Hop on the self-awareness path. Put something you want on the horizon. Look around for signs as you proceed along your journey. Wayfinding signs point out levels and destination rooms, road signs advise you on direction, speed, and other important stuff, with neon signs announcing attractions you might want to check out and reactive signs in all shapes and sizes alerting you to the possibility of self-aware portals.
Obstacles can be physical, like a mudslide, or energetic, like vibrational fields or emptional, like learned habits or holding patterns held onto by the body. Every day you literally or figuratively climb over things, unlock and move through doorways, build bridges of communication and foundational steps, or uncover suppressed feelings.
Physical obstacles strengthen muscle organization awareness, patience, and ingenuity. Energetic obstacles, seemingly invisible, are genuine. Typically, entrenchment patterns with other people present as obstacles. Since these patterns are held onto and expressed through the body, the most direct way of clearing them is to check what your body is doing. Is the chest puffed out or collapsed? Are you standing on the outsides or insides of your feet? Is your pelvic bowl tilted or scooped? Feel what your body is doing and visualize muscle organization more in keeping with what you want—for example, relaxed shoulders, an aligned AB Wall, a strong lat fountain flare. When you visualize, you send signals to your muscles to organize in such a way as to release entrenchment patterns. It’s a great way to get to know yourself better.
Emotional holding patterns are also held in the body. Emotions are feelings that are categorized into OK to be felt and not OK to be felt. The not OK ones are suppressed, sometimes violently, and the cover-up contributes to huge obstacles. The only way is to uncover, unlock, open, and feel the muscle organization of suppression. This clearing process develops strategic stamina and fortitude. You get stronger anchoring in the midst of emotional weather fronts.
Assign all obstacles some form of weather, and terrain. You might be slogging through a bog of self-doubt, or drifting along a sunny river of contentment, or hiking a steep and treacherous mountain into change. Fear or love, everything you encounter on your way to the horizon is some form of weather and terrain.
