Patience and Discernment- BRINGING FLOW AND EXPANSION OF JOY IN LIFE!
Bringing the flow to life…
The need to rush and impatience is definitely a characteristic I recognise within myself, unsurprising it was how I was born, my Mum just about landing on the couch and me surfing my way out to be caught by the midwife, as the story is told!
This way of being is part of me and trying to dampen and squash it would be detrimental to my energy and soul as I have so much I wish to share and experience of this beautiful planet alongside the passion to change and transform this world to greater things from my own corner. Yet with the awareness and wisdom of how to harness and ground this mental energy, determination and passion, free from undue pressure on myself as I practice patience and discernment will become my greatest asset, power and strength.
I see my energy at times once I have something in my head, like the rapids, I have a destination, a purpose and I’m going to get there as quickly as I can! Picturing this in my mind, I see floods of water and energy often going in different directions crashing against obstacles, scattering my energy and attention and if overly powerful wearing down the river or streams banks and boundaries, causing damage, mud slides and falling back into itself, in a state of bewilderment and fatigue!
Interestingly as I write this, I notice that boundaries are another aspect of myself that I need and wish to strengthen and improve, as boundaries are imperative for our health mind and body. Healthy boundaries are there to control what we receive and what we release energetically, emotional and physically and are found in multiple layers in our bodies as gateways, starting from our chakras, our skin to the cellular walls.
Maybe this constant pressure I put upon myself to achieve to get things done, the impatience and frustration that builds like a dam of water retention within me pushing and weakening these boundaries energetically and on a cellular level, creating a negative stress that doesn’t actually allow my boundaries to work to their optimum, it’s a crowded energy of push and shove, nothing really materialising apart from frustration, heat and inflammation, inflammation being the root to all illness and disease!
This pressure affects the key balancing act of osmosis as each cell interacts, communicates and exchanges with one another providing nourishment and releasing toxins to be expelled, neurologically feeding back to the central nervous system via the Vagus nerve resonating this “stuck energy” more in the freeze/flight, a deep sub consciousness of anxiety.
This deep unbeknown to self, subconscious stress and anxiety seated in the neural limbic system creates a ripple effect transmitting this frequency to every cell in my body through the neuroendocrine system, my hormones. A collision of mind and body, forces of energy against oneself, creating dis-coherence.
These antagonist forces, formed through impatience as emotions are energy-in-motion, physically manifests as hormonal and metabolic imbalances as the body isn’t given the time to discern what is pure to be absorbed and what is impure to be released, the imperative function of the small intestine, an intrinsic boundary and gateway for our health.
As key nutrients are not absorbed and received by the body through the small intestine, functions of the methylation cycle is disrupted, resulting overtime as adrenal fatigue, hair loss and the inability to cope with stress and to adapt to situations, the feeling of overwhelm, yet not limited to these symptoms.
These symptoms heighten later in life definitely as a female, as oestrogen production transitions from the ovaries to the adrenal glands, which also produces the hormones cortisol which is our energy and androgens which relate to hair and the ability to adapt and grow. The body will cleverly restrict oestrogen production if cortisol stress levels are high, as combined they are growth hormones that can cause cancer, which is why females feel the dramatic slide of health and increase of various symptoms peri-menopause and menopause, however this is also a time of opportunity to
transform our lives for the better if honoured and understood.
Without the discernment of the small intestine being able to recognise what is pure/impure serving/un-serving on all levels physical, emotional and energetically, it creates a back pressure on all other organs, such as the liver, kidneys and bladder as they are part of the elimination and absorption processes.
The liver is our deep relationship to self and has the ability to renew itself over and over, however when restricted it becomes the seat of frustration and anger generating heat and irritation that inflames and overloads the gateway of our kidneys.
The liver presents imbalance in many ways such as an inability to think more open-mindedly, rigid in thoughts, patterns and routine, therefore creating conscious pattern breakers in your daily life will support your liver in improving its mobility and 500+ functions. Other symptoms are hot sweats, disturbed sleep, very odorous poo (the most favourite word in my house with two boys and a husband!), right sided musculoskeletal issues, eye sight, vertigo, haemorrhoids, cholesterol to name just a few.
The kidneys main function is to help maintain the composition, volume and pressure of the blood by removing and restoring water, managing the balance of electrolytes, trace salts and minerals to conduct electrical impulses in the body. Alongside the sacral chakra, the water element they are the filter of our emotions, with discernment they have the ability to recognize small details to accurately tell the difference between similar things and make intelligent judgements to either be reabsorbed if serves purpose or cleansed and released to the bladder to be excreted, the seabed of our emotions.
The kidneys and bladder are our energetic reserves, the will to survive, our courage and the ability to procreate, move and flow, our willpower trust and faith.
The bladder without mindfulness and self-awareness becomes a holding tank of the subconscious sludge of unprocessed and unreleased emotions. Often manifesting as bladder infections, the heat of being “pissed off”, irritation, impatience – the annoyance of feeling restricted. The bladder has the ability to expand and retract, released via a sphincter of conscious choice, weakness and incontinence is the combination of unresolved seated emotions, feeling unsupported and perceptions of choice, when we decide to go, our perception of control, how in control we feel and do we have a voice to express our choice, have we lost hope our willpower in some way?
The bladder is also a container for guilt and shame, the shaming of incontinence, the embarrassment, our relationship with the outside world, our fears of rejection and humiliation. Guilt and shame follows us through generations energetically and our own experiences, boundaries compromised by trauma and abuse both physically and emotionally, often internalising the perpetrators emotional state deep as our own. These deep leaden emotions imbed in our energetic being under the radar of our consciousness, they become hidden trauma that the body is unable to
discern and release until it surfaces to the conscious mind.
We also exchange our emotions through relationships and our sexual experiences, which equally imbed into our energetic, emotional and physical layers, being mindful of the energy behind these exchanges with ourselves and others is equally important to our expression of joy and health.
Moment of self-reflection
Through awareness and conscious choices how can I create a healthier mind and body, entwining more joy and lightness in my being, to create what I wish to see and be? How can I flow through life with more ease and grace, to have intentions and dreams, yet not believe or feel it has to happen now, that rapid response of action and expectation, to hold the grace of patience, enabling me to harness my drive and energy, to have clarity and focus of mind to navigate the brooks, streams and rivers with dedication and devotion, trusting that I shall return to source and the ocean of opportunities, expanded in experiences along the way.
Through this moment of self-reflection, listening and observing my body to what she is trying to tell me as she reflects my beliefs and patterns physically back to me, I begin to recognise my pattern of impatience, the source of childhood trauma and suppression, an inner force I created to break free, challenging my soul’s deepest aspect, freedom and find a direct line out from those restraints, which have continued and morphed into a perpetual motion of un-serving patterns, beliefs and triggered perceptions in adulthood, the deep subconscious fear of Am I Free, Am I Safe? It is now as tears roll with realisation and awareness that I truly know that “I Am free, I Am safe”, these patterns of survival no longer serve me joy, for I am a woman, no longer the fearful child in speaking up, I have my voice and I have free will always, I always have a choice!
I ground myself in stillness, the great action of non-action, I breathe, I set the intention to be of love, joy and peace and allow the universe, my mind, my body, my heart, my soul to reveal to me what I need to know, quietly in my stillness I listen, I observe myself, sending love to myself knowing that I am worthy of love, joy and peace, I then visualise how I wish to see and feel through my senses, embodying it as my truth ready to receive. Grounding is my key, reaffirming my centre and axis through Earth, stabilising my nervous system to rest in the parasympathetic, the autonomic system where healing takes place.
As I surrender and trust in all that is, the energy of the water sustained by the boundaries of the earth carries and supports me, from a rain drop of the sky to carving a pathway that dances and flows. I slow down resonating an inner peace, I start to enjoy the journey, the vista, the spectrum of beautiful colours that surrounds me, I see the intricate details of petals and leaves, I hear the buzzing of the bees the calling of the birds, I feel the reassuring warmth of the sun, and the tantalising breeze on my skin encouraging me to simply be, to rest, an inner smile of contentment, I smell and taste the nectar of life, I am in complete awe of the miracles that I am and in life itself, I hold a deep appreciation and gratitude of these miracles without the need to understand, I simple accept with grace.
Possibly my purpose is to simply enjoy this journey, choosing to be free of what no longer serves joy, to set the intention of what I wish to experience along the way, to be of love, joy and peace, sharing this abundance to all that I touch and influence, to seek with curiosity alternative pathways off the main stream of thought and beliefs, to create my own pathways and inspire others, to bring the energy of joy and air of my heart to carry and manifest my dreams and to know that miracles can happen because they do every day in life itself, in every one of us and all that is Earth, the Sun, the Moon, our Universe, that we are all a part of and is a part of us!
