There once was an ancient time when man had no need for speech as we know it. Communication and life was less complex. As we advanced as a race, so did our technology and our communications. We developed our own complex languages and eventually came into the digital age where we communicate by computers, cell phones, and all sorts of devices. We go to big universities and get doctorates in language itself, communication, and speaking itself is a requirement no matter what career path you choose.
Here’s proof that what you say matters. And this includes not just the things that you say out loud, or to others, but to the very thoughts you think.
I got together with a friend last night. The give and take of our conversation was hardly smooth. Her responses seemed to be rather prickly. I took note, attempting to stay focused on my ability to remain centered. My desire was to avoid escalating the situation by reacting to her reaction myself. In the background I wondered silently, “What am I doing that is prompting her reactivity?” This is so habitual for me to start by wondering what I’ve done to upset someone. This is tricky territory. One little revision to the question will be helpful.
As part of the Eden Energy Medicine practitioner’s training program we learned to test sensory type. Some of us have a single sensory type, while others have more than one. Ideally, we are able to combine the four sensory modalities: tonal (or auditory), visual, kinesthetic and digital, in roughly equal proportion. The identified sensory type refers to that sense that predominates if we are stressed. In a way, it could be said to be the one upon which we rely perhaps too heavily.
People often find themselves asking the question, “Why am I here?”, “What is my life’s purpose?”, “I know there is something greater I am meant to do, but what?”, “I’m just not happy with my life the way it is. Is there something more than this rat race life?”. There are many ways to answer this question and direct our lives to bring us to closer in alignment with our life path. Meditation, spirituality, encouragement and guidance from others who are living their own answer, are a few.
On a discussion list in which I participate a member wrote about a client who was having difficulty integrating her empathic sensitivity to the point of being reluctant to be with other people. This is a topic close to my heart as I shared this experience for many years. Investigating this phenomenon as it showed up in my life led me to write several books which may be a useful resource for others who are sensitive.
In mid-June, 2011, coinciding with date of the lunar eclipse, I leaned forward and felt my sacroileac joint complain loudly. Pain shot down from the middle of my right buttock through my ankle and toes. I find the human capacity to carry only a dim memory of prior pain remarkable. If not for that, few siblings would be born! Years ago, the result of being rear-ended in an auto accident. I was diagnosed with two “bulging” discs at L4-5 and L5-S1; Qigong and swimming have kept awareness of this old injury but a dim memory.
For awhile I taught a class combining qigong, energy medicine and t’ai chi between 11:30 AM and 1 PM. When the class was over I had plans for getting some work done. I like to write at a library. I think I borrow the brain waves of people working who are creating an intensely focused morphic field.
