If you look around the world – no matter what the illness or condition you’re thinking of, you’ll find someone who’s experienced a miracle. What makes a miracle? And if you’re sick or injured, how do you get your version?
We talked yesterday about getting curious about what’s going on BEHIND symptoms. When we get curious about the RIGHTNESS of the way our body is trying to heal itself behind the WRONGNESS of the way we’re experiencing the symptoms, when we find that energy at the heart of what I call THE Paradox, then extraordinary stuff happens.
Either healing happens, we notice our guidance on how to support our healing, or we find peace of mind anyway.
Big words, so let’s check it out for ourselves. Here’s our wonderful little 30 second exercise around expanding our knowing of whatever’s going on in our bodies – which includes healing AND the ability to increase our vitality.
As before, read the following words slowly and thoughtfully.
Pay gentle attention to your OUTWARD breath for a few breaths.
That’s it… feel me smiling and notice your own smile is coming more naturally and easily with your breath. Reading sloooowwww…. and at the same time notice the way that the lower part of your ribs move on that outward breath – the way that the ribs just kind of squash the air from your lungs. And you’re not doing that on purpose, you’re just smiling a little bit and noticing for a breath…
… and another breath…
… and another breath…
Notice there’s a tiny pause starting to happen at the bottom of the outward breath. You’re not doing that on purpose, just notice the pause as it’s happening or not.
… still smiling a little for a breath…
… and another breath…
With our attention still gently on our outward breath, notice that beautiful place of awareness inside ourselves that we’re getting more familiar with – feeling that awareness inside us for a breath…
and another breath…
Still smiling a little, allow your attention to wander around your body. Are you CURIOUS to know if there’s a rightness behind the wrongness of any feelings or symptoms that you may be experiencing?
for another breath
and another
Are you CURIOUS to know if some of this feeling is about knowing or doing something for or about someone else?
Smiling a little and noticing what that curiosity feels like, for another breath – knowing that the curiosity itself is a key to the understanding flowing easily.
And another breath
and another.
Whether knowing flows now.
Or later, doesn’t matter.
Either the message of the feeling is tickling at your mind already, or we’ve set the knowing in motion. So we can get on with our day – the message, the understanding, the knowing will come when the time is perfect and the ease and the healing and the increase in vitality that will come with this knowing is perfect too.
Ahhhh and smiling for just another breath…
… and another breath…
… and another breath…
When you’ve finished, you could do a thoughtful and slow feeling stretch or walk in the changes slowly, feeling the flexion of your feet on the ground, feeling the BEingness of the earth under your feet, even if you’re on a floor. Noticing all the creaks and cracks of bones and joints sliding into a better place.
If you’re sick or injured you could do this exercise until you feel the relaxation from it. I’ve put a link here to the Quiet Mind that goes with my reiki healing grid and you could use that and the beautiful music of Deva Premal and Miten to expand this experience. Or if you’re struggling, bring your beautiful self into a Live Event and put your hand up.
