Hi I would like to share a technique Ive learnt with my therapist. Its called SHIP therapy.The theory behing it is that the body stores pain,emotional pain.If for example as a child you were rejected by your mother,not knowing how to emotionally process those feelings you stores it somewhereand it wasnt adaquetly released.There are many times that all of us just ignore emotions and assume it goes away.It doesnt,if not released it stays within the body.
Physically this causes illness. Emotionally,this is energy and energy can either be classified as positive or negative. Hence the negative energy stored within vibrates with a negative current,and this is where the ATTRACTION part comes in. We attract what we reflect from our inside.
anyway...You lie on your back and close your eyes.Concerntrating on your breathing.
You then picture a person or event from you past(anything or anyone of significance).Once you do this you will feel pain in the body,rather a sensation,either nubmness or tingling,sometimes throbbing.
Locate where the feeling is in the body.Imagine that feeling is a bubble of energy,imagine in your mind that you can penetrate that bubble with your body or a weapon.Once you've done this the bubble dissolves.
The pain/sensation usually moves through your body,the trick is to stay with the feeling wherever it moves within the body.
Remember to breath.Its very easy to become tight in the throat area.Notice this when you want to cry.Dont tense up the throat.Breath as much and deeply as possible.
Any questions please ask.

This is an awesome technique! Have tried it a couple times - the bubble-popping thing. The pain keeps running around to new spots and I visualize following it and popping it till it's gone. Feels good. Breathing is so key too. It feels so great to cry sometimes.

Glad that this helped.Yes the pain moves all the time this signifies how painful emotions stay trapped in our bodies.Breathing is key.

I'm interested in this technique. When doing this do I follow it till vanishes? Does it vanish as in, not going to try to live inside me anymore?
I can see this a great way to at least be in the practice of feeling. This past year with my PoA has especially surpressed my feelings. Before that I could express them, but it wouldn't change the course my H would take (take me along because we were married), so I would just ignore how I felt since we too had a take or leave it deal. Prior, supressed because of upbringing...anyway, I'd love to start this soon, just want to know a bit more. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks, I am dealing with some greif right now...and it is living in my heart and throat area. I find my breathing is keeping it down somehow, probably because it is really old, and there is fear of feeling it. This feeling has tried to come up before, and I would run to my POA. Even now as I write this, I see his face...but I know I must face this alone. I will find a safe spot when no one is around. Thanks again.

Thanks, I agree that this is very helpful. Also I'm going to start EMDR soon, another way to focus on traumatic experiences/feelings and hopefully dissolve them. I'll keep you posted.

I've realized lately (on the trip to Budapest) that my inner child is very sensitive and needs a lot of time and activities dedicated to "unwinding". Among which is taking a bath. I didn't have one, just a very small shower, but today I bought a large storage box at the Ikea and it works perfectly! Just came out of it, very relaxed. I'm still contemplating on a massage cushion. I feel happy, child feels happy, all good and peace. Love, Moonlight
