In last week’s blog post Filtering Thought-Spam, I wrote about how your mind’s “ignore” functions like an e-mail spam folder for unhelpful thoughts. Since recognizing spam-like thoughts tends to be easier than ignoring them, you might try some of the following ignore strategies.
Meditation establishes a solid foundation for your ignore. You practice observing your thoughts rise and fall while neither getting too attached to them nor resisting them. A meditation practice also reduces reactivity when bothersome thoughts surface in everyday life. Unfortunately many people erect barriers against meditating, telling themselves they can’t do it, they just don’t have what it takes, it’s too time-consuming or weird or whatever. Fascinating how spam-thoughts prevent starting a practice to reduce those very thoughts!
Label erroneous thoughts “spam” or “phishing scams” to distance from them. If needed, you can follow with the thought “And what do you do with spam? Delete it, of course!” Anything which drains the power of thoughts helps. Retain your power to choose whether or not to act on your thoughts.
Observe yourself thinking. Russ Harris, author of The Happiness Trap: How to Stop Struggling and Start Living, shares an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) based strategy where you say to yourself, “I notice I’m having the thought that….” This brings you into the observer role and reduces identifying with your thought or even believing you *are* your thought.
Apply the three Jin Shin Jyutsu® acupressure organ self-helps known “Face Flows” to reduce excessive thinking. These flow through your head calming your busy brain, therefore they also help with thought-induced insomnia. Try the Stomach, Bladder, and Gallbladder Organs Face Flow self-helps.
What tricks and strategies do you employ to ignore your thoughts? What makes ignoring easier or harder?
The Main Central Vertical (MCV) flow and self-help from the ancient healing art of Jin Shin Jyutsu harmonizes everything physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. In this post, I discuss specific projects harmonized by MCV and how to apply MCV.
About three weeks ago, my 56-year-old physically fit husband experienced paralysis of his right side following a stroke. Today it's like his stroke never happened.
Some Jin Shin Jyutsu self-helps for managing emotions, enhancing immunity, and supporting our lungs. Also, I'm hosting free Immunity in Community gatherings.
We open with a 45 minute or so Akashic Records consultation. The revealed themes, patterns, and disharmonies drive the table work in conjunction with your "pulses," body reading, and my intuitive insights. A follow-up e-mail documents what occurs during the energy work and includes customized self-helps.
In this work, you remain fully clothed. Just wear whatever will feel comfortable while lying on my massage table. If it's a remote session, I'll ask you to rest while I send energy.
Please consider the personal or interpersonal disharmony that led you to me and how you would like it to shift. During the session, we'll explore and address the origins and drivers of each "project."
No, the records aren’t a good resource for predictions. If there’s something you hope will happen, the records might reveal a series of necessary steps to reach your desired outcome but not the timing. For predictions, please consult a good psychic or astrologer!
Minors are under their parents' legal and energetic jurisdiction until they are 18, regardless of their maturity level.
The greatest benefit occurs when I incorporate all four modalities I practice. The option without the Akashic Records is appropriate for children under 18 who cannot receive readings. A stand-alone reading can bring insight and healing but does not involve my direct interaction with your energetic and physical bodies like my other practices.
No, but you are welcome to record sessions yourself.
Self-helps, both from Jin Shin Jyutsu and the Embodied Energy System, support your continued harmony, accelerate your evolution, and empower you. Plus they make you sparkly!
