THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Throat Chakra

« Last post by Louis H on October 07, 2022 »

Hello John. A pleasure to be able to communicate and I’ve had a really interesting time reading through some of the other forum questions. I’m happy that there are so many invested readers.

I actually read your first book some years ago but have recently come back to it as I’m currently in the middle of quite a painful time. I’m a singer songwriter much like yourself and perform in small venues all over Bucharest. I’m still trying to fully understand the notion of chakras and how one in particular is causing me a lot of discomfort and affecting my career at the minute. I’ve noticed over the past year during speaking to people that my throat becomes extremely tight and I find it very hard to fully project my voice. It almost feels like there is no energetic force in my larynx and it causes me to sometimes trip over words and slur sentences. It has now trickled over into my tongue function (or lack of) and I can’t seem to fully enunciate words. I know that my resistance of the painful feeling in this area of my body as well as associated feelings like frustration and panic make it worse but at the same time, I am finding it extremely difficult to accept and experience the blockage as it is now really starting to hinder my music career. To accept it feels somewhat counter intuitive although I know that it isn’t! How can I accept these feelings when the come up in the middle of a performance? Does the fact I have this dilemma point to a deeper cause such as me not feeling worthy of being heard etc or is it simply down to the fact that I am resisting the physical pain? Also, is there anything else that is worthy of knowing about the throat chakra that would help fellow singers? It is definitely not spoken about enough in this industry, at least where I’m from.  Thanks so much. I hope you can shed some light on this for me.

Kind Regards

Louis

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: Pain on the left hand feminine side of the body

John Thanks for getting back and for advice

I had never considered actually taking physical pain through the steps , this is something I must try. Also the Body work sounds like an obvious good idea that I can look into.

Regarding an emotion I detect deep anger when I kind of scan that area  or sit with it  with intent. My hunch is that its the rage of the suppressed feminine trying to come back into balance

When we encounter energetic blockages like this, our main strategy is to just be present with it, applying the steps of the process. It's always good to review if you are observing the steps optimally while breathing into the perceived blockage, for example, the acceptance step can often be improved - am I truly accepting, is there still unconscious resistance to the sensations?

You can keep working with the physical-energetic sensations and at some point we would expect some emotions/feelings to come up, which you have not described, except for the reference to the possibly suppressed feminine.

My favorite method of determining inner male/female balance is to observe the affinity for the light and the earth in the induction. Also, of course, you can just objectively evaluate your personality characteristics and judge if one is overriding the other and then deliberately cultivate the undeveloped side with activities and attitude shifts.

Body work is always helpful and highly recommended with body sensations, especially a hatha yoga practice that would stretch out that area of the body.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Pain on the left hand feminine side of the body

« Last post by jambonsambo on August 25, 2022 »

Hi John,

I was listening to your podcast titled: Severe Trauma / left Brain Dominance /Inner male and female.

In it one of the participants mentions pain and blockage in the feminine left side of the body.

I am experiencing for nearly a year now a very intense and often debillitating dull ache under my left armpit. It feels like an upward force that is unable to move past an obstruction. It some times migrates upwards through the throat and into the head and will cause the third eye area in the centre of the forehead to pulse and feel like there is something rotating in there. This aspect is quite pleasant and very calming. I imagine that when this force reaches that centre it activates some kind of calming parasympathetic nervous system circuitry.

Then the cycle begins again with the very uncomfortable pressure buliding beneth the armpit again.I should add that medically I have been physically examined and nothing shows up of note.


Reflecting on the content of the podcast I am suspecting there is some sort of blockage to feminie energy on that side of my body. I grew up in what in retrospect was a kind of toxicly masculine environment, going to an all male school and being surrounded by very macho sports coach type male role models. The feminine was deeply supressed and openly mocked and made to be seen as a shameful aspect of personality. In my home I did not have a mother due to bereavement so the feminie was absent there too.

Have you any thoughts on trying to work on this blockage and help this energy flow more freely or experiences from the peope you have worked with through the lens of emotional clearing?

Thanks again,

Jam

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: Burning Karma

« Last post by John Ruskan on August 24, 2022 »

I think you have explained it beautifully and correctly. Burning Karma in my understanding usually means the surrender to difficulty with equanimity, understanding that the negativity encountered in the world is a karmic debt that must be paid off. In our work, we take it a step further and recognize that if we release the inner negativity through meditative processing, we no longer have the need to attract difficult experiences in the outer world. With regard to the revenge, your thoughts are correct  - if one party no longer blames and seeks revenge, they are released from the bond with the other, and the other will then have to work out the negative energy in other ways, by attracting other conflict, for example.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Burning Karma

« Last post by jambonsambo on August 24, 2022 »

John one of the ideas that really stuck with me from your books is this idea that the negativity and suppressed emotional energy in us attracts circumstances and situations which serve to bring up the stuck emotional energy for clearing.

So I take it that if we are to conciously move towards our suppressed uncomfortable emotional material with the intention of taking it through the process then by experiencing and thus clearing this negativity voluntarily we wont need that car crash or that illness or drama or negative event which seems to come out of nowhere or at least we will have lessend the frequency of such things in our lives.

This makes a lot of sense to me and not just even on a slightly Woo Woo level but in a very practical sense as person who has less anger or sadness in the subconcious will have a better nervous system and will think clearer and make better decisions across the board and thus have less seemingly random mishaps or misfortunes.

Taking it a bit futher , Id like to hear your thoughts on this ; I was thinking about an interplay of karma involving people who may be locked into say a revenge feud or some sort of drama.

But if one of the party, say "A" is concious and can sit with their part of the negativity then they cut a kind of karmic bond linking them with "B" so that they no longer need to go though any sort of Drama with "B"  to resolve that low frequcncy of emotion. You could say that "A"s contractual obligation with that Karma is fufilled and is no longer an attractive source of Drama for "B" in that relationship/situation. Unless the other "B" does similar work then they will attract the negative events required to bring to light their share of the suppressed energies but these events will not involve "A"  as  they have cut that Karmic bond.

I have heard the term " Burning up Karma" before  , and this term seems appropriate here. I was thinking about it in the sense of revenge or vengence between two people which is very cyclical and seems to create an endless cycle of Karma. The phrase "revenge is in the hands of the creator" is spoken by an indian in the movie "the Revenant" as he explains that his family was murdered by rivals , his heart bleeds but he does not seek revenge. This seems like another way of wording what I was trying to illustrate in the paragraph above that it is not up to us to be agents of karma but only to work with our own material and any balancing out or "justice " that needs to happen will naturally come about as the other parties negativity attracts such into their lives.

Sorry for waffling on a bit ,
Enjoying the new podcast,
Jam

When I say to get out of your head and get into your body what I mean is to get out of the thinking, left-brain mind and get centered in the feelings, which are primarily located in the body. If you have a physical feeling in the head, there is no problem focusing there as you process the sensations associated with it. Pressure in the head relates to an energetic congestion. Treat it like you would any body sensation - apply the process to it. Feel it on a physical level, and then if emotional feelings come up, shift to them.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / pressure

John hi,
This is Andrej here and I live in Brazil for over 20 years.

First of all congratulations for excellent work!

Past few days I was going through your vídeos and felt good relief.
Got separetad 3 years ago, lost good contact from before with my two daughters and
found myself in difficult financial situation.

The question I have is regarding when you say that I go from my head to my body, to feel it.
Most of the pressure I feel is actually in my head and my neck, so I still feel it in my head...

Kindest regards
Andrej

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: Depersonalisation

Hi John, thank you for the response. Yes, I agree with the point you made about being too concerned with connecting to the higher self. Maybe I should just wait for it to come organically. You say that witnessing is the best way to experience a sense of the higher self. That's probably something I've forgotten since reading your books, so thank you for reminding me, but I think it is impossible to enter the witness without a deep understanding of what it is and why it is so important. I have tried to enter the witness whilst not really emphasizing a left brain explanation of it to myself and it never works. Maybe this is a good example of the placebo in modern science- you have to truly understand what it is you are doing and why you are doing it in order for it to create an impact on your health and wellbeing. If you go into something with no real confidence relating to what it is you're doing (in this case it would be the knowingness that I'm entering meditation to clear karma and purge myself of pent up emotions) then it's never going to be successful. And I don't personally believe in the protective light/earth notion so its going to be very hard for it to work for me. That is why I was emphasizing the question of staying anchored to all of the info in your books when meditating, which seems to be the antidote to my airiness a lot of the time. Thank you for the reply. And I am going to research David Icke; sounds very interesting!
