Lessons of Freedom and Healing from Nelson Mandela

by Caryl Westmore on July 5, 2010

NELSON MANDELA, Nobel Peace prize winner and world symbol of hope and forgiveness in the face of crushing odds, turns 92 on July 18, 2010.

Willing to fight, and if necessary die, for democratic freedom for black and white people alike, Mandela later wrote after his release from 27 years of imprisonment: “It was during those long and lonely years that I knew as well as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed…for both alike are robbed of their humanity.”

Nelson Mandela may have been confined by his captors to a tiny cell on Robben Island, near Capetown. But in his mind and heart he was free. And lived to claim his freedom. He became the first President of a free, non-racial South Africa, 1994-1998.
ARE YOU TRULY FREE?
Or do you live in the self-imposed prison of your mind and heart? My website and blog offer you some of the most powerful and effective tools I know to help you break free fast from destructive thoughts, feelings and beliefs.

Negativity tends to create a downward spiral…”the worse you get, the worse life gets.”

Positivity magnetizes more of itself in a magical way.

Many spiritual masters talk about finding the “middle way” often described as unity consciousness, Nivarna, or “enlightenment.”

POLARITY TOOL
Leslie Temple-Thurston is a South African-born teacher-healer-author who lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Growing up in South Africa during the oppressive days of Apartheid motivated her spiritual quest to heal the extreme polarizations in human consciousness that divide people and drive them to the most inhumane policies and conduct.

Her work releases us from our small Ego to access the LUMINOUS CORE or DIVINE SELF within.
# Step 1. Pick a “bad” or troubling experience. Either recent or way back from childhood.

# Step 2. Write it out – feelings, thoughts, state of mind, like a child spilling out the story to a friend or parent.
Be descriptive and include all you felt about the person/people involved.

# Step 3. Pick out the most charged THEME words and phrases with a coloured marker
or highlighter. For example, words like ANGER, SHOCK, GUILT, HELPLESS,CONFUSED, PAIN, INSENSITIVE JERK

# Step 4. Make a list of THEME WORDS & PHRASES.

# STEP 5. Find the OPPOSITES.

So having listed the Theme words on the left hand side of a page – draw a line.Then list the OPPOSITE of each word on the right hand side of the page.

You are delving into your unconscious and will often get an AHA as the hidden side of the dark/light; good/bad polarity awakens within you.

# STEP 6. GIVE IT UP TO SPIRIT WITH A PRAYER
Ask higher consciousness to take these polarized states of mind, and bring them into balance… so that clarity and a new level of seeing come to you.

NB offer up both Positive and Negative sides of the Polarity.Then GIVE THANKS, knowing all will be well.

# Step 7. WAIT FOR GRACE.
Wait a few minutes. Wash dishes or make a cup of tea. You may feel an inner shift or later have vivid dreams. Next day you may even experience a meaningful insight.

Leslie Temple-Thurston offers other polarity-balancing exercises called TRIANGLES and SQUARES in her book THE MARRIAGE OF SPIRIT .

Collapsing the story the Ego seeks to polarize you with, helps you to detach from extreme points of view. Notice the shifts that occur in your life as a result of the Polarity Work.

Expect to become centred, balanced, relaxed and joyful. Leslie calls it SKYWALKING…

Michael Jackson and healing trauma in the “Inner Child” or ECHO

Michael Jackson: 5 Lessons to Heal or Change Your Life

Michael Jackson: 5 Lessons to Heal or Change Your Life

Today being the one-year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death, it seems an appropriate time to remember and re-focus on the benefits of healing the “inner child” of past pain and trauma with energy tools like EFT tapping with Matrix Reimprinting. When I wrote Michael Jackson: 5 Lessons to Heal of Change Your Life as an e-book (download free when you sign up now) and later recorded the audio, it was a few weeks after Michael’s passing.  I was filled with compassion as replays of interviews with him, pointed to his longing and sadness about his “lost childhood”.

NEW INSIGHTS ON TRAUMA Since then, I have trained with Karl Dawson and Sasha Allenby, co-authors of the soon to be released book on Matrix Reimprinting using EFT. They refer to this childhood part of us as an ECHO (Energy Consciousness Hologram) and describe it as energy that gets stuck or “frozen” in time in terms of the fight, flight or freeze syndrome.

My clients often report feelings of shame and low self-worth when they think back to a childhood or teen memory when they did not fight back – or run away –  but felt frozen on the spot, silent in the face of threat. “Why didn’t I say ‘STOP’?” they often ask me. The answer is because in the wild when an animal is being chased by a predator and losing hope of escape, they will collapse or freeze – a last resort which releases a flood of endorphins which will minimize the pain of an attack, should it occur.

A key factor here is explained in the work of trauma specialist Dr Robert Scaer, author of The Body Bears the Burden. Trauma is particularly damaging to children because it ruptures their boundaries necessary for feelings of safety – and this usually continues through into their feelings of being unsafe in the world as adults In the wild, an animal will shake, breathe quickly and perspire before running off.

But humans don’t have that releasing response. Hence the danger of long-held traumas frozen in time in our energy field…the body eventually cannot keep them at bay and they start to leak through to damage our health and well being. Today we can help release and repair the damage of traumas, big and small, to our inner child or ECHO.

For Michael Jackson, sadly this was not an option – but if we can learn something from that aspect of his life, we can contribute our bit to “save the world and make it a better place for you and me and the whole human race”.

Weight Loss Easy, Simple with Law of Attraction

by Caryl Westmore on May 31, 2010

Since I became a Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner recently with Karl Dawson, EFT Master Trainer and the inspired originator of the Matrix Reimprinting technique, I am exuberant, joyous, thrilled to realize that it holds the key to weight issues.  Why?  Because if you experience stressful traumas and life events going back to your earliest childhood, then these are lodged in your energy matrix and so your cells are on “protect” fight-flight-freeze alert.

So you can see immediately that healing past traumas in the Matrix is the key to weight loss, easy, simple. This wonderful Abraham-Hicks video says it too – it’s all about shifting your energy downstream.

If you too are interested in adjusting and normalizing YOUR WEIGHT to slim, energetic and tip-top healthy, then enjoy the video!
