The freedom of being born
By Pitas Högfeldt
I am reborn. Don’t laugh, smile with me instead. Or dance. For the first time in ages I feel relief and happiness, peace and freedom and an inner satisfaction.
This miracle happened to me during a week long Meet Yourself Course at Mullingstorp, not far from Arkösund. It was a dizzy and overwhelming process but gave a definite reduction of aches and pains, fear of death and self-contempt. At the age of 60 I have, at last, learnt how to love. Mostly myself.
Free flowing energy
There were laughter and tears, anger and jubilation, there were uncontrolled waves of emotion and free flowing energy. It really crackled around the red cottages and peaceful pastures in this power centre right in the middle of a peaceful provincial idyll.
I was so glad when I felt how the warmth shone on the top of my head, the crown chakra of the body. Energy is not evenly divided but rather concentrated in different energy centres. There are seven of these in the body and I still struggle along with disturbances in my root chakra and especially my relation chakra. This can be characterised as lack of independence and unpredictability. Who could have thought that?
Displeasure turns to pleasure
The programme at Mullingstorp is difficult to understand and explain to those who haven’t been there. But it’s all about spiritual purification, transforming displeasure to pleasure and consciously going beyond intellectual control. This is done through meditation, breathing exercises, a lot free dance and emotionally strong exercises around birth and death.
Active seekers come to the course centre at Vikbolandet to look for inner strength and the meaning of life. This week we were 23 participants from four different countries continually supported by a professional staff of 15-16 people who were there to keep a continual watching eye on us and our mental state.
Feeling bad is good
Feeling bad is a good start. This is the title of persuasive book about unlimited man, written by Dr Bengt Stern. This pioneer and free thinker has died, but his courses at Mullingstorp live on in his spirit.
In his book he describes in detail how experiences from childhood form the adult’s life. My scepticism disappeared during the gruesome birth exercise, as unpleasant as it was releasing.
The goal is to work with emotional memories from early in life and activate courage and strength to change one’s situation and heal wounds. You don’t understand? Well I didn’t either. One doesn’t have to understand everything, the main thing is that we let out our feelings and dare to trust them.
A new person
Such an attitude fosters the body’s self-healing abilities - that is quite obvious. I was released from my aches and pains which had darkened my daily life for more than two years and which more than ten doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors and even acupressurists had failed to fix. Backlashes will most like come, but when they do come, it is more important to take the time to meet your emotional and physical needs.
Smile, live and love your neighbour as yourself. And allow yourself to feel like the new person that you now are.
