-- That's exactly it: you can't "figure out" how to release the pain.
I had a good councilor and this is the technique she used: 1. Intention is important! First intend to release the pain. 2. Relax and ground yourself into the earth, feels your connection to the earth. 3. Open your crown chakra (imagine you can 'look' up through the top of your head and 'see' a bright light coming into the top of your head (this is the energy of your soul). 4. Ask, or be open to your soul energy providing the healing, and also, ask for help from the Ascended Masters for healing. 5. Allow your awareness to be drawn to an area of your body, which feels some sensation, or discomfort, or tightness. 6. Just allow your awareness to be with the sensation in the body, without thinking about it, trying to analyze it, or anything mental. Continue to feel the soul energy coming in as if to shine a light on the sensation in the body. 7. Allow the impressions to come forth, pictures which might be experienced, but still don't try to figure it out, just let your awareness stay with the sensation, no matter how uncomfortable it feels. 8.Make the affirmation: "I am ready to release this pattern, which may have been necessary in the past, but which I have no need for now, and am ready to release this pain body". 9.Stay with the sensation in the body, until you feel a noticeable 'shift'. 10. If the pain is not completely released, you have started the process, which will continue, on a subconscious level, as long as the intention remains for its release. My counselor would sit with eyes closed during the session, and help focus on the area of concern, subtlety guiding the process, which intensifies the experience, but nonetheless, it is effective in and of itself. - In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "jim_flanegin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > wrote: > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Robert Gimbel" > > > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > --From my experience also: sometimes we like to hold onto > > > > > > our pain > > > > > > > > > > Or, we'd be happy to let it go if we could only > > > > > figure out *how*. > > > > > > > > In all seriousness, a great start would probably be > > > > to STOP TRYING TO FIGURE EVERYTHING OUT! > > > > > > > > The more you try to figure things out, the more you're > > > > locked into the intellect, the more you reinforce the > > > > self, and the more you reinforce the pain. > > > > > > And if you could tell when words are meant > > > literally and when they aren't, you'd be a > > > lot more likely once in a while to come up > > > with a helpful comment. > > > > > > When you "figure out" how to hit a line > > > drive, does it involve the intellect? > > > > Yes.
