Today I was listening, for the 3rd time, to a teleclass about “moving into action” and I was reminded that it always comes back to the same old thing when thinking about what is keeping me stuck, not moving forward. It’s an emotion, sure there can be learning blocks (AKA “conditioning”) in your way, but we usually are more comfortable dealing with those because we can intellectualize them, analyze them and dismiss them (i.e.: when I was 8, this happened and now I react . . . ).

Ok, if we aren’t aware of what is blocking our learning then this is a huge area to deal with. You may also discover that it is difficult to sift out the emotion from what is blocking you from new learning, which equals new experience = action. There are some really good ways to unblock your learning that I know about. You can use your body in the process, as a guide, inviting change on the energetic cellular level. My first time experiencing a deep change using one of these processes was when I was training for my BrainGym™ license. As an optimist and positive focus person, I hadn’t realized that it was safe to stay with unpleasant feelings because they would go away. I used distraction to avoid the feelings, or else I became lost in them, drowning is circular reasoning and catastrophic rationalizations, because this type of thinking only deepened the “bad” feelings. So, I was at this training and had the amazing experience of sitting with the pain – not analyzing it. I simply named what I felt as it came up, until it dissipated. It was amazing for me. My coach facilitated the process. While I sat in hook-ups she held my positive points. It was simple, elegant, easy and profound. Through that experience I learned that I didn’t have to be afraid of negative emotions because I could release their power by acknowledging them and letting them go.

After learning that via BrainGym™ I discovered the second method, which I have used for diffusing anxiety and avoidance, although I find it most helpful when my body is in motion in some repetitive task like and exercise machine. I also learned about Heartmath™ and used their methods with students to overcome anxiety. Heatmath’s™ computer technology is helpful in learning to recognize what your body is telling you about your heart/brain coherence levels, which directly impact your health and stress levels. Heartmath™ is also helpful for people that need to “see” the results in real time (on the computer screen) versus just feeling the changes. Some people aren’t able to “feel” the body sensations as easily at first and the software program FreezeFrame helps with that. In coaching I’ve found that a person can experience the same “neutralizing” of negative emotions with facilitation over the phone. In some ways it’s easier, because you don’t feel as self-conscious with your coach not physically present. Standing or sitting behind the person can serve the same purpose when doing a process in person.

You can see that I am a perfect example of a person who knows what to do but doesn’t always do it. That is why I need my own coach(s). My knowledge does not save me in anyway. It helps other people immensely, but I need help to actually USE these processes and not get stuck myself!

So what emotion mainly holds me back from action? Underneath it all is irrational fear and anxiety. When I feel those emotions I pull back and sink into the fear – which really bothers me so then I look for relief through distraction. Meanwhile, my “to-do” list grows to cartoonish proportions so the anxiety grows underneath the surface. It’s a sick cycle. Can you relate at all?
