63 - Life Perspective
I know a good many people who are psychotherapists, their clients, and more
often than not, both, and it seems that the following exercise is rarely, if
ever attempted.
It is really quite simple.
We get ourselves another sheet of paper, or of virtual paper, and write our own
life history down, nicely and linear and in short data format.
That might look like this:
1945 – Born in Denver, Colorado. Parents librarians. Twin dies at birth.
1945 – Spent two month in hospital for failure to thrive.
1946 – Raised by grandmother after death of parents.
1947 – Falls out of 1st story window after learning to walk.
1949 – Grandmother dies. Learns to play piano in orphanage.
... and so on, until you reach today.
You can leave it for a week or so in case there’s something which needs to be
added as you think of it.
And when you have your entire life on a piece of paper, you can simply, gently
and slowly run your fingertip across those dates, that data, from beginning to
end, and make the resolution to have things put in their rightful places and
return a rightful order and sequence on as many planes as possible.
One could also, if one was to become aware of injuries in the energy body which
are always expressed by physical emotions to stop and engage in some self
healing until all flows clearly, until all is calm and lucidly aware.
One could say when that has been achieved, “Well that was the past ...” and
throw the paper away, into an ocean, a dust bin or burn it instead.
And begin to turn our attention towards the now, and a whole different future.
