Physical Sensations and Attention

Jerry Stocking is in the Wake Up business.  He teaches courses that increase attention span.  Here is an excerpt of his recent Wake Up Call:  

"Bring more feelings into your attention because you have a body.  Most people have their thoughts own their attention and their bodies are quite neglected.

The majority of people in the US occupy most of their attention throughout the day with sounds and especially conversations.  If you want to slow down focus on sounds, focus on what you say in your head.  You are betting on the slowest horse.  If you want to speed up your attention than focus on feelings and physical sensations.  It will turn you on, it will turn up your speed without putting any pressure on you.

Speaking generates certain physical sensations.  There is breath, movement of your mouth, movement of your jaw.  Stuff going on in your lungs and chest.  I want you to feel that while you are speaking and have that be more important than what you say. 

You can speak in such a way that the people around you feel more.  If you are feeling more, chances are pretty good that they are feeling more.  

There is no need to land.  Your body has already landed.  You are offering us physical sensations when you speak. When they focus on physical sensations they are going to dig you, they are going to like you because the exchange is so rapid."

Dorothy's Whirlwind to Oz

That's us.  Disconnected and tossed around

The energies feel like a whirlwind.  Nobody knows where we are going.  We simply don't know what to do with ourselves. 

We don't know what to prepare for.  We try stuff, and then rapidly it fizzles.  Starting new projects is useless, energies change so fast. Everything seems to break down.  We simply can't get ahead, nothing is working.

This is bringing up a lot of stuff.  There is so much to feel.

The perfect state

"As you go about your life, don't give 100 percent of your attention to the external world and your mind. Keep some within."  (Oneness with all life) Eckhart Tolle Weekly Present Moment Reminder.

I find that I need to keep all my attention on my internal world, my breathing and my body to find out what's going on with me, always focusing on me first.  Wholeness is not about pleasing others.  

There is no greater power than YOU when you are whole.

The world will drown you with their illusions, their victimhood, neediness, guilt, obligations and survival issues.  I can participate in their illusions or I can walk away.

Whatever shows up, what does it bring out in me?  Instead of acting on it, feel it, and that will release the vibrational attachments, the terror that lives inside.  

The extraction of fear.  Everything hidden will surface.  Just when I get comfortable on my ledge over the abyss the universe sends me deeper.  But I only get capsized for a moment and than its over.  The moment I felt it its done with.  Feel everything, its that simple.   

The body is the map.  The mind is confused and fears change.  You can't know it, you can only be it.  For the aware person survival is not an issue.  Only this moment is real.  Be fully in it.

Always breathe, have no agenda.

Breathing is very important when speaking, it brings you into the present moment.  Breathing is the shift from thinking to awareness.  Allowing this moment to be as it is will take you out of thought and end your story.  Whatever state I am in is perfect.  I don't have to achieve anything in particular.

Breathe and Be.  Nothing else is required but to accept what is here now.  Whatever you accept you go beyond, that's the paradox and the miracle.  If you fight it you are stuck with it.

Most meditation is manipulation because you want to achieve a particular state.  The mind always has an idea of how things should be.  The perfect state is the acceptance of now.  It takes away the guesswork.  The present moment is the perfect moment. 

Spinning down the rabbit hole

I really hate the feeling of death.  Everything gets washed away, which is fine, but until it gets replaced with something new, the wasteland in between is horrible.

The short bursts of bliss make me belief I have arrived,when in fact its just temporary, just a little glimpse of reality to keep me going.

Nobody has any answers.  Any predictions are just speculations.  We are walking around dizzy from all the spinning.  Spinning down the rabbit hole.  There better be a wonderland at the bottom.

I have arrived, now what?

My daughter graduated last weekend.  There were only her, her brother and myself.  No one of lower vibration was present because they would have brought their own shit along with their little minds needing to be in charge.  The day fell into place harmoniously.  Once the mind steps in its all over.

She didn't invite her dad.  There is so much obligation with him and no freedom.  He belongs to the old, abusive patriarchy.  No matter how much the kids do for him it is never enough because his matrix mind only sees lack and wants his wounded inner child taken care of.  Its not the kids responsibility to fulfill their parents.  

When people do something for someone else there are always strings attached, an ulterior motive they aren't even aware of, mostly to make themselves look good.   

People are mainly in victim mode causing ALL their suffering.  They are asleep and abusive, always wanting something, never satisfied.  

It takes tremendous stamina to look at yourself and letting go of energetic imprints that sabotage everything you want because you have to go against the very strong current of the collective.  When you are not observing you are meddling.  Awareness changes everything.

I live in a new world now.  Most my dysfunctions have been taken care off and therefore I attract different experiences.   My mind can't even figure out how to proceed from here, but my body will show me because the body knows everything.

Everything is vibration, which is covered up by the mind.  When the mind steps aside you can feel life.  The higher you vibrate the less mind there is.
