I discovered today.
I acknowledged in my body today.
I felt a Truth rise up in me today.
I knew a felt sense today.
After my lovely energy session was almost complete and I was relaxing and breathing deeply and without panic for the first time in weeks, B took me through a couple of meditative visuals. Halfway through the second one, I spilled over with tears, and continued to be highly emotional during the next ten minutes while I explained what had happened internally for me.
We often discuss what the body does, or says, during sessions.
Here's a WILDLY ABRIDGED version of the visualization exercise:
- Imagine the soles of your feet in contact with soft earth.
(I immediately thought Costa Rican soil and saw huge green leaves coming up from the ground at the base of a giant tree. It was in this soil that I imagined my feet.)
- Feel the earth energy entering you from the soles of your feet, through your gates, into your calves and shins, past your knees ....
(I could actually feel a tingly rushy feeling going everywhere she led me. I felt content and joyful, and all of a sudden I knew. Costa Rica would be good for me. A place of healing and good energy.)
She continued leading the earth energy up my body and when it reached my center -- my womb -- I could see the little light zipping around and joyfully doing figure eights around my belly. (I would find joy and healing and nourishment in Costa Rica.)
And.
I started crying.
I struggled with the earth energy going higher through the upper chakras. It did. It was dimmed and not so joyful, but it made it.
I struggled with feelings of un-worthiness.
Was I crying because I felt like Costa Rica was the right place for me, but that it might not be for my kids and I can't get there yet, until my kids are grown up? Was I crying because I didn't feel worthy of obtaining/attaining this dream, when I should be focusing on my kids' dreams?
Or was I crying because I felt unworthy of earth energy? Maybe because I was blocked in one of those chakras? Or because I wasn't worthy of feeling joy? (GASP)
I don't know the answer to any of those questions.
Then or now.
B's hypothesis is that I've been disconnected from Earth energy for a long time and I was reunited with it today. That I felt joy and longing for it today. And the tears were a mixture of relief, love and longing.
That rings true, too.
When I asked her what to do with it, she just said 'sit with it.' Let it be there. (Of course she did.)
I'm concerned that since I wasn't able to process those feelings right after the session (due to a business meeting) that the impact -- the import and impact -- are missing now.
This is a faithful accounting of what happened at the session, but the ... longing and relief ... are missing.
I wish I could re-capture that ... in case there were extra messages there for me.
I feel like I have the clarity now that Costa Rica is definitely that place I need to be. And that it will be good for me there. Being with nature in that way will be healing for me, like the island was for that character in Lost that didn't have cancer as long as she was there. Eventually I will live there. I know it now.
But what about that other part?
The part about Costa Rica being my longing, and not my kids' dream. And the dissonance of having a dream that is different from theirs. And when is it okay to act on a dream that is in contrast to your family's? And how do I go about doing that in a safe and respectful way?
