ive heard a lot about that one big repressed memory like the lady that had the sub-conscious break-through to consciousness i believe in the HBP book-it was the exception to the rule that proved sarnos theory on the inner rage causeing pain...
with that said,i have to interject the other emotion issue-stressors
stressors from all kinds of sources-see id let a butterfly stress me if i couldnt catch it-i had to learn this thru awareness
and then acceptance that i didnt have to be so stressed over nothings anymore-now i know i dont have to be stressed over anything,
unless its a good emotion of energy-i really dont want it but we have issues and concerns all the time-and some will say if it were a perfect world.but how we re-act to a cat climbing a tree if that cat is our moms and she wants it down-be cool,say your affirmations-you should be prepared by now-
but see i thought for a moment that i was going to find that one big repressed emotion-but for me it was all kinds of stuff-
like discouragement -always having bad worrys about my family and son -heres the kicker-id be worried when there was nothing to be worried about-in other words- just about every one thinks destructive thoughts-we dont always know better-sometimes we dont care-and at other times we dont even know were doing it-if your not focused on living -thats forgivness-hope-love-etc.... and your stressing over little nothings then this might just be your one big repression
eric, this is great post and I'm surprised no one's commented on it yet.
When I'm alone, I naturally gravitate towards mindfulness and my stress levels diminish. I find it much harder to stay in this slow, quiet state when re-immersed in my situation. Many times I am able to view it as a baptism and the very heart of meditation but I worry that I spend too much time under the water...and as you say this becomes the big repression.
