Express Yourself!!!

Expression is our Alchemy
By Ivy Integration

Expression is our alchemy, to remedy, harmonize and resolve our lives. In life our destiny is to conquer our imbalances, misundstandings, judgments through expression and come into the fullness of our magnetic power. What is magnetic power? Magnetic power comes from the wholeheart, a heart beastly courageous, dignified and honest. But, our weak expression dulls our courage, dignity and honesty into shame. Shame for our imbalances, misunderstandings, judgments can form a prideful ego to ignore or deny the confusion of our misalighed view on life or cage our brazen creativity and never vent free the messages in the heart and like birds they carry a tiny note with a tiny message that tells us our heart’s yearning. Our heart yearns to express but when our mental projection is larger than our heart expression, we are ruled by the mental intrigues that create dilemma, commotion and fantasy. It is difficult to express ourselves when everything is interpreted through complication, when words, feelings, thought forms, ideas and assumptions are filtered through dilemma, commotion and fantasy. We cannot capture the simplicity of human nature, come into the subtly of the heart and express the overview of the heart’s yearning Instead, many of us express the fragments of doubt, fear, confusion, paranoia, insecurity, confusion. In the overview, where do all the dilemmas, commotions and fantasies join for clarity? They emerge at the heart, when the physiology of our synergized, synchronized body/mind pours into the spirit or haven for our soul. Only then, do we allow feelings to speak instead of rallying against the spirit in all the undervalued mental projections streaming through pride or neglect.
Expression is our Godly gift to remedy, harmonize and restore our lives. It provides the opportunity to make amend, atone our misunderstandings and judgments and alchemize our creative knowledge. Creative knowledge comes from the experience of expression, when we learn to articulate the heart constructively, correctly, creatively. Articulation of the heart is a practice as humankind is still bound to the dilemma, commotion and fantasy in the undervalued mental projection. But, the more we indulge in the undervalued mental projection led by shame the more meaningless our actions, feelings and relations become. We become impulsive, desensitized and unavailable to ourselves and others.
The realm of the heart is subtle, meditative, receptive and innocent. It yearns to be emotionally fulfilled! But, our prideful/shameful ego or emotional denial rejects the opening of our expression for messages to fly out and speak to us with courage, dignity and honesty. Prideful/shameful ego or emotional denial rejects courage, dignity and honesty through self-importance “I am right! They are wrong!” self-judgment “I don’t need to say or do anything!” over-thinking “It’s too far gone, the person doesn’t care; I’m upset!” All emotions are valid but when we over indulge in self-importance, self-judgment and over-thinking we are scrambled by the mental projection and have no overview to see from a higher view beyond our human nature to separate, categorize, disarray feelings and fragment ourselves.
How to practice the Godly gift to remedy, harmonize and resolve our imbalances, misunderstandings and judgments is practicing courage, dignity and honesty in the physiology. What this looks like is exactly what the ancients practice daily in ritual! Through song and dance, prayer, meditation, morning/afternoon ritual, the natives liberate the body/mind collaboration by getting grounded/rooted into the rhythmic heart beat of Earth. The natives would root their mind out of space into the body through the fierce heart beat moving with a rhythm of nature. Through mimicking the river, tree, stone, fire and gleaming moon, the natives found innocence at the heart and clarity to the spacey mind. When the mind is anchored in the heart through liberty of physiology, the body becomes an instrument for messages to come through. We think messages come through the mind because we’ve spent many centuries focusing on the mind through science, math, technology, building and establishing (patriarchal model) but the mind is a filter and the heart is the organizer.
If we solely live by filters we are always separating, categorizing and assuming but if we stream through filters with an organizer we are polarizing our imbalance with balance, misunderstanding with understanding and judgment with compassion giving us magnetic power to unify our mental intrigues into a subtle entity called the expression of physiology. It is native and vibrant, the heart and not a dilemma, commotion and fantasy one after the other after the other leading us through constant ache of confusion and emotional unfulfillment. Those who practice body/mind movement through song and dance, Chi Gong, Tai Chi, Kundalini Yoga, anything that gets the mind creatively emotional and available to grounded emotion have strength to express their needs, intentions, commands and boundaries. Resonating at the heart fully with fullness of the wholeheart, mental indulging detaches and returns to a subtle experience of being fully in touch with the body. Those who are not fully in touch with the body are usually captured in self-importance, self-judgment and over-thinking trying to think, think, think their way through remedy, harmony and resolution but end up thinking, thinking and thinking. Those who are not fully in touch with the body are easily irritated, irritable and obnoxious by all their self-importance, self-judgment and over-thinking and lead no one nowhere monumental or to the paramount of the overview.
The heart leads to the paramount of the overview. This paramount of insight, discovery and alchemy is through the physiology of the body/mind embodying the Earth. When we look out the window of our largest chakra, vortex or electromagnetic circuit, the heart, do we see that we must express fun, laughter, joy, innocence NOW through forgiveness, acceptance and compassion to bring ourselves out of spacey la la land into the fullness of our touch on Earth. Only then, do we have the courage, dignity and honesty to lead our heart open, wider, bolder and our body stronger to support the authenticity of the heart’s rhythm.
