Freedom

(I wrote this about a year ago and was enjoying reflecting on it and decided to share. Hope you enjoy!)

Recently I became conscious of one of my unconscious rituals that had been going on for several months. Upon waking in the morning, my first awareness was of pain. The next thought was of the cause of the pain and those involved. I would lie in bed, getting furious and by time those hurting feet hit the ground, I was in a quiet rage. Several weeks ago, with coffee in hand, enjoying the morning sunrise, with a bit of the rage still leaking out, I decided I wasn’t going to start my day that way anymore. This poem is what tumbled out in response to that decision.

FREEDOM

Let me out of this prison of self torture

Please stop me from spending all I have, on blaming you and others

Those piercing arrows of pain, I hold tightly

Keeping us both in this prison of torture

There’s not much difference between the jailor and the jailed

In this prison where I hold us both hostage

How can I forgive with this tortured body and mind left behind?

My angst pushes me to the abyss of forgiveness –Freedom

I deserve it

You though are another matter

But I can no longer hold you captive

If I do, there in bondage I remain too

“God help me!”

Casting the gates wide, with trepidation fleeing I release you,

so that I may at last know freedom

A few days after the decision and the poem, I became aware that I now rarely wake up with that pain and certainly not the rage. Very interesting.

OLD WOUNDS BURIED ALIVE NEVER DIE

What I see on my own path of healing and those who come to me for “energy healing” is that false beliefs about oneself and unresolved emotional traumas are the underlying cause of many of our diseases and unfortunate life patterns. Further, by resolving and/or correcting these issues the Son-Light of the Soul is no longer blocked and flows effortlessly through us. Hence the healings, which I consider true healings, are ones that occur on the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels.
EFT  (Emotional Freedom Technique) isn’t “the only way”, but it is “a way” that
is serving many people to live a life free from the emotional bondage of past events and false, self defeating beliefs, replacing them with acceptance and love. One needs only the courage to look within.

We can espouse a theory on healing all we want. To me, the proof is, does it work?  That’s what attracted me so whole heartedly to EFT. EFT is a gentle tapping procedure which clears the body’s energy meridians. It was originally designed by and for the psychotherapy profession to clear emotional disturbances. It soon became evident that profound physical healings were also taking place. 

EFT’s discovery statement is “The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.”  These disruptions can be caused by myriad experiences such as rape, abuse, traumas of all sorts: physical, emotional, mental. Something as seemingly small as being ridiculed in front of the class in grade school to war memories, can create energy disruptions which we carry with us and manifest in other areas of our life.

In Doctor George G. Ritchie’s book Ordered to Return, George quotes a Rhodes Scholar and Chairman of the Department of Pathology at the Medical College of Virginia “…you who would be doctors. Something happens to a human being from the time he is well until the time he becomes clinically sick which is not included in scientific medicine as we know it today. Human beings do not suddenly become sick. Did you ever stop to think the word disease comes from two words dis (without) and ease (bliss, well being, happiness)? Do not man’s thoughts and actions lead to disease?”

So our unfortunate life patterns and our physical symptoms seem to be neon signs, red flags, if you will,  pointing the way to our deepest healings. When this happens my favorite prayer is “Thank you for the blessings before me which I cannot see.” Indeed, being given a message of dis-ease and looking within we are given an opportunity.  

I plan on teaching EFT workshops this winter and spring. If you are interested in learning EFT for your personal use, as part of your healing service to others, or would like an appointment, please contact me.
