Remembered Presence
REMEMBERED PRESENCE. The Nectar. We all walk around “acting normal” while endless layers of emotion and experience lay stuffed, knotted, bubbling up, or tucked away for later somewhere in our beings. Sometimes these pieces even get hurled out of our energy field as far as we can fling them - forgotten about and disowned in the ethers.
Sometimes they get constricted with so much pressure they sit like a sharp jagged crystal in the center of our stomach, or underneath a shoulder blade. Every earth-based culture has a Shamanic practice of dismemberment, and then, Re-membering.
The act of gathering up all of these pieces of yourself and allowing them to live in peace in each and every one of your cells in present moment time is what we call “healing”.
“Healing” is actually the complex dance of reclaiming and integrating all of the experiences - all of the joys and the sufferings - all of the unwitnessed parts of our beings; and this extends beyond lifetimes into ancestral lineages that we carry deep in our bones where our blood is born. It also lives in soul imprints that many have found to be beyond straightforward blood lineage.
This complex process of reclamation and re-integration can get really skewed and muddy. In the 80’s, when talk therapy hit its apex, we were actually grinding these samskaras ever more deeply into our beings by repeating the stories and reliving the pain over and over again. The desire to “understand” can be deeply detrimental.
What science shows us now about the nature of reclaiming our authentic selves is that the story of the original trauma need only be repeated enough so that the anatomy of the root cause of suffering can be recognized, accepted and understood.
Once it is understood, release is possible, and the story must be released, and it must be rewritten in the form of reclamation of a deeper level of love and presence within the self. This is how Depth Hypnosis works. It ripples through the subconscious mind where old stories can be uprooted and composted, and new ones can thrive in your fertile soul.
And, over time in this process as we shed stories, we learn that present emotions need not have a story in order to arise, receive full witness, and be released. Emotions need only acknowledgement, acceptance and love in the present moment in order to flow through our divine instruments and transform us into the more deeply compassionate connected beings we are.
This is why I’m integrating the Living Waters energy healing modality into my Depth Hypnosis sessions. It works on the subtle layers and is a powerful expression of Tantra: a way of embodying that is intuitive, authentic and guided by your connection to the ever present river of love that flows through all things. The whole universe is here to support your reclamation, your healing, your release, your love, your acceptance.
Your consciousness is designed for it to be far far easier than you think. It’s not about wallowing in the pain. It’s about letting the pain express and be transformed in the gaze of love. It’s about having a healing session - which is invariably a peak experience, and then holding it and anchoring it in a daily practice. As you awaken your being to the fullness of your experience of life you will begin to find pleasure in many unexpected places - in the mundane parts of living and even in the pain. This is the sacredness of living.
This is the nectar : remembered presence.
It’s about you reclaiming your fullness, your birthright to the Tantric experience of life.
