What's New:
The New Year started off with a new flow of in-coming energy. At the time it felt wonderful after the trying time of 2010; but following on from the new energy came the devastating floods & cyclone Yasi for Queensland.
Floods of this level bring up deep emotional feelings for the victims who are deeply overcome by loss of loved ones and property. Similarly, Black Saturday bush fire victims of 2009 underwent the deep emotional trauma and have had to move on rebuild and find some salvation or peace in their lives.
What underlies these great changes is an emotional depth that needs and requires fortitude and courage to rebuild in the face of such forceful devastation. While for the rest of us who are observing the devastation through the media and feel for our brothers and sisters, we are also affected energetically and emotionally.
Panic, forgetfulness, cowardly sad, happy heroic or feeling plain scared, all are the emotions of survival mode.
When humans are placed under great stress it brings out the very best in us and the extreme worst. The shadow side of human nature is usually kept hidden; with many of us we would be unsure how we would react in such dire circumstances.
We are affected by our environment through our emotional body via the thymus chakra or 4 ½ chakra (as it is called in Newlife Reiki Seichim ). Fear or anxiety targets our primordial fear centre, which is different for each of us. This fear centre can be located at our solar plexuses, where we feel sick with worry or our shoulders where we carry our burdens. It may be the back of the neck when we experience headaches or migraines.
From our major fear centre (and we all do it differently) it then effects the emotional body, from this point the physical body starts to break down.
In David Schoen book “The Tempest”, he writes about the affects of the hurricane from the psychological perspective. Before a hurricane arrives there is both an approach and avoidance reaction to the storm. There is a duality of response; people attracted and repelled at the same time.
When a hurricane hits a community all human endeavors not related to the hurricane & survival cease to be important. There are the signs of immediate relief & then disappointment when the storm turns away.
When a hurricane comes close to hitting a community but misses, people often experience a strange annoyance and irritability several days after. The people are left with a combination of un-discharged energy and pent up anticipation. They have no choice but to return to the mundane of daily routine.
David goes on to say; we are humbled and reminded by of our helplessness of the forces of nature over which we have no control and writes that family stress in the aftermath of the storm are overwhelming with 30 % marriages breaking down, child abuse is multiplied, & intact families struggle with every day life.
So much support is required for victims of Mother Nature’s fury.
If humanity does not find compassion in the aftermath towards its fellow humans through caring support and compassion thorough the heart mind / thymus, then the emotional fear centre, goes into primordial survival mode and our animalistic nature takes over.
How do you over come the emotional aftermath?
First admit we are only human but we are the most intelligent of all life on this planet. We have compassionate natures and are able to help our country men and women. Work with your fears as they surface or get help to understand the emotions surfacing. Through Counseling, meditation sessions.
By acknowledging the issue you become conscious of it. You then have the power to take control. Small steps forward can bring acceptance. With acceptance energy starts to move and new beginnings can take place.
