The last exercise I shared is a good one for daily practice. The one I will share now is good for anytime strong emotions arise. During Trying Times we are more likely to experience intense emotions, and those may feel overwhelming. If we are unable to successfully process those emotions in the moment they can get caught in our energetic structure, causing knots or adhesions. These adhesions can then inhibit the smooth flow of energy in our system, even triggering a type of possession by the emotion itself at a later time.
To keep our energy (emotions) healthy and free flowing, we need to experience its fullness without stifling and without being possessed by it [Note: If you have a trauma background, I recommend you seek therapy first! I’ve written about that here.]
Have you ever seen limestone? It’s a very porous substance and allows water to seep right through it. We have lots of this rock where I live and I think it’s great imagery for this practice.
Did you know your back is made of Limestone? I know, right?! How extraordinary! But it is! Strong yet permeable. And the good thing about Limestone Backs and Strong Energy (emotions) is that Limestone is the perfect material for allowing tumultuous current to flow easily through it! I’m serious! Try it!
Next time you experience (don’t dredge it up, it’s a bit different if you do that) a strong emotion (energy), whether in the Now or as a memory (as long as it bubbled up organically), allow that emotion to just be there in your chest. Don’t swipe left! or whatever you habitually do with strong energy. Just let it be there in your chest…and then remember your Limestone Back. Strong Energy flows like water. And strong torrents of water flow freely through Limestone. Let it flow, from your chest through your back and out…. rejoining the ocean of energy.
