Energy Therapy Mauitouch
If you believe that
change is possible, let the energy flow!
Often times our mind controls
our behaviors/feelings and the more we believe to be in
control of everything with our mind and will, the more we freeze and
limit our life energy system; the result is imbalance,
injuries, disease...
Here are a few very important
things to know:
GOOD TO KNOW:
-
Emotions/feelings: know that having emotions
is very good, feeling means that energy is flowing and
changing; just notice that you are feeling and welcome
emotions.
-
Mind: know that all feelings/emotions are
created by our mind (sometimes unconscious); important is
that thoughts can be changed, thus feelings/emotions will
change too!
-
Feeling "stuck"/numb": Not feeling, get
distracted from feeling or numb your emotions will create a
block/stagnation energetically and sometimes physically in
your body. Your mind’s reaction is to respond stronger (more
thoughts) until the feelings are acknowledged and emotions
can "ive" and flow again in the body.
-
Shallow breath and lack of exercise: exercise
can increase the breath and thus evoke emotions to come up
which is a good thing! Stuffing emotions down will create an
accumulation and density of energy that tries to ‘bind” with
material (for example food).
-
Hormones/ brain chemistry: sometimes brain
chemistry, especially for women during different phases of
menstrual cycle, can have an influence on how you perceive
things and deal with stuff.
-
Our Focus: What we focus on, determines how we
are feeling.
-
Loosing weight means loosing and gaining:
loosing some pounds means getting rid of old patterns and
habits and gain more self esteem.
-
Other things that affect: climate change,
weather, “outer” circumstances… basically everything that
you perceive through all senses (sight, hearing, smelling,
tasting etc) can create a link to past events in you life
and with complex mind/cell functioning affect your feelings
and emotions: sometimes you just don’t feel good and don’t
really know consciously why.
-
Different phases of life pulse: it is
completely “normal” that different phases (expansion,
contraction, and stasis) appear during different periods in
life and each moment. It is wonderful to feel “all good” but
in order to experience this, obstacles and learning aspects
where difficulties might be experienced are in the way. In
order words; there is no light without shadow. The question
is not how to ride the peak of the wave all the time, rather
how we can learn to relax into the motion with all phases.
-
Your choice: you have a choice every moment
and even though you might think, things just happen to you
(like an addiction), it is always a choice and creation that
you are responsible for. The biggest mistake often is that
only the “outcome” is seen and judged. For example you hate
the addiction and want to get rid of as soon as possible
while in the meanwhile the path to get there and all the
little steps that are required to take are ignored.
-
Each step: The conclusion is that each step
counts; not the goal where you will be but the path that you
are taking is the key to the goal. Every moment, every
choice that you make (“good” or “bad”) and become aware of
means living and keep the energy flow alive.
Remember: Life means walking the journey and not to be at
the arrival as soon as possible!
INSTANT ACTIONS, SUPPORT STEPS: Here are some
recommendations if you decide to challenge "old" patterns.
-
Start feeling "down": All you need to do is be
aware that you are feeling "low" at the moment and accept
that. There is no reason to fight is since it is inevitable,
the question now is only how you deal with it.
-
Acceptance: first and most important after
gain awareness how you are feeling, acceptance is the key.
Instead of judging or denying your feelings, have compassion
for yourself and accept the situation.
-
Allowance: after accepting the way you feel
and have compassion for yourself; knowing that there is
always a reason why you feel that way, allow yourself to
feel. If you are sad, angry, depressed etc. welcome all
those feelings and work with it. Allow yourself to cry, let
the anger come out with support of a therapist, sleep all
day or even eat a piece of chocolate. It is all your choice
that moment what you do. Most of all: do it with compassion,
consciousness and love.
- Conscious: It is the time now where you
brought your consciousness to the act and steps you have
decided to take. Whatever you are doing, do it with
consciousness.
-
Past events: Now you will see that all
circumstances in the present are triggered by our mind
through past events. What you have experienced in the past
highly affects your mind and sense of perception how you see
and deal with the present. You find out how you are in
transference (which means you see the present through the
veil of the past) and you have more compassion for yourself
which is totally different than feeling a victim or stay in
blame.
-
Your choice: Maybe you discover that there are
more than one voices telling you different things now; one
would say "you cannot change, it is impossible after having
this and this etc" or another would say " what helped me in
the past, will help me now, thus I need to do the same that
helped me in the past (for example binge eat)… just know you
have a choice to pick the voice you want to listen to and
pay attention. No matter what, at least allow the voice that
is saying "nothing can be changed" to allow the other voices
being heard as well.
-
Defense/resistance: You will find a place
where you go most likely into your defense. This means for
example if you feel "down" and someone would say "lets go
out for a walk" you would think that it the last thing you
would do. This is your defense. Where you feel the most
resistance, you will experience the start to change.
-
Step by step: Again, it is nothing impossible…
you don’t need to climb a mountain when you feel low but
maybe you can start by going for a short walk when you
noticed that you feel like locking yourself in and you have
tried and discovered that sleeping for days is an escape and
would not change much except that time passes and at some
point yes, you will feel better. The fact is that the
problem, the hurdles are not taken, they are just pushed out
of the way and they will come up again, each time in a
bigger pile.
-
Give credit to yourself: maybe you have chosen
slightly different than last time: Maybe you were in
depression for only 4 days instead of a whole week, maybe
you eat a lot but resisted that one package of cookies at
one point, maybe you were in contact with your friends even
though you did not feel like… most important: see yourself
now how you change, how each step you are taking and give
credit to yourself. This is empowering, take the support
offered (much easier and helpful) and at the same time you
are doing all the work and can be very proud!
-
Contact/support: The best thing is that
support is always offered. Here again, exactly in the moment
you feel "bad" the most resistance to overcome is to stay in
contact and reach out instead of waiting for someone or
something to change.
-
List: Create your own list what helps you the
most to make different choices. For example do you feel you
are not ready to get rid of your cravings and decide to
binge eat but maybe you become aware of those moments and
plan ahead with buying food that are bulky but not as rich
(water melon or fruits in general, vegetables etc.) So next
time you feel like "stuffing" choose different foods… you
might believe that without the sugar/salt/fat-rush of rich
food, you would not be satisfied… this is in your mind and
defense. Give it a try, start to believe different and again
be very proud of yourself that you made this first step,
choose differently. Maybe create a list where you put all
things down that you would do the least when you are not
feeling good. Those are all the key points where you can
start, taking little steps one at the time and mark it off
the list.
-
Take action: Change happens when you take
action. You will see that all effort out into avoiding
taking the hurdles are strenuous and self destructive. If
you passively wait for a "bad" moment to be over, you will
manage to feel better like this happened in the past, but
you will also discover that the same hurdle will keep coming
back like it did in the past…
SUMMARY:
Feelings are created by our mind conscious or not. What we
focus on determines on the way we are feeling. We can change
our focus and thoughts thus feelings can be changed.
Becoming Aware and accept with compassion and love is the
key to make a different choice. Taking one step at the time
is the path on the journey. Once you are on the way by making
conscious choices each moment, you will see that you always
have a choice. Making choices and be in charge of it, be
responsible for the consequences, will give you great power;
you will feel being in your power, have more self esteem and see
how life not just happens to you rather: you choose to
live.
