Your mind. Your mind is a great storyteller; so in stead of letting it run the show by itself, put it to good use and let it tell you a story that will benefit you. That will take you where you want to go, feeling the way you want to feel.
the NOTE Nr. 02
Let your mind start the story so that you can let go of the feeling
When it comes to storytelling, your mind is quick to do re-plays of what just happened that you didn’t like the outcome of, a situation that happened years ago that you still keep repeating, or when you said or did something that was out of your comfort zone and, it often keeps it on repeat. In the background or loud and clear in your mind. Stop the repeating part, but keep the start of the story - and notice what you feel. As soon at you hit that sweet spot in the story; where you feel uncomfortable, or any sort of feelings in your body, shift your focus and recognise what you are feeling, and let the story drift away.
Ask yourself; `What is this feeling in my body?` Be curious, like you notice it for the first time and you have to explain it to someone who has never felt it before. What is this feeling. And celebrate it. Did you go out of your comfort-zone and now you feel embarrassed because of something you said or did? Feel into that feeling, and really celebrate it.
"Wow, what a feeling, is this how embarrassment feels like? My goodness, it´s so intense, I feel it in the shoulders, stomach.. wow." Feel into it like you never have felt it before. Laugh out loud even, and feel it.
You are not the feeling, remember that, you are observing it, giving it attention, hearing what it has to say with full compassion.
Breathe into the feeling in your body, the tension or contraction, the uncomfortable, and feel how it softens. Then view the feeling like a child and with full compassion and understanding, ask it why it feels angry, overwhelmed, sad, alone, anxious, frustrated, restless and so on. Do not jugde it, just see it for what it is; a feeling created from a situation, and all the feeling really wants is for you to feel it, see it, and acknowledge it.
You can even say out loud to yourself; "I feel embarrassed, I feel embarrassed, I feel embarrassed" over and over again as you feel it.
Feel the sensation of it for 90 seconds and feel it moving out through your body. That is all it takes for a feeling to leave your body and for you to have your body back to see all the beauty around you; 90 seconds of feeling the feeling.
If you feel the feeling for more than 90 seconds, you are still attached to the story and keep looping in it. Let it go. It will feel better after. Even that feeling; scared of letting go of the story, explore that and let it go as well.
Important note; do this lightly with a celebratory aproceh; if you have traumas or want the support in this, reach out to someone with experience or book a session with me to guide you through it.
I do my best in using this technique all day long with all that I feel. Try it yourself and feel how good it feels.
Indulge in your daydreaming of what you want to experience
Your mind is the best storyteller when it comes to imagining and visualising your future, with all that you want - use it to your advantage. Let it go wild, let it go bigger, outside your comfort zone - and enjoy it. Our dreams and desires are limited to our imagination and what we believe is possible, so let your mind explore the unknown.
When you visualise something you really like; stay there, enjoy it, embody the feeling of it and let your body get to know how good it feels like to have it, to be there, feel it, see it.
Your mind, and body, doesn’t know the difference between what it visualises and what is actually happening - it believes it is happening right now.
So the image in your mind of you on a sun-bed in Mykonos with a good book in you hand, the warm sun and perfect breeze on your skin, the sound of the ocean, the calm and relaxed feeling in your body, like time and space stands still.
Feel how good that feels. Now, if this is one of the things you want to experience and it´s on your “My most Beautiful life”-list visiualise it now and feel into it. If it's not; think of something that you really want to experience, enjoy the visualisation of it for a little while.
Then; notice in your body if there is any contradictions, stuck energy, emotions that comes up, any resistance or thoughts that comes to mind (like; ha, wouldn’t that be great..later when X...in my wildest dreams..that's too good to be true..).
View the feeling or though with curiosity, like we did with the feelings above - we want to meet this feeling / blocked energy / thought with full compassion and let it know that it’s perfectly fine for it to feel this way. Remember; you are not the feeling, you are observing it. Breathe into it, celebrate the fact that you feel it, and feel the sensation of it for 90 seconds. And let it go.
And then get back to your daydreaming or, your already beautiful life.
That’s how you go through life;
Having compassion for the emotions in your body, letting them go one by one, and at the same time visualising and making what you want to experience familiar.
Your subconscious mind, and your nervous system, does all that it can to protect you from what is unfamiliar and therefore “not safe". It steers you away from what is unfamiliar, towards what is familiar.
Example;
It is easy to go to the store and buy some delicious fresh, organic fruit, right?
Unless you at some level in your body and mind feel that you don’t deserve it, that it's a waist of money that could be spent on something better, or any other beliefs attached to the thought of "buying organic, more expensive, fresh fruit".
Otherwise it feels natural, good, easy and you do it without thinking much about it. Right? Because it’s familiar, it feels safe for your body and mind, and you like the taste of fresh fruit, so of course you buy it if you want it.
If you feel any sort of resistance in your body, you will walk past the fruit, your mind will convince you of why not to buy it, or you will feel something; annoyed, guilty.. Be curious about it, feel the feeling, celebrate that you are feeling it, acknowledge it and let it go.
You just manifested fresh fruit; you got the idea that you wanted it, you bought it with a smile of your face because it felt familiar to you, now you enjoy it and feel grateful for every bite you take.
That’s the art of manifesting.
Now test it out on anything that you want - Because; if you didn't have blocked or stuck emotions attached to what you want, you would have had it already.
