In times of significant change in season, life and world events, this is an invitation to practice self-care while moving though all of these transitions. This article will give you examples of how your body and mind work together, and how this relationship can give you information to create significant change in your resilience through awareness, response and nurture.
Your body-mind-spirit system gives you feedback through your body sensations, mood, and outlook on life. In Resonance Repatterning® works with many holistic disciplines. One of these disciplines is Chinese Medicine. This system honors the body-mind-spirit system for the energetic communication and connection. An acupressure point, meridian or element speaks to the wisdom this relationship gives the whole system. A session can identify where energy is blocked in your system, and how this interruption of energy impacts your wellness and well-being in all aspects of your life
The Need for Support and Nurture in Significant Change
As an example, working with Spleen Meridian is often considered for support and nurture in working with shifts in situations and energy that you experience in your life. At the same time, You might be starting a new project, making a move, entering or completing a phase in your life, having surgery or recovering from illness, experiencing a change in family or relationship dynamics, retiring, or suddenly finding yourself emotionally confused, worried, or distraught about what is happening in the world around you.
“The challenge of recovery is to reestablish ownership of your body and your mind—of your self.” – Bessel van der Kolk
The somatic response to current stress and triggers from past traumas might be represented in your body in some of the following ways:
- Trauma Reflex Response where your body continues to carry a pain response that creates asymmetry in how you hold your body. It reflects the remnants of how your body and mind have not released the mobilized energy of a traumatic experience.
- The Protective-Startle Response where your body and mind resonate with worry or fear of threat in a way that reflects a protective posture both physically and emotionally toward life.
- The Landau Response reflects a body posture of being prepared for action even when no action is needed. Your beliefs, thoughts and attitude reinforce the need for hypervigilance.
The question that Spleen Meridian asks is “Where in your life do you feel like you might collapse or have difficulty getting the support and nurture you need to get you through the changes that are showing up in your life?
You might be experiencing issues that crop up unexpectedly like a project that takes focused attention to complete, a move, job loss or change, financial depletion, a health issue, or family issue that needs support and nurture. This need for nurture and support can show up on a regular basis like taxes, mortgage payments, rent, or business deadlines. In every case, there is a need to experience support on the physical level to have the energy to take next steps, emotional level to give you the information or social support you need to experience safety and security.
Creating Awareness of Your Needs in Significant Change
Basic needs are essential to be able to take next steps. When you feel shut down, unable to make a decision or consider next steps, this is precisely the time to consider taking time to ask yourself the question: “What would make this situation better?” “What would allow me to feel better?”
The moral of the story is that the quality of support and nurture you give yourself and the permission to connect to resources in any challenging situation to navigate change to create positive change through self-actualization.
This is a good time to journal, rest, meditate, or take a walk in nature. Use your 5 senses to you take time to nurture yourself. Notice what your body is telling you. Tune into what new awareness is coming up. Be sure to write it down. It’s okay to brainstorm, draw pictures, write single or groups of words, or let what you feel or write down marinate. Know that when you give yourself the time and space you can access wisdom and grace more easily because you move into the rest, digest, and heal mode of the Parasympathetic Nervous System.
