Inner Detoxification

Inner Detoxification

The sweeping breath is kind of like an emotional detoxification.

Revisiting

Today I went back and revisited an old memory. Actually I could say it was a constellation of old memories connected or centered around a song. It would be closer to the truth to say these weren't memories per se but feelings. Bringing back the feelings was not entirely pleasant, although I sure liked to indulge in those feelings many many years ago.

Unhealthy

Now in my current self I can see how that indulging was unhealthy and negative. And it feels a bit sick. As I discussed in 'Shrink Your Problems: A Guide to Inner Peace', revisiting those memories can be similar to bringing back emotional baggage, which needs to be flushed out for inner peace to be achieved. This relates to the 3-step process outlined there. As I flush the memories out, I'm reminded that releasing emotional baggage can be a bit like detoxing from external substances. This relates to how I discuss 'Shrink Your Problems: A Guide to Inner Peace' where I outline a 3-step process to release internal problems and find inner peace. Of course this leaves the after feeling. After I'm done with the session, I feel a little bit sick.

Self Poisoning

Similar to an external detox, our emotional bodies can get 'intoxicated' with negative thoughts and emotions. This is something that I've written about before in 'Master Self-Discipline: The Art of Removing Inner Resistance', where the focus is on removing inner resistance. Well no, not full of them. The toxins have passed through your body one more time. This time the toxins instead of passing in they are passing out, but they still give that toxic feeling as they pass through. So being free of the toxins should feel great but just the flow of toxins have made you feel sick for a while.

Unpredictable

About 3-4 hours later I felt extremely strong, vigorous and balanced. I never know in advance, just which emotions I'm revisiting are going to produce this effect. And my power to refeell the emotions seems to vary from day to day, and week to week so that's another factor that I cannot predict.

Keep Going

In fact, by consistently practicing this inner detoxification process, you may find that you're making progress toward authentic living, which is what I explored further in 'Breaking Free from Self-Absorption: A Journey to Authentic Living'. I also keep getting sessions that are extremely effective even if they are not every session. I also find that the emotions that I refeel are connected to other emotions and I can connect to them or latch on to them and transfer my focus to those new memories. Then I can start working on them as well and they, in turn, light up other feelings.

Discovery

The whole process is one of discovery. But at the same time it's exhausting. Even though it releases memories and even though it releases energy later I feel exhausted at the end of a session per se.
