Does Anything Need to be Done?

Does Anything Need to Be Done?
 
After writing about pain and its meanings last week, I noticed myself having a lot of conversations about pain in the office this week. Ha! Of course.
 
I began to see deeper into pain as part of our healing response or part of our body's innate health and repair systems. I also saw that "pain" can be broadened in this context to include uncomfortable feelings or emotions we don't like.  Also, tiredness or fatigue fits into this category.
 
Hmmm. "Tell me more Dr. Sara," you say. Lol.
 
With many healing approaches including Spinal Entrainments and also including resting in our true nature, the body starts to wake up as it lets go of tension and tightness.
 
When an area of the body has been functioning in a defense mode for a while (longer than a day) and it starts to let go, your brain registers this change and can more accurately assess what is going on in that body area. You get real-time feedback. This is the deeper power of opening up.
 
You can more accurately "see" reality as it is.
 
Your own body can then decide "Does anything more need to be done?".  Often the answer is "Not right now" - just continue the process of letting go and releasing tension. Let the brain and body synchronize to unwind. This process may create uncomfortable sensations because your brain will be registering all the tightness that is still there and figuring out how to heal it.
 
Your own deeper wisdom is the most important voice to listen to. I can give information or what I know from working with lots of people for lots of years. However, your quiet voice of knowing knows.
 
Hint: This voice is always neutral and usually quiet. If you are feeling scared, angry, or anxious, don't listen.
 
As people's bodies start to open up and get back to their natural fluidity with entrainments, with sitting in a space of "no thought", it can start to hurt here and there. Or some people feel exhausted. This is like a detox. It takes energy. Sometimes a cellular replacement process needs to complete.
 
When people have been low on sleep and they start to get better sleep again, they invariably feel tired when they wake up. This is how you know you've switched from being chronically unrested to getting back to being rested. When you have replenished your "rested" tank or reserve again, you'll wake up feeling rested and refreshed. It takes longer than you want it to.
 
These are all examples of how the body goes through the process of opening up, letting go, and beginning to heal.
 
In a space of relaxation, you can neutrally ask yourself, "Does anything more need to be done?" and see what comes up and how that feels.
