  How to release all toxic patterns through movement.
• 0:03
  Okay.
• 0:05
  So I think this one we covered a bit last week.
• 0:08
  But a cute question.
• 0:11
  How to release all toxic patterns through movement.
• 0:13
  Okay.
• 0:17
  All right.
• 0:18
  So if there's any others, feel free to put them into the chat.
• 0:20
  And I think I'll weave it into the topic that I wanted to talk on today,
• 0:26
  which was transformation.
• 0:30
  or the story work.
• 0:32
  And all our work has to do with the story work anyway.
• 0:35
  So, you know, it will just kind of line up, I'm pretty sure.
• 0:39
  So let's talk about the physical first,
• 0:41
  because sometimes the physical actually feel a bit more tangible,
• 0:46
  measurable, accessible.
• 0:49
  How do you release acute questions?
• 0:53
  The question is acute.
• 0:54
  So how do you release old toxic patterns through movement?
• 0:57
  so if you're moving and moving consciously and it's kind of like a revision of what i mentioned
• 1:03
  last week in satsang as well if you're doing conscious movement which is bringing awareness
• 1:09
  into your body as you're moving and using deep breathing as you're doing your movement then
• 1:17
  by virtue of doing that by bringing awareness into the body it is going to start to iron out
• 1:24
  the kinks and start to move energy through. So physically, we might feel it as, you know,
• 1:31
  tension releasing from the body, things starting to free up, open up, you know, strengthen as well
• 1:36
  as release. So this is the transmission that's happening on a physical level, which, you know,
• 1:45
  has an emotional energetic level, like you cannot separate that, because the body, you know,
• 1:50
  You can't compartmentalize the body from the mind, from our emotions.
• 1:53
  So as you're doing movement, and I call it conscious movement,
• 1:59
  as in bringing awareness into the body and areas of the body,
• 2:03
  as you're doing the movement, in particular in our practice, yoga,
• 2:08
  and using deep breathing, it is actually starting to shift those patterns.
• 2:14
  All toxic patterns.
• 2:16
  so the reason I've actually not just you know stuck with yoga or let's call it movement or
• 2:25
  conscious movement or not just stuck with meditation or not just stuck with the internal
• 2:31
  work so the story work which is more a mind level and the emotional energetic work I haven't just
• 2:37
  gone with any one of those separately or just chosen one of those because they kind of go
• 2:43
  together they work together so if you're doing movement like a movement practice which for us
• 2:51
  is yoga conscious movement using a breath then it makes sense or I say makes sense but it actually
• 3:00
  tends to compress time it accelerates the journey and the results when there is a way for you to
• 3:07
  process it on you know let's say a different modality so if you're moving the body then it
• 3:13
  makes sense on the level of mind or emotion, which is why in our body of work, there is this,
• 3:19
  you know, this four kind of modalities, if you will, that bring it into our work. Because just,
• 3:26
  for example, sitting in meditation for many years, not in one shot, obviously, like every day,
• 3:34
  for whatever period of time every day, for me wasn't enough, you know, or just doing the yoga
• 3:41
  practice the physical yoga practice for me wasn't enough because there wasn't some way for me to
• 3:46
  process and you know the mind still needs to on some level make sense of things and and move
• 3:54
  through the stuff that needs to be moved through right so same with if I was just to do you know
• 4:01
  the um the dialogue work that the you know intervention work um on its own you know and
• 4:07
  I've definitely trained in each of these modalities, right? So one modality where it was just this,
• 4:14
  and very, like, you know, puritan, like, just focus on this, I found it wasn't enough, like,
• 4:19
  I needed to bring in the body work, you know, and just the body and just the mind wasn't enough,
• 4:25
  like, I, you know, I needed to do the meditation and start to move things energetically as well.
• 4:30
  So each of this is a dimension that we add, and each dimension that we add, adds an exponential
• 4:37
  dimension to compressing time as in speeding up the results you know it's what we experience
• 4:45
  in this physical um well body but also as this you know physical being so therefore the
• 4:52
  transformation you could say kind of speeds up like it doesn't need decades and decades and
• 4:57
  decades of it you know you'll find that's why in one intervention you know like tomorrow we've got
• 5:02
  not tomorrow Sunday, we've got Mini Awaken and you know someone will share something and in one
• 5:09
  hour, in one intervention, in one healing session, someone can shift a lifetime of stuff around that
• 5:15
  area. Right so these in my opinion and experience all go hand in hand, they go together and therefore
• 5:24
  when they work together you have multiple dimensions of transformation at play and taking
• 5:32
  in your life whereas when I found that I was just doing postures for you know I don't know what a
• 5:39
  couple of decades and there wasn't a way for me to process it there wasn't a way not just to make
• 5:46
  sense of it but to actually move through the stuff that needed to be moved through and on yes on one
• 5:51
  level I you know my mind needed to understand certain things right and if I was just limiting
• 5:57
  myself just to understanding like I need to understand everything I need to make sense of
• 6:00
  everything that's also limiting myself and at some point that stops being useful it's you know
• 6:06
  I feel like it's you know not I feel I I know from my experience of working with people each of these
• 6:12
  has a place in someone's healing journey so coming back to your question of how do you release
• 6:18
  you know all toxic patterns through movement I would say movement is really powerful each of
• 6:24
  these are really powerful but when you bring it together with these other dimensions it speeds
• 6:32
  things up and not just speeds things up sometimes makes things uh it brings a level of ease to it
• 6:38
  you know a certain level of effortlessness to it because maybe on a physical level if you're just
• 6:44
  trying to move it through on a physical level it might take a lot of effort and time which may be
• 6:50
  okay on one level but then on another level it's like okay how much longer is this going to take
• 6:54
  and what am I going to get to the shift the healing the transformation you know that I'm seeking
• 7:02
  um so how does it tie into the topic that I wanted to at least touch upon today you know
• 7:08
  the patterns what you're talking about patterns is um patterns in the mind like thought patterns
• 7:14
  you know and you can say the narrative the mind narrative which we call you know the story and
• 7:20
  that is running us and then the core story has kind of,
• 7:23
  you could say like a tree has branches,
• 7:25
  or like layers.
• 7:26
  And sometimes one story can have many layers like an onion.
• 7:30
  And which kind of touches upon Emma's question,
• 7:35
  like would I keep hitting the same thing
• 7:37
  over and over again?
• 7:38
  And it can seem like that in the journey of life
• 7:41
  or transformation, which is about life.
• 7:45
  You know, we have this analogy in our work
• 7:47
  which is like this multi-story car park and it can see on like you know like a spiral like
• 7:53
  sometimes I've had this experience um where it's just been like a spiral and you know the spiral
• 8:00
  can sometimes feel like I'm not going up I'm actually going down and backwards and it's like
• 8:06
  hang on I've done that and then it's like but I've already done that but I've already done this work
• 8:11
  but hang on I thought I've already done this several times and it feels like the same point
• 8:17
  I've gone around and come around and say I've hit what looks like the same but I'm at a different
• 8:23
  level you know I'm at a deeper level or maybe if you look at the car park like you're going up you
• 8:28
  just said you know the next level so it can seem sometimes when you're doing this work like when
• 8:34
  is this ever going to go away it's just that you're going deeper and it looks like the same
• 8:43
  thing i've had that time that many times in my journey and i thought i've worked on this so many
• 8:48
  times like when is this freaking going to go away it's like is this even working am i wasting my time
• 8:56
  my years working on myself yeah it's working it's just that all of that work that i did before
• 9:03
  has prepared me for the next level and then this work that i'm doing now is preparing me for the
• 9:07
  next level so all the work that you've done before is preparing for what you're upon now in your life
• 9:14
  you know all the internal resources all the evolution that you've gone through as this
• 9:19
  physical being and also this energetic being like this soul so your question emma i'm now jumping
• 9:26
  around the questions um i'm guessing was more like a on an energy and like an energetic level as well
• 9:31
  like on a soul level you know when i go through these cycles and i'm getting having these lessons
• 9:39
  And from my experience of it, I would say that, okay, now I'm talking energetically.
• 9:44
  So I'm talking about soul and energetic.
• 9:46
  So again, when I say that, that means if you think of it from a logical point of view, I am going to sound like I'm crazy.
• 9:52
  Which I don't know, maybe I am, who knows.
• 9:55
  On an energetic level, on a soul level, the soul is actually gaining virtues.
• 10:02
  It is learning, it is evolving.
• 10:04
  so therefore until the lesson is learned a lot of times we keep getting the lesson in different ways
• 10:12
  and you know it chose to learn the lessons that it wants to learn it's meaning the soul
• 10:19
  and as a human being sometimes we will experience some of these lessons that we
• 10:24
  you know the soul is learning in very intense you know ways like very very difficult and intense
• 10:30
  ways but if you think about on a soul level a lifetime is just a drop in the ocean right it's
• 10:36
  just like a quick moment you could say a glimpse but what we're experiencing in this physical life
• 10:42
  a lifetime feels really long for us but for a soul because you know all times here and now it's like
• 10:48
  it's just quick you could say so what we are experiencing very intensely and maybe even
• 10:55
  painfully may not be seen as that because on on a higher you know on a higher plane of existence
• 11:01
  there isn't that we just experience it as a human being so some of these lessons can be really
• 11:07
  difficult and challenging and this is where if you're trying to do it on this level on this
• 11:12
  physical plane of existence it takes much more time and it takes much more effort because it
• 11:17
  takes time to move a particle from a to b and the only way you can actually get the result quicker
• 11:24
  particle, right? Move it faster. So that's why we tend to push and shove and fight and, you know,
• 11:28
  struggle and hustle and all that sort of stuff. Whereas when you shift into the energetics,
• 11:32
  which is actually why we've got this dimension as well, like the healing work, the energy work
• 11:36
  in our body of work, at some point, you know, there's only so much you can do on a body level.
• 11:41
  There's only so much you can do on a mind level. And at some point you switch into the energy work.
• 11:46
  And that's where, you know, one healing can shift one or several lifetimes of stuff.
• 11:51
  So when you're talking about, you know, soul lessons and things like that,
• 11:55
  you know, like you're marking, you're actually downloading it.
• 11:58
  You're actually clearing the beliefs and you're integrating the learnings
• 12:02
  and marking them complete before you move on right to the next.
• 12:08
  And again, I'm speaking energetically, so, you know,
• 12:11
  it's going to sound like I'm crazy if you're thinking of it from a logical point of view.
• 12:14
  It's like, what? What's this guy talking about?
• 12:16
  So hopefully that makes sense to you guys because, you know,
• 12:18
  You've all been around this work for some time.
• 12:23
  That's at least my experience of the question that you're asking.
• 12:30
  Your question, Lizzie, is more on the level of the mind,
• 12:34
  and you're saying, you know, I keep these things,
• 12:38
  like the 24-hour out of office to self,
• 12:42
  which is actually a good thing if you're quite impulsive
• 12:45
  and just like reactive, right?
• 12:48
  on the list and just sit with it so good that you've got a system which is like 24 hours
• 12:54
  and does it block creativity i mean who's in control of the process it's funny like you put
• 13:01
  the thing in place and then you're like oh but i've limited you know it's limited this thing
• 13:04
  has limited me but you created it it's like okay if it doesn't work change it you know so if you
• 13:09
  want to have some room for creativity then go ahead and you know and create that um space for
• 13:15
  yourself give yourself the permission um and it's also a question of like the question under the
• 13:20
  question is you know can i have permission to do it this way it's like well yeah why not like you're
• 13:24
  the one who created this so you can change it if you want um how do i know when i act on that
• 13:29
  creativity immediately um only to put it down i don't know like you know i would say for me like
• 13:37
  whatever the thing is that i am either you know reacting upon or sitting on and then you know
• 13:45
  maybe one filter could be like,
• 13:47
  how does this actually align with what my life is about
• 13:50
  or what I want my life to be about?
• 13:52
  And does it really matter?
• 13:55
  Or am I just wasting my time, my energy, my space?
• 13:57
  So it comes back to intentionality,
• 14:01
  which we've talked about in other sessions.
• 14:04
  So what is the bigger intention?
• 14:06
  What is my bigger why?
• 14:07
  And what am I up to in this life?
• 14:09
  And does this thing even matter?
• 14:14
  and maybe part of your thing you know your why might be like about creativity or fun or
• 14:20
  expansiveness or exploring you know life and its dimensions and it's like okay cool then maybe you
• 14:25
  want to create some space for that but part of the question is also your favorite answer which
• 14:31
  is come out of your head because you're trying to solve it very much it's like it's a very
• 14:36
  you know kind of like a heady question which is okay obviously you know it has time and place
• 14:43
  let me see if I answer the question.
• 14:44
  I feel like in the moment it's gone now.
• 14:45
  Somehow my question is,
• 14:46
  how do I know if I act on that creativity immediately?
• 14:49
  I need to put it down and come back to it.
• 14:52
  I haven't regretted adding something to the list,
• 14:54
  but I've regretted not adding it to the list.
• 14:56
  So then maybe there's, you know,
• 14:58
  your answer is there as well.
• 14:59
  Like put it on the list then,
• 15:01
  because maybe what you're working through right now
• 15:03
  is actually being very impulsive and reactive on things.
• 15:06
  You know, and until such time,
• 15:07
  you can be much more thoughtful and intentional.
• 15:12
  you know maybe that's what you're you're learning underneath this and until you can you know not be
• 15:17
  so strategic and measured you know which is the other extreme you know maybe you might hit that
• 15:23
  extreme at some point and then it's time to pull it back so here's the kind of in in internal work
• 15:29
  you know perspective of it I would say when we learn something new so like you know let's say
• 15:34
  you're learning to maybe let's call it not be reactive or impulsive the first thing might be
• 15:41
  go too much this way.
• 15:43
  And then you'll start to work
• 15:45
  in the opposite end of the spectrum
• 15:47
  and you go too much the other way.
• 15:49
  So you really cut yourself down
• 15:51
  or you really start to get disciplined,
• 15:55
  let's say, put it on the list.
• 15:56
  But then you put everything on the list so much
• 15:58
  that there's no room for any creativity,
• 16:00
  no room for any being in the moment in life,
• 16:05
  let's say, which you could say
• 16:07
  is the other end of the extreme.
• 16:10
  tend to hit the extremes and then as you work on refine and calibrate you'll stand to then find
• 16:15
  like a middle ground you know i've talked about this when it's come when it comes to do with yoga
• 16:19
  and teaching yoga but actually in almost any skill or area that we are learning or growing in
• 16:27
  one of the ways we learn is that we go too little too much too little too much too little too much
• 16:32
  and then eventually we kind of like calibrate when we work out like okay this is a good kind
• 16:35
  a medium ground that I can work on or like you know above average and like this this is my level
• 16:41
  that I want to be in you know when that is let's say the two ends of the extreme of the thing that
• 16:46
  you are you're learning um so there's my inner work perspective on on that question I hope that's
• 16:54
  useful
