One Way to Block the Full Expression of a Persona

One of the goals of the Personified Physique Method is the full (or at least nearly full) expression of a feeling/emotion. Many counselors and psychologists would call this expression the "processing of an emotion."

The PPM provides many ways in which you can become aware of your emotions, accept those emotions, shift those emotions (with paradigm work), express the emotion in a personalized way, and get physically aligned and fit at the same time!

There are, of course, many "blocks" that can surface during the PPM process. This isn't to discourage anyone from expressing their emotions fully or from utilizing the PPM especially since these blocks are fairly easy to "get around" once you know how to spot them.

One of these blocks is insecurity. Fundamentally insecurity is a "shakiness" within a personal system and usually expresses itself in the body and in the mind which are the mental and physical systems of our being. These systems reflect each other.

In the mind insecurity sounds like this:

---What is wrong with me?
---Why doesn't s/he seem to like me?
---Why am I not good enough for this ________________?
---I'm not as smart as she is.
---I'm not as good looking as he is.
---Why does everything bad seem to happen to me?

All of these thoughts (which can zip through our minds at such a rapid speed sometimes we have to slow down to begin to hear them) have an inherent imbalance to them.

Consider this. All of the thoughts above are questions. Questions are inherently unstable propositions. The phrase "I don't know" can be a secure statement but in the case of the questions above there is an obvious shakiness to the queries.

Stand on one leg. Begin to ask yourself the questions above and see what happens. Do you feel secure? Try this with your eyes closed.

Notice the nature of insecurity in the physical being of other people who seem insecure to you. They are often shaky, jittery (even their eyes can be shaky), and they often talk quickly or seek for unreasonable control. There emotions are also very shaky and they can experience many sharp emotions within a short period of time that for them are very unpleasant.

Now, try balancing with open eyes and with closed eyes on one leg (preferably the same leg if it's not too tired while you say the following:

---Nothing is wrong with me. She may have different opinions but there is nothing wrong with me. I deserve love.
---I sense a strange energy between me and her. It's probably not good timing for us to communicate but later on it might be.
---I am good enough for ____________________.
---I'm smart and intelligent. I notice things that others don't seem to notice.
---I'm good looking. I like the way that I look.
---Why do so many good things happen to me?

And finally, try saying this: "It's not my job to make other people happy. It's not my job to make other people happy. It's not my job to make other people happy. I have faith that they have the strength, courage, and communicative abilities to grown in their own happiness." Say this several times and see how it feels to you when you say it. If you can say it in solitude (perhaps in your car) even better. You'll feel the energy of these words and your intentions as you say them. Words are powerful. They have history and they also have a present with you.

Gratitude
Also, remember, that one way to open the doors of full personal expression is to show gratitude. So ask yourself one more time, "Why do so many good things happen to me?"
