This week’s experiences of the E-E Breathing programme are similar to previous weeks – the normal effects, for me, associated with listening to Laura whilst doing the pipe breathing (tears and yawning) and PotS (tears running down my face, and micro/mini-zoning out). Again, change is continuing to happen at a deep level.
Once again, a shock to the system on Thursday morning at breakfast time, I burnt the inside of my
right forearm on the edge of a hot skillet that I was getting out of a hot oven. A sharp reminder from my body that urgent Work is required by me for resolution of a ‘burning issue’ – especially as both ‘burns’ and ‘arms’ have been highlighted before, although not together. A timely reminder for some reason.

Burns – Anger. Burning up. Incensed.

BURN
EMOTIONAL BLOCK
From a metaphysical perspective, burns are aggressive and violent events in the face of guilt and punishment. The degree of burn (first, second or third) has a direct correlation to the degree of guilt, and the location of the burned tissue reveals the burning issues surrounding it.
MENTAL BLOCK
A burning sensation indicates a burning attitude. Who or what is making you flaming mad? As you would prevent a forest fire by snuffing out the flames, so you must snuff out anger in your own life with a gentle tolerance towards yourself and others. [duly noted] Guilt and punishment have no place in your life and offer nothing positive to contribute to your wholeness.
Since a burn usually happens by accident, I refer you to ACCIDENT.
Louise Hay in You Can Heal Your Life said:
Accidents – Inability to speak up for the self. Rebellion against authority. Belief in violence.

ACCIDENT
PHYSICAL BLOCK
Because an accident is an unpredictable event, we often believe it happens by pure chance. Increasingly, we are being told, “there are no accidents.” Nothing happens by coincidence. I believe that chance and accidents are tools the Universe (GOD) uses to get our attention. Just make note of what part of the body has been injured and how seriously. …
EMOTIONAL BLOCK
Accidents are interpreted as punishment, as on a deeper level we blame ourselves and accuse our inner-self. We feel responsible for what goes on around us. … Accidents are a way to neutralize our guilt, to punish ourselves. Unfortunately, all of this goes on unconsciously.
MENTAL BLOCK
Your definition of guilt needs to be revised. According to our legal system, a person is declared guilty when it has been proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that harm was intended. Each time you blame yourself or feel guilty about something, ask yourself if you intended to do harm. If not, stop accusing yourself in your mind. This will help you to stop punishing yourself with “accidents.”
….
Now moving on to the ‘burning issues surrounding’ the burn, the part of the body injured.
Louise Hay in You Can Heal Your Life said:
Arm(s) – Represents . the capacity and ability to hold the experiences of life.
Right Side of the Body – Giving out, letting go, masculine energy, men, the father.
Lise Bourbeau in Your body’s telling you: Love yourself! said:
ARM PROBLEMS
EMOTIONAL BLOCK
Pain in the arms signals that you feel you are no longer useful and you doubt your capacities. Or it could be that you have difficulty in holding someone close to you. You may be feeling some guilt surrounding this issue. You should take a close look at why you can’t take a loved one in your arms. What could happen?
… the right arm signifies giving … Perhaps you don’t feel worthy of being someone’s right arm?
It may be that you feel you have all that you need to embrace a new situation but you’ve been influenced by others or by your thoughts and you’re preventing yourself from grasping the situation fully.
Since the arms are an extension of the heart region, they are used to express love. Rather than feeling the weight of obligation, embrace the person or opportunity with open arms, as this is the natural reaction of the heart.
MENTAL BLOCK
If you doubt your ability or usefulness, realize that this mindset is the result of listening to a little voice in your head that is bred by the ego. Trust that the Universe only gives you what you can handle and that you will reach your goals with a quiet confidence and capability. Discard painful ways of thinking and energize yourself by embracing your life fully.
…
If you find it difficult to show affection and there is a resulting ache or pain in your arms, your body is giving you a signal to reach out and demonstrate how you really feel. This doesn’t mean that you always have to but give yourself the right to change your way of expressing love to others. It is not your nature to be a cold, unfeeling person.
In summary, the mind-body metaphysics are: punishment, blaming and accusing self (lack of love) through guilt – gentle tolerance towards self and others required; an inability to speak up for self, feeling no longer useful and doubting capabilities, feeling unworthy to be someone’s right arm – discarding painful ways of thinking and energizing self by embracing life more fully; preventing self from grasping situations fully - letting go; and difficulty in showing affection, of expressing love, difficulty in holding someone close to me and consequently feeling guilty, or obligated, about it – reach out and demonstrate how you really feel, express your love to others.,
Well, something is surely beginning to shift. And, I feel a Swamp session coming on.
