Posted by Linda on 3/10/2005, 6:24 am, in reply to "Bodywork alternatives" You know I truly believe your "higher self" can instruct you on how to move through this work and listen to your own body's desire to customize a bit. Don't dismiss yoga but in meditation ask you "Witness" self for direction It is important to integrate the spiritual and the physical, but it's also still benefiial to go through the steps in meditation in Emotional Clearing, even if you don't have the physical part all worked out and blended in. I find the single most important part of this work is finding the "Witness" or "Observer" and calming letting it witness emotions without acting them out . --Previous Message--

This is interesting. I have always had a hard time with the yoga aspect of this work, too. Some of this I must admit, is because of a disconnect from my physicial being. But when I first began the work I kept on wanting to go spontaneoulsy into Tai Chi-like dance steps.
Hope this helps or makes sense.
