Pointed Finger

Listen to "Pointed Fingers" on Spreaker. Two exercises today. Not to test you. To help create awareness. Hold out your hand as if you're pointing at someone. Keep it out there. Look at everything around the tip of that finger. Point it like you mean it. Keep looking. Feels kind of good to say, "You did it! You're the one!" My mother hated it when she'd catch us pointing our fingers at someone. But Mom! They started it! She had me hold my pointed finger in the air for five minutes. Studying every element that moved through that place in present. I didn't understand her point. Then she taught me, "No matter how much you think someone is responsible for your darkest times. Point all you want. But always take note of what's happening beneath your index finger. There are three fingers pointed directly at you. Who wins here? You have one finger pointed at them. There are three directed at you. What did you do wrong to cause the moment to crash?" Although I may not have participated with the results that played out. It made me very aware of future situations that deal with uncomfortable realizations. The moment that feeling floods your heart and thought process force yourself to step back. Did this really just happen? How are you going to react? Should you step toward a different path? Being aware of your injured moment doesn't mean ignoring it. It's realizing that no matter how much evidence you might have on someone bringing injury to your daily process, you had amble space to walk away from it many times in the moments before. The other exercise. Hold out that pointed finger again. This time truly mean it. Allow your arm to tense up. Put your energy into not dropping that arm. You mean business. If someone were to come over and try to pull down your arm it wouldn't budge. Now invite someone over to wave two fingers beneath the pointed fingers. Wave it a couple of times. Then have them reach up and pull it down. No matter how much strength you put into keeping it up. Your hand will drop. Your flow of energy was interrupted. Everything you do comes from what martial artists call your Dan Jang. Right above your belly button sits your aura maker. Everything you are and how it's received comes from the center of your being. Two fingers will weaken you in the strongest of battles. If energy is constantly moving away from you try this meditation exercise. Cup your hand over your Dan Jang. Keep the bad, questionable, injured energy next to you for a moment. Your body won't be so quick to point a finger. It will feel the stationary energy and turn it into personal strength. This is why you might be in bad moods, feeling depressed or can't figure out where your energy level is going. Where is your belt line? How tight are your clothes near your Dan Jang? If you're blocking the source of your energy maker then you aren't projecting your purpose forward. You're halting it. Meditation isn't about sitting quietly in the moment of Now. It's listening to your body speak while the rest of the universe moves through it. Become part of the conversation. Learn your bodies language.
