 | When inertial patterns become the primary pathways in our system, our ground fluid (the foundational fluid of the body), becomes gelled. Can you take a moment to drop into a felt sense of gel (like jello) in between all the structures in your body? When we begin to make different decisions and surrender to what is as it is, a thaw occurs. |
It’s common to want this thaw to happen quickly, for spring and all its abundant beauty to instantaneously transform our inner landscape into flowing rivers of pleasure and joy. If we look at nature though, we’ll notice that it’s a process. I’ve been paying more attention this year to how long it takes, even after temps rise above freezing, for the snow and ice to melt. And then, a re-freezing easily follows.
Internally, this is a process of courageously facing the beliefs, movement patterns, paradigms and choices that may have protected us in the past and have now reached a tipping point. That point is an interface between our subconscious and conscious. Once a habit that’s been frozen and inaccessible begins to poke its head out into the sunshine, we can sense it and engage with it.
This may spark all kinds of feelings – anger, shame, frustration, grief, overwhelm, etc. If these overtake your system, you may push the habit back into hiding, which may be a sign you’re not quite ready to be present with it. Meet that too with tenderness.
One way to engage with patterns becoming conscious is to find spaciousness and feel them in your body. The body communicates constantly between all of its parts and if you listen attentively, she will communicate to your awareness. This is where it’s often helpful to have someone hold space for it. I used to believe that if I had a strong enough dedication to finding patterns, I could reveal them myself. Although it is possible, I’ve personally learned that having someone well-versed in holding presence with the body co-create a container for my inquiries empowers my ability to become aware of what’s been below the surface. Essentially, it supports the transition from gel to fluid, from stuck to moving, from dissociation to presence. And through presence you can create new ways of being more apt to meet the moment you’re living now with grace and love. Allowing the freezing and thawing and freezing and thawing without resistance.
