: Any thoughts in answer to the following
: questions would be appreciated:
: 1) When I try to breathe into a
: feeling I feel I'm just suppressing
: it further, like telling it to
: dissipate, instead of just being with
: it and watching it and feeling it.
: Does anyone else feel this way?
: Breathing for me seems good for
: generally lowering resistance to
: feeling and changing patterns of
: holding in energy, but not to work
: with a feeling when it's happening.
: Because when I consciously try to
: breathe into a feeling, it feels like
: I'm trying to change it (make it go
: away) instead of just feeling it.
: 2) Has anyone tried Reiki or other
: energy work as a supplement to the
: emotional clearing work, and was it
: helpful?
: I think that when we have blocks to certain feelings we may conciously be reinforcing them by feeding the blocks with energy. It takes energy to suppress emotion. I belive it may also be possible that some part of ourselves that is cut off making us not whole needs to be nurtured so it may grow. Perhaps that is m\why emotion may linger. If we are not allowed to grow yet we need to grow we are perpetually experiencing emotional discomfort.
