I returned from The Missing Thread Intensive with a newfound sense of powerful “innergy”. All I can say is WOW – a workshop like none other I’ve ever experienced. And working in the personal development field for a dozen years, I’ve had my fill of workshops. You’ve just got to experience The Missing Thread for yourself. Their perspective is that mindset isn’t just in the mind, it’s in the body. We hold our life stories in our body and it affects us on many levels. When we release those stories, we really get in touch with our “innergy” which helps us manifest what we need and quiet and de-energize those things that don’t serve us well any more.
What is your body telling you? Where do you hurt, where are your little aches and pains? I found I was having lower back aches and learned through this workshop that lower back stiffness/soreness usually means a feeling of lack of support. Yup, that’s exactly what I was feeling – that it all landed on me to support myself. Being a fiercely independent type with the “I don’t need any help, I can do it myself” attitude. I’d been not asking for help for so long, I didn’t really even know how. After learning how to powerfully ask for help instead of feeling weak in the asking, was a breakthrough for me.
Now I can more easily ask for support and help from the people I know have the capabilities to provide exactly what I need. My back is feeling much better, thank you very much. I’m guessing the new ease of beach living and doing 3 beach walks per day doesn’t hurt – it puts my mind at ease, surrounds me with negative ions which makes me feel better. Other worries or woes seem to melt away when doing meditative walks near the rhythm of the waves.
I’ve recently heard that worrying is nothing but praying for something you don’t want to happen. So get your mindset in the right direction and your body will follow suit. Be pro-active about what you’re doing with your mind and your body. Make tough decisions about where your mind and your body both need to be in order to heal and be set free. Where are you now and where do you need to be? With me, it was the beach – not just any body of water – the dynamic, powerful yet soothing aspects of the beach and the ocean. How about you?
I used to be a full-blown mountaineer – living at 8000 feet, doing everything outdoors and living to be in and near the Rockies or the Alps. It was a total immersion lifestyle for my 20’s and 30’s. In my 40’s when I was looking for a place to BE, I thought the mountains were calling me again, so I moved. What I found is that while the masculine type of mountains in Colorado were good for me in my hard-charging 20’s, I now sought the more feminine California coastal mountains. A kinder, gentler, softer side of being in the hills. I felt uncomfortable in the harsh weather of the Rocky Mountain winters. I had become a candy ass while getting used to the moderate winters in Arizona. Part of the aging process and wising up as to what comforts me, I guess. I thought a mountain lake was it and now I know I need more ocean and less mountain. My mind and body told me where I needed to BE at this time in my life and I feel it to be true. I’ve landed in a place where my mindset and my body can be at ease and at peace. A soft place to land after dealing with the world each day.
Take a look at what you body is telling you and listen to it. Sore throats – what are you holding back, or not saying? I had a pain in the neck leading up to my short marriage and the entire time I was married – nothing could resolve it, even weekly massages and chiropractor visits for 2 years … except divorce. Once I was free again, the pain left. Amazing.
What are your body stories? For guidance down that path, I suggest taking the intensive lead by Donny and Kirk – truly gifted guides and pioneers in this realm. Donny and Kirk run The Missing Thread and they also are the guardians of the Crystal Energy Jewelry and Power Pendants that I’ve posted about earlier.
I’ve come to be a great believer in the power of their jewelry as a support system using the healing crystals contained in them. Another way of supporting myself. One ring that caught my attention is one that supports life balance, cleansing, healing, spirituality and strength, Goddess energy, a clear channel for Earth magic, harmony in nature, self esteem and growth. Now those are things that I would like to have around and be reminded of each day as it sits on my hand. What I’ve also found is that wearing these energy talismans is that they attract people and conversation and you just never know where those conversations may lead. I’ve never experienced anything quite like the attraction factor of this jewelry. At least knowing these things about what you’re wearing also puts you in a good mindset and after all, our mind is our most powerful healer.
