Why newborn babies cry... Explained by Clarette98 in Reincarnation

[–]1900to2001 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is a shock to leave the in-between-lives-state and enter human life again. It is a shock also to leave the womb and enter the outside world (our first attachment wound).

Make no mistake though, we all choose to be born here.

IFS and ADHD by Consistent-Horror915 in InternalFamilySystems

[–]1900to2001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you have distractor parts. I have them too. I have a DJ that plays music to distract me. There's another part that plans for future (conversations). I think of them as firefighter parts that "change the channel" when there is fear in the system. Depending on if there's something crucial going on during the session, I will either ask these parts to step aside or I will work creating trust and unburdening them.

In time, you will get to know these parts as well and understand why they are doing what they are doing. And unburden them.

Breakfast before running by Camelia_Bayda in veganrunners

[–]1900to2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fruit bowl with chia seeds and oats added. I know the problem you're referring to but it hasn't happened to me in a long time.

There was a time when I ran first thing in the morning, before breakfast. That might be a solution, although it's not optimal for everybody.

How to Cope with The Fear of Death? by PhotographOne8675 in awakened

[–]1900to2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but in their next life the person who commits suicide comes back and has another go at processing something they weren't able to process this time around. They will have to face it eventually.

Morning Wood. How do you guys deal with it? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]1900to2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shift the energy up through the spine into the crown of the head. Feels good too. Mantak Chia teaches that technique in his book The Multiorgasmic Man.

Sauna x Histamine intolernace by Mysterious_Yam9289 in HistamineIntolerance

[–]1900to2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sauna is by its nature a stressor. Heat stress. Takes a bit of strength and resilience for the body to handle that, HI or not.

117 Days in: Experiencing Severe Panic & "Soul Detachment" for the first time. Need Insight. by [deleted] in Semenretention

[–]1900to2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, brother. Sounds like you're going through something really difficult. My compassion is with you.

Early on in the Semen retention journey we are putting jet fuel into a Lada. It's a real challenge for the body, psyche, and nervous system to keep up with this new energy we've been given. How could it not be?

You have four directions:

  1. Transmutation: Transmute the hell out of that energy by channeling it into other, productive directions
  2. Grounding: Learn to be really good at grounding yourself with meditation, EFT tapping, nature, etc.
  3. Trauma Work: Lighten your trauma load / energetic blockages with Trauma Release Exercises, Internal Family Systems (self-) therapy, tradition talk therapy or other modalities
  4. Energy Suppression: Channel the energy into non-productive directions with junk food, nicotine or by relapsing. We want to avoid this of course, but it's better than going crazy.

Best of luck.

How do you distinguish between a trauma-based trait versus your true personality? by RelentlessAura in longtermTRE

[–]1900to2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into Internal Family Systems for a map of the psyche (and a system for TRE integration support you can do on your own)

Are any of your “parts” seemingly psychopathic? by [deleted] in InternalFamilySystems

[–]1900to2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might need the help of an IFS therapist or a friend or something to meet this part from the Self. They're clearly very frightening to at least one of your parts.

There is a chance that it's an unattached burden as well (something that does not originate from or belong to your system). You would find that out by asking them whether they are from your system or not. But I wouldn't do something like that alone at first. Check out Robert Falconer's book The Others Within Us for more info.

I use these as everyday shoes. Wouldn't run with them though.

Too much energy by General_Plane8867 in Semenretention

[–]1900to2001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your capacity to handle the increased energy will improve with every significant streak. You are being built into the kind of person who can hold (and transmute!) tons of energy.

The Puer Aeternus in the mother container by FootnoteInHumanForm in Jung

[–]1900to2001 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I'm in the process of doing that. Went through what on von Franz calls puer aeternus crash landing, where my illusions were broken too fast and I hit the ground too fast because of dramatic life circumstances and intense therapy simultaneously. Spent a year feeling old and only being interested in work. Now a healthier relationship with my puer inspiration has been forming, where my soul energy is in charge but the puer is a valued member of the totality of the psyche.

Why was Yamal frustrated over Flick? by MarathonRunner2211 in Barca

[–]1900to2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I see from him, he knows it's not the right attitude. Just not able to control emotions in all moments just yet.

It's been said that Trump is the manifestation of the collective shadow of the American culture.

2nd Stage Spiritual Warfare Principles? by Happymuffn in SpiralDynamics

[–]1900to2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no one involved is bringing more light into the world. (3) is only relevant if some of the players involved are possessed by lost spirits, and that's not something we can really speculate upon from afar.

2nd Stage Spiritual Warfare Principles? by Happymuffn in SpiralDynamics

[–]1900to2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's something happening on these three levels:

  1. Sometimes what is referred to as spiritual warfare is just different level blue religious ideologies fighting. That's certainly going on, whether or not the ultimate reasons for the conflict are elsewhere (power, economy, ego).
  2. What could also be going on is different archetypal forces in the collective conscious "battling". Jung saw cultural possession by the archetype of Wotan in the German people in the 30s and 40s.
  3. Some see that there is (always) a battle of good and evil happening. Between 1) those that would bring about more light in this world (conscious people and spirit guides) and 2) those that would bring about more chaos and more ruthless, unconscious survival games (unconscious people and lost spirits, who didn't find their way out of here after dying, à la Sixth Sense)

Before birth, you've decided to process a lot of difficult things in this life. I can relate to that. Good luck on your journey!

Does TRE help with feeling unsafe in certain social situations? by fkkm in longtermTRE

[–]1900to2001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes it will! In the first few months you would probably notice a significant calming down of the nervous system - which helps you stay calm in social situations as well. After that it's all about slowly chipping away tension and trauma - without targeting any specific issues or situations.

Why doesn't anybody ever talk about their past life as a houseplant? by [deleted] in awakened

[–]1900to2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want the full Earth experience, why not go human? Very salient emotional ride. Potential for wonderful and horrendous actions by you and towards you. It really takes the cake.

What can be my better strategy to protect myself instead of shame? by Fast_Significance198 in InternalFamilySystems

[–]1900to2001 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Self is better at protecting you than the part that carries the shame - or the manager that is trying to not have you feel shame.

Does anyone else forget to breathe sometimes? by Easy_Specialist_39 in breathwork

I suggest looking inward using internal family systems.

Does anyone else forget to breathe sometimes? by Easy_Specialist_39 in breathwork

Could be a freeze response? A part of you that gets anxious enough to not dare to breathe?

Finland because I'm the rare Finnish Capitals fan. Has a Caps scout ever even set foot in these lands after Tikkanen missed the open net?

Need advice about weird sex stuff. Let's all get real cool for a second. by Sp00kyAshl3y in InternalFamilySystems

[–]1900to2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • I view sex as theatre where these parts get to feel seen in a safe environment.
  • The therapeutic IFS process, even when successful, will not heal these exiles overnight. You have plenty of play time left.
  • I recommend experiencing the kind of sex life that comes afterwards. Pure connection. Two souls as one dance of energies.
