Onto your hardware,
enormous amounts of software have been installed -- all your conscious and
unconscious programming. From the basic
instincts that are "hardwired" into your body, to the memories,
beliefs, and learning that you have accumulated over a lifetime, including the
language you speak and the habits you've developed, this software is stored on
your hardware, in the muscles, nerve pathways, and central processing unit of
the brain.
Essentially, the
programming in your personal software tells your life force energy where to go
in your body/hardware and where not to go.
Your program may tell you it's not safe to open your mouth (or your
heart), and as a result, the charge doesn't flow into your throat or heart very
much.
If there is too
little charge, you might not be able to activate a program that's already
there. You may know exactly how to do a
particular dance form, but if you're exhausted, you can't perform it until
you're recharged.
Everything you do is
essentially run by your beliefs as the master programs installed onto your
hardware. Just as money coming into your
bank account gets spent on the things you think are important, when charge comes
into your body, it is directed by your beliefs about what is important, which
in turn activates your behavior.
Very few people,
when they feel uncomfortable, really look to see what is making them
uncomfortable.
Bringing awareness
to this edge of your comfort zone is the first step in the healing process.
Healing happens at
the edge of the comfort zone, but not over it.
You expand your
comfort zone by going right to the edge of it and noticing what's there.
Binding is like
wrapping sticky tape around a package so nothing can get loose. Binding ties up the charge in the muscles and
organs of the body, creating chronic tension, or what we call a block.
Whatever the
pattern, bound charge is less available.
It's like having your money tied up in a frozen account and not being
able to draw it out when you need to.
Typically, we bind
our charge when discharge is impossible.
Bound-up charge
shrinks the comfort zone. We have less
room for ourselves, less freedom to be who we are, and we need more control
over our environment.
Each chakra is a
chamber in the temple of your body that handles a particular kind of energy,
much like the different rooms in your home handle distinct energies.
Non-dual
consciousness simply experiences, without commentary.
Our beliefs tell us
how to operate.
