Are You Aware?...Your Body Know
When it comes to awareness, many of us are walking heads. As I share what I mean by this you can check in to the truth of this for yourself.
You may be aware of emotions as you move about your environment and possibly even some thoughts as they arise. But likely, many of the thoughts and their corresponding emotions are drawn up as you react to the world surrounding you. What occurs is knee jerk behavior rather than authentic awareness of what's challenging you and intentional choice to see beyond it to expanding possibilities beyond the pain.
These unconscious reactions are neural patterns yet to arise in your conscious awareness. But while you haven't been paying attention, your body has been tracking it the whole time. And these physical and emotional guarding responses will pull you out of alignment and into eventual pain...every time.
I do believe there are many body oriented ways to help disrupt these dysfunctional patterns. And one of them I use in both the release and re-building process is called orienting. When we were subjected to potential dangers in nature, this was an innate tool we employed to know we were safe in our environment. It's so simple, yet can be productively used to cut through old patterns and help us adopt new ones. If you're curious about it and want to understand how I use it, please send me a message. I'm happy to share it's magic...
