後你就可以將任何體驗到的情緒,跟你身體的知覺合而為一,這不僅讓你覺得情緒是可以接受的而且還是很享受的事.當你到達這樣的地步,你就掌握到訣竅了.你們都是高手,所以這應該是小事一樁.

我們是創造者,我們是光明的持有者.

Processing Emotions Physically – The Founders

“Processing emotion through your physical body can be very much a shock to your system. There are physical substances that if you were to ingest them, or have them in your bodies, they would cause quite a bit of discomfort and wreak havoc on your body’s equilibrium.

The same is true when it comes to processing an emotion. You have a harmony within your emotional states, and when that harmony is disrupted, the response in your physical body is similar to when you have one of those foreign substances or objects in it.

And so, what happens quite naturally in the physical body is that your system naturally rids itself of that which feels foreign, unpleasant, and uncomfortable. When it comes to emotion, you can allow the same process to occur. But instead, what usually happens is that you delay the process by tensing up, by looking for a cause and a solution, or simply by attempting to numb the pain with drugs or alcohol.

You are here to have experiences, and sometimes those experiences feel very much like an intrusion or an invasion on your harmonious core essence. But if you are able to step back a bit from the intensity of the experience in your physical body and observe from a place of fascination, you can actually enjoy that which you have assumed is an inherently unenjoyable experience.

So the first thing to recognize is that you are not under attack. The next thing for you to do is release your tension and do your best to relax. And finally, if you can take on that perspective of the witness, or the observer, you can experience any emotion and any physical sensation in your body as one that is not only tolerable but actually enjoyable. When you reach that place, you have attained mastery. You are all masters, so this one should be a piece of cake.

We are The Founders. We are the keepers of the flame.”##
