# 164 You are your bodymind or are you?

(c)  Terry Floyd Johnson, 2018  ( Zoua; the OutRyder )

 

In the annuals of psychological doing, how psychologists look at a person’s body, is to see it as body-mind, this says there’s a split between mind and body.

The first person to say this is wrong, is Wilhelm Reich, who coined the word ” character ” to explain how we live our daily lives; and can also be found  in the person’s muscular armor, seen within the  person’s bodymind, directed repression by the person’s character; he also found the worm in man/woman.

He found muscular armor, is created by  repression and denying yourself, this character armor isn’t vertical, but horizontal, these six circular bands on the bodymind, allow us to see the character each person has formulated for themselves. To work on each one- you go from top ( head ) to the hips.

The discovery of Orgone Energy, shows us Orgone Energy is found in everything,  He said he saw this orgone energy, when he was in the Orgone Accumulator Box. ” Later he expanded his idea of orgone energy, to placing it as cosmic orgone energy, for orgone is found in all things, everywhere.

He took his therapy to the next level also; the nuerotic dependence on orgone energy, becomes a fear, of creating off-balance in the bodymind, and many times the client will go back to blocking the orgone energy or cosmic orgone energy, even after having it freed through Reichian therapy.

Reich also formulated the great achievement= bio-electrical four step buildup to letting go of charged life energy:

1. Mechanical Tension
2. Charge
3. Discharge
4. Mechanical Relaxation

These are the steps in bioelectrical charge and discharge in the body, leading to sexual fulfillment. Full charge means the person has orgasmic potency, and is the true life process.

Reich found that you could free the mind, but without freeing the whole bodymind, or in another way-healthy being, is  lost if the bodymind isn’t freed, at the same time.

I concur with this, as working on my own self-therapy, I found if I didn’t do bodymind work, with the expression of the character within muscular armor repressing on natural flowing life energy, the breakthroughs would not stay.

Alexander Lowen

Studied with Reich, for many years, but then started going off in his own direction, seeing within the bodymind, what troubles the person working with; Reich is the first person to call the human body that. Bodymind means there are no parts in the human body, each of us, human and more, are a single process, we are whole within ourselves. By freeing yourself via manipulation of the bodymind, you get closer and closer to total health or orgastic potency found only within the man, woman free of all nuerosis and muscular armor, and any new ones, coming in, are quickly worked through, maintaining the healthy process of life.

Alexander Lowen started seeing symbolic shapes being expressed in the person’s bodymind. He began to look for them, and to manipulate the bodymind in these areas to release the bioenergy stopped up in symbolic character armor expressing what the character is trying to express. To free the person from the muscular armor creating these bodymind symbolic positioning, which reflects the areas being repressed and creating more armor.

I concur with this, also, Symbolism, within the character structure of each person will show up within the bodymind acting out the character muscular armor, and needs to be worked on- to achieve a breakthrough on the bodymind, mental nueroses symbolized in the bodymind.

He followed this insight up, by formulating exercises, which work on the whole bodymind of the person, and free him/her, from the tyranny of each person’s unique character armor, and get life energy streaming once again.

We will look at other practitioners in bodywork, bodymind, and so on, but for now, I want to list what I see within the bodymind work:

1. Character is seen within the symbolization of problems being repressed within the muscular structure, when kept not moving for a length of time, they become frozen, and are like shields of steel, ergo, muscular armor.

2. Role playing helps you to talk to the repressions keeping your bodymind in the unhealthy stage it’s in.

3. Working with a person’s bodymind, by tension and relaxation walking, can work the whole body, and achieve an amazing breakthrough, to be working with the person’s spirit, usually within fifteen to twenty minutes. I feel-see the person’s spirit, and work with the physical bodymind and the spirit, coming in to defend its lifeplan, for its physical person avatar.

4. Psychic/Telepathic/Spiritual talents, abilities and skills, are natural to you, no one gives them to you, and no one can take them away from you, what they can do, is convince you to block them yourself, and no one is the true way for you, but you.

5. A teacher who shows you how to grow within yourself, without making you walk a path he/she/it wants you to walk, so as to praise them, and not teach you, but wants to create a follower of his/her/its perceptions, not yours. The true spiritual teacher  is the one who sees beauty in the wisdom gained by any student, to what is the right path for them, wherever they may be.

 

Microcosmic Force be with you here and now!

 

 

 

# 50 Energy Flows and Eddys

(c) Terry Floyd Johnson, 2015

Psychic realms and actions are found on Earth, Planetary and Space, with rounds and curves, the strongest in them all, in each mystical state of the beyondness of life. .

Rolling Thunder ( by Doug Boyd ) introduces us to respect for all things, and if you’re going to go out and cut plants, grasses, etc., you must find the chief of the group of plants you’re going to take, and explain to the chief, you’re only going to take a certain amount of his tribe, to do your work.

Play true, only take that much, and when you feel the chief, start to remind you of your words, stop, and thank the chief. Native Americans leave gifts for the chief and the tribe. White man’s actions, of not taking more of the tribe, than is good for it, is the gift most appreciated by the chief and the tribal members.

Rolling Thunder, showed how this concept and action works with bees, as well, tell the chief how much honey you’re going to take, and stick to your word. Your gift of truth is priceless beyond compare.

The connection of one being with another is shown in Rolling Thunder, when Rolling Thunder turns over a certain bug, and thunder happens in the sky. Each time he turns the bug over, thunder roars in the sky.

Spirit connection lies in all levels of life, all you have to do is find the connections, and use them wisely.

Seven Arrows, by H.S., shows us how to make a medicine shield, to protect us, but at the same time utilizing actions, to add to what you’re capable of, like adding animal overspirits, color vibrations, and the majestic of the Earth, water, wind, earth and fire.

A medicine shield is your symbolic representation of spirituality, and utilizing the energies, which can be used to protect you, and help you grow, as you use the Medicine Shield, to test out new powers, and refine old ones.

Affirmations ( religious people use prayer ) are the best way to start transformation in your life. Make them simple, and rhythmatic, so you create the magic of the vibrational movements of Earth, Planetary and Space, to come in and help your affirmations, to come true.

If at all possible do not puncture the skin, or cut into the bodymind; if it’s necessary, then put on it and around it- Earth energy, Planetary energy and Space energy. The fourth energy is love energy, the fifth, life energy or cosmic energy.

Each of us must work on what works best for us; don’t think that because an action works for one person it will work for another. Sometimes, it does just that, but other times, it won’t work, so develop you own ways of bringing about the success you want for yourself, and the person, etc., you are hoping to help.

Chinese medicine bodymind points, are seen as the way to correct the problem, the person is having. However, the area of the point, where it is sore, is not the acuteness pain, but the symptomatic pain, which works in vibratory movements, with the real area of pain, etc..

Working on the symptomatic point will only work on the surface of the problem, you must, also, work on the real pain area/spot, to make your work successful.

Meridians, massage, point pressure and others are found in the way of Touch for Health. This is a basic way to work on the bodymind, to get it to flow into a healthy state of being.

Bioenergetics is a body work, which looks at the symbols the bodymind utilizes to express what is going on within it. An example is shoulders looking as if they’re hung on an hanger, showing tightness, and blocks, making the flow of bioenergy,l slow or not at all, in this area of the bodymind. Manipulation is used to free it, and work through the symbolic body expression, expressing the holding in/out/down, of the person, because of how they’re reacting to the problem, causing tension, within them.

Cosmic energy or orgone energy was introduced to the psychological world, by Wilhelm Reich, which said life energy, sexual energy flowing without blocks is healthy, if blocked, from flowing or streaming throughout the bodymind, then this was mental illness, or health illness.

He had seven steps of bodymind manipulation to free the bodymind, and make the person orgonistcally free, and healthy.

Ken Dychtwald in his book ” Bodymind “, shows how the chakras, influence the bodymind and vice versa. Bodymind brings the spiritual, the psychic, the wonder of life into the working with the bodymind of clients, who were repressed, and had tension within their bodyminds.

Reich had shown this tension, would or could become chronic and would turn into what he called muscle armor. His seven steps of freeing the bodymind, is a way of relieving chronic tension, and allowing free flowing life energy, to prevail.

Other methods to look at: Alexander Technique, Dance Therapy, Movement Therapy, Art Therapy, Non-Verbal Communication, Jung- his work with symbols, Plato and forms, philosophical tenets of the basis of all things in the world, Sartre and existentialism, Transpersonal Psychology, Creative Fantasy, Massage, Psychic Massage, Psychic Archeology, Self-Genesis.

May the Microcosmic Force be with you, always!

# 35 The New Human Drive and Self-Achieving

(c) Terry Floyd Johnson, 2014

 

The Awakening, has come, it was first seen in a woman, and it was, and is, beautiful to behold. She, was and is, new energy; it shines from her chest, as golden doors of spiritual light and color.

It has taken approximately 15 years, for this newness to start integrating intp the total makeup, of every living thing, on this planet.

Before this, the Psychocrats, had a blocking field around the Earth, to keep its inhabitants, from being bathed in the cosmic energies of the Universe, and the Universes, along with dimensional energies, and spiritual divinity of cosmic pure, crystal white light.

This blocking field is totally broken, and it has taken fifteen years, for the first new human, to show up, she is the first, that I know of, but she won’t be the last, for every living being, shall experience the Cosmic Energies Showers.

What does this mean; that is something we shall just have to wait and see….the future is full of surprises and gifts/rewards.

What does it mean to have talents, abilities and skills, that make you stand out, from others, by these talents, and how you handle them.

Therein, is the real test of how you’re going to handle your new talents, skills, and abilities, it isn’t only by practice, and utilizing your new rewards and gifts, but psychologically- how you handle having wonderful gifts and rewards, which allow you to do amazing things.

How you use them is just as important as using them; you must grow psychically and psychologically, to help you to handle the responsibility of these new talents, abilities and skills.

Power without the safeguards, to keep you from abusing them, and others, is crossing the line of being a good community member, and an possible criminal, who will run afoul of the law and the community or communities they’re found in.

Where do we find this inner peace, to be able to handle these great gifts and rewards, coming to us from the flowing Cosmic Energies Showers, which now bathe Earth, in all their glory, and their energy(s) to create and bring out new energies, within any life form on the Earth.

The best avenues of learning to handle all these new energies and experiences, is through philosophy and psychology: 1. Existentialism, 2. Self-Genesis, 3. Socrates, 4. Plato, 5. Reich, 6. Lowen, 7. Schultz, 8. Jung, 9. Creative Fantasy, 10. Laing, 11. Rogers, 12. Perls, 13. Sartre, 14. Berkeley, 15. Humanism, 16. Encounter Groups, 17. Transpersonal, 18. James, 19. Kant, 20. Neitsche, 21. Bodymind, 22. Yoga.

There are more, but these can be the sign post you use- as you discover these new areas of interest, and your own self-discovery.

The Awakening has come: prepare yourself- for the new human being, and the new humanity!
