Healing Emotional Stress & Physical Anxiety From The Now…by Rik Center

In the process of recognizing a sense of discomfort, stress or an unwanted pain, we may observe that many times our reactive state sits in judgment of the experience; right or wrong and/or good and bad. In healing deep wounding, we want to invite in the possibility of sitting with the inner body sensation of the experience vs. the built in stories and thoughts that may arise around the emotional or physical pain. By keeping our focus on the sensation…our higher thought cognitive process perceptions will shift, changing the neurobiological process within our being/our body.
If we are unable to become aware of the physical felt sense, we stay trapped in a vortex of story and thought, always feeling like a victim of life. These thoughts send signals into the felt sense body which are constantly activating our autonomic nervous system, putting it into an instinctive survival mode of fight, flight or freeze syndrome. If a person can learn to reference into their sense body they will begin connecting to a somatic resource and building in new synapses into the brain. Our higher thinking brain will resource itself into the present moment, the here and now. This somatic experience may allow for a momentary drop in the perceived story of judgment or past remembrance that continues a cycle of suffering, that layer of pain that walks with us throughout our daily life.
Thought in itself feels no pain…our body is interpreting these thought impulses that are being sent through a wiring system within our biological body that feels sensation.

In the process or surrendering to our felt sense, we are not giving up our experience, rather we are choosing to be present to our experiences through our feelings, thoughts, perception, and connective muscle tissue without looking to push them away, judge them or change them. We are creating a willingness to work with the body, emotions, thoughts and perceptions just as they are. We are making a choice to heal from the now, creating an integration and equanimity balance within our neurobiological system and our thoughts.
By taking an active participatory role in our healing we are introducing a process into our brain thought patterns, which is called “mindfulness.” In this process we begin creating integration. As Dr. Dan Siegel expresses, “By bringing two opposing forces together we create integration which creates mental health and well-being.” Focusing the higher cognitive brain to stay connected to tracking sensation, we create a new synapse connection.
Creating a new neurobiological pathway will begin to alter our instinctual survival patterns, moving us away from modes of thinking that no longer serve us and that typically cause large amounts of suffering. In this mode of mindful-awareness we are laying the groundwork for new neural pathways of thinking and how we react to our world. The body is building in a natural process of feeling whole and safe without drugs or our dependency from another person or outside stimulus.
Our body can learn how to regulate itself back into homeostasis, feeling whole and creating positive boundaries within our life. Our ability to interact with the world changes as old sufferings and fears begin to loosen their grip. Feeling healthy and happy, being present and healing from this moment…not of the mind that constantly rehashes and rehearses our thoughts over and over
