I came across a post about this in a group I belong to on Facebook. It references Edgar Cayce, and I started to leave a response, but it became a download, so I brought it here instead of leaving a book for a comment.
In the trinity of me, myself, and I: I stay as highly connected to my soul as possible to avoid attaching emotion to anything, but being human can make it difficult.
I hear the following:
Being human is part of the experience, and experiencing the vast array of emotion that is possible goes along with that. I had asked about why it’s easy not to attach emotion or judgment to one person or event, but not so in others. I was shown an example of where an individual experienced substantial abuse as a child, but while angry and judgmental as a child, the child was understanding, forgiving, and loving as an adult towards this individual. I was told that as a child, in the moment and heat of the battles, emotions are easily experienced and attached. As the child and the child’s mind grows to evolve, at any age, understanding takes place, and with understanding comes the detachment of judgment and the emotional response. This allows for one to take a broader perspective of the experience from all sides of the coin, so to speak. In opening to that view, one may or may not experience the human emotion and thought process of all sides, but it is possible to release what the viewer had previously attached to the experience.
Looking at a situation of abuse, in any form, one can see how not only emotion but energy is funneled into the human body. This energy can be stored in any or all areas related to the experience of the abuse. Later in life, this can be felt as aches and pain. There are many ways to release those aches and pains, but understanding where they came from can move that releasing process faster and further along as a visual or auditory memory can be experienced when working with that area(s) of the body. Just as a channel can experience information as a download of all information at once, an individual can experience the same when doing this type of work.
Seeing that energy hitting the body and understanding how it landed in each spot can help a person identify how it arrived. Equally important to where one integrated the incoming energy into the body is how the individual braced for impact. Was it through posturing to protect oneself, bracing oneself, clenching fists, or tightening any area of the body? This can be experienced as a different type of pain but also needs to be released as it, too, was stored. When reaching a state where one can see and/or hear the experience/event, the understanding can flood in and allow the light bulb to illuminate, which is when ultimate understanding is achieved. At this point, one can simply say, “I don’t need to carry this any longer as it was from the past,” or choose to retain it.
Retaining is where the idea of letting go resides. It’s indicative of the struggle to let go of something one feels they need to keep for whatever reason. Putting down is as if to say, I have arrived. I put down my luggage as I understand this place. This is not something I choose to carry forward. When you arrive somewhere, do you continue to carry your luggage everywhere, or do you leave it where you checked in? When setting this down, one may not only experience a release of tension but also a release in the intensity of pain. This can happen all at once or over a period of time as this new information is integrated into the mind and body. One may also notice an equal response of releasing the energy stored from bracing for impact.
You may begin to notice behavior changes when reaching this state. You may no longer allow for what you used to accept, and in doing so, you no longer feel that you need to brace=protect oneself. Instead of building walls for protection and experiencing what may be seen as an onslaught of attacks throughout life, one begins to create boundaries. Walls are simply barriers seen to be broken down. People will throw themselves against walls to break through and break down another. When the boundaries are in place, they may attempt to test them, but will instinctually know and understand that breaking through boundaries can be next to impossible with someone who has begun to heal and is no longer triggered by the past and will no longer brace for impact.
Bracing is allowing it to hit.
Boundaries prevent the opportunity for impact, or at least deter the attempt. People will seek the easier routes by seeking others who’ve not created boundaries but wait for the attack and react with their walls and behaviors. (This is also where a person can regain their power and no longer choose to be a victim. I know the choice of the word ‘choose’ may trigger some, but that is for another time, another discussion/download.)
Water flows around boundaries to places that are open. Water can break down walls, depending upon the impact, but damage is experienced even if the wall didn’t crumble. We don’t have a choice in whether a wall remains. Even the strongest of walls crumble over time.
Boundaries remain unless you choose to remove them.
Imagine a soul within a boundary. Water can flow in all directions around it and not reach the soul inside of it. The soul that stands behind the wall? Someone is on the other side of that wall, spending energy to fight to hold it up, and there’s no guarantee it will withstand the flood. The soul behind that wall will feel that water.
Much love to all and seek understanding. There’s peace in understanding, and in that, is a release of pain and behaviors that continue to feed it and affect your life.
