With the pursuit of inner peace and spiritual growth as your destiny, the journey often involves confronting and releasing internal blockages and pain. This process requires more than just breath work it involves delving deep into our emotional landscape to uncover the root causes of our discomfort. By integrating the practice of looking for internal pain spots and feeling them, we can come to a profound understanding of ourselves, leading to acceptance and eventual release.
Understanding Internal Pain Spots
Internal pain spots are emotional wounds and traumas that we carry within us. These wounds may manifest as feelings of sadness, anger, resentment, or fear, and they often reside deep within our heart space, affecting our thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. By acknowledging and confronting these pain spots, we can begin the process of healing and transformation.
Practice By Integrating Breathwork with Internal Exploration.
Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can sit or lie down without distractions. Close your eyes and take a few moments to center yourself, focusing on your breath and setting the intention to explore your internal landscape with compassion and openness. Begin by engaging in deep belly breathing, allowing your breath to flow smoothly and rhythmically. With each inhale, envision drawing in healing energy from the earth below and light from the central sun of the cosmos. With each exhale, release and tension and resistance from your body and mind. Scan your body and bring your awareness to your heart space and gently start a scan of your body for areas of discomfort or tension. Notice any areas that feel heavy, constricted, or painful. These are your internal pain spots, signaling areas in need of attention and healing.
Feel and Acknowledge
As you identify these internal pain spots, allow yourself to fully feel the emotions and sensations associated with them. Without judgment or resistance, simply acknowledge their presence and allow yourself to sit with them. Notice any thoughts or memories that arise, and observe them with curiosity and compassion.
Seek Understanding With Focused Intent.
With each breath, gently inquire into the nature of your internal pain spots. What underlying emotions or experiences are they connected to? What beliefs or patterns are they reinforcing? Allow yourself to delve deep into the layers of your subconscious mind, seeking clarity and understanding.
Move to Acceptance
As you come to a deeper understanding of your internal pain spots, practice accepting them with love and compassion. Embrace these wounded aspects of yourself as integral parts of your journey, recognizing that they hold valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. Be truly honest and accept yourself for who you are in the entire fullness of your light and dark aspects.
Release with Breath
With each exhale, visualize releasing the grip of these internal pain spots, allowing them to dissolve into the light of your heart space. As you breathe out, offer yourself forgiveness and liberation from the burdens of the past. Take a few moments to bask in the sense of peace and release that comes from confronting and releasing your internal pain spots. Express gratitude to yourself for your courage and willingness to engage in this transformative practice.
Final Thoughts
Integrating the breath work with the internal exploration and reflection is a powerful way to clear out your heart space and access your higher heart chambers.
