GREETINGS AND AN ASSIGNMENT

Greetings Dear JC,
I am now leaving Germany, heading to England. It has been a long time sinse I have written, complications always with connections, passwords and so on.
Here in Germany we have had the intensive ceremony of “clearing the family soul”. in our sacred circles after the intensive
great discussions about anger we deeply considered it from many angles.
This topic is so complex with so many implications that it is something like our idea of what or who God is.
That is so individual in terms of meaning that it is difficult to convey in words. So too it is with anger.
What was / is evedent is that people need to release their feelings of anger in a responsible way.  Such as, chopping wood, jogging, art, poetry, walking and of course JOURNAL-ING.
Why not combine these activities? One thing for sure, to release anger, compassion is necessary.
What is compassion?
It is a freedom to love what we don’t understand. To understand in some abstract but viable way what we do not like or can not accept. How do we do that? One pathway to compassion is, to understand that we are in the same boat and all those who live this life with us or before us, are as severely conditioned as we are. Sometimes that conditioning is very very twisted in its expression, leaving a person susceptible to all kinds of imbalances.
When we are raised by unaware people, abusive people, disturbed people,we ourselves receive those influences. You can almost bet that an imbalanced person was affected by an imbalanced person…or a situation that caused imbalance. There, right there, is the opening for understanding to take hold in the form of compassion.
People who have the clear desire to rid themselves of suppressed emotions are heroes. They, you,  are  the ones who maintain a “lit pathway” of freedom from suppression for themselves, yourself and others. We very seriously effect ourselves and our environment in a positive or in an adverse way depending on our emotional attitude. Therefore when we decide to make a difference for ourselves and for everyone, by being  in our integrity, being very honest with ourselves and in a compassionate mannner. Transforming anger and self negation into unconditional love is heroic act for all.

A Reflexology Chart for the Journaling Community

If you can not read this chart clearly, go to Google Search. Type in foot reflexology chart and click images rather than search.
The images button is at the top left hand side of the Google page. Google will require you to click images again and that will be located on the normal search bar. EASY!
There you will find a readable chart likely in your language.

An Energy Release Activity Sure to bring peace and relaxation as well as releasing emotional energy on a deeper level.

Greetings Journal Community,

I would like to offer another aspect of emotional release through journaling and through energy-work for your body…an additional activity to journaling. Now, we will dissolve entangled-energy-knots out of your physical cells, through writing in an atmosphere of sacred space while attending to your body with a little pampering and focused intent. We want to care for every aspect of our being. We are actually energy; (sound-music mantra) and light… physically, emotionally, mentally and essentially. Through this process that you are in, your entire system must be cleared. What a wonderful thing! Our JC community grows daily. Many people find this a very strong and clearing process.

Keep on writing!!! SO here we go… This instruction can be utilized again and again…or just once in a while. I will be adding different activities as time goes on. Express, express, express. Release, release, release!! Our First Energy-Work added to the Journaling Process. When you feel that you are ready to write some more, turn off the TV, all telephones and mobiles and do not let anything or any one disturb you.

Plan on giving yourself at least a half hour to one hour or even more to complete this journaling activity. Prepare your room as a sacred space for your writing time.

How to prepare a sacred space for journaling. Use your own imagination and below are some suggestions.

Whatever you do, give a good deal of attentive awareness to what you are doing. This kind of attention opens the space and creates a finer atmosphere. Whatever you put in is also what you get…think about it. 1. Silence the room, clear the energy with sage (just a little), a lightly- scented incense or a heart-felt chant or a combination. 2. Bring flowers into the room, set them so that they influence your sense of beauty and peace.

You can light a candle for the feeling of warmth and steadiness as well as adding to the quality of the room. 3.When you feel the room is ready, clear, silent…offer a prayer for yourself. To bless your honest expression, complete release and to revitalize your well-being. A prayer of gratitude or simply a silent moment of heart felt gratitude. Gratitude is a rich- fluid, experience that opens the heart and puts things into a clear perspective. Feel the energy field that you have created.

Soak in the softness the silence and the beauty. 4. If you choose to, find some soothing music for the background something that moves you deeply, that will aid you in your writing. Choose music that touches your heart. Silence is also a great way to get in touch. 5. Bring a small tub (to soak your feet in), a clean towel, washcloth and a container of hot (not too hot) water. Have a nice lotion and perhaps your favorite essential oil in case you would like to have some extra pampering (a nice thing to do for yourself). Lavender works real well for soothing the soul. However you may have another favorite, so…

Have your journal and a pen on-hand, take a few deep and slow breaths to bring you into center and your writing into focus. Now, write your feelings, releasing them into the clean sacred atmosphere you have created. Let the silence, the music the beauty dissolve the released emotions. As though the sacred space drinks in and digests the energy until it is completely consumed. Intend this to occur. When your writing is finished, fill the tub with water and soak your feet in the hot (not too hot) water and essential oil (if you choose to add an essential oil).

Let your feet relax and relax your entire body deeply into the moment. Like a leaf rests upon a slow river current, completely let go. When you feel to do so, dry your feet and give them a nice massage with the lotion you have there with you. Now let your hands slowly move over the souls of your feet and feel places that need extra massage. Just let your fingers be drawn naturally to wherever they go. Those particular places that require extra attention have released emotional knots on the cellular level through the journal writing. That you have just completed during this process. The soul of the foot is a map of your body. Check the foot reflexology details and understand where the released emotions have been held. Was the knots released from kidneys, the live, the head? With conscious intention, release any residue of emotional energy that might still be held in the areas of the foot that have required extra attention. Example… If the toes require longer or deeper massage, then put your attention on your toes and release any pinned-up energy that might remain there. Just meditate for a focused moment, sensing the energy dissolve into the sacred space you have created. When you finished with this wonderful process, then you are finished…you may repeat this as often as you want to. However, to write in your journal does not require this process but it is good to take the time, for the sake of your body to release entangled energy knots from the cells. This is also very important. I will add another energy activity soon. Be with this one for a while. Please let me know how you feel after this energy release activity..

Love and Blessings ShantiMayi PS any questions, Please write and I will be sure to answer ASAP (as soon as possible).

A “What’s Happening(?)” request…

Dear JC,
I am now in Koln Germany, many Sacha Sanga people here. I am being cared for in wonderful ways.
I always love to come to Koln, there are many, many wonderful people in the circle of awareness and
spiritual maturity here.
I received a question in the email…
It went something like this, “what shall I do with the journal writings, burn them or keep them?”
It is important to keep your journal going. Writing for a few weeks may exhaust and release some
old built up tensions and that is excellent. Still, it is a process that can go on for a while, a year or
maybe even longer.
If you feel finished for the moment then keep your journal in a special visible (to you) place and
plan to pick it up again and write.
Another question asked in the same e mail, “should I read it again?” Yes…when you feel it would
do some good to read it then do. It might bring some stuffed feelings into view that you will want
to write about and to release.
There is a-lot of energy work we can do and being clear of pinned up suppressed feelings will give the
energy work a clearer field in which to work, play, clear, strengthen and to activate empirical wisdom.
Love ShantiMay

GREETINGS from a magical place

Blessings J C
I am now in the energy of the Shamanic region of Gomera… an amazing place.

Very powerful energy here.
Perhaps something like Glastonbury (Avalon) but of it’s own  flavor …
I am being cared for in a very beautiful way. Gratitude!
I am waiting to receive a kinds of ”what’s happening with the journaling”
information from the JC people.
BUT …
perhaps that does not happen at all.
That would be fine too.
Let us see.
What is clear through the kind emails sent
thus far is that you all do in fact find this a real opportunity
an important inner work and a genuine release.
That in itself is wonderful. What more is really needed?

Blessings all…keep journaling until your emotional body is emptyand expressive,

open and fits your being  like an elegant glove.

ShantiMayi

ps

i will be in touch soon with some information that i think will be important for you

Great Goin’
I am really happy to see, to receive many notices that the journaling is going well…
As I asked in my last post…is there a result of any kind you wish to share with the JC?
I am in the Roma airport right now checking in.
 Looks like there are many taking
pen / key board in hand and releasing tension built up by long periods of time
with bound up feelings. Our emotional body deserves respect and good health too.
Because, when our emotional body is tied, up things starts thriving there inside those knots…like disease.
When we lighten up by releasing the knots…then we create well being in our entire system.
I will write again soon and acknowledge some of those stray emails that were hard to get to in Italy.
I pray Gomera is easier…let us see. TO ALL………………….!!!
Great Blessings
ShantiMayi

Journal Your Feelings Releasing Suppressed Emotion

On your way to illumination

Self Discovery

It is an important time to clear away any weightiness
what so ever that we retain throughout our emotional history.
Light is luminous illumination is light.
It’s time to lighten up and move further inward.
It’s time to get intimately familiar with the depth of your being
and therefore intimately familiar with all that is.
It’s time to eliminate all traces of whatever may, everything that has,
hindered you by obscuring genuine openness and greater vision.
Let us be sincere about releasing painful attachments and move freely and
powerfully into divine wisdom, your heart.

Your heart is always light and free… this is true and a wonderful discovery. Self-honesty, releases you from the stagnation that holds you in abeyance. Your heart is the ultimate transportation vehicle to unbridled potential, yet…unimagined.

An Overview Journaling your feelings is a great way to clear your entire
living system, emotional, physical, energetic and spiritual. What has to happen to get free of old suppressed feelings?

Just start writing, be honest, scathingly honest. This journal is not for anyone to read, just for you to write clearly and honestly about how you feel. I will repeat the word “honest –honesty –honestly” often through this article. Why? It is because it’s very important. Honesty will be a release valve.

Remember this…
This is not a process of “digging up old stories”.
This is not a process of “working things out”.
This is not a reason for feeling guilty or intensifying dramas.
This is not a process of psychotherapy.
This is not a process of forgiveness.

HONESTLY ACKNOWLEDGE

Understand that…
This is a chance to release emotions that have been suppressed.
This is a way of releasing suppressed emotions that cause disease.
This is an opportunity to be very honest with yourself and about your feelings.

When you stuff your feelings, you deny them. Then you create an undercurrent of pain that remains with you until you admit how you truly feel. This undercurrent of denial creates disease and/or emotional mental, physical and/or spiritual imbalances, can even shorten your life and does definitely narrow the scope of insight.

Emotional denial creates outbursts of constrained anger, over sensitivity to just about everything, dishonesty and projection. Until you are totally honest about your feelings, you will not take responsibility for your responses, blame others for feelings of inadequacy and indulge in revengeful attitudes and in self-pity
and likely become bitter and self-negating.

These habitual characteristics are far more painful than expressing honestly what it is that you actually feel no matter how painful those feeling are. This creates instability and then disease can take over the body, the mind, your emotions and spirit… your life. Remember that disease is also dis-ease,
whatever and however that may take hold.

When we live with suppressed undercurrents of pain (and most people do for lengthy periods in their lives if not for their entire lives), then… every time we meet a situation that resembles our original painful emotions, then distress increases and goes deeper into our system, energetic, physical and emotional; therefore and of course impairing our spiritual openness and understanding.

For example, if you have felt rejected in your life and have not given that pain a place, a space, for release by admission or acknowledgement, then, any situation that resembles not being recognized, will intensify, increase and deepen into the undercurrent of dishonesty that you have (yourself) impacted, into your energetic emotional physical and spiritual bodies… your life.

EXPRESS            ! ! !              E X P R E S S

EXPRESS

E   X   P   R   E   S   S

EXPRESS

Another thing is that, we are unable to receive good council in the form
of loving and helpful creative critique. We take offense at everything that’s offered.

So what to do?

Write you feelings down… honestly! Writing in itself is release. Remember we are not digging
up or boring into old stories. We are simply acknowledging how we do feel and how we have felt.
Releasing those feelings and opening that pain to liberate them, not to intensify them.
In other words…your journal is a journal of honest acknowledged feelings to be freed forever.

Admit your feelings honestly and write them down. You need not edit
what you express or apologize. You just write what you feel. That is all.
No guilt, no story, no forgiveness is necessary.  Just write, feel, release. You may cry, you may yell,
you may snap for a moment or a little while, but feel that and free that feeling without building a story around it.
This is very personal writing and is only for you and not for anyone else to read. Protect your private journal.

You need not fix anything, just feel what you feel…in freedom and honesty. If you start to create bigger stories that dramatize your feelings…just stop and release what is being felt in the moment. Just feel, write, acknowledge and release. You may also draw as well as writing. However writing is releasing! So be sure to write. This is your journal, your private feelings. Let them have a space for letting go freely and forever. It’s a lot like taking a refreshing bath after traveling on a dusty road after a long journey.Some people have had great healings, even from cancer, by opening the undercurrent of denial by acknowledging and releasing their feelings.

R   E   L   E   A  S  E

So start today and write, write, write. This is an important time to clear away the residue of what has passed and…still lingers … because it has been denied. BE HONEST AND RELEASE…RELEASE, RELEASE.

IN THE NEAR FUTURE I am likely to have a few suggestions in the coming weeks for people who write and release. I may do this through private e-mail but might add it to the blog.
Let us see what develops in the journal community.

For those who want to let me know that you are Journaling your feelings and want some direction if you might get a bit stuck along the way. Write to shantimayi@shantimayi.com and in the subject write JOURNALING.

Please do not send long e-mails. Do not detail your life or send
comprehensive stories. Just write a few sentences telling me what you need help
with and I will write as soon as possible. I am traveling, but do want to be available for you.

Anyone who wants to be added to the journal community,
let me know that you are starting a journal. Please feel welcome
to do that by writing to the above e-mail address with the same subject title…
JOURNALING. I may list names or locations or initials (only with your permission of course)
for a kind of journal circle.However your journal is not to be shared… perhaps we can share the results and processes. A journal circle is but a consideration and may not develop at all.
Let us see what happens as the emails come in.

I will address some issues on the blog if it looks as though it would be helpful to people to do so.

GET THAT BLANK BOOK AND START CLEARING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. GOOD WRITING AND RELEASING!

Blessings ShantiMayi
