Life is a Learning Journey
I believe this to be true. It teaches, shapes and toughens the soul. Many experiences that we have in life are therapeutic and healing. Most of the time we are unaware of just how much strength and stamina we gain emotionally from past hurts.
So why have therapy and healing? Self awareness is the gift we as human beings have. We are unique in that we have the ability to choose a given response and place meanings to events through guidance. Therefore being able to see a more positive view that releases the negative hold that old perceptions can have, allowing for a, “I get it” scenario to occur in a person awareness. This in turn releases one from the cognitive knot that is held in the mind. This leads to greater understanding and self awareness that allows us to evolve at a mature level of being.
Self expression is life itself and every human being does this through our homes, jobs, cars, cloths and the way we conduct ourselves to each other. It is compulsory to life as life is to it. Expression leads to connection which leads to extension of the self and a feeling of being in tune with the world and all other forms of expression. A sense of balance is felt. Without expression life is unable to be of creation.
Thoughts are energy and it is when thoughts, emotions and past hurts go unexpressed that they becomes a restriction to our lives and well being. This lack of positive emotional expression protrudes in our physicality. A person who laughs a lot, releasing tension constantly has a totally different relaxed expression to a person who does not.
We can store vast amounts of unexpressed thoughts and emotions due to past hurts and negative experiences in life. When suppressed they lead to discomfort and di-sease. Numbing distractions are often used to keep these feelings at bay. We may keep ourselves busy and become workaholics or trance out these feelings using the television. Lots of us become addicted to food like chocolate or cigarettes and alcohol .Many of us become addicted to being perfect or the worst at something. Some of us project our problems out onto others and worry about them rather than trying to deal with our own issues. We can misdirect or suppress great amounts of energy in order to avoid feeling our feelings. We believe we can get away with rejecting theses feelings but we can’t the price is great. We deny ourselves and life in doing so.

Each person has their own perception and map of the world, of reality. All reality is subjective, the map is not the territory. Everyone is on their own learning curve of life and each person is at a different place of awareness and sensitivity. We are all on our journey that is individual to our very own soul purpose. It is due to theses different levels of awareness that brings us to seek greater meaning and understanding of our thoughts, feelings and behaviors and that there is more to us. We are not our cars, homes, jobs, clothes and titles. We are greater than any material possession or any worldly status. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. As we move into a more open position with positive intention within ourselves, we can allow for the deeper aspect of our higher self that is of peace love and joy to be awakened. Within ourselves we have powerful resources to heal at the level of the mind, body and spirit.

Healing and therapy allows that path to unfold, awakening the journey of life.

 

A look at the holographic way of thinking

Holism is based on the idea that all that exists is interconnected and one thing has an effect on another. When Einstein discovered the theory of relativity he revealed that all life is at its core energy. This then gave rise to the understanding of energy being inter-related and connected.
Before this discovery the world was believed through Sir Isaac Newton to be constructed of building blocks, a mechanistic view which see’s the world as many parts so if we divide and separate these parts and study them then we will understand the nature of life. This is very linear which means that there is an approach to one point of view and looks towards content only as appose to context which would look to prevailing all inclusive conditions.
So to solve a problem from a mechanistic point of view would be to look toward the rational linear mind to understand how things work and find the cause of the problem. We then divide everything up into separate parts and study them.
We have spent a great deal of time rationally dividing things up into separate parts and studying those parts as if isolated. Research has proven that isolation is completely untrue. Experiments in physics and biology have shown that everything is connected. It is impossible to separate the experimenter from the experiment or the individual from the whole. In life we continually separate and divide ourselves and society into parts to be understood.

The mechanistic view then has us dividing our body and mind and looking to rational beliefs and ideas to solve our issues. To approach and fix any problem from it being outside of ourselves fails to accept the reality of life, being interconnected. As we place our issues in the hands of others we further fragment and compartmentalize ourselves masking our deeper internal issues.

This is very much our cultural conditioning and has worked to a degree yet does always look to and deal with symptoms which then deny the bigger picture as to what is really happening.

A mechanistic view creates statements like:

“Why can’t you stop driving me mad?”  Separating ourselves from the problem blaming another for feeling mad

“This is so stressful” How can we choose and do things differently which allows for stress and worry to lessen

“I have a headache” I need some aspirin , Separating thoughts feelings and emotions from one’s self which create a build up of stress and tension which leads to a headache. 

The separation is expressed by creating a fictional them or they. This then shifts the responsibility outside of ourselves and looks to another to solve the problem rather than having us do what we can to change the situation.
We are co-creators in whatever situation we find ourselves in.

We have so frequently separated our diseases from our bodies our thoughts from our feelings and our biography from our biology. This creates further fragmentation and we cease to be aware that we have the ability and creativity within us to take greater control of our health and maladies

The mechanistic model of thinking creates much limitation through compartmentalization and fragmentation.

This is a big concept. It challenges us in a fundamental way. To re-educate ourselves is not easy. With the idea that such concepts exsists lets new understandings take shape in our awareness.

We then have the opportunities for greatness. They happen every day, every minute. Do we learn a lesson, or do we blame the teacher? The teacher could be a flat tire, a broken agreement or spilt mik. Do we look into the mirror and change ourselves, or do we break it? Do we pursue our dream, or have all the reasonable reasons why not?

 

How trauma can be a block to conception

It is now understood that our mind is in every part of our body and that the brain is merely a receiver of the information held within and throughout the body. When we feel fear it is very often in our stomachs. Emotional pain of a relationship is carried in the heart area, emotional Issues relating to the self are carried in the abdomen and sexual organs. We carry thoughts in every part of us.
As we experience pain and upset we tend block the flow of those feelings this then becomes trapped within the body and suppressed by the unconscious, subconscious mind. There is then a block within the mind and body to further expression of our creativity and life.
These blocks can also come in the form of parental suggestion.
The mind of a child is very literal in the way in receives information and because the mind is not subjected to time, non-linear  an idea or belief imprinted at an early age can and does still have an effect on the adult reasoning part within us many years later. As it is suppressed in the unconscious it tends to express itself in idiosyncratic behavior or in blocking bodily functions.
The mind our awareness can be likened to a computer hard drive, thoughts and beliefs are merely the software that gets put onto the hard drive.

I had a client who came to see me with an unexplained pain in her upper lip which spread into her upper jaw. She had many x-rays and tests which revealed nothing. Using hypnotic regression we uncovered the idea she had taken on as a child which was that her father had told her that she should keep a tight lip about expressing feelings and emotions. As a child she didn’t question this and her mind took it on literally, it had slowly manifested into physical pain.
Every person is very individual as to how they get imprinted with past hurts and what one person takes on and a block is created another could let it go and no effect is created.

By dealing with what emerges from the mind by following thoughts and feelings in the unconscious we are able to allow for mind body communication to be revealed.
