We are rarely stuck for the reasons we think we are. There is almost always something deeper that is really the cause.
Dr. Sue Morter
I have the experience of feeling stuck these days...stuck in some low energy cycle within the body and around the body. Have you ever felt like that?
In Chapter 6 of The Energy Codes, Dr. Sue Morter teaches that most of our challenging life circumstances and body issues are the result of some subconscious beliefs and messaging stuffed and stored within us. We may blame the unpaid bills, the difficult interactions with others, or the physical symptoms we are experiencing on external causes, but I am seeing more and more in my own life experience that isn't the case. Beneath the "trap door" of our psyches is an energy leaking from emotionally charged and unprocessed events from our past that we had stuffed when we were unable to, or unwilling to, process them consciously at the time they first unfolded. This stored and stuffed stuff, that a yogi would refer to as samskaras, is running and controlling our lives in an insidious way. It is seeping into our body tissue, curling up in areas, transforming into sensations, symptoms, disorder or disease. It is seeping out around us into the circumstances we encounter that reflect the same low energy vibrations back to us. These become distractions. And where attention goes, energy flows. We continue to repeat the same low energy vibrations with our thinking, feeling, and experiencing. Basically...
whatever is hiding beneath the trap door of the subconscious is running us, despite what we do consciously. page 157
She teaches the same thing many yogis, including Michael A. Singer, teaches. She teaches these samskaras (though she doesn't refer to them as such) are created whenever we resist life by saying "No" to it in one way or another. Maybe, the psyche after an activation of "Fight or Flight" deemed the unfolding of a particular event with its emotional charge as too painful...or too challeneging...too disruptive to the model of expectations and desires we created. The event with its energetic charge then finds its way into our subconscious and gets locked behind a "trap door". We resisted or rejected it; therefore we repressed and supressed it. Our resistance becomes a knot in the body and blockage in the energy flow. When energy is stuck. We are stuck. Sigh!
Morter says we do not have to go to the mind or its story to get unstuck, to unblock the areas involved so the energy can flow. We need to go beneath it. We need to go beyond the conscious mind to the subconscious mind and to the body to open up some trap doors. We need to open the doors to the subconscious so the stuffed stuff can be noticed, heard, calmed with the truth that the crisis that put it there has been resolved, and then it can be released by opening up to the sensations in our body. Sigh!
I am not completely sure about her approach but I do know healing is an inside game. We need to start digging our way back from the external world...to the first layer of psyche...from there, through one layer at a time as we attempt to get to what is beneath the mind and story. As we dig we will clang and bang against many trap doors. We must lift each door ...shout out, "It's okay! War's over. You can come out now."...observe and experience what comes up as it is released. Then, we move on with the dig until we hit the next trap door, and the next, and the next.
Her version of digging comes in a variety of modified pranayam, kriya practices, and yoga asanas taking us into the body and from there beyond the body.
We free the raw energy underneath our stories and beliefs and work with that. page 175
I so want to become unstuck. I am willing to try out her practices to see if it helps. It is, afterall, just a modified form of the kriya and pranayama I have been doing. It can't hurt.
Is it ironic though...that as I am beginning this energy code adventure...my mouth and eye act up at the same time? These are kind of bizarre things within themselves. As I look around me, I also see others close to me suffering from physical issues and wonder/ ask what they are hiding in their subconscious to cause such a flare up or if it is my wild energy loops affecting them. D. for example has COPD and I notice as my body starts expressing these ailments...his body does the same...expressing similar energy leaks. Ironically, we are both on the exact same antibiotic at the exact same time ...dose for dose. These were ordered by different care providers through different modes for completely different reasons. What is the statistical probability of that happening?
I have this sense that this whole house is just vibrating with low frequency "stuck" energy. You can just see it in the state of it. None of us seem to have the energy to "care for it" in an unstuck way. If I ask anyone living in it, "Are you feeling stuck?" I hear a resounding "Yes!" We are all living with the heaviness of "stuckness" within an environment that is reflecting that stuckness, though we all have totally different perceptions based on totally different pasts, and different experiences of life. Is that coincidence? Or is it a shared energy? I hope to God, though...it isn't all coming from this human I call me. I would hate to be responsible for doing this to others.
Anyway, I am rambling again. It is interesting, though, even if it is interesting in a "cra-cra" or "woo-woo" way to think about this energy thing, isn't it? I see so many more possible causes for my stuckness now and in a much deeper way. I would like to explore this farther.
All is well
