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.

 YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE, WE OFFER THE SUPPORT! We are looking forward to getting in touch with you!!!
