Consolidation Meditations

In this post I’d like to focus a little on Consolidation Meditations.

What is that?

Once you learn to release within you, it can get addictive to keep releasing continually. Doing this to much can fragment or destabalise you. So it is good to stop occasionally and do a few meditations for consolidation. That is, for pulling together all the gains you have made and bringing them more into alignment with each other.

It’s like the cleanup after a lot of good work has been done. Pulling together all the little pieces you have released and teased out – all back into one piece again.

Most people need help with learning how to release, so I emphasise this aspect much more in sessions, to make it easier to let go. But once you can do that, then consolidations are important. Without the ability to release, consolidation meditations will not do much for you, they will at best help you keep the status quo, and sometimes this is important especially when you have been run ragged at work or very stressed.

Over consolidating brings no change, just the status quo. No movement, no growth. That can become a stuck and rigid place to be in. But coupled with release work it becomes a powerful tool to help feel the full richness of the gains you have made.

The ‘X’ Factor

The value of deep body based subconscious psychotherapy work begins to be apparent and it’s value important when people try to explain why a team didn’t perform at their best on a particular day. Why an athlete, normally on top of his or her game, doesn’t produce their best at the time that it’s required.

Or why a team is missing the ‘x factor’ when on paper the skills are all there. Or why is belief strong, or teamwork strong among a team or office department. This x factor, or invisible unseen element is the domain of body subconscious based work. At this seemingly unseen level, is where the missing ingredient is hiding, quietly having a massive influence on performance and execution levels of any sport or work project.

Talking about it is normally the first step, but the real work begins when the talking stops, and the person goes within, deeper, accessing the inner body where all the motivation, drive, energy and emotions are stored. This deeper level is highly active and influential in determining how things get done and so determines greatly the success of an athlete or worker on the task at hand.
