What is my rock when is my rock?

What is my rock when is my rock?

I told bf that the last two months has been a time of reinvention

For want of a better word

The process was all about breaking apart and then scrambling to find the pieces – of myself back

I was trying to feel for everything

For everything felt like kind of the same. Nothing could excite me. I didn’t know about my likes and dislikes. Didn’t know what why when where how

And my body was imitating this state

Yesterday at bedtime I was asking HuaiHao what is the heavy weight at my heart center? And he went:” you don’t know how to express yourself. Like you are not made of plastic, you are made of metal , just be yourself and don’t follow the herd”

I didn’t really know what he meant

Today after so long I went back to walking and seeing this kind of made me get it

When everything fell apart, I was trying to grab bf to hold on to something to anchor

But in a way or another, he appeared to be leaving me to my own

And I kind of find myself crushed even more knowing that he has/had been my rock and I m me and myself now

What is my rock when is my rock?

I was devastated

I was frantically searching for something to anchor on

And I think that rock would be the divine. And anything belonging to that

Searching for the divine feeling for the divine and connecting with the divine

And I saw Rumi , “You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the entire ocean in a drop”

And after searching outside for so long looking for something else, I kind of found the divine in myself

And that day I went to remove my wisdom tooth because it went all shaky. When the tooth was extracted, I felt a miraculous sense of release. It was as if something deep was lifted out of me

Came back tired and napped and woke up to a rainbow

What a journey it has been looking for light ?

While Jogging

While Jogging

I started jogging after moving.

The East Coast Park is just 5 min walk away. The morning breeze, the sounds the lapping waves make. And the road ahead.

I tell myself to just focus on moving ahead. Go. Go.

GO

But thoughts come in.

It’s a mindfulness training but thoughts come in.

I keep bringing myself back.

The present is here. Don’t exchange it for anything else. I hear myself say.

I hear chirping birds. And I absorb the music in.

I breathe in the fresh air and is thankful I m alive and breathing well.

I suck in the air. To the keloids the cyst and see the air work on them.

Blessed I m . To have the wisdom to do this.

I find myself hesitating in my path and realize how and why.

The mind is deliberating. Trying to decide and figure out.

Not sure.

And the body reflects the state of the mind or consciousness or intention.

So how did the keloids get there?

Some point in time, something translated into a formation such as the keloids.

Is it fear? Yes the big things that cropped up were dad’s spinal surgery, is having to move into grandmother’s. When we moved and had to change school! It made me think again about transferring Qinzhi and HuaiHao to a school nearby

Yes I think it contributed to the fear I had

Great dislike and worry of being looked at —- sort of like second class when you are new.

There’s intense and accumulated fear and dislike . There’s accumulation and also the inability to discharge these.

Whoa.

How nice to know.

And—— I tell myself, that’s the past , all done already. It’s not you now. It’s not there present.

Awareness is such a powerful thing. Like a knot let gone of in the whispers of the wind.

As I jogged the wind made this howling in my ears. I tapped into it. And I love it.

It’s a connection with nature. What is it trying to say?

And I find myself grateful for having the space to experience this moment.

While jogging, I find myself in the side only when I walk the middle path.

How many (times) people are not aware? That being on the side sometimes doesn’t let you see the full picture?

While jogging, I hear myself say- your heart is not with me, when it is, everything is natural, the appreciation the priority the care.

While jogging, I saw birds fly and is reminded not to forget the feeling of flight

Journal with The Body

Journal with The Body

The body talks.

But did you hear?

I saw this on a yoga group Bliss Within, it got me thinking :

“Our bodies are a wonderful communication tool – they are essentially the mediator between our inner souls and our mind informing us through pain, disease, rashes etc. when we are out of alignment with our true, loving inner selves. Hence, we are to be thankful to our bodies for whatever they manifest and always keep in mind they are simply trying to tell us something and miraculously when we listen, these issues often disappear.

Journaling with our bodies or specific body parts can be a wonderful tool to discover what it is trying to tell us. The next time you have a pain, ache, rash or annoying ailments, sit down and ask what it’s trying to tell you and then trust that what “it” writes you back is truth. Listen to its advice – you may just be surprised at the wisdom it has to offer you and how it can help you to heal yourself!”

I thought of the keloids and the inflammation I deal with

Each time it’s inflamed and I have to squeeze out pus and blood I clench my teeth

Every time so until I realize I clench my teeth really hard

It brought to mind a part of my experiences and time when I clenched my teeth really hard

These few nights I heard bf and QinZhi grind their teeth in sleep

Is it coincidence?

This thing about pressure stress and biting your teeth

In both English and Chinese literature, there’s an expression of biting the teeth to get through tough times

The keloids or body remember that time

That time I fought so hard ——suppressed myself my soul my everything so hard ——-to get out of the situation then

It was a time of challenge low darkness loneliness fear worry cold shiver cannot breathe holding back pulling back breaking down collapse

I sucked it all up and all in

Struggle. I struggled so hard to be alive

My body remembers all this

And now I m seeing it’s release and letting out all those suppressed repressed emotions

As I wrote this , it felt more and more like I was looking at it from a distance trying to recall a certain past

This distance is great . Oh! How wonderful

That was a tough time

Now how do I help this part heal

Fast, I m on a 10 day fast and I have seen it gone down

EFT tapping I heard myself say

Breathe. Breathe in fresh air to these areas

Visualize it dissolved

And is it any wonder that I saw Nick Ortner on Gaia and Instagram?

Realising Me xviii

Realising Me xviii

Today in my self reiki session, the nerve or ligament or vein at my right neck was vibrating for like 30sec , it just kept on. Is this a muscle spasm or energy going through?

I tried to find out by experiment

So I said, now , lets work on the left shoulder, and i felt energy go there, then keloid! then cyst!

And felt for myself how the mind-body connection works.

I breathed in fresh air, light to these parts and I remembered what I wrote down: “can i love myself like how I do to my kids?”

I felt for myself what it is like to smile love at these parts, the keloids at my chest, the cyst , the big keloid

I most closely associate the keloid at my chest with the memory of the time I got back from nanny’s into my own home, that period when dad was going through or has gone through surgery, memory of visiting him at the hospital, memory of us moving out of our cosy home to ah ma’s home with my aunties and uncles, that time mommy was pregnant with brother

the feeling of uprootedness , totally unearthed and lifted off the ground

At nanny’s I was shielded and protected all the while and to the max, they cherished me like their own ———even till today

come to think of it, the keloids took note of this uprooting event, the first in my life

I find myself putting my consciousness there and breathing it, thanking it, “its been hard on you! thank you for the inspiration” and i visualised my chest without the keloids.

This keloid has been with me since primary 3, 

You can go now as I have heard you

Then the big keloid,

The memory I most closely associate it, is in my teens, when my family is uprooted yet again

 Dad left, that was major

Then Mom, that was catastrophic

Totally uprooted from earth and thrown into the universe dont know where

Then departures of uncle and auntie

That was shattering

My skin took note of these events in a way that was harsh even to itself too

The keloid has been shouldering this for like ten plus years, mom passed away in 2002 

Then the cyst

I find myself linking it to Qinzhi and her traumatic episodes of seizures

Then my relationship with my husband

Just thinking this, made my face tighten

I was conscious that my eyes felt different just coming to this point

What is it?

We made up but not really yet. 

I said I wanted a proper apology and a letter of reflection

There are still stuff that needs working and processing on

I think I was tired of it all, thoroughly disappointed that my expectations are still not met, feeling like the leopard never changes its spots, yet wanting so much to spurn change in my marriage

Deep down, I guess I still wanted to make it work 

I was angry yes and still is, that things came this way and frustrated that he didnt know how to appreciate me

So angry

Then I sent light and air there and saw how these are dispersing the cyst

What is it I want?

I want the love like we started. When I was cherished like a pearl on an oyster

These parts recorded the most important events of my life.

I also asked the divine to give me all the love and light i need to embrace the past and future and energy to work on the present

Today when I showered I changed one thing, instead of asking the water to cleanse me of all that doesnt support me

I asked it to give me all the healing, all the energy, all the light all the cleansing that I need

And of late, I have been using visualisation

Visualising the big keloid gone and the skin totally baby like

and I could see my navel in full again

then the keloids at my chest—gone

These few days, Huaihao wanted my full attention and was telling me about his lego creations and I asked him how he does it?

He says its imagination 

So I get reminded to work my visualisation.
