Inner Body Aliveness

Fake Substitutes

The thing is that when we cover up our aliveness we then look for substitutes because of the unease we experience. We will settle for any type of sensory overstimulation including video games, excessively loud music, drugs and alcohol, dangerous thrills, and being obsessed with sex. I think you get the picture. We fill in the gaps to our aliveness with fake substitutes of whom we truly are within.

We even go to the point of thinking someone else will make us happy, so we jump into an intimate relationship. We continue to deceive ourselves until we are aware of our true inner aliveness.

Nurturance

We need to learn to nurture ourselves. By being present in the moment, we come to realize that all this song and dance in which we are involved is not our true being. When we are alive within we see more clearly. Practice taking conscious breaths each day for a few minutes, until you connect with your sense of aliveness, no matter how subtle. This can be done with eyes open or closed.

Parenting Methods

Parents can help their children by not only caring for their outer needs, but nurturing them within as well. Teaching our kids to slow down and stay in touch with their inner being will pay big dividends both now and well into the future. When faced with challenges, they will learn to go from desperation to acceptance and forgiveness.

It is truly a gift that we give to ourselves to accept what is happening, and forgive ourselves for any mistakes. Inner body aliveness makes this process much easier. And this is actually a process of re-remembering, as we all had this awareness when we were born and very young. And a bonus is that we become aware of our inner guide, the true source of our knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
