Enlightenment maybe just finding out who you are, to see yourself as yourself, with all the bumps and bruises you have gotten along the way, up to this point called today.
You get to see yourself as the total character, a composite of all who touched you along the way, the good, the bad and the ugly, and to see what each imprint made upon the Master Piece called YOU.
It is like you began as an innocent piece of clay and then molded and formed into the person who is standing here today.
Each person who you come in contact with, leaves a structure change, leaves you leaning more this way or that way, able to stand tall, or walk bent.
How exciting to read that my mind literally was blocked due to a stress hormone overload to one area, that I couldn’t see because of a physical malfunction, not just that I ‘decided’ to deny that information in my life.
This body holds and stores information that the mind couldn’t bring in, that the cells in my body along with organs are capable of storing all our experiences for our benefit.
How wonderfully intricate, so sensitive and knowing this body is!
Amazingly brilliant in all that it knows, the way it works and how it is all there for us to use as a guiding system in our world, to navigate and lead us to a life of peace, love and joy.
I think I lost my ‘owner’s manual’ at birth, for I sure didn’t know how to use this body correctly! I guess this is learned with trial and error!
My world, my body and I were not walking together, or at very least were at odds.
What I didn’t know was that my mind was incapable of carrying the trauma, and that it never picked it up!
Impossible to know what you were incapable of receiving!
So there I was walking along with a mind that didn’t record all of my life, and with a body that did, and me in the middle.
There was a disagreement inside of me, dis-ease!
Disease is the body screaming at you, that what you have been doing is causing DIS EASE inside. It is a huge wake up call after years of subtle whispers.
According to Dr. Mona Lisa, there are 7 emotional centers in our bodies, or she even called them seven warning lights that will go off if you are not balanced.
She has two sides of the body, the power and the vulnerable. You have to learn to be in both, a graceful balance.
Our bodies are so sensitive that as soon as we fall off the mark of middle, they respond.
It seems that I had this all backwards as well, that this body just came along for the ride, I so discounted it, now I am fully aware of it and it’s subtle whispers, we have a relationship now that is much more in tune, and we are teaching the mind to come along, to fill in the gaps that it couldn’t grasp.
A few days ago it dawned on me, the reason I am learning my 5th mail route is to strengthen the minds memory muscles. I am working out each and every time I learn a new route, I am building stronger and stronger memory muscles.
This great Universe has me in the perfect job for healing a mind that was weak in memories!
How cool is that?
I marvel at my body, my mind and how the Universe seems to know all I need to heal and rebalance myself.
I just had a thought of a ‘Balance Beam’ and I was in gymnastics, but could never stay on that beam! Now I can see why!
Reality is my balance beam, and I walk it with as much grace and beauty as I can muster, with my arms out wide, my head high, one step at a time trying to stay balanced as I walk the Balance Beam called Life!
