❄️❄️Think about ice plunge therapy as an example. Essentially, amongst so many other benefits, we find that adjusting to the cold temperature requires the ability to focus on your body and breathing and not on your thoughts! Your thoughts will create a bombardment of discomfort, and if you allow it, will shorten your stay in the cold water, not lengthen it!
Why is that?
The unconscious thinking part of our brain produces thoughts that are based on the patterns of past wounds and on basic protection and survival. The thoughts you say you're thinking are really being fed to you unconsciously by your conditioning. Being OK is believed to be the most important condition in that part of your brain.
But, as souls in this human experience, we won't always be OK! Very often, we will feel heavy energies from different emotions in our bodies because of experiences we are having. And that is OK. Very often, we will feel heavy energies because of the different thoughts that we are having. And that is OK too. There has to be a way to teach the body and the mind that not being OK in this moment is still safe and OK.
