Bats can hear shapes. Plants can eat light. Bees can dance maps.
Humans that have weak eye sight, weak hearing, weak everything, used to feel the messages in their bodies… but no any more.
Humans erroneously decided that their minds is king. And ever since then humans don’t listen to their bodies.
Here is an example:
In 1348 the Scots thought it would be a good idea to invade England because the English were weakened by the plague. They subsequently caught the plague themselves, went back to Scotland, and killed half their own population.
Their bodies told them to stay away, while their minds had a good idea… end of story.
The more you rely on your mind as an advisor, the less successful in life you’ll be.
For example: You may get rich, but will be alone, sick, and unfulfilled.
The body contains your guidance system, and gets through to you through feelings. For feelings to happen, the body needs to move, slightly, its position. It needs to be put out of balance in some specific way.
To the degree you learn the language of the body, to the degree you can live the good life, health, wealth, love and fulfillment.
One of the ways to learn what stuck ways you relate to the world is through the body… But if you don’t know the language, then you may notice the movement, but you don’t know what it means.
Bach Flowers
Interestingly the Bach flowers, I call them Bach energies can clue us in… At least they clue ME in.
I have a client whose three dominant Bach energies are: Agrimony, Impatiens, and Vine
Agrimony is the pretense flower. It pretends that you are happy. The body movement is: you pull in your neck, and slightly backwards, so the face slightly tilts upward. Dogs have it too… they do it to please their human.
Impatiens is forceful tiny pull in of the neck in a way that the shoulder and maybe even the upper arms don’t get blood, so they hurt. You also have suddenly dry mouth. and the head will move slightly forward.
Vine is where you are trying to force your worldview on reality: my way or the highway. Here, again, the neck moves, but this time it moves backwards, creating tension in the upper back and the shoulders. You’ll notice that the chest moves forward.
Another client’s main ‘flower’ is Gentian. Gentian is the quick resignation energy… quickly giving up. It’s when the neck and the head drops without bending into the body.
Gorse, another failure flower is when you give up for fear of failure. the whole unit of neck and head and shoulders move forward, as in a collapse, creating a kind of humpback appearance.
All 48 Bach energies have a characteristic bodily movement.
All 48 causes misery. Poverty. Ill health. A sense of futility and emptiness.
When you learn to notice it, you can cause a ‘state change’. State change is a main element of the NLP, neuro-linguistic programming.
…what is neuro-linguistic programming? It’s a behavioral method that uses the power of reframing to help people overcome their limiting beliefs. A Results Coach can help you get started with these techniques and create a breakthrough in your own life.
Your body is almost always in some out of balance state… always in some Bach energy state. And simply gently returning it to a balanced state can alter your behavior, your emotions, and your inner state… and what follows is your productivity, your friendliness, your mood, your results in life. Even your intelligence is not available in those out of balance states.
You can do this work reactively… just in time. When you notice you correct.
You can do this work proactively… start training yourself to not go into your most frequent out of balance states.
My dominant ‘flower’ used to be Gentian. I have trained myself to notice it, and correct it. With time and practice the energy loses its dominance. It doesn’t disappear, but it is now at 30% of its original strength… a net winning.
How do I know all this, you should be asking right now.
As an empath I can feel your emotions. But I can also feel your body. In MY body. My body moves into the out of balance position your body is in.
When I do the Starting Point Measurements, I start with calculating your soul correction, and then #8. your relationship to feedback and instruction
I look deep into your eyes (on your picture) and wait. It takes several seconds for me to completely merge my body with yours… that if I don’t know you. If I know you it takes less time. And then I feel your body and your attitude…
Your out of body in MY body creates the same emotion, the same feeling, as it creates in your body. The difference between you and me is this: I have trained myself to recognize movements since I was 16 years old and was part of a pantomime group. That gives me 59 years of experience you don’t yet have.
But however old you are, you can start training yourself to recognize one attitude and correct it.
If you are STUPID, you’ll try to do more than one… do not be stupid! Do one until it becomes instinctual.
For example if you are a liar you want to learn to recognize Vine and straighten out your neck.
Why is Vine the energy of lying? Because you use lying as a means to dominate.
Often you only notice that there was a sensation, pressure, pain, breathlessness, etc. AFTER you straighten up again.
That is when you learn… in the correction.
Ultimately it is not necessary to know exactly what the attitude was if you habituate yourself to straighten up as soon as you have ANY sensation. Really.
You’ll be surprised to notice that your mood changes with the state change. If it doesn’t… you are still not straightened up.
In the racket methodology we learned that one of the elements of the machine is to produce an attitude. There are 11
Wanting to…
look good
avoid looking bad
be right
make another wrong
win
avoid losing
justify
invalidate another
dominate
avoid domination
avoid responsibility
Each has a typical bodily movement… the wanting of something…
You can approach this body centered NLP technique to free yourself from the machine through noticing one of those forces.
No matter what path you choose, you’ll be happy you did. Because suddenly life is going to be easier, smoother. You’ll get more useful stuff done. You’ll have a brighter future, and you’ll feel it. Your relationships can change dramatically, even if the other is still stuck in a defensive or aggressive stance. You don’t have to mirror their stance, even though the pull is strong.
You can be balanced, calm, collected, intelligent, and suddenly astute, even if you’d never been so. The eye of the storm.
We’ll have a workshop
A workshop where I am going to experiment if I can make people assume the body position and feel what they feel in the body. It may be a complete flop… or it may be a success. I can’t tell. But either way, we’ll get in touch with the body and move the neck, the head and feel how it feels.
You can come, and learn to feel your small body movements.
Or you can get your Bach profile…
Or just learn to straighten yourself out when you feel anything.
Whatever you do, bringing self-awareness, body awareness to your life will make a huge difference.
