Decompressing

I learned something new recently. I very wise soul who I met in Encinitas Ca told me a wonderful method to help me with stress. For many reasons, I must learn to live with a high level of stress, due to trauma in my early life.I am hardwired that way.  What he had me do was to sit with myself, and then to remote view or imagine what was in back of me in the room. I was told to look up in the right corner then the left  then to actually leave the room and go outside in my consciousness. I ended up going outside to the street then down the street to the major highway then down the coast past Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Camp Pendleton and then all the way to San Clemente. I imagined myself expanded so that my consciousness was not just trapped in my body but everywhere. The affect it had on me was one of decompressing. When we are trapped in our bodies, we feel imprisoned. This method helped me to see that my stress was really so small, that I was small when identified with my body.  Sometimes when we experience high levels of stress or fear we do want to leave our bodies, but we end up doing this by compressing inward. We disappear inside ourselves. This new way was freeing, and there was a lack of that disappearing type feeling replaced by calm and acceptance. I think this would be an invaluable tool to teach all people at a very young age. Our bodies do not have to be our prisons.

These are the things I pick up on the way through my life. Invaluable tools meant to use daily. And yet I forgot about this until today. Today I find almost unbearable. The weather is still in the 100's and my body and spirit are taxed.   I just did this exercise and I am again feeling somewhat calm and peaceful.

There are so many tools I have that I fail to use because I forgot I have them. Three weeks or so ago, I learned how to use acupressure to relieve the results of injury and trauma. Amazingly this happened soon after an accident I had where I was in the emergency room all afternoon. So the memory of the accident and the day at the hospital are hardly there, but of course my body will not let me forget. I still cannot let anyone touch where the injury was, without flinching. I then remembered how to clear my body memory of the trauma and the emotional release was proof that there is still alot of work to be done here. So there is always some wonderful synchronistic thing going on if we but tap into it. What  I have experienced that helps is to just be open to what information and people are available in your field of vison at the moment. Its that easy. Being out of your comfort zone helps to pick up new and interesting information. Remember the definition of insanity?  Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. 
My life is not comfortable.  But it is when I go out of my comfort zone, out on a limb and out of my box. Then it makes sense, its fun, its joyous and sometimes a bit crazy. And when I live like this, the synchronicity starts happening. And I feel alive and well, no matter where I am.
