KNOW KEN'S PRESCRIPTION FOR HEALING BODY-MIND SPLIT?

 ANNIE, I'M EMBEDDING MYSELF.  Nice to hear you’re smiling…today   YES, YOU MADE ME SMILE!!  I feel teary and probably need to do some discharging. I'M DAYS LATE READNG YOUR THOUGHTFUL AND HEART-OPEN MESSAGE- I HOPE YOU PERHAPS DID DISCHARGE!!  FEELING TEARY IS CERTAINLY IS A SIGN OUR MINDS NEED EMOTIONAL RELEASE.  OUR BRAINS DO KNOW WHAT OUR MINDS NEED!!!  

I can’t say I remember hearing Ken talk about that but I get the feeling that this would definitely be something he would endorse.  WANT ME TO SEND SOME PASSAGES TO YOU?  

As I was reading yours comments I started to wonder about what happens when we get those surges of subtle energies, like during meditation or a healing service of some kind.  ANNIE, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR EXPERIENCING OF THESE "SUBTLE ENERGIES?"

 What do you think it means when the whole body cannot contain the energy that is being built up, I was thinking that this is a blockage -YOU ARE SO SO SO CORRECT, ANNIE.  

if we feel the strain then something must be blocking it right? I WOULD SAY YOU ARE ABSOLUTELTY CORRECT.  CLUES TO EMOTIONAL SUPPRESSION INCLUDE SUDDEN TENSING OF MUSCLES, FOR EXAMPLE, ESP. IN THE FACE AND THROAT AND, OF COURSE, HOLDING OF THE BREATH.     HERE IS SOMETHING KEN WROTE: THE BLOCK (ME - MIND-BODY BLOCK)  IS RELEASED WHEN FEELING-ATTENTION CAN FLOW THROUGH THAT AREA IN A FULL AND PERFECTLY UNOBSTRUCTED FASHION ON ITS WAY TO INFINITY...  Ironically, just today I was telling a friend that when you're discharging with no inhibition, no "obstruction," it can feel as though a river of nothing is flowing through your mind.  I've only had this happen a couple of times but once when it did, perhaps I reported this already, I suddenly thought out of the blue, "My God, maybe reincarnation is real."  I had the "feeling" that all I needed to do was hold onto the flowing experience and...something would emerge.  HORRORS!  I immediately terminated my concentration.  For some reason, that sensation of nothing flowing through my mind brought that thought. I doubt that I can pursue this further easily unless I do so with someone who has at least a tentative belief in reincarnation and total respect for emotional discharge.  Hard to find someone meeting those two criteria!!! 

KEN:  BUT REMEMBER, THESE TENSION BLOCKS WERE SERVING A MOST SIGNIFICANT FUNCTION - THEY WERE INITIALLY INTRODUCED TO CHOKE OF FEELINGS AND IMPULSES THAT AT ONE TIME SEEMED DANGEROUS, TABOO, OR UNACCEPTABLE.  ...THUS, IF THESE BLOCKS ARE TO BE PERMANENTLY DISSOLVED, YOU WILL HAVE TO OPEN YOURSELF TO THE EMOTIONS WHICH LIE BURIED BENEATH THE MUSCULAR CRAMP...THEY USUALLY INVOLVE A RELEASE OF TEARS, A GOOD SCREAM OR TWO, ABILITY FOR UNINHIBITED ORGASM, A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED TEMPER TANTRUM, OR A TEMPORARY BUT ENRAGED ATTACK UPON PILLOWS SET UP FOR THAT PURPOSE.

(ME - I DON'T THINK KEN WOULD SAY THAT EMOTIONAL DISCHARGE PRACTICE IS ONE PATH FOR EXPLORING THE NATURE OF REALITY AND CONSCIOUSNESS.  FRom what Ken writes I can tell he's not experienced intentionally prolonged emotional discharge, but he has experienced the relief, both psychological and physical, that Emo-dis can generate.  WHETHER OR NOT HE'S RELIVED REPRESSED PAST EXPERIENCES, HAD SUDDEN INSIGHTS FOLLOWING EMOTIONAL DISCHARGE, OR ENJOYED AND BEEN ASTONISHED BY SOME OF THE  PHENOMENA THAT EMOTIONAL DISCHARGE CAN PRODUCE, I DON'T KNOW

Do you think that if a body moves uncontrollably that this indicates emotions that block the release?  ANNIE, TELL ME WHAT YOU MEAN BY BODY MOVING UNCONTROLLABLY.  A DESIRE TO SUDDENLY CHANGE POSITION OR USE THE LIMBS IN GESTURES, ETC., FOR THOSE PRACTICING EMOTIONAL DISCHARGE, IS A GOOD SIGN THAT THE FIRST LINK IN A CHAIN OF THOUGHT/EMOTION/MEMORY IS AVAILABLE, IF THIS IS WHAT YOU MEAN.  THE TECHNIQUE IS TO IMMEDIATELY ACT ON THE IMPULSE WHETHER IT'S TO LIE DOWN OR STAND UP OR JUMP AROUND OR SWING THE ARMS OR KICK OR WHATEVER...AND TO REPORT ALL PHYSICAL SENSATIONS AND THOUGHTS/FEELINGS THAT ARISE,  AND THE MOMENT EMOTION REARS ITS BLESSED HEAD, TO FOCUS ATTENTION ON THE SENSATIONS OF THE BODY AND THE SENSATION OF THE EMOTION AND ALLOW THE EMOTION TO FLOW. WHEN IT DOES WE USUALLY CRY, LAUGH, SHAKE, AND/OR YAWN LOTS.  Is this useful information?

I have always thought that the only subtle energies that one may feel are those that are being stymied to some degree, do you agree with this?  THAT IS A VERY INTERESTING THOUGHT!  I WOULD BET A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD DISAGREE WITH YOU AND I HAPPEN TO THINK THAT YOU ARE MOST LIKELY RIGHT.   OF COURSE, I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY "SUBTLE ENERGIES" BUT I DO KNOW WHAT WE CAN "SENSE" SUBTLE EMOTIONS AND BY FOCUSING ON THE "SENSATION" WE CAN ALLOW THEM TO FLOWER INTO INTENSE EMOTIONS....AH...THE WONDER OF IT ALL, THEN!

ANNIE, I HOPE I DIDN'T WRITE TOO MUCH.  NO HURRY RESPONDING.  I'M VERY INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU THINK, ETC.., AND IN YOUR EXPERIENCES.   I'M ALWAYS WAY EAGER TO HEAR EVERYONE'S PERSPECTIVES...AND THAT INCLUDES, GUESS WHO'S.  HAHA.
