Phew... Hi Sean... You really sound like your in the middle of a tornado
at the moment. Well you know what they say about the calm after the
storm. Hope that will come to you soon.
It's very last now (for me) and I will try and respond as best as I can
...
Stick therapy hat on.... I would normally work to assess what the main
factors are that are creating this situation.
Some things can snarl you up and others can free you up. Where are you
placing your attention? Are you stuck with troublesome thoughts or do
you find comfort and enjoyment in aspects of your life.
Look at some of your main life areas:
Question that come to me are:
- How is you work (assuming you do work?). Are you thinking constantly
all day? Are you having breaks to give your mind time to rest throughout
the day?
- Are you socialising (both at work and with friends). Do you enjoy the
company of others?
- What grounding activities are you doing? (I.e. hard physical exercise
such as weight training, walks in nature, swimming in the sea, camping
for the weekend etc...)
- Is there love in your life? Do you have love towards yourself? What do
you have a passion for and are you pursuing that? Without love it's very
easy to get stuck in your head with lots of thoughts.... Love is
important for a happy mind.
You mentioned about where you put your attention - you could try this
when you go to bed. Put your attention behind your heart chakra - i.e.
from your back facing forward rather than at your front. Move up and
down a bit with your attention, but stay central (i.e. along your spine)
- there is spacial place where you can rest yourself and almost lose
yourself in a wonderful feeling of love. With practise you can expand
this across your whole body and into your mind. The mind can rest this
way.
This is based on the idea that energy flows where attention goes.
Being caught up and attached to our thoughts is very easy to do - are
world teaches us very much so that we should live in our heads. However
with practise it is possible to spend more time in other parts such as
the heart.
You are absolutely right about meditation when feeling very sad or
unhappy. This is commonly stressed in yoga. Talking of which the asanas
may be of benefit for calming down the mind somewhat as well as helping
with freeing up blockages of energy. It can leave you feeling quite
relaxed and free.
The control vs survival comments you make are interesting. The fact is
we are all controlling to a degree, unless we are free of ego. Everyone
has degrees of rightfulness when it comes to acting in a way that may
upset or harm others. It's a tricky one to gauge. My only suggestion is
to try and act as best as you can at the time. So that you don't have
anything to regret. Sure you might not always get it right but just be
happy anyway that you at least tried to do well. Hope that makes sense.
My experience is that there are always plenty of people who will take
advantage of me and being aware I tend to find myself more effected by
others energies. I am getting better at dealing with this and protecting
myself but I do know I'm better than I was. I'll share more things when
I finally get my website up. Keep an eye around here - I'm bound to
mention it once it's in place. I believe in protecting myself I am doing
far less harm than what the other might be trying to do to me on an
energetic level whether it be conscious or unconscious to them. I guess
at some level I am also creating this experience for me also but I
haven't sussed the cause on this one yet.
Okay, I wish you well in your journey. Please feel free to write if you
feel I can help further. I'd be interested to know what sort of clearing
work you have done in the past...
Best wishes,
Rich
