The Power Of Reflection and Expression
Stored deep in this human, were distant memories and lessons unlearnt.
I was taught to keep busy and keep moving forward when there was tragedy or emotional intensity.
The cost of this way, is that trauma becomes stored in this complex human system, big experiences remain unprocessed by the conscious mind and body. The process of slowing down, feeling, reflecting, learning and expressing are critical parts of growth, and essential parts of fostering a secure and stable relationship within the self, and with others.
For me, moving forward without this awareness/process led me to unconsciously repeating relationship patterns and essentially suffering unnecessarily through similar experiences. Had I stopped, immersed in nature and the elders of my community,I would have been able to process and be supported through significant changes, and evolve. I know this now, this is what I have done to get to my current perspective.
Through experience, I have come to understand that emotions are our bodies communications system, sent from our minds, and also from our bodies where unprocessed emotions become stored (Until it safe to process them).
I know this, because I have explored it, live it, and have been consciously accessing and transmuted stored emotions through a combination of physical activation (surfing, heavy physical work, dancing) and then transmuting emotions through conscious music creation and live channeling (i.e. Opening my heart and energy body to freely express music/sound with no restriction other than an intention to come home to inner peace.
Music is a magical bridge between spirit and this world. The realms of music I am now existing in, connect to the frequency of all natural elements and organisms, and to human consciousness.
The instruments and my voice become a conduit, a conduit, a conductor of the lands resonance, of the plants aliveness, of my hearts deep calls, of my communities needs, of humanities evolutionary cusp.
The words point to an essence, a presence, an inner power that can transcend the limits of mind and truly open a pathway to peace. An experience of inner calm, of trust, of safety, stability and connection.
We are never truly alone in this long walk to freedom.
Only the mind holds such a story. Luckily, we are much more than our minds. In fact, when we awaken to our higher senses and our souls calling, we become aware of how profoundly connected we all are.
We are here to help walk each other home. To our hearts, to live in harmony with rhythms of the natural world and to open into giving and receiving all the wonderful and subtle forms of what is held in the mystery of love.
Yours truly,
Phil
