“The WAY IN is the ONLY WAY OUT”
– Wu Hsin
This month July – 7 resonates strongly with the number of the year 2+0+2+3=7. The 7th body is the electromagnetic field, the aura.
Last month, we mentioned self-respect and discipline, connected to our capacity to say NO consciously! This month is about our capacity to say YES consciously!
The aura is how we filter reality and how we project ourselves into it. Our aura stores our undigested memories and the past karma that we cast in time and space. It is basically the stories we tell ourselves and others to justify whom we think we should be and how life is according to that.
Any past events from which we feel resentment, shame, guilt, regret, attachment, frustration, … any wounds, anything from the past we identified to (like success or failure), … create geometrical forms in our field that shape the circulation of our prana, shape our nervous system, and therefore condition our perception of reality and our projection into that reality. This is the foundation of our judgment, including our self-judgment.
All these stories are very connected to our relationship with our parents (or caretakers). When we felt pain of separation from our parents as a child, when our needs were not fulfilled, when we were treated badly, ignored, rejected, abandoned, … our growing nervous systems and brains could not digest this information.
Instead, we blocked the pain, saying NO to the experience, to life itself, because it was too much! We set up an unconscious strategy to fuse and to feel the connection again, ignoring this unbearable inner tension.
Today, all these NOs are our subconscious reactions, our judgments, our beliefs, us hurting ourselves and others by not listening to what is alive within us. Keeping these unconscious NOs is to stay faithful to our parents by remaining the young daughter or son and not becoming the adult. It is how we block change, that is constant, and freeze into a past of false safety.
We spend our vitality to avoid living in the moment, our minds are busy criticizing, comparing, and complaining. Our attention is outside of ourselves, convincing ourselves and others that we know better, that we are in control. Full of vanity, there is nobody home!
All these past NOs determine our life choices, and our YES are just a cover to leave these NOs untouched. Without listening to this multitude of small NOs, our YES are just there to validate our stories.
There is a way out, a solution, TO GO IN & TO LISTEN!
When for example, “I am not good enough” comes into my life, can I just breathe and move from the head to the body? Can I just sense where it is in my body and what is happening in terms of sensations (hot/cold, dense/light, contracted/expansive, …)? The story is rooted in our subconscious, in our physical bodies, and we must listen to the sensations related to the story. As an adult, we have the possibility to embrace those sensations and digest them through the Agni of our consciousness.
It might be uncomfortable, take time, be slow, seem boring, or upset you, … but it is the KEY to enter the realm of God ☺. Life is constantly pouring out blessings, but we block them by judging what is acceptable and what is not based on our past. Who we are is not conditioned by the circumstances or by what we sense. Sensing pain, for example, does not mean that we are unhappy, it means we are alive!
Let’s dive into ourselves without expectations and welcome that what is.
Let’s find the humility to listen.
Let’s drop the illusion of knowing, let’s embrace the trust, that we will know what is necessary when it is needed.
Let’s be content with whatever is and say YES unconditionally to the moment.
