There's a lot of drama and conflict in life. Sometimes the drama is exciting and sometimes the conflict challenges us to accomplish something important. Other times, life seems like a big chore, so why bother.
Three energy areas are involved. You can help yourself by gently, kindly addressing each one in a very quiet, softly lit, safe place. What you may find is balance and clarity. It is possible to let go of off those old habits, bad memories, and painful relationships. Sit up straight and tall with your legs crossed comfortably in front of you, Place your hands on your knees with thumbs up and feel a fire in your belly. Then let those old habits and memories and experineces that don't work for you any longer burn up in the flame. Enjoy the freedom of letting them go.
This involves 3 areas of bodily energy to contemplate. I learned this and a whole lot more from Sigrid Matthews at the Black Dog Yoga center in Sherman Oaks, California.
• Muladhara or earth. When it is balanced you are compassionate and caring. This root system, located at the base of the spine, is the survival and healing center. Fear, victimization, and greed are the imbalance. No wonder you backs hurts after a bad day. Use the following affirmations.
1. I have the right to be.
2. I feel stable, secure, and firmly rooted in the present.
3. I stand up for what I believe.
4. I am exactly where I need to be.
• Svadisthana or water. When balanced you are passionate but not a martyr or guilty. Say the following affirmations to yourself.
1. I have a right to feel.
2. I enjoy the way my life unfolds.
3. I am trustworthy, full of grace and confidence.
4. I feel creative and alive.
• Manipura or fire. Think success in business. If you are balanced you feel self-confident and self-esteem, but not controlling or the bully or the slave. You may not even be aware of this problem. The affirmations are.
1. I have the right to act and follow my own path.
2. I claim my own power and accept responsibility for them.
3. I am courageous and confident.
4. I go for my dreams.
The changes can be subtle or immediately profound. If you stay with just this much you will feel a relief. There is a lot more you can do and lot more explanation, but with this start, you can let the conflict and drama fall away as you discover your enthusiasm and delight. Try it and let me know how it works for you.
