Lately, I have been noticing that one of the biggest blocks to healing has been the expectations of how that healing will show up.
This often happens at a client’s second breath session. Sometimes my client wants the same experience as the first breathe. Other times, they are afraid they may have as intense of an experience as they did before.
Thoughts like “Nothing is happening,” “This is not what I expected,” or “This isn’t what happened last time” holds back the possibilities of what is actually arising, releasing, and evolving.
This has been such a good reminder for me in my ‘everyday’ life.
I still get irritated when things don’t happen how I want- including UPS deliveries, internet malfunctions, and listening to the news. Being aware of how my expectations keep me from being present helps me hold it all much more gracefully—my resistance, the present situation, and all possibilities beyond my current state of awareness.
