The Dance of Regeneration: The Activity, Effect and Energy of Fear in Blocking and Slowing Healing

The Brilliance of Our Body/Mind - The Dance of Regeneration

Every emotion has a kinesthetic response. This response travels through the somatic system bringing with it a cascade of reactions & chemicals that effects every single cell.

When we have suffered a trauma through illness or accident and are trying to heal, our tendency is to try to return to what we were before the trauma, accident or illness. But we are not that person anymore. We change every day and now we have a new set of experiences being integrated on multiple levels; physically, mentally, emotionally, kinesthetically. Each time we try to go back to what we were, each time we feel the fear that we will never be what we were, we unintentionally slow the process as if we were walking backward. It is the processing and acknowledging of the grief and loss of what we had or were that promotes and supports the healing. The shift from fear to hope, or the choice to trust and explore what we are in the present moment of our healing porcess, actually calls forth and empowers our systems in ways we have not yet imagined. The body/mind is very busy adapting and regenerating. When we are focusing all our energy, our emotions, our thoughts and feelings on re-creating what we used to be before the trauma, injury or illness, confusion is created in a very brilliant system that is quite busy regenerating itself. What we were before, is part of our past history and  experience. It is no longer active except cellular and emotional memory. Each moment we are creating new memories in the system. If we are focused on what was and not what is and what is trying to be, we can easily miss all the healing that is happening. And even so, the body /mind is brilliantly healing in spite of us. Asking for what we were before or fearing we will not be what we were before actually creates dams or obstacles in the system. Fear creates contraction and contraction slows the flow of both the energy and the movement that is required for both tissue and consciousness to heal.
You are not only what you were before, you are something new, unique and incredible. Healing is celebration and gratitude, trust and respect for a system designed to regenerate and what can be a most brilliant partner in healing and creating the newly formed you to emerge.

 It is a new song, and a new dance and in some way a new instrument. Containing all your memories, all your experiences, the intricate map of consciousness that is you, is, moment by moment creating new uncharted territory to live in and explore.
While we may grieve and need to grieve the loss of what we were, the choice to welcome and explore our own natural and innate healing process is empowering, fulfilling process that makes what may seem impossible possible.

The Empath Series: Dancing with the Drama

"Dancing with the Drama"

  Empathic Dilemmas  & Options

http://www.katerosehealing.com/home.html

In my role as an Empathic Healer one question I am always asked by other empaths and highly sensitive people is, "Why do I get so drained around people?" 

Because we, as Empaths, feel so deeply it can be an automatic reflex to immediately enter someone else's drama and to experience their reality. We then become part of the drama itself and can be unaware that we are feeding it rather than offering healing to it. In my experience healing is all about balance. Something is out of balance and needs to find its path back to balance. Once in balance, everything that is needed for its healing can express itself and move towards fuller and more complete balance, equilibrium and health on multiple levels.

The drama has a lot of energy and action. It is full of emotion, strong feelings, attitudes, beliefs, actions and reactions. If you are feeling drained by too much drama, yours or someone else's, there are several elements to consider.

 Do we recognize drama or do we automatically assume it is the only reality? If one's habit is to dive right in, it might be important to decide how much you like it.

 Let's get real here. 
 One big question is, "Do I have an addiction to drama and am I using my empathy to feed it?"
It only depends on how real you want to be with yourself. What you are willing to let go of to heal and how far you wish to go in your own developmental process will allow you to discover the answers to these questions. And of course, what it is you wish to use your gift for.

Drama is very entertaining to be sure. 
So the first question is:

•  "Am I willing to explore my relationship with drama?"
•  The easiest way to begin the process is to simply look at your life.
•  How much drama is in it? 
• How much energy are you spending in the dramas? Yours and everyone else's? 
• What is your investment?

Objectively, another query to consider is: Has being in the drama ever healed the drama?

 
What if we pause for a moment and simply ask ourselves, what is the purpose of this rather strange and unwieldy gift I have of being able to feel everyone's feelings?
 Does it mean that I dive in and swim in the ocean of every person's reality? I can, to be sure. I have, to be sure! But it is so tiring and depleting and then there is the issue of the energetic attachments, which is another blog.

This gift has an infinite potential to uplift and heal. To be able to feel someone else so deeply but also to be able to maintain a separate existence, a separate level of being that allows one to say, "I see your drama and I hear your story and it is hard and painful. Come on up here and sit in this tree with me and let's look at it from a different perspective. As Empaths, we always have the choice to swim in a feeling, or to feel it, observe it and develop our skills to serve this person who needs healing or help in some way.

The easiest of course is to simply ask, what do you want, what do you need? As such a deeply feeling being, you can develop your gift to the degree that you can feel any feeling at will and you can both share and transmit and translate that feeling.

The drama then becomes very clear information, that shines a light on the path towards healing.

The Empath Series- Part 2: Creating Your Filter: A Simple Process

Creating Your Filter: A Simple Process

created by Kate Rose

Find a place where you can have quiet and silence for about 10 to 30 minutes.
Take a comfortable position sitting or laying down, be comfortable, chair, couch, floor and/ or  propped with pillows.

Step 1:

Imagine for a moment that your breath is coming from in front of your chest and directly into your heart. Remember this is only your imagination so there is no right or wrong way, whatever you feel and imagine is perfect for you. These are suggestions and offerings, not rules.

Breathe ten times, natural easy breaths, or until you notice that your attention is on your heart rather than in your head. It will bounce back and forth, but the pathway is now open and accessible.
 You may feel a sensation of some kind on your chest, or not, it doesn't matter.
 Once you have connected with your heart and created this pathway between your heart and mind you are ready to begin.

Step 2: Imagine that you have a large bubble, or energetic egg shape around you. Everyone's field is different  and utterly unique so you must look and feel closely to see what your "bubble" is made of. It may be round oval, square or angled. Whatever it is, it is distinctly yours.

Once you perceive it, imagine that it is at least big enough that you can spread your arms wide in all directions and not hit the sides. It can be as vast or as small as you please.

  Step 3: Notice what it is made of.  

Does it feel strong or weak ? Inflated or deflated?
Comfortable or uncomfortable? If it is deflated, inflate it. Remember this is your imagination. If your logical left brain starts to make noise about how stupid and impossible this is, just remind it that you are simply using your imagination and it will immediately quiet down, as it does not believe in Imagination and will not feel required to save you.( A life-changing discovery and great secret, that is now not a secret.*)

Step 4: Most often, it is slightly deflated, feels porous, weak, flimsy. (The first time I did this, mine looked like swiss cheese, full of holes.)  With your powerful and infinite imagination, inflate it. Once it is fully inflated, notice again what it is made of. It is thin or thick? Does it feel strong or weak? If it feels at all weak or if you desire it to feel stronger, simply make it that way. If you see a color use it or change it. It is all your preference and your creation.

Step 5: Once you have the sense of it being strong and fully inflated look around and notice if you feel or see any holes, or open windows or open doors or cracks or unzipped zippers.( Be sure to check your back. These are usually behind you.) Check all directions. If you have a sense that there are holes of any kind, close all of them.

I simply say to myself close, close, close, close, close, again and again until they all feel closed. Feel free to create your own process or closing holes, and everything else for that matter. This process does require that you trust yourself even if it feels silly or if you do not feel sure. When everything is closed pause and feel the difference. This is a most important moment. You WILL feel a difference and the next time you do it you will know what to look for. Your energy will change, you will feel a sense of relief, you won't feel as tired or depleted.

Step 6: Look around your now intact energetic space and notice if "anyone" is in there with you. This is your space, private and sacred  If anyone or anything is in there with you send them out, invite them to leave, have them escorted, blow them out of a cannon or whatever method feels good to you.

I say, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear until it feels completely clear to me. It is kind of like washing a window and you keep on cleaning it until there are NO streaks left.

This will not hurt anyone nor with it disconnect you from those you love. It is simply a clearing and a fortification of boundaries that will support you to be in yourself in a powerful way and to clearly recognize what is yours and what is not.

 I was very concerned that strengthening my boundaries would cut me off from my feelings and weaken my empathic perceptions. However, the opposite is true. Everything is stronger, more precise, more clearly defined and much less painful.Who knew?

Look around again and just feel the space. If you have a sense there is something hanging around, trust that you perceive correctly and simply command it to go. Continue this process until you feel your space is empty and clear. Just as when you come home, go to your own room or run a bath and get in and you feel,  "ahhhh, it is just me"... it feels great. Relief times 100!

Step 8: You then want to fill this bubble or field with a vibrant, vital, pulsing, powerful energy.

 Mine: I was sailing once and saw the sun at noon shining on the water creating an infinite path of shimmering golden stars. I knew at once this is what I wanted to fill my bubble and surround myself in. So I simply imagined pumping it full of this substance until it felt full.

Find your substance, fill your bubble and again pause to feel it. PAUSING IS A MOST IMPORTANT PIECE. Pausing to feel it both imprints and sets it, and gives you a template to return to. The more you are consciously in it the more powerful it becomes.

 In the beginning my field was so weak that I did this exercise several times a day. After continual focused daily practice (at least once a day, or if I had that sudden feeling of being completely drained, suddenly exhausted, I would do it again.)

I would say about a year passed with this practice and one day I entered my bubble one morning and found it fully intact. It always is now. It takes maintenance just like keeping oil in the engine of my car, brushing my teeth, vacuuming my house.... and filling my bubble. It has completely transformed my ability to move in the world, to maintain a constant level of energy even in difficult moments, to stay healthy and more.**

I know that if you do this practice it will change your life. I hope it serves you well.

The Empath Series - What is Mine, What is Their's? Your Kinesthetic Cues

(This is what happy looks and feels like...)

  Each feeling, each emotion has a matching kinesthetic cue. There are a multitude of biological, chemical, respiratory and muscular reactions coursing through our nervous systems in response to every experienced feeling. Fear, for instance, can increase the heart rate, create a cold feeling in the pit of the stomach, shorten the breath, heighten the hearing and cloud the vision.

You may choose which system of your body you wish to explore. For instance, you could decide to see how each feeling affects your breathing or how your muscular system reacts to various feelings. These are your personal, subjective cues. They have a particular signature that is always specific to you.

 If you become intimately familiar with your own cues, you will always be able to tell the difference between your fear and someone else's. ( or any other feeling).

 When one feels another person's feelings and emotions, there is also always an added piece, that can feel like an extra weight, confusion, repulsion or contraction, a feeling of being attacked or of wanting to pull away from something that seems to smother you.

If each day you begin to gently catalog how you feel in your body as you experience your own emotions and feelings, you will begin to recognize your own kinesthetic cues and you will know without a doubt when you are feeling or absorbing someone else's feeling.

A simple list can help:

What does fear feel like in my body? 

What does joy feel like in my body? 

Is there a sensation in my chest?

Do I want to laugh?

Do I feel lighter? 

Has my vision changed?

 

What does anger feel like in my body?

Is my stomach tight?

Is my breathing shallow?

Has my vision changed?

Am I cold or hot?

 

What does resistance feel like in my body?

Do I feel contractions in my muscles?

Do I feel smaller?

Is my jaw tight?

Do I want to run away?

 

What does blame feel like in my body?

Is all my attention outward?

Is my mind in obsessive mode? 

Am I angry?

 

And, fill in the blanks:

What does love feel like in my body?

 

What does hope feel like in my body?

 

What does shame feel like in my body?

 

 The trick is to not get distracted by one's attachment to one's own story in this exploration, but to simply observe as many feelings as possible as you build up your own reference library of kinesthetic awarenesses to support knowing " what is mine and what is their's".

 

Once you become intimately connected and familiar with what your own emotions/feelings feel like, you will always know when you are feeling someone else's feelings because the signature is always slightly different. Just as you would know if you put someone else's coat on, you will know immediately, "Ah! This  is not mine!"

It is a great and profound relief.

 

The Empath Series - Answers: Why Does My Body Hurt?

The Empath Series: Why Does My Body Hurt?

Are any of these experiences familiar to you?

• Strange illnesses that doctors cannot find the reason for or even identify, that appear and then disappear
• constant physical pain
• pain that suddenly appears and disappears
• pain when touched in passing

I was first hospitalized at the age of 3. Apparently, my bladder somehow stopped functioning. It was my first experience of my body internalizing too much feeling and manifesting as a withdrawal from the physical and the body simply shutting off.
It came and then it went. No one could explain why or how. Then when I was 9, I was hospitalized again because I could not move my neck. My parents had left us with my paternal grandparents when they went on a trip and it was not a harmonious situation, so I stopped moving. They put me in the hospital, and then in traction, which even then made no sense to me, as my neck was already not moving...
 They decided I probably had a brain tumor and gave me a myelogram which consisted of shooting dye into my spine, x-raying it and then removing the dye which has the effect of a spinal tap, taking spinal fluid and creating a terribly painful migraine level headache and excruciating spinal pain. They found nothing and eventually it disappeared.

Without a "filter" I absorbed everything from everyone. At the time (the 1960's) neuropeptides were not yet studied, and neuroscience and the mind-body had not yet entered the mainstream consciousness. So I was on my own.

I discovered early on that I was highly allergic, received multitudes of tests but when they told me I was allergic to animals, that was it. I somehow knew I had to find my own way.  It was the beginning of my exploration of alternative healing modalities. I began a study of herbs and natural foods. In 1972 I discovered Flower Essences and Vibrational Medicine and I knew then that I had found my " medicine".  http://www.katerosehealing.com/about.html
At 14 I became a vegetarian and stayed that way for about 10 years until one of my beloved spiritual teachers gave me a very powerful lesson that changed everything.
(See the story "The Golden Chains")

I spent many many years sick and in pain, not knowing that it was not all mine. Until I learned how to create the filters, clear my whole energy field and strengthen it so that it is impermeable to other people's feelings and the energy they carry, I could not stay healthy.
In addition, as a Healer, I was processing through my body. I thought I had to. I became so depleted that I thought I was going to die. Let me say clearly here that these clearing and cleaning practices did not lessen my sensitivity or empathic gifts or perceptions. In fact, they all became clearer,  and my work much more focused and effective. Like ramping up my download streaming speed to a million g's.
It was then that I began to work with feeling energy, and seeing energy,  understanding the need, not just need but the requirement to learn how to clear and clean my field, have incredible, beautiful, functioning, stable boundaries and be willing to let go of other people's "stuff."
 One of the biggest hazards in empathic living is the belief that we must carry all the feelings of the collective. " If I can see it and feel it I am responsible for fixing it". We miss the fact that we may be taking something from someone that they need. It is I believe a hard lesson for people who have a healing vocation to know when to let go. It certainly was for me. This takes us into the realm of Empathic Co-dependence.

If your body us hurting, if you are sick and in pain, first and foremost, begin by asking " Is this mine?" You will almost always know very quickly, especially if you are working with others or worrying about someone etc etc. Learning to clear and clean your energy field is crucial to your health. Just as we shower and brush our teeth every day, this must become part of our "maintenance".

The whatever we have created or absorbed into our system that is manifesting as illness or pain can be focused on and healed.
 I no longer suffer these pains that I suffered for decades. I have healed my own "auto-immune" disease. I have no allergies.
From this exploration and practice, I discovered the healing power and secrets of the Free Empowered Imagination.

The Golden Chains

“The Golden Chains”

SriMata Gayatri Devi
1906-1995

I was visiting the Vedanta Center Ashram in Cohasset, MA for the celebration of the Ramakrishna Puja in the late 1970’s. Sri Mata Gayatri Devi,( Mataji or Ma) always prepared the food for the Puja and had made among other things, her special fish dish. The food is then offered in a special service and is considered blessed and so the partaking of all the dishes is a very special gift. The Ashrama Family and guests were sitting at the long table in what is now the dining room, and the Sisters and Brothers were serving the meal. One of them brought me a plate, and as she began to set it down someone said:

“Oh, no she is a vegetarian”.
Sri Ma Gayatri Devi said, ”Give her the fish”

And the server said, “”But, she is a vegetarian, Ma. “

And Ma said, “”Give her the fish.“

Again someone said, very slowly, clearly and sincerely,(as if explaining to Ma, as if she couldn’t hear or didn’t know what she was doing,)

“But Ma, Katyayani* is a vegetarian. “

By this time I was well aware that Mataji had a very clear purpose, but I was a vegetarian and I had not had any animal food for over 10 years, and I did not want to eat the fish, Prasad (Blessed Food ) or no. But I didn’t say anything ( hope springs eternal…)

So one more time someone said, “Ma she is a vegetarian”, 

and 

Ma said,”Give her the fish.”

So then, finally, I said, ” Ma, I am a vegetarian and I don’t want to eat this fish.”

She looked me straight in the eye and the heart and said, “Ma, even the Golden Chains have to go”.

So I said, “Well if you will take on the karma of me eating this very beautifully cooked, blessed and very dead fish I will eat it .”

Ma said, “Fine. “

and I ate the fish.

It was an amazing lesson, blessing, and transmission of a teaching that has stayed with me for almost 40 years. There are wonderful, powerful things that we learn and practices and beliefs. Things that are good for us and others. But they can still be chains. Just Golden Chains. True freedom has no chains.
So when I look inside and outside in my life I must always ask," Is this a Golden Chain"

and then I eat the fish. Again.

( *Katyayani was the name Mataji gave me after our first meeting. It is a name of Mother Kali.)

MadMat Salon Imagine Healing Interview with Kate Rose

The Empath Series - Answers - Staying Open/Shutting Down

 In response to the question :
How do you keep the emotions of others out without shutting down your own empathic sensitivity?

There is a difference between walls and boundaries. The creation and maintenance of the energetic filter allows us to feel everything without absorbing all the feelings. Asking the question "Is this mine?", creates a moment of reflection rather than instant reactivity. When you ask yourself,"Is this mine?", there is always a response. There is a knowing in us about our own "stuff" whether we look at it or not, we usually can recognize it. When it is someone else's feeling there is a sense that it doesn't quite fit. One usually feels confusion or discomfort on some level. Like trying to put on someone else's coat, it just doesn't fit. If you can recognize that feeling, and then say to your self, this is not mine, the feeling will tend to dissipate. 
 We are usually in full open absorption mode and this is why we often only see two options. Wide open with no boundaries, or fully closed with no receptivity.
Living life as an Empath without being in perpetual pain is a process of continually developing and practicing self-awareness. In order to know what is someone else's, I have to know what is my own.Which means on some level taking responsibility not only for my own feelings and issues but becoming aware on multiple levels of what they are, what their signatures are in mind body and spirit.
We then experience peace, balance, equilibrium and the choice to feel.
