Dacher's voice has reminded me of somebody I know and could not put my fnger on it. I finally figured out who it was, I could see the face of the person coming in and out of my mind. It is Boston Rob from survivor. He has the same voice and pronunciations as Boston Rob. Thank God the relaxation started with a female voice and sound of ocean waves. I would have not been able to continue the exercise.
I loved the soun of the ocan waves, it helped me a great deal with relaxation and the fact the exercise gives you time to shift from step to step. The main idea helpful for me was to loosen any grasping or attachment to any thoughts or images, just to observe them. It was a very emotional experience for me, as I started to cry, having to let go of emotions I had no idea I was hanging on to. The concept of taking in a loved one's pain is hard for me. Why would I want to take on their pain? I am sure through time and practice, it will become easier and will learn the reason as I go on. I will definitely have to practice this everyday. Absolutely love it!
This is something I would love to have my mom listen too. She is carrying around a lot of baggage that over the years of my childhood, she has bestowed upon me and I have taken on some of her fears. I have realized this and throughout my life I have started to let go of these emotions, realizing they are hers. She has wanted me to be in her world of pain so she wasn't alone in it. She definitely could benefit from this. Yvette
Wow Yvette!
ReplyDeleteWhat a powerful experience you had. Thank you for sharing.
Reading about how you were able to successfully release your grasp on emotional pain helped me realize how truely fearful of the ocean I am. This fear almost ruined my ability to do the exercise.
I'm glad you experienced profound benefits! Hopefully your Mom will allow you to help her. God Bless!

Hi Yevette! I am really glad this exercise helped you let go of emotions you didn't know you were hanging on to. It didn't affect me in that way, I felt more of a peacefulness come over me. I wasn't too sure at first of taking in someone else’s pain either but when I did I imagined a very close friend of mine who is going through a rough patch in her life and when I breathed in her suffering and breathed out peace and wholeness I could actually feel her suffering dissolving in my heart. I was a awesome feeling! I will definitely practice this on a daily basis. I can incorporate this exercise into my daily prayers for my family too. I know that prayer changes lives but praying in this manner gives me a more spiritual feeling. I'm sure your mother would benefit from this exercise as well.
