Inner journey
Hi,
I have found a powerful tool for personal healing and self-discovery. I have personally found that breathwork or rebirthing a very helpful process to release emotional blockages and in personal healing.
Recently, I ran a breathwork process at the Girl’s Home and I’m glad to share that the breakthroughs they get are amazing. I realise that many people out there are suffering without knowing how to heal themselves mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The girls have been put in the girls’ home for various reasons. They have been there either for crimes , drug abuse, teenage pregnancies, been protected from physical/ emotional abusers etc. Some of them were simply abandoned or are from broken families.
As I did a breathwork session for them (a guided breathing technique) where they release blockages at a cellular level, I see how they start to heal emotionally. It is releasing all the painful experiences so they do not lead a misguided life. If one has been found guilty of crime, she may continue to punish herself or feel ashamed of who she is. If they have been abandoned before, they may become clingy and would sabotage future relationships so that she would not be the one feeling abandoned. People tend to get into a pattern of behavior when they have ever had bad experiences.
I’m glad some of the girls hugged me when I revisited them and consulted with me while there are some whom were afraid because it gets close to the wounded heart in order to heal.
I realised that many people continue to punish themselves and live in victim mindset after something traumatic happens. The key here is not to surpress your feelings or ‘try to forget’ what happened. It is about confronting it and letting it go at a deeper level. Its like when you have a deep cut on your hand, you can choose to leave it and you may get the ugly scar that you want to hide away from people forever, or use a small plaster on your own (which is inadequate) or get support from expert so the wound heals nicely. But for the experts to heal the wound nicely, you need them to first get close to you, clean up the wound before stitching up for proper healing. Some people are afraid of having the experts to help clean up the wound even though they know that is the best way to go.
It is my advise that anyone experiencing deep hurt, resentment, anger, guilt, feeling of abandonment, self-pity, financially/ emotionally stressed, to seek support and help, especially from certified breathworkers.
I have seen how breath work has helped people heal the negative thoughts and self-sabotaging behaviors.
-people whom have experienced loss of loved ones -feeling that life is unfair, love is painful, love hurts, losing a sense of who they are, guilt of not being about to help
-people whom have been abandoned /betrayed - feelings of unforgiveness, injustice, anger, jealous, mistrusting others, ‘I don’t need anyone’ mentality
-people whom have been bullied/ tyranised- feelings of not good enough, guilt (sinner), self-esteem issues
- parental disapproval - all of the above issues can arise depending on the types of disapprovals
-blockages about money - mindset that ‘money is hard earned’, ‘money is evil’, ‘there is always not enough’, always in debt, fear around money
- sexual abuse - fear, anger, deep guilt, self-doubt, judgemental about men or women. May get into relationships with people of same sex as they fear the hurt from opposite sex or decide not to feel anymore.
-people whom have committed crime - guilt, self-punishment or even be numbed with ‘I don’t care’ attitude
-people whom are suicidal - life is suffering, I don’t belong here, giving up is easier, there’s no other way out.
the list will go on and on…
the fact is that we are like onions, as we grow up, we accumulate layers and layers of self-doubt, guilt, fear, resentment, mistrust, hurt, feelings of not being good enough etc. And its time to let go.
Leonard Orr is the originater of breathwork and I have also learnt from Sondra Ray and John Stamoulos, both whom I considered as my mentors in Breathwork. I will be bringing Sondra Ray (www.sondraray.com) and John Stamoulos (www.johnstamoulos.com) to Singapore end November and hopefully, you can join us in the 2-Day Loving Relationship Training (LRT), a powerful self-discovery and inner healing journey .
The LRT program will be held on 30 November and 1 December 2009 (Mon - Tues) 9am - 6pm at International Plaza. Feel free to email me at wendy@exec-directions.com if you have further questions. Wishing you abundance of love, joy, happiness.
cheers,
wendy
