Energetics of Too Open or Too Closed to Relationships - Dean Ramsden

[Mike]

Think I have done both over the decades (haven't we all?) ... veered down the road of life like a drunk on a motorbike  (my bold for the 5 second surfers amongst y'all )

Snip from http://www.blog.deanramsden.com/studentclient-resources/japan-seminar-introduction-to-class-1/deans-introduction-to-class-1-part-2/

The first thing you need to know about the human energy system is that we all have an aura: we have a container of energy that encircles us like an egg. Just like the Earth has an atmosphere, and that there is an edge to that atmosphere, human beings also have an edge to their energy field. This is your boundary with the world. If someone gets too close to you, physically, they more into and through your boundary, and you may feel uncomfortable. People who are strangers, we like them outside our boundary. Friends, family, our children … they can be inside the boundary, they can be closer to us. From an energy healer’s point of view this boundary is generated (and powered) by the energetic equivalent of the nervous system. So, as well as a physical nervous system you also have an energetic consciousness nervous system. And we’ve known for thousands of years that this energetic nervous system runs up through the spine and into the brain.

In India this main power current up the center of the spine is called the Sushumna. If you are a Star Trek fan like myself, this is your “warp core”: the power system that provides energy to the space ship. Or, think of it as a force field, where the actual machinery that is producing the power is running through the energetic spine.

Each psychic sees this boundary slightly differently, but most of us see it as an egg-shaped boundary around the body. This boundary is very important for healing work because many of us have problems with our energetic boundary: it’s either too rejecting, or too porous or open. If you are the kind of person that loses yourself in relationships, if you merge and lose part of your individuality when in relationship with someone, you probably have a porous boundary.

The other extreme is someone who has a hard time letting others in, and letting things happen to them. Their boundary may be too hard, too rigid. And because this boundary is generated by the quality of the energy running through the energetic spine, we can look to the spine as where to strengthen our boundary.

Also a cool quote from the same page (I think I should buzz off to Tokyo as I might learn a lot  ) ... interesting this as a little while back over some excellent french cooking I was talking to Barry about my feeling of being the head partner in a partnership of which all the partners were coming from different places (responsible FD, creative types etc etc)

The wiring of consciousness (from a psychic healer’s perspective) is wired into each chakra. Each chakra is a certain “cpu” of our functioning. So, my computer has a cpu that allows the Operating System to run; we, as human beings, have many different cpus operating at the same time. Each power center, each chakra is an organic cpu, running it’s own particular software. Just as the lungs deal with breathing, the kidneys deal with filtering the blood, so does each chakra deal with a certain stage or necessity of functioning that we have as human beings.

 

and another one thats sooo obvious is many "fluffy" New Agey folks:

One of the ongoing problems with training energy healers in the West that a lot of people who are drawn to psychic and energy healing (and to spiritual work) are challenged and disconnected from their body. Many of us are very developed up here, in the upper chakras, in the heart, and intellectually, but many people drawn to this work have challenges being in their bodies. So, we are not only trying to have an out-of-the-body experience, we are trying to have an in-the-body experience.

Ok last snip ... read the proper article for yourselves (and see nice pics of Japanese ladies )

Over the course of our classes I’ll be talking about the impact of trauma, on both the physical body and on the energy consciousness system. Trauma is an important study, because at one level it spurs us on to grow and develop (and to heal the trauma) but at another level it disconnects us – through the shock – to certain parts of our energy system. Where our physical and emotional body has been impacted by trauma, very often what happens is there’s a freezing, a numbing out in the body and, consequently, the energy system. If somebody hits me, and I can’t block it or get out of the way, my body holds the impact of that blow, in the flesh and in the bone. A natural response to a physical energy coming towards us in order to deal with an impact is to contract and hold the energy. For instance, if you were struck as a child by a person, or perhaps suffered an accident, the impact could still be affecting you today. It could still be affecting your energy consciousness.

And – as if that wasn’t enough to deal with – we often find trauma and shock from previous lifetimes, previous incarnations, still affecting today’s physical body. It’s very common if I’m working with someone’s organs, say the liver, that we uncover several lifetimes of having problems with the liver. Just as your family genetics predisposes you to certain physical challenges, this is the equivalent … lifetime after lifetime you could be struggling with a similar trauma, a similar issue. Energy healing deals with releasing trauma, and replacing it with energy consciousness that allows us to grow and expand as humans. Trauma (from an energy healing perspective) is not bad, because part of living, part of being human, is dealing with unresolved shock to the system. Once trauma is resolved, it’s replaced with resilience, with consciousness, with openness … it’s replaced with a more effective way of dealing with life.

So, in our practical overview of the chakra system in our classes over the next two years we will first look at how the chakra should be functioning in a healthy way. Secondly, we will explore what happens when a chakra is unhealthy, or it doesn’t develop well. And thirdly, we’ll look at trauma to the chakra. In the advanced class we look at other categories, too.
