Most of my Biodynamic Meditation this morning was sensing big currents of energy moving within and through me. At one point the energy condensed in my heart center and then released and swirled some more. It felt pleasurable, like heart-love feels. I was in high coherence 84 percent of the time. I’ve spent time with HeartMath in the past, then forgotten about it. Now I’m back, using a sensor during my sessions and training in The Resilient Heart to have more skill doing trauma-sensitive work with my clients. I’m a trauma survivor myself. I believe most of us are, to some degree. Maybe all of us. Who has not experienced overwhelm or shock? If you’re fortunate, you have enough resources in yourself and from others to recover. That’s resilience. If the shock is deep enough, or repeated before you can recover, it can leave imprints in your system. Recovering your resilience is possible. Biodynamic Meditation and Craniosacral Biodynamics are so helpful at increasing resilience, releasing trauma imprints, and assisting in trauma recovery. I’ll be camping at Big Bend for the next few days. Will take notes on my meditations and post when I return. #biodynamicmeditation #craniosacralbiodynamics #craniosacraltherapy #craniosacral #bcst #biodynamiccraniosacraltherapy #meditation #swirliness #energy #heartcenter #currents #pleasure #heartlove #coherence #heartmath #theresilientheart #traumaimprints #traumasensitive #resilience (at Manchaca, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CosBAsMucc2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I did something different in my Biodynamic Meditation this morning. I stayed with whole body awareness during my 45-minute session. I didn’t put much effort into labeling what was happening. I just felt my life force moving within my body and field, and it felt great. And wow! So much life force moving within me! I noticed how pleasurable it was to simply be aware of my life force energy for that entire period of time. I clipped my HeartMath sensor to my earlobe and set up the Inner Balance app for a session again. I was in high coherence 88 percent of the time today. I could see on the report that HeartMath displays after completing a session how my coherence fluctuated. It’s never a straight line. It is always changing. I just signed up for a HeartMath training called The Resilient Heart: Trauma-Sensitive HeartMath Certification. I so love learning how we can influence the autonomic nervous system since there’s just so much unhealthy stress in most of our lives. Let’s change that. Change that, change the world. #biodynamicmeditation #craniosacralbiodynamics #craniosacraltherapy #craniosacral #bcst #biodynamiccraniosacraltherapy #wholebodyawareness #lifeforce #heartmath #coherence #heartratevariability (at Manchaca, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Com3NeGOXXT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today almost got away from me! Early phone call, early client, then lunch and shopping with my granddaughter, and heavy traffic on the way home. Some days are like that! I notice that my morning energy is so much stronger than my late afternoon energy. I had a few cranial nods in this session. Tide, radiance, a bit of swirliness. Dancing tonight…gonna take a little nap! Oh! I got my first 1:1 teaching session scheduled!!! More to come. Photo by Linda Hunnicut.

Today is Day 93 of daily Biodynamic Meditations. In addition to posting daily about my experience, I am considering how to teach it. There are so many ways: one-to-one, small groups, in person, online, in written and spoken formats, as a seated meditation, as a form of yoga nidra done in savasana. Each person interested in learning this form of self-healing will come to it with different experiences and beliefs and issues. Learning this includes paradigm shifts. I believe the biggest one in our modern American culture is that healing takes place in a parasympathetic rest-and-digest state of being, NOT in a state of stress and anxiety, when resources are geared toward doing. One big conundrum for healers who understand this is how to work with people who are anxious about their chronic health issues — where the perceived threat is coming from within. Separating the anxiety-producing story from the actual sensations is a big deal. And it can be done! We can change our beliefs and our patterns toward deeper health and vitality. These are just some of my musings that arose after my session this morning, in which the healing focus was swirliness, mostly in my pelvis. I’m grateful to be able to access the energies of earth and heaven, gravity and levity. If you are a teacher and have anything useful to add, please comment, or message me. Thank you. #biodynamicmeditation #craniosacralbiodynamics #craniosacraltherapy #craniosacral #bcst #biodynamiccraniosacraltherapy #meditation #selfhealing #teaching #paradigmshift #conundrum #parasympatheticactivation #stress #anxiety #chronichealthissues #changingpatterns (at Manchaca, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cocen9QOhIL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What’s going right in your body-mind system? Many of us, myself included, have a bias toward noticing what’s wrong, what hurts, is tense, stiff, sluggish, numb, dysfunctional. We may even make up stories about what’s wrong, feeling ourselves deficient, flawed, less than, unworthy. I’m motivated to get over that! You know, if you’re not on life support in a hospital, there’s a lot that’s going right. A LOT. You’re breathing. Your heart is beating. You’re viewing this post and reading these words. You very likely are hearing sounds, if you direct your attention there. The many sensations of body awareness… Your weight pressing down into whatever you’re sitting or standing or leaning on. The sense of where you are in space, how your body is arranged, your posture. Warmth or coolness. Balance. Your many systems that keep you organized and alive: cardiovascular, pulmonary, nervous, lymphatic, digestive, immune, etc. Also, your mind. Your memories and imaginations, beliefs, motivations, identity, skills, preferences and avoidances, etc. Underlying all is your life force. Yogis call it prana. Daoists call it qi (chi, ki). I feel it when I do Biodynamic Meditation, after doing yoga or qi gong, walking in nature, having a great conversation with someone, hugging a friend, practicing Craniosacral Biodynamics, and at random times. I feel grateful for being alive. That’s what this is all about. This comes even before sensing the Tide in the central energy channel. This is Day 90 of these posts. #biodynamicmeditation #craniosacralbiodynamics #craniosacraltherapy #craniosacral #bcst #biodynamiccraniosacraltherapy #lifeforce #prana #qi #chi #ki #awareness #sensation #gratitude (at Manchaca, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVA0n8papd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wow! Today’s Biodynamic Meditation was mostly swirliness! I had again awakened early and listened to a Yoga Nidra recording on YouTube. I’ve been sampling them. Still like Liam Gillen and also now Kristyn Rose Yoga who has one with some focus on the heart chakra. I also gave 5 mini-sessions at last night’s Community Healing Circle after being unable to work this past week. Power outage at my office due to ice storm. (It’s back on now.) I was primed for a really good meditation. I breathed a few physiological sighs until I yawned (parasympathetic sign). Felt radiance at my face and then my entire head. Tide. No stillpoint unless it was brief. I wonder if the healing energy, after 3 months of daily meditations, doesn’t need stillpoints any more because it knows my system well by now. When I work on others, a stillpoint seems like a pause when the healing energy is assessing their system and gathering resources before it starts swirling. Swirliness happens when the healing energy of the Tide changes its action from regulation (ascending and descending the central energy channel) or stillpoints (gathering resources) to healing whatever is ready to be healed (swirling where it’s needed), as best I understand it experientially. Swirliness is so mysterious and magical! It has its own agenda for healing that is extremely intelligent! I believe it’s way more intelligent than any of us could possibly be. After all, it has known us deeply and intimately, from the inside out, since shortly after our conception. Sometimes it moves really fast, zipping around. Sometimes it slows down and lingers in an area. Today it touched on all my chakras and did some more realigning of my cranial bones. Usually it feels really good! Sometimes, like today with my frontal bone, there was a brief, slight sense of discomfort until the bone was aligned with its neighbors.
