Feeling stuck - Understanding your journey with Kinesiology
Written by Virginia Gross - Kinesiology and Reiki
We cannot change what has happened in the past. We cannot change what was said or unsaid, done or undone, felt or not felt and sometimes we don’t always understand the effect our experiences have on us. Sometimes we know what the effect is but can’t find the solution or even give the feelings and experiences accurate language. However in our present we know when we have hit a wall, when we feel unbalanced, quickly triggered or just not ourselves. When this happens our first instinct is to cope and then cope a bit more- until it just isn't working. Our imbalances can manifest in many different and uncomfortable ways- from a dysregulated nervous system, feelings of dissociation or just not understanding your own reactions - all of which make our internal experience very uncomfortable. Once we can begin to understand our patterns we can begin to give context to how our past experiences can be playing out in our present. So how do we explore our understanding of the stories we carry, the significance to our present and our energetic and emotional patterns?
Using Kinesiology we can build a picture of these patterns and how they are reflecting in our present lives. Often when we are feeling triggery or unable to “just push through” there is an old pattern stuck in survival, coping and protection. What was working for us then can become unhelpful when it is years later, the situation over, our lives have moved on but our reactivity and coping patterns are still in operation today. Kinesiology uses muscle testing of the bodies own energetic feedback systems to give us a clear picture of what was happening then, how this pattern is playing out now and resetting our protective reactivity back to flow. We cannot change our past, we cannot change what happened but with a new, gentler understanding of ourselves we can begin to shed our protective reactivity and begin to weave in compassion for ourselves as we were, forgiveness for the survival we were in and really engage with a new understanding. We are all on a journey, we are all learning lessons that sometimes only time, experience and hindsight can teach us. By reconnecting with our stories and life events in a gentle way we can begin to see the multidimensionality of our experiences, weaving into our journey a more grounded and centered relationship with ourselves and others- making our path in this life a gentler and more self aware one.
