As if our physical bodies weren't complicated enough, they're just a small part of our human being. Folded up within and around our physical body is our energy body. Every physical structure, every cell, organ, system, generates a field and is generated by a field. Just as flows of blood, lymph, oxygen and so on flow around our physical bodies, different forms of energy flow around and between each of them. The energy counterpart of each of our physical structures is also a window into a world of feelings and has its own nature or personality. This seems to be especially true of the sacrum which we connected with in last Thursday's group session.
Many of our bones are fusions of several bones, the sacrum is a good example, a fusion of five or more vertebral shapes. What's fascinating from the point of view of treating the energy body along with the physical body, is that energetically the sacrum retains it's separate sections. Each part has its own rhythm and identity. To release restriction in the physical body it's sometimes most efficient to focus attention into the energy body, I hope my previous post will explain what I mean. Working in this way we can explore layers and layers of feelings, patterns and also deep inner wisdom. Exploring the sacrum, I found myself in a world of deep inner peace and had an unexpected feeling of being with whales, feeling their vast presence and power, also a feeling of the flow and evolution of life over millions of years. Also a sense of timelessness, or that the two dimensionality of time is just a human illusion, that just as the whales have evolved from land creatures that returned to the sea, we humans can evolve too. A sense that the just as our present selves are a product of millions of years of past change and adaptation, a future form exists already for us in a sea of possible design around us and within us. Somehow that idea gives me a lot of hope.
And one last thing... it seems that whales generally don't have a sacral bone. Their skeletons retain some pelvic shapes for muscle attachments but not a sacrum, so it's interesting that the sacrum should be a window into the world of whales.
