We are taught health is toxic and we create inside a numbing down to a zombie state of lack of emotions and feelings.We become an automaton and work at eradicating the beauty inside ourselves.</span><br /> <div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both; margin-top: 20px; overflow: hidden;"> <h4 class="zemanta-related-title"> Related articles</h4> <ul class="zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image" style="margin: 0; overflow: hidden; padding: 0;"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li" style="background: none; display: block; float: left; font-size: 11px; list-style: none; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px; padding: 0; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; width: 84px;"><a href="http://childwithinus.blogspot.com/2015/08/when-we-listen-child-within-speaks-when.html" style="border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; display: block; padding: 2px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img src="//i.zemanta.com/360033551_80_80.jpg" style="border: 0; display: block; margin: 0; max-width: 100%; padding: 0; width: 80px;" /></a><a href="http://childwithinus.blogspot.com/2015/08/when-we-listen-child-within-speaks-when.html" style="background-image: none; display: block; height: 83px; line-height: 12pt; overflow: hidden; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">When we listen, child within speaks.

Place your feet on the floor and rest your hands gently on your lap.<br /><br />Take this time and concentrate on feeling your Child Withins presence.<br /><br />If you like, visualise a connection to your child within like a deep puddle of water.<br /><br />Begin to focus your thoughts and connect to your child by meditating.<br /><br />Silently and quietly to yourself, repeat your child is coming.<br /><br />Now, bring your attention to the room where you are sitting.<br /><br />Hear the sounds…. be aware of them …..accept them…..and let them go. If more sounds come in, just allow them to become part of the meditation.<br /><br />Now, begin to notice your breathing. Without trying to control your breathing, pay attention to the incoming and outgoing breath. Feel the movement of your breath, the actual sensations of breathing. Feel the air at the tip of your nose, over your lip, and the stretching of your abdomen as it rises and falls with each breath.<br /><br />Keep focusing on your breathing as you breathe in and breathe out. If your mind wanders, observe your thoughts as if they are bubbles of air under water floating to the surface. Then, gently return your attention to the breath.<br /><br />Now, gently bring your focus to your body. Focus your attention on each part of your body in turn, starting at your feet and working slowly up to your legs, pelvis, abdomen, spine, chest, shoulders, arms, neck and head. Notice any sensation that you feel there. Then, imagine your breath flowing into and out of each part of your body as you inhale and exhale.<br /><br />Next, place your attention on the area in the middle of your chest, around your heart.<br /><br />Visualize and experience a feeling of love and warmth throughout your body.<br /><br />Let this feeling fill your body while you gently repeat silently to yourself:<br />May I be well<br />May I be happy<br />May I be peaceful and at ease<br /><br />Next, visualize someone who you love, and silently send loving and kind wishes to this person:<br />May they be well<br />May they be happy<br />May they be peaceful and at ease<br /><br /> <br /><br />Next, visualize someone who you have neutral feelings for, and silently send loving and kind wishes to this person:<br /><br /> <br />May they be well<br />May they be happy<br />May they be peaceful and at ease<br /><br />Next, visualise someone who you have difficulties with or negative feelings for, and silently send loving and kind wishes to this person:<br />May they be well<br />May they be happy<br />May they be peaceful and at ease<br /><br />Next, send the loving-kindness to all the people around you and silently send loving and kind wishes to them:<br />May they be well<br />May they be happy<br />May they be peaceful and at ease<br /><br />Next, send the loving-kindness to all beings everywhere, including yourself so that the feeling of loving-kindness fills you and the whole world.<br />May we all be well<br />May we all be happy<br />May we all be peaceful and at ease<br /><br />Then slowly let the feelings of loving-kindness ease and return once again to focusing on just your breathing.<br /><br />Then return to once again noticing yourself sitting.<br /><br />Then slowly open your eyes and return to the room.</span>

Reminding ourselves of the fruit of our intention and effort can bring a lot of faith and rapture, sustaining us through those inevitable times when it seems as if the practice is not "getting anywhere." When we consider each of these benefits, we can see more fully how metta revolutionizes our lives.<br /><br />When we steep our hearts in loving-kindness, we are able to sleep easily, to awaken easily, and to have pleasant dreams. To have self-respect in life, to walk through this life with grace and confidence, means having a commitment to nonharming and to loving care. If we do not have these things, we can neither rest nor be at peace; we are always fighting against ourselves. The feelings we create by harming are painful both for ourselves and for others. Thus harming leads to guilt, tension, and complexity. Sleeping easily, waking easily, But living a clear and simple life, free from resentment, fear, and guilt, extends into our sleeping, dreaming and waking.</span>

The stages find affirmations are especially useful when negative thoughts interfere

Try repeating the following phrase, “I fall asleep quickly and easily, I wake up feeling refreshed.” Short phrases like this do one of two things: they program me to fall asleep quickly and wake up feeling refreshed or, at the very least, they shut out the other thoughts that are running through my head. There is a physics axiom that states: “Two solid objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time.” The same principle applies with our thoughts. We can’t be thinking two things at once. That’s what counting sheep is all about; it distracts us from those repetitive thoughts that plague us at bedtime. I’m not saying changing our thoughts and words is easy. On the contrary, it can be quite hard at first. Especially if we’ve been programmed to think negatively since we were young or are surrounded by negativity in our lives.

Our fear related memories are stored by the child within

They have never been elevated to a conscious level. As adults, when these memories get triggered, we can feel shaky or queasy but not know why, we don’t realize that some of that stored fear from the past, is getting triggered in the present, making the situation today feel more overwhelming and unmanageable than it might otherwise. As our feelings of fear get more intense, the context or situation we’re in can feel threatening but we don’t necessarily know why. Then we erroneously decide that whatever is triggering is the source of our fear, we do not realize what from our past may be leaking into our present.</span><div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both;

The perfect conduit for recovery is an honest person—pure of heart, healed of trauma. For recovery to come through us without distortion, we must not be barricaded by defences or poisoned by wounds from our past. We must be the clear vessel, the child within.<br /><br />If we are living not from our child within but from a defended, distorted reality we will fail to recover truly. If, in childhood, we have hidden our true selves from the crippling clutches of our parents and a world that would crush us and we have not healed this, our adult expressions of recovering will be distorted. Until our child within is redeemed, our recovery will be filtered through our child’s murky memories of terror and betrayal and will always have a hidden agenda: a secret, unconscious need for rescue, and when that fails—revenge. We will be incapable of affirming the fullness of life in those we claim to love and we will even doubt our own child within—and withhold affection from ourselves.<br /><br />The source of our compromised ability to recover is rooted in the necessary defences that we built in childhood. We built these emotional defences to protect our child within from the violations we received from our parents and others. Until we carefully dismantle our defences through the painful grieving process, they will cloud and distort our recovery. If we refuse to heal, our attempts to recover will never be true.<br /><br />But if we do heal, if we do grieve our traumas, we will be able to love, deeply and truly our child within.</span>

Our unconscious is a mental repository that holds our repressed feelings and experiences

These troubling experiences usually occur in childhood, that vulnerable time of life when we were trapped in our situations and when the implications of what we saw and experienced overwhelmed us. To save our sanity we held these difficult feelings and experiences for a later time, in hopes that we would become strong enough and authentic enough to bear their emotional impact.<br /><br />It is painful to process anything in the unconscious. But the hardest experiences to process are the betrayals of our parents. It is a sad fact that the people who should have loved and protected us the most instead failed us the most. Yet only a person who has experienced enough adult autonomy and separation from his or her parents can withstand the emotional onslaught of repressed feelings and memories when they emerge. For many it is too much to ask; they become as overwhelmed as they were when they were children.<br /><br />It is important to note that trauma is not all that lives in our unconscious. Also repressed in our mental repository is our full palette of creativity, authenticity, and originality. These gifts were not welcomed in an emotionally constricted family or society. So when the pain of unresolved traumas comes out, so too do our positive gifts.<br /><br />But what happens if we don’t process what lives hidden within us? This holding bin of repressed trauma and thwarted creativity saved us as children but it destroys us as adults. All that lives in our unconscious begins to fester and make its presence known through symptoms—physical or emotional. Here the unconscious rules our life. And can rule our unconscious species.<br /><br />Even though symptoms may be painful, they really are our friends—for they tell us that something has gone wrong. Our symptoms tell us that our version of a perfect childhood, or our family’s version of a perfect family, is not true. We begin to suspect that something occurred in our history that has hurt us. Eruptions from the unconscious are really seismic helpers. As painful as they may be, they are an emergence of repressed material that needs our healing, love, and attention. They can save our lives—and our whole lost species. In fact, without them we are lost.</span>

We all have a child within that part of our identity that is free, spontaneous and creative

If you spend time with a 2-year-old, you can easily see their child within play out -- they are full of joy in the moment and tell you directly what they want and how they feel. Of course sometimes dealing with a toddler is akin to trying to manage a disordered adult. They have a tendency to express their negative feelings with irrational rage in the form of tantrums and have the tenacity of a pit bull when it comes to getting the object of their immediate fancy -- regardless of adult protest. As children develop into adults the  child within becomes less and less obvious and takes a backseat to adolescent and eventually adult maturity.<br /><br />But those basics needs of the child however, are all still present. Sigmund Freud theorized that the mind is composed of the "Id," "Ego" and "Superego." The id represents our basic instincts and drive; the superego operates as a moral compass over the id. As children develop, the ego becomes more and more refined in the task of mediating between the id's urges/impulses with the superego's quest for doing 'good' for the long term.<br /><br />When emotionally overwhelmed, we tend to regress and revert to childhood strategies to get our needs met. When the mind is overloaded it is natural to look for immediate gratification. It's at those times that the id or child within might wreak havoc on our relationships, and our life. We who are chronically overloaded with stress, life transitions, medical conditions or chronic relationship conflict often rely on childhood strategies to get our needs met. And for those of us who were not adequately nurtured or made to feel safe in childhood, their child within will play out destructively throughout adulthood.<br /><br />Allowing our child within out means we are constantly indulging our immediate needs and we never get to see that we can tolerate not getting everything just our way all of the time. The child within becomes an adult who inside feels weak and terrified but projects strength by using rage as ammunition. As we see we can tolerate distress and improve our relationships without these tactics we will no longer rely on the child within to handle our adult issues. This leads to increased confidence and positive feelings of self worth.</span><div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both; margin-top: 20px; overflow: hidden;"> <h4 class="zemanta-related-title"> Related articles</h4> <ul class="zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image" style="margin: 0; overflow: hidden; padding: 0;"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li" style="background: none; display: block; float: left; font-size: 11px; list-style: none; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px; padding: 0; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; width: 84px;"><a href="http://intuitivevoices.blogspot.com/2015/05/another-detailed-examination-of-relapse.html" style="border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; display: block; padding: 2px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img src="//i.zemanta.com/340340700_80_80.jpg" style="border: 0; display: block; margin: 0; max-width: 100%; padding: 0; width: 80px;" /></a><a href="http://intuitivevoices.blogspot.com/2015/05/another-detailed-examination-of-relapse.html" style="background-image: none; display: block; height: 83px; line-height: 12pt; overflow: hidden; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Another detailed examination of relapse both physical and emotional, at last in The Ten Stages we come to deal with the roots of our addictions</a></li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li" style="background: none; display: block; float: left; font-size: 11px; list-style: none; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px; padding: 0; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; width: 84px;"><a href="http://socialpsychologists.blogspot.com/2015/04/addiction-is-way-of-temporary.html" style="border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; display: block; padding: 2px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img src="//i.zemanta.com/339192659_80_80.jpg" style="border: 0; display: block; margin: 0; max-width: 100%; padding: 0; width: 80px;" /></a><a href="http://socialpsychologists.blogspot.com/2015/04/addiction-is-way-of-temporary.html" style="background-image: none; display: block; height: 83px; line-height: 12pt; overflow: hidden; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Addiction is the way of temporary forgetting and hence we begin to understand the repeated circles of addiction cycle.
