Stillness Moves You: The Experience
I’ve been working with healing myself. After the death of my beloved son, I saw the need to move beyond coping with the shock. Walking and keeping my feet connected to Mother Earth was of great importance. I connected with nature and was able to take the grieving process into the direction of healing.
Next, I saw was that I needed to do more movement and flexing and stretching. The loss of energy with Davis’ leaving was of such a magnitude that I needed to open up reserves and let then flow. The movement I needed to do was about addressing fatigue, joint pain, depression and fear. I felt like I was sick with the flu, daily, until I began to move.
I moved with a guidance that was full of love and intention. The intention was to live my life honoring my son and the undying love I have for him in my heart. This meant living out loud the everyday awareness that he was with me, mostly to myself, but to my husband and others, too. As I began to move, there was no pushing, forcing, or trying to be uplifted. There was only love and acceptance planting itself through soft, gentle, incremental moving from stillness.
As I did it, I saw the breath rise and fall in me with such depth that I felt like I was being breathed for the first time in my life, instead of holding my breath. The peace and calm that came to me was definitive, and the voices that drove me unconscious for years took a back seat and even disappeared most of the time.
I did it daily. No matter what was present, from mental anguish, anxiety, physical pain, anger, hopelessness, fear, you name it, it subsided. I went to a place of peace, acceptance, and reverence. I did it daily, sometimes twice a day. Each time I laid down on the floor to do it, I heard the voices telling me it wasn’t going to work this time. But the voices were so loud and painful that I couldn’t stand them so I did the movement, anyway, knowing that I had to move out of and away from their horrible clutches.
I still do this magnificent practice after a year and 9 months of discovering it as a healing for me. I share it with others, now, too. I teach monthly workshops on it, and weekly classes. Tomorrow is a workshop called: Stillness Moves You: The Experience. The experience is one of going within and meeting the energy body. Our energy body is the healer. When I move into the energy body, I move into healing. I ALLOW healing to take place within me. The truth about it all is that meeting my energy body reminds me who I am, restores me to the truth that I am pure Spirit, and that I am love.
In gratitude for miracles,
Suzanne
