Stories

 

 A story is an explanation of an event, opinion, attitude, or trauma that a person has experienced.  We all have stories!  Its how we deal with them that makes a difference.   Why does a person repeat their story over and over?  Perhaps they forgot that they had already told that story in the first place.  Or they feel that they are not being heard.  In a lot of cases, the story has taken on a strong life of its own, and it may be the first thing that pops out of a person’s mouth in conversation.  That person unconsciously identifies with their story, even though it may no longer be true. 

In particular, I would like to write about a story that one has adopted in relation to their healing process.  When I work on a client, I get a sense of what they would like to work on based on the story that is told to me at the start of the session.  Now, I rarely believe the whole thing, as I need to be shown the real issue during the session.  This can be quite different from what the client thinks is going on.

After I am done, I give the client their outtake report of what was done during the session, but I ask that they do not write any of that down.  I am just describing what has been cleared and is no longer there.  The client gets homework to reinforce their new healed state.  A person can literally reverse the healing if they hang on to their old story. 

I have been attending some of Ken Lloyd’s events, and he addressed this issue recently.  He not only does not give any kind of explanation on how he does his healing process during the outtake, but does not want to listen to any client’s story before he works on them.  Story keeps a person attached to their trauma so that healing is not as effective. As you can tell, his sessions tend to be very short, about 20 minutes, because he has eliminated the "talk".   All he needs is a few sentences on what is bothering the client. 

I have several friends who are so attached to their story that they may be manifesting that very limited future.  One is convinced that she is getting dementia because it runs in her family, and another, who is in her early 70’s, feels that she may only live another 10 years because other family members have died in their 70’s. 

So really examine the story that you are telling yourself or repeating over and over.  Don’t put yourself in a box.  Do not limit your potential.  After all, for spiritually evolving beings, there is no limit to the healing and evolution that we can experience.  Approach each day as if it is brand new without dragging something from the past with you.  If you are living in the now, there are no stories anyway!
