To be honest, I don't know what that "something else" might have been. I have made a sort of agreement with myself with regard to writing my blogs. I have agreed with myself that if I did not have a topic I really wanted to blog about at "blog time," I would sit in front of my computer and trust my Inner Wisdom and Universe to guide me. I place my fingers on my keyboard, close my eyes and say an affirmation which goes like this, "I choose to let the information flow easily to me that will allow me to share something from my heart that may inspire others." I tune into my breath, then wait for insight and inspiration. It's a fun little experiment. I like being able to look forward to discovering what the topic will be. It feels good to be able to trust and let go.
When I feel afraid that nothing will come, I do a little Emotional Freedom Techniques tapping to help me let go of my fear. I tap the side of my hand, the area with which I would give someone a karate chop with. This is called the karate chop spot. I tap it while I say the following three times, "Even though I'm afraid nothing will come, I deeply and completely love and accept myself." Then I tap the following meridian points firmly but gently, five times each, while repeating the phrase "I'm afraid nothing will come":
- the top of my head,
- the beginning of my eyebrows nearest my nose,
- the outside corners of my eyes,
- under my eyes on the bony edge of the eye socket
- under my nose above my lips,
- on my chin under my lower lip,
- on my chest, 3/4 of an inch below the two bumpy ends of my clavicles, below my throat,
- and on the sides of my rib cage about where my bra strap wraps around.
This helps me to relax and let go of my fear.
Today I am inspired to share the exercise I mentioned earlier which helps to unscramble scrambled energies. This exercise is helpful in those moments when you confuse left and right, or reverse numbers or letters, like I was doing. It can be helpful to you in moments when you feel overwhelmed and find yourself ready to explode, maybe for no apparent reason. If you find yourself reading the same sentence or paragraph over and over without comprehension, or if you are feeling "scatter-brained," this exercise can help you to feel calmer, clearer in thought and able to process new information better.
The exercise is called "The Wayne Cook Posture." It is an Eden Energy Medicine exercise. I am sharing a modified version which is easier and less conspicuous to use during a class or business meeting, than the unmodified version. The modified version goes like this:
From a seated or standing position, cross your ankles. Cross one arm over the other, bring your palms together and clasp your fingers closed, as in the picture to the left. Take five to ten deep breaths in this position. Breath in through your nose with your tongue pressed against the roof of your mouth, and breath out through your mouth.
Repeat this exercise switching the bottom ankle and arm to cross on top this time. An additional modification would be to bend your elbows to bring your clasped hands to rest on your chest while you do the breathing. Do more breaths in the "posture" if you feel there is more unscrambling needed.
A healthy body is a reflection of the healthy flows and patterns of its energies. When the energy flows or patterns of the body's energies are irregular, we can correct them to support the health of the body. Bio-energy health, the healthy state of the body's energies, is important to, and interrelated with the body's health. Bio-energy health is the focus of energy medicine. You can learn other Eden Energy Medicine exercises from Donna Eden's book, "Energy Medicine."
As I look over what I have just written, I feel this blog is complete. I had fun writing it. I hope you enjoyed reading it.
