Hmmmm, good question Aster. We don't deal well (or at all?) with K in our
Western society. However, perhaps our inability to, refusal to, difficulty
with, (put your own set of words to this) ___________________ is more about
one of the lessons we as a society are being asked to learn, or perhaps we
collectively chose it as a lesson to learn .. so really our Western
society's difficulties in dealing well with K is both about us as a society
learning how to deal with it and we as individuals providing the experiences
from which we as a society can learn ... ...
I have found for myself that it has been helpful for me to identify parts of
myself that offer me certain kinds of resources and strengths that I can
draw upon to help me 'do what I have to do for the day', to schedule time
with myself self (sometimes only 5 minutes within each hour if I need to) to
work with my parts that are telling their stories, clearing their traumas,
inflicting their own traumas on others, etc., and ...
There's a basic technique I learned a number of years ago and that I have
expanded upon and that has evolved into my own way of living and being ...
it's quite funky (to many whom I share it with), works for me and has worked
for others also. I'd be happy to share more about it if people are
interested .. has a lot to do with identifying and working with our personal
archetypes.
I'm reading Caroline Myss' new book, Sacred Contracts, as well as listening
to the accompanying CD set. It's quite powerful though it does not talk
about K at all .. however, it offers a concept that opens up another layer
of possibility, awareness, framing, understanding of how our energies
express themselves, interact with one another within ourselves and with
others external to us. It also offers, at least for me, the opportunity of
looking at the adventure of my life from another the persepective though it
just so happens that Caroline's theory in Sacred Contracts mirrors many of
my own beliefs.
Anyhow, I need to get back to my self-imposed linear day of doing ... this
was my '5 minute' break to give one of my many non-linear parts a chance to
share what it was thinking ....... :)

Not an easy undertaking.
Mostly I just focus on diving deep into 'feeling' the critter that has
popped
to the surface for attention. Own ALL of it as MINE. ( the situation, the
feelings of being controlled by the circumstances or whatever)...then take
those feelings as the gifs that they are in some way even though I don't
understand them yet, go home and listen to music with headphones on /
meditation whatever, and allow the REAL feelings behind them to explode /
'blossom' (toungue in cheek)...
...simple eh!
( yes that was a Canadian slip of the tongue...and no,...I am not for
sale...due to those definite tendencies of...how was it put earlier on the
list....stubborn and opinionated....:0) ....yep! ) LOL
Just know that you are not alone in all this stuff ASter. Sometimes just
knowing that helps.
Love
Melanie
