from his collection of poetry Call Me by my True Names
Breathing in, I see myself as a flower. I am the freshness of a dewdrop. Breathing out, my eyes have become flowers. Please look at me. I am looking with the eyes of love.
Breathing in, I am a mountain, imperturbable, still, alive, vigorous. Breathing out, I feel solid. The waves of emotion can never carry me away.
Breathing in, I am still water. I reflect the sky faithfully. Look, I have a full moon within my heart, the refreshing moon of the bodhisattva. Breathing out, I offer the perfect reflection of my mirror-mind.
Breathing in, I have become space without boundaries. I have no plans left. I have no luggage. Breathing out, I am the moon that is sailing through the sky of utmost emptiness. I am freedom.
Moving into my flat? Itβs one month ββ- but seemed so long ago.
We moved and the kids finally have their own rooms and slept on their own
And I finally have mine – after 12 years
Itβs a unit you can wake up with the rising sun and fall into sleep under moonlight .
Welcoming sunrise and itβs spectacular display and the glow of the moon at night.
Thereβs something magical about this.
It sort of closes in on the gap between man and nature or the cosmos
It makes you feel one with the cosmos, like you are in it, part of it that makes it whole
It is empowering
Observing this even if they were just minute moments
Very sweet
Itβs where you could see far away into the distant with unblocked views
Then we worked things out
Bf told me about his sessions with a certain Glenn who helped him see how his childhood experiences culminated in his world his views his being today
I m truly glad because he has experienced an opening of sorts and can see better
Bf apologized to Qinzhi and HuaiHao and shared with them how his experiences as a child made him what he is today
HuaiHao couldnβt really take his apology- shortly after hearing from his dad, he asked to go to toilet
Then told me, he wanted to leave because he wanted to give space to his papa
Qinzhi was on the verge of breaking down but managed her emotions
I spoke to her after and she is like, β now you finally know you are wrong ?β
One day we were out walking and a kid on a bicycle fell
Bf went all out to help the kid and even stayed on to ensure he is well
I didnβt even want to see it
I was disgusted totally by his actions and angry
I thought of the time HuaiHao was knocked up into the air by a bicycle or each time HuaiHao fell , he always left HuaiHao and me and left in anger
I was thoroughly enraged seeing that he helped anyone but his son
I was totally thrown into the past seeing this
And I lashed out at him with shaking voice
He kept saying – itβs all in the past, why do you bring it up
He says itβs because I havenβt healed and thatβs why I m triggered
Obviously !
I asked him to shut his trap and just allow me to snap even if itβs at him- those are the emotions that were suppressed at that time
Emotions that wanted to be out but couldnβt because I had to attend to HuaiHao
There was so much anger and hatred in me
I hated that he as a father actually responded by being oblivious to his sonβs plea for help
I was so so mad
The incident was a trigger and had me zoom back to the past and released some deep emotions
Another big episode hit at me too
And that is J
One fine day she texted me saying things like she finally understood what I was saying
I thought it was a conversation we had that inspired her
But then a series of audio messages came on and sent me looking for help for her
Sheβs finally sent to hospital and has been in intensive care
What we figured out was that sheβs had some autoimmune issues and the Covid vaccine sent things up into a mega flux and overthrew the system. And I hear that in the hospital sheβs been calling my name!
all through those days, I find myself in deep shit
First of all a common friend we had who was a reiki teacher picked up that J was picking up my subconscious and feeling my pain
That set me thinking
Was I in pain subconsciously so much that another could pick it up
Well possible
But i felt a lot of fear and uncertainty and confusion
And is this hers or mine?
Obviously maybe some is her because I too was thinking of her and in that way connecting with her
The reiki common friend listened to me and says this is transference – that is, I was triggered by an event on the outside and this resonated with something in me
And I went back to a past
That was a pretty challenging time for me
I find myself gasping for air and feeling indigestion
There was a day I felt so low it feels as if an evil force has overtaken me
I couldnt lift my eyes to speak to others around me naturally. And I was afraid they would see through me
And I just felt that I couldnβt enter into the atmosphere they are in no matter how hard I tried
Then this common reiki friend we called me one day and asked me to go into Jβs consciousness and to motivate her out of her depths
I was fearful first of all
Am I skilled enough to do this? Do I still have the capacity to in my state of less than optimum grounding ?
In the end I did what I could and want to- and wrote a letter for her
In that I was tracing out how we connected- and we did because she believed in me and helped get celebrity Nicholas Tse into the Michelin gala in Macau and supported my initiative to get yongey mingyur Rinpoche to talk about mindful eating on the Michelin guide fb page
We connected when I invited her out to lunch knowing sheβs going to quit
We connected when she brought me to see this common reiki friend after knowing that my daughter has experienced seizures and is need of emotional management
We connected when I saw her lunching with her ex and she would be eating alone while her ex is in phone calls
Even if we did not speak. We connected β-somewhat somehow
That truly is the power of connection and of the mind
Fast forward to now, shortly after sheβs hospitalized her ex came to know of this and would call me everyday to ask for updates and to express his feelings of distraught
So I was in between them
I asked why- and my answer was that a while ago I actually believed I could be their bridge and helped them connect
In fact I had done that
In the phone call at P90 her ex passed the phone to me and I told J her ex said that the best person he had met in his professional career was her
And I said the same thing to her during our lunch
I performed the function of a bridge
And now so I release this intention I had sent out- totally
And now I release !
And I have nothing to do with their lives their futures their pasts anymore
Thank you for the opportunity and trust for having me being involved previously- I learnt a lot!
And this session with J, actually gave me an opportunity to look into my past my fears my experiences and emotions yet again
And really to honour them to be thankful for them
To know – they are actually gone by and can no longer have their grip on me
But the mind βs habitual grasping and looking back is creating all this
I cleared another layer I can say and I m more open and wider
Through this all, I intuitively bathed with crystal salt and essential oils to uplift myself
I trusted my oils
I trusted my self
I did my very best on the awareness front and used whatever blur as a support for mediation and awareness training
I was in between highs and lows
And I reminded myself to be in the present and prayed and chanted mantras
A few texts pieces I saw helped me
Like this
From Native American elder Steven Charleston this morning:
“Go to the Source. Whenever you are anxious or afraid, whenever you are angry or hurt, whenever the world seems like chaos and the task before you long and hard: go to the Source of your faith.
“Within each one of us there is a spiritual center. Like the heart beating within a body, it is the tireless engine of hope that nourishes your soul and gives you the energy to carry on. It has grown over the years, getting stronger every year you have believed. Now it is there for you when you need it.
“Just close your eyes, whisper a prayer, and enter into the silence. Stay there, alert, but calm, open to receiving the renewal and healing you need. Go to the Source. It will not fail you.”
I did tapping to release anxiety
I took lots of long walks and thanked the sun for its light and energy and strength
What was in the past that I havent resolved? I asked?
Itβs habit and negativity and gravity
And the not wanting to let go of it- for believing that I do not deserve it that I should be stopped
I realized I rather had myself in the past and kept myself from embracing possibilities in the unknown
Huaihaoβs not wanting to go to school today had me thinking
He didnβt want school because he didnβt know how to react to his classmates who commented that he was funny at presenting . Nor did he know how to say no to his friends who wanted his book
I spoke to him with much force until I was shaking inside
I didnβt know too- so why did I judge my kid for avoiding too
I couldnβt have done otherwise
And that was a learning lesson for me
As I spoke to HuaiHao and tried to sort things out for him
I sorted it out myself
I told huaihao –
-that if he cannot manage then ask teacher or a higher authority for help
-that we do not have to mind others voices and just go on doing what we are best at, itβs too silly to be stopped by others unfounded comments
-that if others cannot see what we see, it is because they are seeing things from their point of view and are not at the same levels with us
So we will continue to be grounded and to do what we want and what we are best at
I almost cried saying these things
Itβs not for HuaiHao but for me my good self
How many times have I allowed myself to be stopped and to give power to othersβ thoughts and putting others before myself?
How many things have I lowered myself and felt lowly of myself even if I was so good at things I do even if I were the best
That day I asked HuaiHao what is his dream and I told him what is mine
I want to do a Netflix chefs table series on Chinese or simply chefs in the Asian region
I want to see my name in the credit list
I want to interview the chefs by myself
I want to go do stories that touch people to tears and inspire them to change- like how I have myself I
Want to give people the feeling of Hope ββ even if it was a glimmer
I think in doing this, I heal creatively
using my own way using what I have and also inspire others to think about healing or inner work
And thinking about those few days I experienced the mind across spectrum, I know there must be a reason why
And I experienced the power of connection . It was a lesson through and through in connection and how the powerful mind does that in the twinkle of a pure thought
What does it mean to be connected?
Beyond a physical phone call, meeting face to face, connection is so much more
Itβs karmic connections
Itβs that person coming to your mind
Itβs you thinking of another
Feeling another
It stems from the heart and soul nowhere else
To learn this is great privilege and thereβs definitely a reason why I m learning it
I realized too that I have set an intent of bridging 2 J and SH and released this intent I set in a certain point in time
And I saw how my own actions brought inflammatory responses to my keloids
How I made them inflamed
The idea about my level of consciousness creating them came to me
And so, itβs to uplift myself to another state or level because in that level the keloids and cyst would not be there
And all I have to do is to keep doing the new
Taking walks
Practice mindfulness
Eat well
Fast
Live well
Breathe well
Be free
Tap into my EOs for support
Continue to write
Continue to do videos
And so tune in consciously to a higher frequency or vibration
It makes me rethink the times I doubt myself
What would have been me if I havenβt doubted myself that much?
Hell is in the mind and so is heaven
We have the power to steer ourselves to goodness and to access the depths of our souls
We have that power ,
In fact always and especially so when we have clarity or awareness
You are no longer your past. Your past colors you, informs the choices you may make, influences how you will feel, how you will see, but you are no longer your past. You are your now and your future. You are your now and your future and releasing your past requires courage, learning, experience, practice, and none of the above. For courage, practice, learning, experience may be the doorways through which you are able to release elements of your past. They may be the final part of you required to allow the past to release so that a new future can be born.
And this
At this stage of our growth and evolution the incoming energies are working to trigger our personal limitations, old behaviours, and unhealed patterns. This is an uncomfortable process which can leave us feeling exhausted and frustrated as the urge to take action and move forward grows. If we learn to welcome in these energies and allow them to anchor within us, we are better able to navigate the triggers and open ourselves up for healing. When we step out of old patterns and let go of limitation, we can claim our power and the energy needed to birth a new reality.
You may still feel stuck between what is known and what is yet to come into form. While in this process it is helpful to focus on the areas in your life that need attention and change. The incoming energies are supporting imagination, creativity, and innovative solutions. As such take a moment to pause in the busyness of your life and tune into the possibilities that can shift you into the new.
The story you tell in any area causes you to experience life as you do. You begin to feel your Power more fully when you commit to looking at where you are thriving rather than merely surviving. Do this very consciously, and you will be fine-tuning your focus as you tell yourself and thus create the story of your life.
And this!
“Feeling Strange Energy or Pain”
From a session with Dr. Peebles, through Summer Bacon, July 28
Q: βHow can we support our bodies during this phase of transition and transformation?β
You can get outside, get some sunshine. Understand that you will feel some interesting pains and vibrations coursing through your body. If you feel such things, just simply allow for it to be. Go with it, and breathe through it. Very much like you would if you were to be β whether you are male or female β if you were to be giving birth, you would be breathing through that experience.
You would realize that thereβs an energy, a force thatβs at work, called a contraction, that is very productive if you allow it to be.
Some of the very difficult troubles with childbirth is the resistance to the contractions, because they hurt. But if you go with it and you allow for it to do its job to pull the baby out, you would find that the contractions donβt last as long.
If you can see these experiences physically, emotionally, and spiritually as being contractions that are bringing you into the 5th Dimension of the understanding of love, then you would just simply take a nice deep breath as it comes in.
Relax, release, surrender. Blow out. And allow for it to just simply pass through you. You can feel it, if you like, going down into the earth through your feet, or you can feel it going up into the heavens. And youβll feel one direction or the other, as to what is right for you.
So itβs a matter of working with these energies.
Of course, if you were to have anything that is really difficult and really painful, God bless you indeed, of course do lots of prayer and ask for assistance. No question about it. Itβs all right to ask for assistance. Itβs not a sign of being weak. Itβs a sign of courage and itβs a sign of knowing and acknowledging that you are worthy of love and attention.
The thing for human beings is that you tend to go into the pain and hold onto it. You say, βI am in pain, it hurts, and Iβm angry, and Iβm tired, and Iβm depressed, and Iβm this and that.β And you own it by saying these words.
You could say, βAh! Interesting, I have some pain here. Letβs see what itβs about.β
It takes courage to do this, to stop, and to really take that moment, when youβre at the office, at work, or whatever it might be. Youβre standing in a grocery store β have the courage to simply close your eyes and breathe deeply, and exhale, and feel it and go with it.
Because it can hit at any time, it really can.
Itβs important to realize that, yes, well, I look a little silly here if Iβm doing this out in public, but how much do you love yourself?
“Forgiveness is one of the most healing expressions that can assist us to reclaim the wholeness of who we are. And yet it can be the most challenging aspect of our evolving.
“Gathering back the pieces, owning our own soul expression, allowing ourselves to truly feel that which our body has held, takes us to the realms of deep empowerment. It’s layered beyond our knowing and yet is as accessible as our breath.
“Are you deeply ready to honour that place within you and nurture those wounded facets of your heart? Listen to that which you repeat, for it is the key to your freedom. Walk in the light of all you are, its time, you so deserve to feel the freedom.
“Loving you into wholeness this and all days, dear one.”
“In this moment, I allow myself to feel the unconditional love and support that surrounds me.”
~Excerpt from Galactic Light Code Monthly, through Wendy Kennedy
As I walked by myself β-with myself, the sea breeze said hello, the sun did too and the birds.
I cannot help but feel proud of myself
For achieving all I have. For letting go of what I have
So I could come to this path
Walking step by step with awareness
I thought of my early experiences, distant experiences and recent experiences. There were sounds, images, emotions coming up.
And I allowed them and liberated them with walking
I remembered the Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh . I remember a meditation he conducted and brought us to the point of inviting our ancestors our tribe to breathe with us w
And I, I just had to invite my ancestors my tribe my family my friends my colleagues and even people who have crossed paths with me in however minute moments whether happy or less happy onesββ to walk with me and to experience the present . And in that healing everything else that is not the present
I checked in with myself and felt lighter afterwards
The point is in awareness
And the intention the power and ability to heal is always there in each and every moment
So long as we will!
I had to say thank you to my husband, because amidst it all, he was the one to encourage me to pick and to do things I really enjoy
I thanked him for his support and the opportunity has given me , by supporting the family β- so I could walk at this time and to do the things that resonated with me
And walking is such a precious experience
I thank myself for the opportunity too, and to the universe and my guardian angels and dharma protectors who have always been with me around me
I want to become a better version of myself and I know I already have and is really for my next professional triumph
And that has come with honoring and acknowledging the experiences I have had with the people who have come my way
To walk each and every step with mindfulness , have the opportunity to free experiences and to experience freedom with no worriesβ- yes I have been tying myself to worry and fear for the longest time β- and walking with myself helped me see that freedom I could have without these all. Too precious!!!
These are some quotes I picked up from the movie. Too much wisdom !
Working with trauma can reveal the beauty of our existence – we have lost sight of
Our job is to learn from our suffering
Thereβs Wisdom in trauma
Traumatic response is our imprint and not ourselves
We can work them through and become ourselves
Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens outside you
Trauma is a disconnection
Because itβs too painful to be ourselves
It becomes a lifelong dynamic when pple donβt know what to do with emotions
When you feel you withdraw
You donβt follow gut feeling
Create situations of risk for ourselves
Affect mid frontal cortex of brain
β affect how we deal with emotions pple
When pain is there as a child, they donβt know who to share with as a child
They disconnect
Children donβt get traumatized when they are hurt
Children get traumatized because They are alone when they are hurt
They are overwhelmed
Babies need fathers and mothers brain to regulate their brains
They need to be held
When baby isnβt being held he is not attached to
They can be attached only physically
They need to be held
Child is desperate for a relationship
For trauma to happen you just need parents who let child cry
Fear of being abandoned
When you do stuff for other pple what are you doing to yourself
(Abandoning me)
You absorb their pain and manifest it
And your family canβt stand you canβt stand seeing it
Child have 2 fundamental needs
-attachment
-authenticity : connection to ourselves to gut feelings
A survival necessity
What happens when you have to suppress gut and authenticity?
Normal Society doesnβt allow anger
Child disconnects fr anger
Helping child love thru anger to modulate anger and confront anger and not to suppress it
Anger does not have to be destructive
Brutal to push down the rage to judge
The depression was a major success not a failure
β not wanting to get out of bed
Having Pain showed you deeper into yourself how you were abandoning yourself
Addiction
β A behavior pple find relief in Eg eating shopping gaming work etc
β Why the pain
β Choice or inherited : When pple r suffering they want to escape thatβs normal
β Huge emptiness inside and Use addiction to complete themselves and cover up using substances
β A response to trauma
β To heal addiction heal the trauma
β Under traumatized persona Thereβs a healthy individual who has never find expression and relationships where authentic humanic could be expressed
Are we conscious and making decision based on full awareness or driven by unconscious dynamics developed as a response to childhood trauma
Then we are not free
Itβs not whatβs wrong with us but what happened to us
Rae Mate
Itβs got to b my job to heal Hitomi bring out that light
I believe that the Purpose of Marriage is to go back to to original trauma which comes fr the family
I married a man who is so much like my father
I have to be me
I have to be authentic
My nervous system is so wired that if I m not authentic to myself I canβt sleep I m anxious
Gabor mate
My scientific address has to do with my trauma
I woke up fairly late in life
The message I got as a child was that the world didnβt want me so what do you do
You make yourself be needed you go to medical school
That was an addiction
Asthma
β suppressed rage so that lungs are
β steroid
Inflamed joint
β steroid
Inflamed intestine
β steroid
β Stress hormones: cortisol
Illness is when part of organism works against what is designed by nature to protect you
Treatment is always to burn it destroy it
But what if we say, itβs here now: what is the teaching? What does it say of my life my relationships and especially how I treat myself?
Psychedelic
Get the conditioned mind out of the way
And look at exactly, deep into yourself
Cancer
Suppress anger
Not having to disappoint others
Check in with your body when you express yourself and do things that deprive yourself of energy
Feels good to feel
This boy just wants to be loved and accepted unconditionally
And he figures out how to be loved and accepted
If u donβt allow your fear to be there
You gonna be always working to get rid of it and you gonna keep working
Or you could say
Ok the fear is there I let it be there
Thereβs a shift
Compassion and enquirer
Truth is inside us we just have to ask the right qns
Shame of negative emotions and that you cannot be weak
We donβt respond to what happens
We respond to our perception of what happened
Itβs with our minds we create world
And we always choose the worst ones
Brain jumps to automatically
It goes back to childhood -First time we are hurt
Trauma – we donβt respond to the present
We respond to the past
So whoβs the one who doesnβt care and respect ourselves ? Itβs me
Thats the beauty of healing
the learning when we reframe things n see source within ourselves thatβs liberating
If u r feeling this way or that because someone did smtg then u r a victim
But if you see the source
You r the source now you r powerful
Under traumatized persona Thereβs a healthy individual who has never find expression in his life
If he sees that he is trauma informed
It is not about healing trauma or getting rid of what happened but helping the person expand so thereβs space
When we are compassion with ourselves it changes ourselves our community and society
Everybody as a true genuine authentic self can never be destroyed
Spiritual work for us both
Healing and still healing in a relationship
Inspiring how heβs changed
We got older
We got freeier and better and better
Dynamic emergent process of confrontation with truth
Trauma involves lifelong pushing down a tremendous expenditure of energy to not feel pain
As we heal that same energy is liberated for life for being in the present
Energy of trauma can be transformed into energy of life
I find these words from the makers of this film so beautiful:
May this little wave that stirred so many ripples through our shared ocean of awareness give us strength to continue on this journey of learning, investigating, and healing trauma in our bodies, in our social structures and in our tender world. May we continue healing, lest we pass it on to the next generations and to mother Earth.
With this film, we hope to make a small step towards creating a more supportive culture where our challenges donβt need to live in the dark, where vulnerability is seen as healthy and encouraged, where physical and mental health are treated equally, because they are one.
We hold the vision of a world that breaks free of the cycles of trauma and becomes more open and inclusive. It all starts with us, truly. It starts when we allow our wounds to teach us about listening, self-love and compassion and to remind us of the preciousness of life. Then truth opens our hearts and our innate wisdom begins to shine through our wounds.
Healing happens in connection, it happens in community.
On the 21st December 2020, we all will be witnessing and experiencing the great conjunctionββ where Saturn and Jupiter meet and form a bright star in the sky.
This cosmic phenomenon is closest to earth in 800 years and signals a time of great transformation
My friend sent me this video and I picked up many wonderful points
Such as
– so be at your highest
– human resonance measuring the heartbeat of the earth
– whatever you feel, you are pulling that future
– we are moving into elevated finer consciousness, ground up, community, less top down, more even distribution of good, 5D
Hearing this sends me into elevated state, one which I so easily leave behind because of the daily chores because freelance work is catching up
I get in touch with that part of me which I myself like so much
If anything , I feel blessed to be hearing this and to experience this conjunction
If anything, I have learnt that our souls have come to earth at this time to have a human experience and to harness the healing and wonderful energy coming out of this great conjunction.
So mad with Huaihao today I didn’t know what to do with myself. But also because I am mad, I came across so many supportive advice. Two of them below:
1) I chanced upon this from The Tapping Solution:
Forgiveness is easy to INTEND to give.
Of course we βshouldβ forgive, but itβs difficult.
Thereβs often a part of us that says, βNo Wayβ I was wronged, and if I forgive them, Iβm condoning the behavior.
And thereβs also perhaps a deeper part, rooted in our ancient brain and biology that finds it hard to forgive because of the fear that if we forgive, itβs going to happen again, weβre going to be hurt again and we wonβt be SAFE.
This is, where I believe, Tapping comes in powerfully because weβre not only addressing the conscious thinking about it, but the deeper subconscious and biological roots.
Soβ¦you can probably think of someone right now that perhaps you want to forgive for what they did. Maybe not 100%, but maybe you want to start.
Can you think of that person?
Good. Get started forgiving them today. Tony Robbins once said, βForgiveness is a gift you give yourselfβ Do it now.
So hereβs a tapping script on: βI refuse to forgive them because of what they did to meβ¦β
First, identify who or what you are having trouble forgiving. Get really specific on what happened, what they said, what they did, how they acted, and bring that memory to mind.
How do you feel when you think of that? Whatβs the emotion? Where do you feel it in your body?
Give it an intensity on a 0-10 scale, 10 being the most intense. (If you can, write down what youβre feeling and the number, it helps to be able to track your progress)
Letβs do some tapping!
(If youβre not familiar with the tapping process, you can learn more here)
Karate Chop: Even though I refuse to forgive them because of what they did to meβ¦I deeply love and accept myselfβ¦ (or you can simply say, βIβm OKβ if love and accepting yourself is too much right now)
Karate Chop: Even though I refuse to forgive them because of what they did to meβ¦I deeply love and accept myselfβ¦
Karate Chop: Even though I refuse to forgive them because of what they did to meβ¦I deeply love and accept myselfβ¦
Eyebrow: I canβt believe they did that
Side of Eye: Iβm so angry
Under Eye: Itβs not right
Under Nose: Itβs not fair
Under Mouth: And I refuse to let it go
Collarbone: All this anger
Under Arm: All this ____ (fill in the blank with how you feel)
Top of Head: In every cell of my body
Eyebrow: I just canβt let this go
Side of Eye: Because they donβt deserve that
Under Eye: They donβt deserve my forgiveness
Under Nose: And I refuse to let it go
Under Mouth: So much anger.
Collarbone: About what happened
Under Arm: About what they did
Top of Head: About what they said
Keep tapping on the βnegativeβ or the βtruth,β until you find that the intensity has lessened enough that you can say some positive statements, and have them feel fully or at least somewhat true. We tap on the βnegativeβ first in order to clear this resistance, not to affirm it, but to open up the door for positive thoughts.
You can also simply tap through the points, as you think specifically about what they did, what they said, what happened.
See the movie in detail, and just keep tapping through the points. Identify other parts of the movie, keep going. You want to be able to think about the event or the person, without heavy resistance coming up.
When youβre ready, when it βfeelsβ right, move on to some positive statements.
Eyebrow: Maybe itβs time to let this go
Side of Eye: I wonder if I can let this go
Under Eye: What if I can let part of this go
Under Nose: Releasing this anger
Under Mouth: From every cell of my body
Collarbone: Letting it go
Under Arm: Letting it all go
Top of Head: Right now
Tap through a couple of rounds of positive statements and feel free to add in your own words or affirmations. These are just guidelines to get you started, whatβs most important is that you feel the feeling, get specific about what you experienced, and tap until itβs released.
When youβre done tapping, take a deep breathβ¦and let it go. Think of what happened again, and notice how itβs changed. Write down your new number of intensity. Either stop tapping if youβre at a good place or keep tapping until fully released.
Moving is an exercise of marie kondoββyou are given the opportunity to decide what to bring along to the next phase of your life, what to let go.
First of all, I let my childhood presents go. The watch and belt I had since I was perhaps 5 or 6? The koala bear that Stanley brother brought for me when he went to Australia for his honeymoon, the tie I wore to Hwa Chong JC, the Mickey Mouse tin box mommy gifted me when she went on a Japan trip with Dad when I was in primary school?
I keep the McDonalds book bundle though , Qinzhi could use it. Is it 30 years old?
I decided to let my holiday diaries and keepsakes go. The first time I did what my heart willed and went to Hokkaido, doing what I really want. The first time I travelled with bf, and all the other travels together to Aussie and etc. I let go of the Disney keepsake.
I decided to let the perfume my husband then boyfriend bought for me go.
And the ribbon that was on the bouquet he gave me on our wedding day.
I decided to let my diaries go.
I decided to let go of the drawings I made
Inner Childβs Lollipop 2 Aug 2013Happy Birthdae 2013/ Mothering Me
I decided. Then all the MRI scan pictures. I let go of lots of cookbooks that famous chefs signed for me. And a book I wrote.
I decided to let go of the house.
We finally let go of the house on 10.10.2020
The key is I decided
Lol. Why did I even hold on to them in the first place?
To hold on.
For fear of something someday that I may need.
Attachment.
Holding on to a past. Some identity. Some part of me.
Is it difficult to let these go?
Not really. I hear the old me almost reverting back to holding on. But being aware now,
βββ
This is actually a pause, a gap
A bardo.
That I m in, i m in the middle , between my past and my future , then and tomorrow.
I want to use the opportunity of this bardo, this pause this gap, to make it good. I must have told myself β- try something different. If I held on, how about opening my hands myself up and letting go?
I tried π
And it feels pretty good π
I donβt need them now. I want to be in the now. I kissed them packed them and imagine a fire consuming them as they dissolve into nothingness.
Amazingly I donβt have as much emotions as I thought I would have β- to leave this house.
Thank you! For sheltering me protecting me through all times , most of all for giving me the space to grow and develop to become me now. I remember all the me in all of those times, when we moved in, when Qinzhi and HuaiHao were little , when I was in fear, sadness, pain and desperation, when I pursued my dreams and soar, when I cooked , when I penned down my thoughts , did raindrop therapy for qinzhi etc
And I honour these all. They allowed me to stretch my malleability as a person as I went through all these experiences and emotions. Making me who I am now. Acknowledging and accepting these all, and the space, I pack all of these into bubbles and send all of them to the sun and to light.
Thank you and goodbye π
Loving this β- now I feel more ready than before to step up to now and tomorrow.
I thank the universe for this opportunity.
