MEMORY

MENTAL BALANCE

“His heart was as great as the world, but there was no room in it to hold the memory of a wrong.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

My body not only remembers past injuries and significant changes in its structure and function, but it also holds onto past experiences. While my mind is quick to notice when my body is reminding me of physical trauma, my mind does not necessarily comprehend when my body is reminding me of other traumas. My mind may have blocked out certain experiences and memories for a reason. Perhaps my conscious mind is not ready to remember, so my body holds and stores the memory until I’m ready to address it. As a result, I may feel pain in different places where I had no physical injury.

The more I recover, the more my body is free from focusing on the area of chronic pain and is freed to start releasing pains and memories in other places. Without abusing medication and through working the steps, my body is starting to tell my mind that it is time to take these memories, process them, and be free from them. My mind cooperates with my body to work through my pain.

I reveal, heal, and instill new physical memories in my body by focusing my mind on the continuing journey of pain recovery. My body begins to release old and painful memories because my mind can handle it. In pain recovery, I catch those memories and release them to the love and light so that healing can happen in every area.
