RE: Big Things Happen When You Get Small
I knew I had left out something, that's right. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and with those inner dashes, we might reveal something big that was hidden inside of us.
Thanks for looking in!
I've been looking in for a while, I do it every time I do healing work or address an emotional flashback. It's the only way to deal with rage when it hits me and in difficult situations if I want to feel good and heal myself.
So I guess we can say that we're both "looking inners"? Look inners? lol
I do something similar when I am being mindful; I'll center myself, inside as much as possible, and all of the wild emotions and their prescribed reactions seem to be left 'out there' on the perimeter. I can come out of the middle with the most irritating logic and reason sometimes, I've been told.
Hehe nice. When I do intensive EFT with my therapist, we look within and narrow in on things, but at the same time from the perspective of an outsider, so that I,m not caught in the same emotions as when the trauma wound hits me. That way, I observe how it makes me feel, how I typically react to it, how it felt back then, and know that right here and now I am okay and I am safe. It allows me to get to the root of hidden things, make them macro so that they are visible to me, and work them in a safe way, so that they heal, not shrink, but heal. And then that trigger goes away. But if I keep it small and buried, I can never see it or heal it. And I did that for a long time before everything boiled over. It's important to look within and make big the small hidden things because those hidden things seem small, but they overpower the big good things that shrink if there is no healing. Healing makes room for the good to grow and the bad to transform.
