Welcoming

Welcoming in the process of releasing is different than welcoming in other contexts. For example, when we welcome someone into our home we might offer them the best seat in the house. We might offer them a cup or coffee or tea and a cookie or biscuit. We want them to feel comfortable and we want them to enjoy themselves while during their visit. Welcoming in the releasing process is more neutral. Instead of trying to make a thought or feeling comfortable and offering the thought or feeling the best seat in the house, we open the door and beckon them in and then wait to see what they are about. What do they feel like, what are the actual sensations in the body? Where are they located in the body? What do they do in that part or those parts of the body? What are they trying to convey or accomplish? Are they arising from or stirring up wanting or a feeling of lacking “approval, control, safety, or oneness?” These four wants will be discussed further in another blog.
