The unbalancing is not something we can avoid, nobody escapes! So, there is no judgement here for anyone. Our minds become imbalanced and this is a natural occurrence because our individual internal strategy (or, script behaviour) for survival conflicts with parental and societal constraints/rules for living.
The result, for most of us, is a deep longing to "be free"! From what, we are not sure of because we are unaware of what is causing our imbalance but we just know, in the back of our mind, that all is not right in our life and we strive to make it better.
We reach out to others who are also caught up in this deep struggle. We look to find people who will rescue us from our perceived strife and we look to save others too. We perceive ourselves as an underdog and therefore have great, natural sympathy for other underdogs, compassionately doing all we can to help those we see are being exploited by tyrannical governments or corporations or those afflicted by natural disasters.
It is our need to rescue or save that drives us to fall in love so easily and often, so blindly.
As life progresses, so too does our self fulfilling prophesy that we will never make sense of this awful world or this complicated life. The relationships we choose are all too often doomed to fail because we were not initially motivated by the right reasons for choosing a mate, instead our judgement was clouded by the rescue or save senses in our mind.
The further along the path of progression we go, the more our imbalance affects us so to pull ourselves out of this uncertain, unknown realm, we need to find our centre and refocus our minds in our adult state.
Centring:
The best method I have found for centring you mind is to use a time line.
- Close your eyes and relax
- Think of one these shapes: SQUARE -- CIRCLE -- TRIANGLE -- PYRAMID
- Focus on where you envisage the centre of your mind to be and place your chosen shape there
- Once you are comfortable with your shape being in the centre of your mind, think about what direction you would point to if someone asked you to point to your past. Now do the same for your future. Once you know what direction your past and your future lie in, envisage a line connecting the two points using your shape as the centre of that line. This is your time line
- Relax some more
- Mentally lift yourself above your time line and look back towards your past. Imagine you can see your earliest memory as a block attached to the line. If you need to travel down your line or lift yourself higher in order to see that far then do so. Be sure you are comfortable with the memory you have chosen, be as certain as you can be that it is your earliest
- Mentally come back to the present time on your time line
- Relax some more
- Consider for a few moments the stress/depression/confusion/frustration that has brought you to this point in your life; this crossroads you are at where are now choosing a new direction to take yourself in. Do you really want to travel in a new direction? YES! Are you now choosing to travel in this new direction? YES! Can you feel yourself beginning to travel in this new direction? YES!
- Look along your time line to the future. Envisage a point along this line where you have accomplished your freedom. You have travelled in your new direction and moved out of your point of stress/depression/confusion/frustration and found freedom. Can you see that point on your time line? Is it marked as a block? GOOD! This is your freedom point! Now travel along your time line to this point and hover above it. Consider it and begin to feel the emotion that it represents. Now move along the time line again to a new point about half an hour after your freedom point and allow yourself to land in that moment. Now look back at your freedom point.
- Amazing, Yes? Wow, I bet you cannot believe how easy it was to get out of your present state right?
- Feel this. Breathe this new found freedom you have discovered. dwell in it for a few minutes.
- Now travel back to the present time which is the centre of your line, beneath which is your chosen shape which you placed in the centre of your mind. take the feeling of freedom with you. Allow your positivity to envelop you. Now land back onto your time line and passing through your chosen shape, when you feel comfortable to do so, open your eyes and come back into your reality.
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE CENTRED YOURSELF AND FOUND THE ELUSIVE FREEDOM YOU HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR. FROM NOW ON NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME. EVERYTHING FOR YOU WILL BE A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. TRUST THIS AND MOVE ONTO THE NEXT STAGE OF YOUR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.
