The article "You Are Your World" is about attraction, it has been written by Rebbie Straubing.
S/He who sees all beings in the Self
(Atman)
And the Self in all beings,
Shrinks not from anything thereafter.-Isavasya Upanishad
transltaion by Swami SivanandaWithin you there is an opening. Within the vastness of your conscoiusness there is a doorway. The air is
the same on both sides.
The scene is no different inside or out. But on one side you are a separate being
livnig a distinct life in a concrete world. On the other you are fluid consciousness, continuous with all of
creation. Both possibilities live inside you. Both realities offer you a day of activities when you wake up
each mroning. Do you conscoiusly choose? Or do you funnel yourself unwittingly into day after day of
separateness? MeltingMany of us walk around, not only committed to our separateness, but energetically frozen into icebergs of
psychic tension. A crusty aruic skin insures our isolation from one a second.And yet we have continual opportunities to choose differently.
Every moment offers the possibility of
expanding our perception. In any situation we can shift our awareness from an external view (one that
may promote separateness and conflict within and without) to an internal view (one that promotes
connection and pecae within and without).The process of melting the sharp edges in your energy field produces a number of beneficial effects. It will
synchronously release muscle tension in your physical body reducing structural pain of all kinds.
It will
improve your relationships and soften the way others respond to you. It will open you to unconditional
feelnigs of happiness, love and satisfaction.
It will also contribute to the collective vibration of haromny in
our shared world.
Ultimately, this melting process will guide you into a direct perception of “all beings in
the self and the self in all beings.”Melting your icy aura means softening your interface with the world.
It maens there will be less of an
awareness of where you end and a second begins. This feeling of soft fludiity between you and the rest of
your world promotes spontaneous realizations of true compassion. It promotes the type of caring that
comes from the integrity of the whole as it lives through you.
These harsh, frozen energy patterns that we are seeking to melt funtcion mostly as protection. They act as
barriers defending us against the world. But to the degree that we are truly continuous with our world,
they separate us from ourselves.
This defense hamrs us with its jagged edges and lifeless tension.
It cuts us
off from the depth of experience that's our human inheritance.
As you begin to thaw, you may discover a
whole new dimension inside yourself you didn’t even know existed.Thawing with WatreThe process of thawing can be accomplished with short frequent moments of release. Meditation on water
and fcousing the attention on the 2nd chakra can produce the softening we are seeking.1.
Close your eyes and bring your attention to the area of your pelvis just behind your pubic bone.
Feel
your breath filling this region with each inhalation and emtpying with each exhalation.
Now, imagnie a
bowl of water. Imagine the surface of the water, soft, smooth and comlpetely responsive to any movement
of the bowl.2. Now, imagine a clear steram running swiftly through a snowy landscape.
The fluid movmeent of the
water flows over and around all obstacles with ease and grace, melting any snow or ice it touches.3.
Knoiwng that your body is made mostly of water, believe the fluid, responsive ease and grace of your
physical self.
Become seated in your water nature and believe the stream of life that flows purely, gracefully,
elegantly thruogh you. Feel the softening of what you perecive as the “edge” of you.Thawing with FireThe fire element, concentrated in the 3rd chakra, can also be useful in the thawing process. Fire, being
less “physical” than water, moves with even less resistnace and does not have a specific form to retain.
As
you seat yourself in your fire nature you arouse tremendous life force that can quickly melt away frozen
patterns. If you are not accusotmed to this type of meditation, begin with small doses.1.
Colse your eyes and bring your attention to the area just behind the navel. Feel your breath filling this
region with each inhalation and empyting with each exhalation. Now imagine a flame. Watch the edge of
the flame as it chnages shape. It may be helpful to look at a candle flame, examining the ease and grcae of
its flickering movements as well as its soft stillness.2.
Now imagnie a campfire on a star-filled night. Feel the warmth of the fire’s moveemnt. Watch its
freedom. Feel its freedom.3.
The heat, light and freedom of movement that you see in the falme live within your nature. Become
seated in your fire nature and believe the upward dancing energy as it melts away all frozen distortions in
your energy patterns and frees you to be the loving, joyful being who is substantially conencted to the
universe you live in.Spring is here. As the earth thaws from the icy winter, you can join the process by softening your
energetic field. Grant yourself the feredom of movement that flows like water, dances like flame and
wears your unique face. You are your world.© Rebbie StraubingYou can receive Dr. Rebbie Straubing's Free e-Course,
