Trusting the journey


Trusting the journey - just like that. 

Es gibt ein Punkt, im inneren eigenen Wachsen, da ist das Vertrauen in den Weg so tief verwurzelt, dass es ein vertrauensvolles Geschehenlassen wird. 
Was ich damit meine? 

Ich bin so mit meiner Tiefe verbunden, dass ich diesen Impulsen dann den Raum gebe, wenn sie kommen, ohne was davor zu pushen, erzwingen oder erschaffen zu wollen, dass noch nicht seine Zeit hat. 

Es ist ein intuitives, tiefes Spürenkönnen von Stimmigkeit und passendem Timing. 

Angstfrei, etwas zu verpassen oder zu verlieren. 

Diese reale Erfahrung ist neu, doch es war lange im intuitiv erahnenden Vorlauf. 

Ich kann nur in etwas hineinwachsen, wenn ich eine ungefähre Vorstellung dessen habe, ein Gefühl von etwas oder in meinem Fall intuitive innere Bilder. 

'To be embodied (as I will use the term in referring to our contemporary experience) means that we are guided by our instincts, while simultaneously having the opportunity to be self-aware of that guidance. This self-awareness requires us to recognize and track our sensations and feelings. We unveil our instincts as they live within us, rather than alienated from them or forcibly driven by them. (....)
"Embodiment" is a personal-evolutionary solution to the tryanny of the yapping "monkey mind". It is one that paradoxically allows instinct and reason to be held together, fused in joyful participation and flow. Embodiment is about gaining, through the vehicle of awareness, the capacity to feel the ambient physical sensations of unfettered energy and aliveness as they pulse through our bodies. It is here that mind and body, thought and feeling, psyche and spirit, are held together, welded in an undifferentiated unity of expierence. Through embodiment we gain a unique way to touch into our darkest primitive instincts and to experience them as they play into the daylight dance of consciousness; and in so doing to know ourselves as thought for the first time -in a way that imparts vitality, flow, color, hue and creativity to our lives. (.....)
We all had the expierence, at some point in our lives, of just "knowing something in our guts". Without making "logical" sense, and often to the contrary of "logic", we just "knew it was right". And when we did not follow this gut instinct, there were often harsh consequences. We label this kind of precognition as "intuition". I believe intuition emerges from the seamless joining of instinctual bodily reactions with thoughts, inner pictures and precpetions. How this holistic "thinking" works remains somewhat of a mystery (though spectulation abounds), as is evidenced by the writings of the homeopathic physician, Dr. Rajan Sankran: "Sensation is the connecting point between the mind and the body, the point at which physical and mental phenomena are spoken in the same language, where the boundaries between these two realms disappear and one can actually perceive what is true for the whole being." Such is the essence of deep intuition. Intuition is an example of bottom-up processing. (....) Bottom-up processing is more potent than top-down processing in altering our basic perceptions of the world. This potency derives fromt the fact that we are first and foremost motor creatures. Secondarily, we employ and engage our observing/perceiving/thinking minds. (....) Transformation occurs in the mutual relationship between top-down and bottom-up processing. As sentient beings, we own the latent capacity for a vital balance between instinct and reason. Form this confluence, aliveness, flow, connection and self-determination come to pass. ' (......) 
'In a lifetime of working with traumatized individuals, I have been struck by the intrinsic and wedded relationship between trauma and spirituality. From my earliest experiences with clients suffering from a daunting array of clipping symptoms, I have been privileged to witness profound and authentic transformations. (.....) In moving toward an understanding of this intrinsic relationship between trauma ("raw survival energy") and spirituality, I was excited to come across a formative article by Roland Fisher published in the prestigious journal Science. A surprising and unexpected tenet emerged: that spiritual experience is welded with our most primitive animal instincts. Roland Fischer's article, titled "A Cartography of the Ecstatic and Meditative States" described a schema for showing the association of various parasympathetic and sympathetic (autonomic-instinctual) activities with mystical and meditative experiences.'

 'Many of the profound changes in my life came from being open to change when the timing was right. I learned that we can' t predict what our paths will look like. But by flowing with it as it unfolds, we can be sure not to miss good things that appear that we might not have been able to imagine. '

' In our awakening journey we need to learn to discern between healing and re-living ourpain. Healing means there is an element of safety involved as without safety we cannot process and integrate. Re-living our wounds is defined by an absence of safety and leaves us feeling more confused and disrupted. '

' You know the work is payning off when you notice yourself feeling comfortable while exceeding the limits you used to put on yourself. '

' When someone makes you feel safe. Safe to express. Safe to feel. Safe to speak. Safe to think. Just safe. I love that. I love an emotionally validating human. I love an active listener. I love reciprocity. '

' When someone you love ( someone who loves you and cares for you back) gives you feedback about yourself, see if you can replace defensiveness with curiosity. When that person gives you feedback, it's meant to motivate expansion, it's bot to put you down activating a need to protect yourself by becoming defensive. '
