Expanded Consciousness

[Guest guest]

Hello to all,

I am a long time lurker, and seriously on a learning journey. Recently, I

have become aware of when my consciousness is in expansion mode (changing

old thought patterns) I am experiencing a corresponding physical expansion

which I have to admit actually is almost painful. Has anyone experienced

anything like this and if so, how did you cope with the corresponding

uncomfortable physicality? My heart has been in a vise for such a long

time that now that it is being allowed a chance to be free and I am

finding it

difficult to support myself in the midst of the physical (pressure)

hurting. Thanks.

Hello Kim:

 

I am very somatic in my emotional/spiritual experiences, as I believe many of us

are, but we don't make the connections as such. In retrospect, I can relate

changes to discomfort, disorder, accidents and illnesses that are understandable

to me now, but were mostly annoyances at the time.

 

Once, when I was having a lot of costochondritis (inflammation of the muscles

between the ribs) that tightened up my chest and caused me shortness of breath

and pain, the Universe sent me a new lover... and the effects of it were like a

medicine to my body. My heart opened up, my lungs expanded, my endorphins

kicked in and I even lost weight ;-)

 

So we can't always find a new lover when we are experiencing grief or deep

pain. But we can always remember love, and in renewing that body memory, enjoy

some of its effects again. If we could live in that beautiful state all the

time, I believe we wouldn't have to worry about getting sick at all <LOL>

 

I read a quote the other day you may find relevant; since I can't recall it

exactly I'll paraphrase it for you... basically the man said, that it is very

easy to introduce new thoughts and ideas into a system; the hard part is

releasing the old thoughts and patterns.

 

So maybe you can imagine you are having a mental " give away " and that for every

new gift, change or challenge you are given, your guides can take away the

stagnant energy of the old pattern and ease your transition.

 

Any other ideas?

Hello Kim

hmmmmm, know anything about the New Thought Movement? That tag line is

real familiar.

 

Several of my clients are likely going through similar stuff, and they are

improving with a combination of:

gentle Myofacial Release, (Jenings seminars),

Reiki, (I let the Energy do most of the work)

and Process Oriented Bodywork (see your neighbor / teacher Matthew

vanderGiessen)

 

I am a talkative sort of fellow, and have been developing my intuition. So

I ask my clients if they want to hear about interesting stuff that can pop

into my " imagination " , and give a variety of disclaimers. Working on

peoples' thoracic muscles tends to connect with their heart Chakras and

Solar Plexus Chakras and related issues, lots of emotional releases happen.

 

I encourage them to see professional psyc therapists too, preferably

someone using EFT and or BSFF etc. EMDR can also help, just seems so much

cruder.

 

" consciousness is in expansion mode " ? Sounds a little like a Kundalani

Awakenning too. Lots of good web sites out there to help you with that one.

 

What do you mean by Physical Expansion?
