Dreaming & Emotional energies.

[Ali]

Hello All,

 

I've been finding that a certain repetitive conflict.

 

Emotionally I want this, but dreaming energy, the long stretch says otherwise, or rather the driving force is pushing me to do something else. I haven't been able to see this and put in words until today. Knowing where my emotions are being pushed and pulled, and knowing inside of me that there is something not quite syncing in with me at the same time. It's quite confusing. What I do now when this comes up, I try to sit and not move until I can have a better sense of both.

 

I'm kinda leaning towards the knowing than the emotions.

 

any thoughts?

Ali,

 

Some thoughts:

 

Like you said, it's probably a conflict. Conflicts come from intent or emotional energy, usually. In particular, we tend to ignore our dreaming side, which lacks a lot of the thinking framework of our everyday mind. To understand that dreaming energy, the subconscious, to have to approach it in the same way it works - whether through dreaming or through not using your normal thinking process.

 

In dealing with those kinds of conflicts, I've often found it helpful to approach it indirectly. To push and prod at it directly, it's too close to me emotionally. I get no insight or clarity about it. If I instead look at it in terms of consequences and direction, it makes more sense. Kind of like in a stream where rocks are obstructing the flow of the water, I can't always look directly for the rocks, but I can look for how the water is disturbed.

 

In terms of emotional energy, you can start by looking at where you have trouble moving. Try to understand what part of things are affected, what can you "do" or "not do", as far as this part of you that is in conflict with you is concerned. Try to not care about whether it's right or wrong or how it affects you. Just look at what's going on.

 

It might kick up some dreaming things that will provide more information, or things that slip around during the day, almost unnoticeable.

 

When you have started to draw the boundaries, then you can look at it more directly and really figure out the "why" and how to change it.

 

Good luck!

Makes sense,

 

 

 

I try to sit with feeling and to sense what my own energy is doing or asking of me. But again I can see how that is still somewhat directly working with emotions still even.

 

stay more as an observer and learn I suppose but to not sit for too long I guess, then energy gets too stale and heavey.

 

Thanks Karl
