Today is a good day to start tracking and recording the way your body is responding to the current situation.

Rather than cognitively examining what you are thinking, keep a record of the actual sensations you are feeling in your body.

What is this moment bringing up for you?

There is something that your body needed and wanted that it did not receive. And although yes it is about the current moment, it’s also about something deeper and much older. Perhaps a lifetime of a similar, almost identical energetic experience as far as the body is concerned.

Again don’t track any mental ideas, don’t even track emotions, track the actual sensory experience and sensations. This requires a much more subtle level of attention and attunement, which is exactly what your body is asking of you.

Some examples of body sensations are: heavy, tight, contracted, restricted, hot, spacious, tingling, twitching, clenched, light, blocked, frozen, buzzing, dense, firey, foggy, spaced out, nauseous, collapsed, fidgety, knotted, weighed down, dizzy, tense, throbbing, wobbly.

As you tune into what sensory patterns are showing up, respond with the appropriate physical movement to support you in shifting that energy.

You might decide to jump up and down ten times or do something that changes the familiar shape your body takes in this type of situation

The key in healing is to create a new experience in the body that contradicts the feelings of overwhelm and helplessness that happen to remind you of a past trauma.
