My dear Yogis and Yoginis,
I am still immersed in “The Wisdom Codes” and would like to share with you some insights from it concerning impermanence and
the suffering that results from it.
“Change is happening all around us. We all have loss in our lives. Sometimes we don’t even recognize that it’s happened.
Other forms of loss are so great that the whole world stops when those things happen to us – the loss of a loved one or a job. Loss means
different things to different people.
– We, as a society, are rarely given permission to mourn what is past. It’s doesn’t have to be a deep expression of grief – it’s the
acknowledgement of the loss that begins to free the chemicals so they can metabolize and allow us to move forward.
– Once we have a loss, we can’t un-lose it. We have it, and the only way out of it, once it happens, is to go through it – not discount it, not sweep it under the carpet.
– When we have an experience of trauma without the tools to heal or reconcile, we create neuropeptides, which want to leave the body, and when we don’t hold them in, they will move out of our bodies in the ways that chemicals always move out of bodies – they pass through.
What do those losses mean to our bodies?
Every emotion we have creates a chemical in our body.
The joyous emotions are rarely the problems, but the traumas can cause a lot of problem.
– When we have an experience without the ability to reconcile that experience, we contract, constrict, and lock it down in our bodies. That chemical cannot then metabolize and move. So, we store it in the organs, tissues, or body system that we associate with the trauma – heart, lungs, reproductive system. They stay there until we are ready to deal with them, but they don’t know about time, and they begin to create conditions in the body that let us know that they’re there:
inflammation or something that elevates to some else that lets us know we have the hurt, fear, or loss that we have never reconciled.
– The key is to embrace it and let it pass through and out of the body
– We suffer because we expect that someone or something will
continue to exist in a way that meets our expectations. We enter into a relationship, job, or state of health – consciously or subconsciously, we expect that things are going to remain the same as they were, and if they don’t, it’s the difference between what was and what is in the
moment that is the source of our suffering.”
