Dear All,
What a wonderful weekend! I love ALL the flavours that we bring together. I stayed on to visit Susan's cranial sacral/accupunturist therapist. She is fantastic. While she was treating me a tiny frog came to the window, she felt it was significant for me and suggested I look up Frog Medicine. I found lots to read but this particular passage stood out and I wanted to share with the Merry Ones.
" Frog asks that we take a look at the physics of how emotions function. An emotion, a true, unthinking sensational feeling, lasts only seconds. Once felt, we then often enter a maze of thoughts about what it meant, about who we are as a person for having felt such a way, and was it ‘right’ to feel that? But humans are designed to feel. We are comprised of five senses who’s only job is to… sense things. Placing judgment on an internal process that is our natural state of being creates monsters and makes life unbearable. It takes seconds to feel the truth of an emotion but we often can spend a lifetime trying to prevent a feeling from moving through us which we’ve decided is ‘unacceptable.’ This judgment of our internal weather blocks the truth of how we feel and denies reality. This will eventually manifest physical pain or compel us into outlandish behaviors that will force us to deal with the causes. The lesson behind ‘kissing a frog’ is to allow all forms of experience into our body and follow them to the inevitable transformation of grace that feeling emotions will cause. Frog medicine asks that we learn how to feel the ugly feelings and see the prince waiting to transform inside that ugliness."
Thank you all for being willing to share. I love you. Jennie
