Lessons our bodies are teaching us
Why
were we given bodies that break, or fail us? For that matter, why
were we given eyes that only fail us in old age? Why were we given
ears that grow weak, beauty of youth that fades?
- Our eyes are there to teach us to see each other so that when
we get older we will not need great eyesight to really see the
ones around us.
- Our ears are there to teach us to really listen to others.
- Our digestive system teaches us to take things in, keep the
useful excrete the unnecessary,
- Our breathing to constantly suck in the fullness of each moment
and that we can never hold the passing moments.
I often tell my clients that each of us has a date tattooed on
some hidden part of our bodies. This tattoo bears a date we will
never be able to see for ourselves but it is already written and
it is the return date upon which our bodies are due back at the
comic library.
Our bodies were not ever given to us, only loaned to us and written
in the use, understanding and rehabilitation of them are all the
lessons we need to learn in order to be happy and fulfilled in life
and beyond.
Learn the lessons of the body now; because the due date is ever
approaching. And remember, we were never given our bodies to keep
only to learn from them and to let go of them. The body always seeks
health, healing and balance, all we have to learn to do is get out
of the way and let our bodies teach us how to be healthy, healed
and balanced. Our bodies are the written record of our lives, if
you want to understand yourself better; all you need to do is find
someone who can read what is written there to you.
The Body
There is an old story about a man who gave his child a puzzle made
of a newspaper. The puzzle was of the Earth. In minutes, the child
put it together perfectly. Pleasantly surprised, the father asked
how he could do it so fast. The child responded that there was a
picture of a man on the other side of the paper, and when you put
the man together, the
world came together!
With Body / Mind Integration, the process of emotionally freeing
yourself of "old baggage" (stored emotion) begins. The
healing allows you to renew your contract with life, taking responsibility
for your actions. Most of us have had experiences in our lives that
have caused us pain or emotional trauma. Often that trauma still
lives in our bodies years and years after the events that caused
it.
Imagine getting really angry with your boss and really wanting
to hit him or her. Of course you didn't, but imagine all those neuro-impulses
that went to your arm and then were not released. They are probably
still living there in the muscles of your arm, unreleased because
you never allowed yourself t process the anger. What if the neuro-impulses
were terror tightening your chest and freezing your breath? OK,
that was 20 years ago, but are you still holding tension in you
diaphragm or your intercostals? These are the feelings and tensions
that can live in your muscles. Even though you may not realize it,
you probably have a difficult time accessing appropriate use of
that muscle, creating even more underlying tensions.
Integration
Once the blocks that keep your body from accessing certain emotionally
loaded muscles are removed, the muscles reconnect. Once emotions
that were locked up in the muscles are released, those muscles connect
the body parts together. Once the head, the heart, the pelvis and
the connection between you and your world is re-established, your
body and your life begin to explode in really good ways. Once your
mind stops telling your stomach that it needs to produce excess
weight to make you less vulnerable, your desires with respect to
food will shift permanently. Body / mind Integration is what you
get when your head, your heart and your sexuality are connected
to each other and to the Earth.
Transformation
Personality is, in many ways, simply a description of how a person
perceives, approaches and solves problems. These problem-solving
mechanisms began the moment you faced the problem of getting to
your feet as a child. You solved this problem by discovering and
recruiting the muscles of the body to solve this problem. Your body
created the recruitment patterns that it has today as a response
to how you saw yourself and your world as a child. If you were cautious
and methodical as a child, your body developed a cautious and methodical
approach to life. When your body rediscovers itself through the
Seitz method of BioTyping, your mind will begin to discover aspects
of your personality that will initiate profound change in every
area of your life.
