This is beautiful, and so completely what I am noticing now. As I commit to changes in my diet and lifestyle my network care advances in great big ways. I feel change in all aspects of my self, and I seem to be getting to know myself better and better everyday. This work is pivotal for me in becoming the healthy, growing, spiritual person I’ve longed to be all along. Thank you Jay for opening my gateways to the path I’ve intended! As well thanks to all the practice members who hold the space for me to explore!

Comment on Instead of "What's Wrong With Me?" by Jay

Fantastic comment, Patrick. Some will say you cannot quiet the mind you can only give it a better job. The development of questions and changing questions is based on the Triad of Change. In this model the Triad consists of Structure, Behavior and Function.
Triad of Change

The Triad can be applied in SRI and NSA work. We look to find a lead strategy for practice members when the time is right. Breath is a brilliant strategy for some people to lead with, while others may find it difficult. The triad was a development to help people discover their own lead or primary strategies.

The three resources in NSA are Breath, Energy and Motion. It is tremendously useful to find a lead strategy as it just makes everything go a little sweeter. My lead strategy for example is motion, followed by energy and then breath. I can do these out of order but when I use my primary strategy a respiratory wave unwinds my spine amazingly fast.

Thanks for sharing your strategy

I like that one, Jay. It’s a bit like answering the “What’s wrong with me?” question with a more constructive one: “What’s right with me?” That’s the place to go looking when you need to appreciate yourself, and others, and find something to give.

My favourite strategy is to shut down the brain chatter altogether. It’s easier to see it as chatter when the mind is quiet, at rest. From there, you can be conscious of the parts of you that are in heat, in need of care, that are the source of the chatter (note: it’s rarely the mind).

But first, I just quiet my mind and employ a simple breath exercise learned from a guide to meditation by Stephen R. Levine. There are two parts to it.

First, just breathe. One deep one, slowly, then exhale, slowly.

As you breathe in, say in your mind, “breathing in”. As you breathe out say, in your mind, “breathing out.”

After the first big breath, I continue breathing with a more regular pattern, concentrating only on the sensations of breathing and on the words I repeat in my mind.

breathing in
breathing out

The breathing brings me back into conact with my body. Repeating the words, breathing in, breathing out, that cuts through the chatter, quiets the mind.

Since becoming a practice member, I’ve also learned to build a wave of Chi that flows through me while I breathe. I can direct this wave to parts of my body that are tense, or in pain, or in distress. If I direct my mind to this wave and its affects on these parts, then I don’t need the words to calm my mind. Instead, I can activate my mind to participate in soothing and healing the parts of me that are wounded and causing the chatter, or that are put in distress by it.
