Work, Rest, Play & Study = Balance

When any one of these are lacking, some sort of decay in the physical experience is present.

This topic was given shape to me on a recent solo retreat deep in the bush. I was feeling depleted with flu like symptoms coming on. After a very intense night of fevers and delirium, the sun came up and with the mist amongst the trees, the bush flowers zinging with vibrancy for the new day, things all became clear. I was recharging by resting.

There is such a huge difference between rest and switching off. Whilst both can be relaxing the fundamental difference is the focus on the letting go and flowing with gravity.

Many of us switch off with a wine, beer, smoke or whatever medicament that hits the spot. Some sit in front of the TV watching their favourite show or gaming, slipping into fantasy worlds. Kids these days trawl through the socials snapping away. Some just rely on sleep to relax, but it’s often just another form of switching off.

I see numerous anxieties and mental anguish related disturbances from this exhaustion of not giving enough time to really rest. With all the distractions of the new age many of us have forgotten how to rest.

I've noticed that the clients I see that rely on any medications to help to switch off, often have neurological implications as if the switching off time leave the nervous system over-exposed and more sensitive when the medication wares off.

When attempting to rest, many people get distracted too easily or are too busy in the mind thinking of the work they need to do. whether it's the load of washing, the lawn mowing or the financial markets next buy. I find many of my clients when dropping into a space of rest and relaxing feel like their energy wants to jump off the table and do some medial chore. Some clients just slip into the initial stages of rest and experience the clarity of the mind which inspires them with a bright idea or something they need to do.

The truth is the work and all that needs to be done will be there when the resting is done. Just one hour of deep relaxation can be far more beneficial than 8 or more hours of sleep (depending on the amount of quality sleep of course). What's even more interesting is to gain quality sleep the body needs to be rested. Often sleeping disorders are established in this very aspect of sleep deprived anxieties.

So if this rings true in any way for your situation a energetic healing session will show you specifically a great way to access a deep state of restful relaxation as you surrender to the gravity within your energy body. Establishing awareness for all the little battles of the mind holding on to things struggling with people relationships inanimate things desires. all manner of things of mind pushing, pulling, willing to be different than what currently are, all engages your switched on energy.

When it comes to work, many people associate work with "what they do" to get paid. In truth many aspects of work go unrewarded. When anyone has an issue of intrinsic value they will establish for themselves a poor relationship with work. This intrinsic value can establish a feeling of worthlessness. In this dualistic nature Value can not exist without Worthlessness and can keep people in a state of struggle fighting to find value and in so find it very difficult to rest.

Work can be said to be anything that requires you to get up and make effort to achieve a result.

Many people get paid to play, some found their niche in play and made it work and changed the relationship with the play.

Many types of work go unrewarded. When reward is associated with work there is a reason to work. When people struggle with the "Who am I" or the "What is my purpose" question the work can feel futile. They lack the motivation to get up and move. Depression often sets in and immobilises to a greater degree. This coupled with the self medications to establish a release generates a very negative spiral into a deeper feeling of worthlessness and the cycle continues.

The last stage of this balance equation is Study. When we are inspired to seek knowledge understanding and growth we fuel the spark of our life. When we find ourselves in a spiral of negative energy in the aforementioned process. One can lose the motivation to learn anything new. When we stop learning we start to die, like flicking a switch, our susceptibility to pathogenic and malevolent illnesses become activated.

A healing session with my Spatial Energetics process will activate this gravity. Establish clarity for path and purpose, spark the fire to the fuel that feeds it. Clients report a greater sensitivity to the synchronicities and coincidental processes that animate the archetypes being that fuel. This is the Shamans way of healing the leaks of Qi(chi) to accumulate ultimate power. For ultimate power is not taking something from another source outside of self its owning what is and always has been your own.
