Energy centers "15.12"

[Stranger]

I see them as two parallel tracks which begin to eventually converge, one the work of removing ingrained distortions and the other the playing in the moment, registering each flake of catalyst at these deeper levels of being so that one can experience them deeply, and yet move along from one to the next without neurotic fixations.  (I'm sure there's a better way to phrase that!}  One can explain it in laborious, technical terms, but the experience is far more artistic than scientific. 

The two tracks intertwine: present-day situations trigger past catalyst. Any time we have a significant negative emotion, I can virtually guarantee a distorted part of ourselves from the past (i.e., unprocessed catalyst, a.k.a. a blockage) has been activated. "Activation" in this context means that there is now life-energy flowing through it, and in the same way that a bell makes a particular sound when it is struck, a blockage when activated by present-day catalyst produces its characteristic emotion.

Example: a history of social isolation/rejection in childhood producing hypersensitivity to, and fear of rejection in the present, even when the interaction is going well.

Many of our blockages/distorted parts originate in past lives. I've been working my way down my own spinal column, and just this morning, focusing on discomfort in my lower abdomen, I healed and released a female part whose husband used to beat her with belts, and a young man who died from a vicious beating. This tells me that "loving life" in the present, as has been suggested, is insufficient to achieve balance in the lower chakras. It's essential to heal the parts of ourselves who have been waiting to be healed, often for many lifetimes.

The healing process is very straightforward, but takes some focus. It's essential to realize that everything is made from conscious, aware energy, including our blockages. What feels like a blockage to you may be your psychologically injured inner child, or a past-life self, and they are as conscious and aware as you are - they just exist in a different space/time at the moment, but it is very incorrect and unhelpful to look at them as some mechanical blockages in your ductwork.

They are a part of your Self, a subpersonality. Get to know it. Just focus on the emotion or area of physical discomfort with love - thoroughly noticing and letting go of any negative emotion toward it. If you attempt to engage a part with any hostility, frustration, etc. it will retreat away from you. Keep in mind that it's a part of you that's hurt, in pain; it deserves and needs your love. You can't fight it - love is the only way forward.

Ask it who it is, to show itself to you. Ask it what's wrong. Send love its way. Invite it into your heart chakra, to drink in as much love as it needs. Stay with it in a loving, caring way - and it will heal, fully, often within minutes to a few hours.

These parts of ourselves we call "blockages" are like water, frozen into a distorted, painful shape. Compassionate love is like a heat source. Compassionate love is able to thaw them, and when this happens they automatically return to being a completely healthy part of the larger ocean that is the individual You.

This is true of all parts: the self-critical voice inside you; the scared parts, the aggressive parts, etc. - they are all Love at their core, waiting for you to let them return to their original healthy shape.
