Interdependence Day

By Adam Gainsburg

On a day where much attention is focused on holiday activities and our apparent “independence” it can be valuable to become more aware of how very dependent we actually are on each other, and everything we interact with. Without any of them, our life would not hold the magic potential that it does for us.

A Prayer on Interdependence Day

May we vividly see others as our selves.
May we live the idea of Self as a life of Selflessness.
May we devote our thoughts to understanding, our words to truthfulness, and our actions to peace.
May all of our experiences serve the awakening of all Life everywhere.
May we walk into each moment as if the only truth is All of us.
May we each live this day in celebration of our Diversity and in reverence of our Oneness.

Thank Your Trauma; Transmute Your Pain - Process of Transformation Blog #5

As you give thanks to the horrors of your life, deep transformative change occurs. The ancient brain houses the fear, terror and rage patterns. When these are activated, they take over. The magnificent power of gratitude can transform these ancient patterns. The ancient brain has been around for about 500 million years. Can you imagine how pissed off and embittered you would be if you had been working all those years and had never been acknowledged or thanked? Every aspect of the body, every particle and cell has consciousness and awareness. These areas whose job it is to express terror, rage and fear to keep the body safe have not been thanked for eons of time. This higher frequency of gratitude bathes the ancient brain bringing in a more vibrant alive wave. With the gratitude comes a gradual shifting in the bodymind. The fear mechanism remains intact to continue its job to protect the body. However, the overlay of built up unnecessary fear response gradually melts with gratitude. This is true for all the emotional responses.

The responses of fear, anger, rage and sadness are all important and appropriate for proper functioning, and these response mechanisms can build up with an overlay of unnecessary layers. They can get triggered more easily and then create more build-up. The gratitude wave eventually clears away this excessive buildup. It is like cleaning off scum, mold and puss that keeps feeding on itself while getting bigger and bigger. Much of our fear is logged in this portion of the brain and as it is clearing out, deep terror can be experienced. Many times, these emotions need to be experienced as they leave the body. Repressing these ancient emotions only acts to keep them deeply buried. As these old patterns are met with gratitude and thanked, their frequency and wavelength change. The higher frequency of gratitude comes in and breaks up the frozen states of fear. As these frozen states of fear start to melt into the higher vibration, the old energy is experienced once again. This deep level of cellular transformation can be followed by waves of the most incredible sensuous, flowing bliss, peace and deep satisfaction.

The trauma and horrors of the past melt away in the frequency of gratitude and thanks. Generous amounts of life force energies need to flow to the brain for this type of transformation to occur. The old frozen stuck blocks have the opportunity to shift and eventually flow once again creating joy beyond your wildest imagination.

Riding the Emotional Roller Coaster - Process of Transformation Blog #4

Are you riding the emotional roller coaster feeling totally out of control and lost? When the internal energies build up and reach a critical mass they burst through to the next level of wellness and happiness. In other words, you can be feeling great, maybe the best ever and then you feel like crap. It looks like you are having a set back. In reality the next layer of toxins are coming out to be cleaned; then you will feel even better. Rather than seeing this as a setback, it can be seen as birthing into greater wholeness. Instead of two steps forward, one step backward, it is more like your body has the ability to get more refined, to experience greater joy and inner peace.

Different levels or layers get cleared at different times. One process may release emotions and you may feel anger, grief, sadness, and rage all within a short time frame. Sometimes it is the physical stuff that oozes from the body. Other times the thoughts will be attacking you like you just stepped into a hornet’s nest. Still other times the dark night of the soul may descend on you and there is not even the slightest glimmer of light to be found anywhere. These are all a part of the process. Give thanks to it all as it emerges from the deep recesses of your bodymind; when it is done you will experience greater joy than you could ever imagine. Your body is unwinding the past, preparing for a glorious future.
