Lockdown Making You Crazy?

Hello! I wonder if some of you have started to notice what I have during this stay-at-home/lockdown of many parts of our society. Memories, regrets, ocurrences you forgot are all sort of rising to the surface of your consciousness. This can be at any time of the day or night. Sometimes they just pop up. Other times there is a slow kind of sneaking up on you. It is kind of uncomfortable. Not like , "Oh, good, here I am in therapy and I get to do a rousing life review and really clean out my energy centers." No, this is like part of your past looking in your window and knocking on the not- too- clean glass and saying, "Hey, remember me?" So, in trying to acknowlege this phenomenon, I came up with a meditation to help. It would be great to just shove that stuff back down and forget about it, but it seems with too much time on our hands, these things creep back. I know, sounds like a horror movie! I am not saying there are not good thoughts and experiences too, but all this is a little overwhelming at times, and I would like to process and move on! So, to begin, breathe. Breathe deeply, drinking in the air, holding it a few seconds, then releasing, whoosh! on the outflow You can even do this standing up if you wish, moving in whatever way feels good to you, as a kind of warm up and relaxing exercise. When you feel ready, sit or lie down in a place you feel very comfortable. Close your eyes and begin to slow your breathing. Slower now, becoming calm, and calmer still. Now go to the inner layer of your aura and breathe, letting whatever needs to come up from your early childhood. You probably will remember many things-take your time-interactions with siblings, feelings about your parents, the environment of your home. Let it come up through the template of your body, rising up out of you. Take a look at it, with no effort, and then release.Give these memories the freedom to go on their way, like a cloud that came from inside, hovering above you for a few minutes and then floating away on the wind. Breathe. Deep breath. Breathe again and let another layer become activated,say,the teenage years. Let the memories, the atmosphere come.Allow yourself to say things to people in those times if you need to.Then watch the cloud gather above you, floating higher and release. Breathe. Settling down again, let early adulthood come up. Lots of material here. Participate as if you are standing outside the situation.They can't see you but can hear you. Say what you want to, good or bad. See the cloud and let it go... As you lie there, keep releasing. You don't have to know what time period, could be yesterday!, what a relief! See your body and your mind becoming lighter, freer and more open Imagine the sun's warmth beaming over your body, healing all of your cells. Bring in a cool breeze to enliven your energy centers and give you a boost. Relax and picture yourself feeling good, having a wonderful day .I hope you can now move forward with your life with more energy and creativity. Namaste, Lia
