Coming to Your Senses for Your Wellness and Well-being

Coming to your senses when you have been feeling frustrated, angry, afraid, or anxious is beneficial to your wellness and well-being. It’s important to know that you can neutralize and shift your body-mind response by working with your 5 senses. By doing so you create short and long-term changes in choosing what you want to experience in your life.

Coming to Your Senses with Sight, Hearing, Touch, Taste, and Smell

Your 5 senses allow you to experience the world in different ways. Working with the 5 Element and Meridian System allows you to work with each of your senses. Each of the 5 Elements includes one of these primary senses and includes primary emotions, color, sound, smell, taste, and touch.

As an example, let’s consider Wood Element which is prevalent at this time of year. It is at this time when everything is growing, and also a time of year related to “Spring Fever” or acting without thinking. When this element is out of balance, it is important to work with stabilizing the energy that is presenting itself. The primary color of Wood Element is green, the emotion is anger, the sound is shouting, and is expressed through the movement of the ligaments. The smell is rancid and the taste is sour.

Your response to life starts with your thoughts which create emotions. It is important to register the connection between the information your body is giving you to be able to restore greater harmony and balance.

For example, sight or vision is primarily related to the Wood Element and your Gall Bladder and Liver. What is important to note about the relationship between your vision, anger and the organs related to Wood Element is that you can work with all of your 5 senses to bring about greater harmony and balance.

Everything is frequency. Your body-mind system responds to color, sound, movement, aroma, touch and taste. This means that input into your body through your senses can either nourish or deplete your life energy.

Using the example of Wood Element, your Liver and Gall Bladder and anger, accessing your senses to create greater wellness and well-being would look like the following:

1. Sight: When you are angry, your eye muscles tense up and the ability of your eyes to take in light is diminished. This means that your body-mind system limits the intake of energy for breathing, movement, cellular function, blood flow, adrenaline spikes, executive function, and memory. Over time, anger can overwhelm your system with anxiety and lead to depression.
2. Hearing: Anxiety and depression are fueled by fear. In Chinese Medicine, Water Element related to your kidneys and bladder, fear and hearing, feeds Wood Element or anger. It is not unusual when you feel afraid or angry to experience an inability to listen to what is going on around you. Coming to your senses can happen by listening to calming music or getting in touch with your breath.

Take a Mindful Walk in nature. The colors at this time of year paint a palette of nourishment and calm. The greening of plants, the colors of flowers, birds, and pollinators are all reminders of life on purpose. You are working with your tendons and muscles related to Wood Element while taking in the support of the Earth as you walk.

3. Touch: Acupressure points combined with steady deep breathing and meditation allow your body-mind system to reset to create more optimal life energy flow in your system where you feel stuck.

a) Let Go Point with Lung 1 on each side. This point is located under the collarbone, in the depression adjacent to the breastbone. You can treat both sides of your body by crossing your hands over your chest. Use your middle finger to contact Lung 1 on each side. Remember to breathe. As you inhale, slightly raise your elbows. As you exhale, bring your elbows back down. Continue in this process for 2-3 minutes. Just let it all go and relax.

b) Calm yourself with Sea of Tranquility/Conception Vessel 17 on the center of your breastbone, in the indentations or dips of the sternum bone. Place your hands together in a prayer position, and push your thumbs into the center of your chest. As you breathe in, feel your chest rise while your elbows rise up. As you breathe out, allow your elbows to come back down. This will relieve anxiety and bring you into your center.

c) Ground yourself with 3 Mile Point/ Stomach 36 located below the knee, on the outside surface of the lower leg. Sitting on a chair or edge of your bed, put your feet on the floor. Press your middle finger in contact with ST 36 on each leg. You can rest your elbows on your thighs as you do so. Get in touch with your breath and on the inhale, slightly lift your head. On the exhale, return your head slightly to a neutral position. Continue for a few moments. Notice how you feel more grounded and energized.

Acupressure point sequences are best done 2- 3 times a day for a few minutes followed by deep relaxation benefits your thinking and emotional response to stress.

4. Movement: The term fight or flight refers directly to the relationship between Water Element and Wood Element. You are wired for survival. Your nervous system can negatively react through panic attacks, tactile defensiveness, or numbing. Rewiring your body-mind system from the effects of trauma and habitual patterns is vital to access alternative responses through natural release with stress-reduction behaviors and actions.

Stretching and squatting relate directly to the Wood Element. It is good to know that exercise has positive effects on anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

5. Taste: Anger and fear negatively affect digestion related to the secretion of adrenaline. Fear shifts energy from your gut to your muscles in reaction to sensed danger. Anger increases stomach contractions that can lead to upper abdominal pain. It reduces colon contractions resulting in constipation. Fear loosens your bowels. Anger binds you up.

When you are feeling angry, your blood rushes to your head. Drink a glass of water to filter your blood circulation down through your body. Slow down when you eat, look at your food, notice the shape, color, and texture of your food. These are mindful ways to bring your attention to your senses in a nourishing way. Chew your food thoroughly and taste what you are eating. There is a dense nerve network in your mouth that actually calms you down when you take your time.

In addition, what you eat will determine how you feel. Choosing foods that create calm in your system will benefit your sense of well-being in the world.

Foods that nourish your digestions and cleanse your liver and gall bladder stabilize and restore balance in your body-mind system. Sour-tasting foods and greens are beneficial for Wood Element. Choose foods with stalks and eat sprouts. Bok choy, chard, broccoli rabe, spinach, asparagus, and celery are examples. Eat citrus fruit, sour plum, pineapple, or starfruit. Incorporate sour foods like sourdough bread or crackers, vinegar, yogurt, kimchi, pickles, sour yogurt, sauerkraut, and olives into your diet.

Season your food with anise, basil, bay, caraway, dill, fennel, ginger, marjoram, parsley, peppermint, saffron, sage, and turmeric in your cooking. Add them to grains like quinoa, amaranth, brown rice, millet, buckwheat, or wheat. Add them to lentils, lima beans, and split peas. You can also snack on sunflower seeds or cashews to stabilize and calm your system.

5. Smell: Aromatherapy is a wonderful way to shift your emotions, thoughts, and physical responses. The essential oil to create a greater sense of optimism and hope include lemon, grapefruit, coriander, and Ledum.*

Lavender, Chamomile, and Bergamot are also great choices for calming your nervous system and can be used to make teas. These scents are readily available when you include them in your cooking. Their benefits include regulating your mood, detoxification, diminishing stress with greater relaxation. *Be sure to use a carrier oil such as olive, almond, jojoba, or avocado oil when placing essential oils on your skin.

Coherence: Out of Chaos Comes Order in Resonance Repatterning

In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order. ~Carl Jung

Resonance Repatterning® works with this creating coherence and order related to patterns in your life that drive chaos. The integrity of your personal health, relationships, work and interaction with the world depends on internal choices. The interaction of your habits, attitudes, thoughts, feelings and beliefs create your experience of life. Creating coherence allows you to choose how you respond to life with greater resilience, harmony and balance.

“Coherence is a state of order or harmony where things hold together and form a unified whole. Non-coherence is defined by chaos. A higher state of coherence is always preceded by chaos. In chaos theory, the new coherent pattern is present, and ready to emerge.”~Chloe Faith Wordsworth, Quantum Change Made Easy

Identifying Chaos Within

The Chinese Five Element and Meridian System is one of the many healing disciplines in Resonance Repatterning® sessions that illustrates how the aspects of chaos or disorder can transform your entire system by working directly where energy is disrupted or blocked. Each element has an aspect of Yin or receptive, and Yang or assertive aspect. This relationship requires harmony and balance between partners. If there is disorder, this particular element and organ system will not function optimally.

In addition, each element relies on the rest of the Five Element and Meridian System for nourishing and tempering aspects to create overall order and harmony in your body-mind system. Coherence depends on communication and work with the rest of the elements and meridians. This means that when Resonance Repatterning sessions identify a particular location, time and level of disorder or chaos in the system and updates the function to greater coherence, the entire body-mind system benefits.

As an example, Water Element is related to your kidneys and bladder. On the physical level, the relationship between these two organs illustrate how the process within an element functions. The Yin organ, Kidney, holds and cultivates chi while detoxifying your body. The Yang organ, bladder, then expels these toxins from the body. Creating coherence between this pair allows for greater coherence or vital energy for your entire body-mind system. Kidneys store ancestral energy, and also delivers and interacts directly with your brain, lungs, liver, spleen and heart. In fact, each element is present in the energy flows of all of the meridians with the body-mind system.

Out of Chaos Comes Order

On the emotional level, Water Element coherence also contributes to your feeling like you can go with the flow of life. When there is a disruption or blockage of energy, you might experience non-coherent feelings of resentment or victimization by relationships and situations surrounding you. Creating order allows you to resonate with greater adaptability, healthy boundaries, courage, and perseverance with the ability to pace yourself as you go.

Kidney’s Impact on System (Water)	Coherent Function	Impact on Non-Coherent Function Issues
Brain (Systemic)	Kidney Qi (Chi) or vital essence	Dementia, Parkinson’s, eczema, issues with focus, memory issues, negative emotions
Lungs (Metal)	Kidney is root of the Lungs, helps with coordination of respiration http://www.shen-nong.com/eng/principles/affectlungs.html	Pneumonia, allergies, asthma, grief, lack of inspiration
Liver (Wood)	Detoxification, stores blood, metabolism, digestion of fat, process nutrients absorbed from small intestine	Liver blood deficient insomnia, hot flashes, Yin Deficiency, anger, frustration, feeling hopeless
Spleen (Earth)	Purifies blood	Immune function issues, issues with feeling unsupported, unable to handle transitions
Heart (Fire)	Harmonizes heart function http://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/heart-and-kidney-connection	Blood pressure issues, rhythm of heart, pace, lack of joy, tolerance, or safe connection with others

Creating Systemic Coherence

Let’s take a look at how the relationship between Metal Element and Water Element interact. The season of fall corresponds with Metal Element. The season of winter corresponds with Water Element. Creating nourishing coherence between these two elements benefits your physical, emotional, mental and core essence experiences. Metal Element depends on the function of your lungs and large intestines. This means that inspiration with the ability to let go of physical and emotional toxins is vital to the coherence of this element. Congested energy can show up physically in your body as a cold, flu or breathing difficulties. It can also show up in feelings, thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs that hold you in survival mode. This can lead to exhaustion and depression over time.

However, resonating with your value and life purpose through resolution of memory imprints from the past can lead you to greater coherence so you can be more in the present, in the flow of life where Water Element’s coherent gifts benefit your health, resilience and vitality through the fall, winter and your life.

It is important to note that Fire Element related to the heart has a tempering coherent effect on Metal Element. Adding joy, connection, discernment, safety, and trust to your life journey goes a long way to creating greater harmony and balance. This creates an update in specific and systemic coherence in the Metal Element Meridian flow.

In working with the coherence muscle-checking system in Resonance Repatterning sessions, it is possible to identify where chaos, congestion, or blocked energy is located in your body-mind system. Through harmonizing and balancing to create greater order systemically, sessions build greater coherence overall. This means that where your vital life energy is depleted or feels in chaos, sessions get to the heart of what you need to experience positive, sustainable, and tangible change. This happens as you re-pattern your life to experience greater integrity in your wellness and well-being.

Spring Brings the Seeds of New Possibilities

Watching spring begin is an amazing experience. Where there were no blossoms a week ago, suddenly trees are filled with them. It seems miraculous that longer daylight, warmth, and rain can bring on such abundance after several months of cold, ice, and darkness. Yet, the cycles of nature have a way of reminding us of the necessary journey of rest that leads to renewal. When spring arrives, you are energized by the seeds of new possibilities.

Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed… Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders. ~Henry David Thoreau

Spring is the season of seeds and planting new possibilities. If you are a gardener, you are likely clearing the beds of old brush to see what plants are coming up while also sowing seeds for new growth. These seeds have been dormant for a season, and are now ready to respond to the nourishment of soil, sunlight, warmth, and rain. With patience and perseverance, they have all the information they need to grow based on the patterns of their DNA. A tomato seed creates a tomato plant. A nasturtium seed produces nasturtium flowers.

Into the Light: New Beginnings

During the season of spring, you notice wildlife is especially active and focused on building nests, mating rituals, and food retrieval. You might have had the experience of dodging or swerving your car on the road while trying to avoid robins chasing or flying after each other across the road. There is restlessness and excitement to meet survival needs, even at the expense of danger signs.

In the same way, the energy of spring can bring a sense of restlessness and excitement to your own life with a kind of “Spring Fever”.

According to scientific research reported in Scientific American, spring creates changes in your body-mind system with:

• A decrease in melatonin production leads to changes in sleep cycles and hormones a need for less sleep and more positive mood changes with the transition into longer daylight hours
• New colors, scents, and smells stimulate the production of the neurotransmitter dopamine energizes trying new experiences, a sense of excitement, and feeling more motivated to take action
• Activation of endorphins allows you to feel a greater sense of pleasure, joy, and less pain. You experience greater energy and happiness with the activation of endorphins.
• Increased Vitamin D3 with increased skin exposure to the sun benefits the health of your bones and teeth, immune system, brain, and nervous system. Vitamin D benefits the regulation of insulin levels, as well as lung and cardiovascular health
• Greater activation of the neurotransmitter serotonin leads to a sense of satiety, calmness, flexibility, and emotional calm
• Change in eating habits with more foods selections based on the availability of fruits and vegetables, lighter fare, and choices with more vitamins and protein
• Increased energy that leads to greater activity levels

It is good to have all of these benefits with the transition into spring, however, losing your sense of presence or grounding can lead to a sense of disorientation and frustration that compromises your positive intentions for your wellness and well-being.

I’ve noticed when planting seeds in the garden that wildlife also continues to plant seeds from the feeders to dig up later even though it’s spring! They have a plan for tough times. Some of these seeds will be eaten, while others will be left to germinate in the soil, the sun and rain to become flowers or stalks of corn over time.

In the same way, nourishing and seeding inner awareness of what you are feeling, thinking, and experiencing right now in your life can be a useful starting point for digesting or creating something new. If, for example, you experience a reaction to a situation, comment, or event that digs up material from the past, this can create seeds for revelations that can feed your need for planting new awareness and growth, or discernment for letting go.

It can be an invitation to sit down with your life to observe what is showing up within your emotional or survival seed or food bank.

Feed the Bloom of New Possibility

• Create Compassionate Time with Yourself: This can happen with meditation or setting aside time for your physical and emotional needs daily by putting time on the calendar for tuning into your inner voice and needs.

• Take a Few Seconds to Check In With Yourself: I recently watched a chef online build this into his strategy while cooking. He literally took a few seconds in the process of baking when he was mixing the wet ingredients for a pastry, to ask himself, “ Have I forgotten anything?” “Do I need anything else here?” Building in checkpoints in your work, errands, exercise, etc. as part of your process can stabilize and harmonize your awareness of what you are doing in a grounding way.
• Spend Time in the Sunlight: This will allow you to take more light into your brain to enhance your vision. movement, breath, posture, and energy while literally shedding light into your memory bank.
• Take Inventory of What Brings Gratitude to Your Life to Plant You More in the Present: This is especially helpful when you are confused or frustrated. By shifting your attention, you change how your body responds to the situation, and which neurotransmitters you feed.
• Observe Nature: Science is proving that spending time observing nature and all of its wonders create greater well-being and health while also building a sense of compassionate connection to life and others. Spring is the optimal time to nourish your physical vision, as well as your vision for life.

• Use Herbal Teas to Balance Spring Allergies: Drink Rooibos, nettle, lemon balm, peppermint, honey, and lemon or ginger tea to nourish your system.

• Eat Nourishing Spring Foods: Eat seeds and light-colored greens like asparagus and bitter leafy greens. They are especially good for cleansing including dandelion greens, arugula, radicchio, mustard greens, and spinach. Traditional Chinese Medicine recommends foods rich in chlorophyll to support your liver function, especially during spring. Eat radishes to move Liver Qi. Eat sour citrus fruits to cut fat stored in the winter, and to promote the movement of Qi throughout your body. The fibers in citrus fruits also serve as a wonderful pre-biotic for your digestion. If you eat meat, chicken can be a good match with your vegetables at this time of year.
• Use Color for Nurture in your Food Choices:
  http://www.windowstotheheart.net/the-nurture-of-color-for-your-wellness-and-well-being/

• Find Reasons to Smile and Laugh: Smiling actually relaxes your brain and encourages greater optimism for life. Laughter decreases stress hormones, and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies which improves disease resistance.
• Create time for Planning and Creating New Possibilities: As new growth is happening all around you, take time to focus, clarify and prioritize steps and resources for your goals. Break things down into small sizable steps with built-in success. Some things might need to be done right now, other things might need to be let go, and other things might need more time to grow. Pace yourself:
  http://www.windowstotheheart.net/its-about-pacing-yourself-over-time/
• Keep a journal next to your bed or make a daily or weekly practice of nurturing through writing, drawing, recording, or moving your insights and inspirations. You can write down questions, express your frustration, and plan the next steps all while being curious. Doodle, write, or create poetry to nourish the answers or insights as you go. By doing so you connect to the deeper wisdom within your body-mind system in your process of creating new possibilities in your life!

Spring is a wonderful time to work with seeding new possibilities in your life. This is the time of year to really fine-tune your vision of life by clearing material that has kept you from seeing more clearly where you’d like to go with your positive intentions for life.

This is your personal invitation to access the information within your body-mind system to restore and enhance your life energy for your goals in life. Resonance Repatterning® allows you to let go of what is no longer working for you, and to nourish what will allow you to move forward to create greater integrity for your wellness and well-being.

Schedule a personal Resonance Repatterning session to experience a tangible and sustainable change in your life by phone, Skype, or in-person with Kimberly Rex, MS here.

4 Stages of Disease: The Interaction between Your Kidneys, Liver and Heart

4 Stages of Disease Leading to Chronic Illness 

Chinese Traditional Medicine TCM looks at the pathway of disease from the perspective of the relationship between organ and meridian systems. The heart is the emperor of the body-mind system, however, in order to begin the healing process, the heart must connect with kidney. When there is a disorder of stagnation in the kidney your liver is affected. When your liver is negatively affected this impacts your heart.  This starts with distortions in how you think related to what you believe and see in life. This, then, can lead to both emotional and physical imbalance.

When there have been long-standing issues with unresolved emotions and perception of victimization or overwhelm over time, dis-ease becomes more likely a possibility. This happens through 1) Shen Stagnation 2) Chi Stagnation 3) Blood Stagnation and resulting 4) Body Stagnation.

The interaction and relationship between your organ systems impact the integrity of your wellness and well-being. 

From the Kidney’s Perspective

The kidney relates directly to the reptilian brain function. This means that survival, fear, and overwhelm in your current life get translated into how the energy in your body-mind system is communicated throughout your body. Kidney stores short-term memory. The impact of the relationship to the reptilian brain can make it difficult to discern what is a current danger or a residual thought, belief, or attitude about a stressful event or situation from the past. The reptilian brain‘s job is to search for anything that reminds it of previous danger, and then to take action through the fight, flight, or freeze.

In practical terms on a day-to-day basis, this affects how your Nervous System responds to perceived danger and threats. It impacts your Adrenalin response, blood pressure, hormones, cortisol, and sleep cycles. This impacts your ability to retain information accurately in the present. It affects the amount and quality of life energy or vitality you have, your ability to remember important information, and your ability to hear things clearly.

More on Health Implications between Kidney, Adrenal, Excretory and Circulation Impacts

From the Liver’s Perspective

In Chinese Medicine, Liver stores emotion. The liver is related to the Limbic or Emotional Brain. When liver is distorted by anger and frustration is repressed over time, it impacts the way you perceive the world through your thinking and seeing. The ability to modulate your emotional responses to your external environment has an effect on your internal response to challenges.

The liver filters blood and this in turn affects your chi or energy level. When the liver is out of balance, it limits your vision and your ability to see from the perspective of another person. It keeps you from considering that there might be another alternative or possibility. Your decision-making process becomes clouded, and your body-mind system’s ability to prioritize thought and action becomes less clear.

More on Liver’s Impact on Health and Well-being

From the Heart’s Perspective

Heart is the home of the Shen Spirit related to the capacity for compassion, forgiveness, gratitude, tolerance, joy and love. It is primarily related to your reasoning and decision-making Cortex. There are 5 functional responsibilities for the heart including consciousness, thinking, imagination and planning, the ability to modulate emotions and long-term memory according to TCM. Because of these functions, it is important to engage all three places: the kidney, the liver and the heart in order to heal internal conflict and dissonance related to your mental, emotional, physical and spirit.

This is your personal invitation to working with creating greater harmony and balance in your life. As we move into Winter, Water Element related to Kidney and Bladder are the prominent organs that express information for special needs and care. There is much to be acknowledged on the health benefits of starting with the kidneys to inform and play a healing role in transforming the rest of the body-mind system through focusing on nourishing the transformation of your Reptilian Brain’s reaction to trauma from the past and to balance your need for giving and receiving in a loving way within your body, your mind, your relationships and in the world.

Build integrity in your wellness and well-being for the winter months by taking part in a personal Resonance Repatterning® session that works with this purpose to create greater harmony and balance for your kidneys and bladder’s impact on your ability to build life energy to heal the past so you can be more energized and able to go with the flow of life, set boundaries, increase resilience through the winter months.

Here is an opportunity to continue on the path to building integrity in your wellness and well-being with monthly healing modalities and repatterning events from Windows to the Heart Repatterning.

Anger as an Invitation to Resolve the Past and Unmet Needs in the Present

When you experience frustration or anger, it is a signal that something underneath is needing to be heard. An underlying unmet need that might need acknowledging or voicing is attempting to get through to you as an invitation to resolve the past.

Anger and fear often work hand in hand. The Chinese Five Element Meridian System asks you to balance and harmonize the organs related to clearing stored toxins, particularly in your liver. Your anger also affects your vision and how you see the world. Your perceived vision of what is happening around you and within you affects how you respond or react to life.

Anger as a Signal from the Past

Anger can be the messenger for something speaking from the past you wish had resolved differently. By holding onto the emotional frequency of this wish, you literally keep yourself from ever getting the need met in the present with the life you have created as an adult.

Many times an earlier experience in childhood needs tending. The anger and frustration about what you wanted instead from a parent or guardian, can keep you from parenting yourself.

The layers of disappointment, misunderstanding, or the inability to express your need may be the very thing that continues to cloud how you are seeing the world.

For example, let’s say that one of your life needs from the past was, and still is, “I am cared for.” Many times abuse, misunderstanding, lack of conflict resolution or trauma colors the lens by which you continue to see your personal world due to the resonance with a parent or caregiver who did not protect you, hug you, play with you, listen to you, or instead ignored you.

With that said, it also allows you to then move towards acceptance in a new way. This new way creates humility in the present rather than internal conflict through still fighting with the past arrogantly (as if you could change it and get a different outcome). When you let go of this fantasy, you free up some inner “emotional real estate” to create new space for finding ways to meet your underlying needs in your life today.

Using Anger to Create New Possibility in the Present

It’s important to see that your need in the past was important. Regretting that your need was not met allows you to name the need, while you go beneath the anger to a place of grieving so that you can then start to author the underlying need for care in your life now.

When you move into a space of understanding that your need is also valid, it can become a possibility for it to be met with positive action.   You can create new possibilities for getting your need heard and met in the present in your relationships, interactions, through observation and self-care.

Looking for ways to activate this awareness in your life with unconditional love for yourself and others opens the doorway to realizing what you can and cannot change. This empowers you to experience a greater sense of balance and strength knowing that you have the capacity to take care of yourself today.

Clearing the Lens of Anger

Awareness in the present is an invitation to notice, see and observe. Use your vision to look at life through the lens of the inner need. Identify where this need is not being met. Look at ways you can move into meeting this need for yourself, or where your relationships are reflecting back your instruction for next steps.

“The knowledge of the past stays with us. To let go is to
release the images and emotions, the grudges and fears, the
clingings and disappointments of the past that bind our
spirit.” ~Jack Kornfield

It’s an Inside Job

How would you be able to change this in your world today so that this need might be met in a way that is meaningful to you?

Ask yourself the following:

1) “Can I get this need met by creating more self-care in my daily life?” This could include eating whole foods, getting into nature, getting a good night’s rest, or building a practice of meditation, or to notice more where you have been cared for in unexpected or until now unseen ways.

2) “Where can I get this need met with others?” “Where am I not receiving this from others?” Notice how the pattern from the past plays out in your selection of relationships. Are you continuing to try to get the need met in a similar scenario where it is near to impossible to get that need met?

3) Do I resonate with receiving what is beneficial for me, and resonating with ” I am enough”and being worthy of care?

4) Do I push care away, or choose relationships that only go so far before dissolving? Notice what frustration comes up at particular times in your relationship, and how these feelings are similar to how you felt in situations from your past.

“Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need.” ~Marshall Rosenberg

5) Notice where you blame, judge or dislike others that triggers and keeps your anger going.

It’s About Having More Choice

We all get angry. We all get upset. Begin to notice where and when you find yourself spiraling down into anger. It is a pivotal choice-making invitation. You can continue to react in old patterns that increase stress levels or use anger as an opportunity to move into new emotional territory. Take a pause, and give yourself some time with your feelings underneath.  Through mindfulness, you can begin by looking at your choices in what you are creating with your life energy. You can begin to choose what is more loving and supportive of your life. This becomes a vital force in creating positive change. By doing so, you plant new seeds for growth and nurture.

    Detoxification of the body-mind system is more than just physical. If you have ever done a detox, you realize that emotions come up like anger, frustration, grief, tears, etc. stored in your organs. Healing both your liver (anger) and kidneys (fear) are essential for experiencing new possibilities towards getting your needs met in a more productive way.

Resonance Repatterning® sessions build the bridge within your body-mind system so you can experience wellness and well-being by creating more harmony and balance where you need it specifically.  Personal Repattern Your Life© sessions with Kimberly Rex, MS sessions are a great opportunity to detox holistically so that you have greater choice for dedicating your life energy to your positive intentions. To register for a session, register with this link: https://www.windowstotheheart.net/sessions/
