Well this is funny. This is something that Ive been
experimenting with this last week. I noticed, I live mostly in
my head for most my life. This seems to cause "analysis
paralysis", and basically stops what might have been a natural
reaction/action. What would you say about people who suffer from
anxiety? Or people who have issues where they are unable to
connect with others, and there bodies always tell them "get the
hell out of here". I ask, because I suffer/suffered from my
anxiety issues, but I find its because I am extremely sensitive
to whats going on around me. One type of "space suite" I simply
cannot and will not stand, is the "Im a super dominant dude". I
cant stand it. Since realizing this, I allow my body to take
over, and display the proper sub communications in any given
setting. I find I don't get along with other space suites, who
display this. But I used to come from a place where I would
avoid everything. This came from an inability to relax, and as
of late, its gotten much better. But this came through
medication, and therapy. The results have been significant, but
had it not been for the medication and allowing myself to be
open, I may have never been able to change the pattern. Any
insight on this type of thing?

Medications preclude insights, yours, not mine. Can't help. If
anxious, just leave.
Love ya, Jed.

I have noticed this alot lately-
i have a really weird issue with my stomach- whenever i am
around certain people or have to talk to them on the phone- my
tummy blows up like a balloon- and i get a headache
the problem is- it happens with MOST people -
so- it could be me- LOL (well of course silly rabbit )
I have always been extremely empathetic and "sponge like" - I
sense and feel people's emotions- I am super aware of small
micro expressions- so, from my end- I think I pay WAY to much
attention to other people- Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm- i think i just
may have answered my own question
perhaps I should pay more attention to myself- mind my own
freakin' business-
things that make you go hmmmmm-
::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Jed, I came into adulthood with deep childhood developmental
trauma of physical, mental and sexual abuse. My mother f@#ked me
up seven ways to Sunday. I've been a seeker all my adult life -
not that I really knew it - but looking for nothing other than
escaping the suffering of the heavy emotional thought cascades
that occurred regularly, daily. Over the decades I'd gone to
retreats, workshops, lectures, sat songs, therapy, PMA
adjustments, ad nauseam ... desperate to find an antidote to the
emotional torment of anxiety, panic, paranoia - mistakenly
believing that 'spirituality' was the route to this.
Through reading your books I became intrigued with the concept
of spiritual autolysis (SA); but confounded about exactly what's
what. The one piece I didn't grok in your books was the
thought/emotional percolating that ends up on paper.
Then I discovered a particular approach that I believe does much
the same but is more structured - identifying heavy emotions as
"senses of the soul". Much like the nervous system will alert us
to the sting of touching a hot stove, our heavy emotions are an
alarm that our soul is sending us that will guide us back to our
birthright of serenity and contentment. This is what appears to
be the same kind of pioneering work (well, elegantly
re-packaging for a Western crowd) that you're doing with SA - a
sort of 'self therapy'.
So anyway, I was guided to the work of GuruMeher (pronounced
Guru Mare), a teacher (from kundalini fame) who's written a book
called SOS - Senses of the Soul ("Emotional Therapy for
strength, healing and guidance") documenting what he calls the
seven heavy emotions: fear (anxiety, panic), desire, anger,
depression, grief, guilt and shame.
Through regular daily breathe work that evokes the emotions in
order to identify them, feel them and flush them, over time,
each emotion is brought to the fore in order to ask it (i.e. ask
our body/soul) what is it trying to tell me so emphatically?
"What exactly is the danger and what is it threatening?" And
being able to stop and listen and identify the source - my body?
my reputation? future prospects? (Mine had been feelings of a
deep inadequacy where I'm not smart enough, ambitious enough,
lucky enough, simply, I'm not favored by the Universe ... mostly
everyday, many times a day.)
I know that it appears that SA would be a fairly straightforward
matter - regurgitating on paper. But it escaped me and, upon
hindsight, I believe it's because of the degree of trauma I was
laboring under. I mean those are pretty deeply grooved
neuropathways. I've been doing the SOS work and developing new
ones, it seems, that have greatly alleviated the panic, anxiety,
etc. I'm headed toward serenity and feeling peaceful much of the
time (I have more work to do).
So I'd be interested in your thoughts regarding the SA and being
able to have a more definitive "how to" approach to show folks
eager to work it (you used good examples in the books, but it
escaped me) - and maybe this is what you're teaching in
navigator.
However, in contrast, through the SOS, I'm now more in touch
with my body/soul than I've ever been and hearing it quite
clearly. I had been so strangled in the trauma, I believe, that
only something really pointed and codified like this could stir
the emotions to the top so I could work them. I'm also
interested in whether you have noted the spectrum of heavily
traumatized to not so traumatized - and whether it matters
regarding who makes progress.
Thanks for your good work. Love ya, b

Hi Becca:
Thanks for sharing. It's seems luike a round about way to
release importances. However, I'm pretty pragmatic. If it works
for you then don't stop.
Love ya, Jed.

Jed, in your navigator series do you address SA and approaches?
Or have you said pretty much everything you believe you need to
on the subject in your books?

I THINK I have always be good at choosing folks who play a role
in my life, tho I'm not sure I've really had any say in this
choice. I'm NOT sure it's my body that's deciding, but it's
certainly NOT my mind. I just get a feeling from somewhere about
humans I've been presented with, and I move toward them or away
from them, IF I can. I can't say it's a body feeling. It's a
non-mind thing for sure. That being said, I've associated with
folks who caused me a great deal of discomfort but it is my
belief that these folks I've agreed to be a part of my world,
but nevertheless cause discomfort to ME(and certainly not to
everyone), are there for a good reason, a reason my mind can't
fathom. But of course that's just another BELIEF from my mind.
How much credence can you give that notion? Squattola I guess
huh?
