Heart Connection As Healer
As a therapist I see people everyday that have fallen prey to the system. Firstly, what do I mean by the system? The system is a web of people who are doing the work of those in control by keeping as many of us as possible immersed in fear and ignorance.
I will give you an example of a system which I run across all too often. A client comes to me for therapy as a result of a divorce and child custody issues. I am typically hired to work with one of the partners for an issue like depression, anxiety, substance abuse or anger management. The client is often dealing with issues like this after having been accused of malfeasance by the other partner. The legal counsel has leveled the complaint and ordered psychological assessments for both spouses and all of the children. Amazingly the assessments almost always show exactly what the attorney is alleging. When I ask a few questions, it is easy to determine that the psychologist has a cozy relationship with the attorney. The cost of the assessments can run $7,000 or $8,000 each. This is in addition to the attorney fees which are upwards of $25,000. Realize that neither party nor the children have received any therapy at this juncture. Everyone is angry and afraid and the buzzards have circled down to feast on the carcass of the marriage. This system is perpetuated by the courts because they are part of it and are handsomely compensated for it.
From an energetic perspective, the anger and fear created by the attorneys keep the clients locked into the reptilian brain which is characterized by the fight or flight syndrome. When people are afraid, they are easily manipulated. They lose their ability to think clearly and are willing to spend their last dollars to save the children from the evil clutches of the person they were madly in love a few years ago. This scenario is repeated in so many situations including illnesses, job loss and loss of loved ones through death.
As a therapist and a healer, I see the solution as being able to connect with our hearts and to our higher selves. We can learn to see ourselves and each other as one and not get pulled into the “blame game”. We can develop a meditation practice and learn to breathe to avoid slipping into fight or flight mode. I teach clients to take responsibility for their situations without blaming themselves. Every situation is an opportunity to expand our awareness to a new level of forgiveness for ourselves and other. I don’t advocate fighting the system; I encourage people not to fall into it. We can stay out of the system energetically even as we are in it by having a spiritual practice as outlined above.
Fearless Therapist, I asked you a question; what is the difference between fear and intuition and you said, “(…and this is the short answer,) fear is ego driven, where intuition comes from the heart.” So the next question then begs to be; how do I know which is which, because they both feel very much the same, especially when it comes down to something inherantly uncomfortable or scary, but not neccessarily dangerous or destructive…in fact, could even be an unrecognized blessing. Hmmmmmmm, this is definitly one of my conundrums in life…
The issue here is not so much to eradicate the source of the fear as it is to know that no matter what happens you will be fine. You are an immortal, eternal piece of infinite awareness having a human experience. I spoke in my second blog about the preacher warning of nuclear annihaltion, and I have to say that I am not sure that it won’t happen. It’s just that I know that it is only my body that could be destroyed. I am not looking to be saved. There is nothing to be saved from. I often say to clients who have been accused of being too sensitive that you can’t be too sensitive, it’s just that you can’t take it personally. I think it applies here that the more you are aware of your true self, the less fear you have. When you release the fear you are more capable of experiencing truth. Fear promotes denial. The control system of conscensual reality creates fear to trap us in our 5 sense mind . When we are stuck there, we go to the reptilian mind place of fight or flight,and higher consciousness is not available.
