It has been said "You are afraid to feel. Your feelings
are vast and all powerful, yet for many of you they are crosses
of shame. How ever it is through your feelings that you can
ascertain what you value " - Marciniak
We discern our world through our feelings. They
are an unsourced tool for discovering more about ourselves
and the world about us. Yet, as the quote so rightly says,
we are afraid, nay terrified, of feeling. We block our feelings
and hide from them,and as a result we overload our cellular
memory with our emotional
baggage.
Our bodies are perfect records, holding every
nuance of our lives .They hold all our memories of the things
we have done to others and how we felt about it at the time,
the judgements we have made since .Besides all this, there
is what others have done to us and our emotions surrounding
these things.We also hold shocking or traumatic memories from
our lives which can appear to come' out of the blue.' There
are no accidents or coincidences, the universe works and everything
is a part of the rich tapestry ,even though we may be unaware
cannot see it at the time.
To illustrate this, I recently had an opportunity
to clear a very painful memory from my birth canal. I have
shoulder pain and so I went to see my colleague who specialises
in "un-winding" the tissues. She found that the
primary site was not my shoulder, but my birth canal. As she
said the words , the memory of the birth of my eldest daughter
eighteen years ago surfaced, along with all of my feelings
about it at the time. As I began to cry, my colleague felt
a sudden 'whoosh' as the birth canal released the tension
and 'unwound', I was at that moment of release, able to feel
the feelings, acknowledge them and let them go. Just imagine,
for eighteen years this memory had been sitting in my tissues.
Emotional energy such as this can cause vibrational
damage to the cells and eventually pathology. One of the feelings
that came up for me, was shock As I am like a terrier when
I know I have something to clear, [ I ' worry 'at it until
I achieve my intention] I took some Bach' Star of Bethlehem'
flower essence which is for
shock held in the cellular memory.
Five days later at a Reiki Share, some more
shock came up for me. It was a fourteen year old memory this
time- my next door neighbour had hung herself and her husband
came around to ask us to see if she was dead. Two sets of
memories from fourteen and eighteen years ago, all filed away
and stored in my body as I had held onto them.
I am very self-aware, continually working on
myself and watching for signs, feeling the feelings as they
come up for me so that I can acknowledge them , embrace [accept]
them and then let them go. However, previous to becoming a
Reiki Master and taking part in P'taah workshops as well as
reading the P'taah books, I had never heard of any of these
concepts.
Fortunately, there are now many self help books
and people like myself who wish to teach and inform. As a
physiotherapist, I realise how many people come with pain
and that there is an emotional component to the problem.
When something or someone angers you ,or strong
feelings come in any situation, stop for a second and do the
following: Allow yourself to feel the feeling, acknowledge
[accept] it, then examine it asking yourself the question'
why, what is going on? Be honest with youself about this,
you will find the feelings will go ,then you will released
them before they settle again in your cellular memory. Like
as not, similar situations will repeat themselves for you
to examine them and feel the feelings and have the opportunity
to' clear' them .This will be no coincidence , the universe
is just working to help you. Why? So we can' feel the feelings',
learn by the experiences and, in turn , learn more about ourselves,
and discern the world about us. In this way, we will not store
the emotions as baggage in our cells.
