My business week - Meditation & Healing

This weekend I am full of fix in the new and old premises, we are taking care of now because we have closed on Sundays because we can not drill and mess when there are customers here.

Så detta inlägg skriver jag därför i förväg, för eftersom nästa vecka är en halvvecka (p.g.a. semester på onsdag woop, woop!) så tänkte jag slå ihop dom till samma “businessvecka” så får ni läsa om 1,5 vecka på en gång nästa söndag istället :)

I thought instead of dedicating this post to a new topic - meditation and healing!

Imbalance in his neck chakra
Jag har alltid sett mig som en person som mediterar i vardagen och därför inte behöver “riktig meditation”. Mer och mer har jag insett att det inte är sant. Ni vet ju att jag har problem med feber och halsinfektioner hela tiden (denna vecka igen, suck) och av en slump när jag googlade så såg jag att jag kan ha obalans i mitt halschakra.

Do you believe in that?

Jag är ganska “flummig” och tror på massor, men egentligen ser jag det inte som flum utan som vetenskap som inte är bevisat (eller offentligt) än. Det finns inga företag som tjänar på att människor kan läka sig själva med tankekraft.

Stand up for yourself - Imbalance in the neck chakra can be due to several things, but a common reason is that you do not stand up for yourself, which was very apt for me. If you want to say one thing but do not, that energy can get stuck in the throat and create an imbalance that can lead to throat infections, hoarseness, etc. In my case, this happened because the other party did not want to communicate even though I asked for it, which led to me could never explain me, defend me or stand up for myself and my opinions. When you do not communicate, it creates a thousand unnecessary misunderstandings and non-problems. Instead, you begin to analyze the other person's behaviors and create your own fabricated truths about why a person does as they do, because you do not have the whole picture. I felt incredibly depressed, misunderstood and simply trampled on and walked around all the time with a feeling that I was forced to be dumb.

My throat problems started exactly the period when I started being treated like this, it feels weird if it was just a coincidence?

Jag trodde först att jag mådde dåligt enbart för att jag inte trivdes med situationen som jag befann mig i. Det var först när jag insåg lättnadskänslan av att stå upp för mig själv (om ens litegrann) som jag insåg att skon klämde även där. När jag sa orden “now I have given and given and given and just tried to do the right thing all the time for your sake, but now I take no shit anymore!”I immediately felt several kilos lighter both mentally and physically. Then I realized that the problem was not only in the physical situation but that I had not been nice to myself who had let me be trampled on.

Care - Grief can also get stuck in the throat and create imbalance. Now I may sound quirky (?) But I also think it's a small lump of grief in my throat that did not come out properly when three of my cats died in a short time. When my mother passed away, it was socially accepted to be sad for several weeks in a row, even though I still feel sad every day, it is at least processed grief. Now I do not compare my mother with a cat but when a cat dies you have to cry for a while but then you have to go to work the same day and get over it in a week. But for me, it was really an emotional trauma that must have stuck in my throat.

Focus is more important than intelligence
Another important reason to meditate is to learn to relax. We work a lot with Tommy from Peragenda.se och när han sa att “fokus är viktigare än intelligens” så kände jag att han satte huvudet på spiken. Han pratar mycket om hur distraherad man blir idag med en telefon som blinkar med nya notiser, mail som poppar upp och man är ständigt uppkopplad. Då blir man verkligen inte effektiv och framför allt så tror jag inte att det är särskilt nyttigt.

Jag minns inte vem men det var en föreläsare som var gäst i Framgångspodden som sa att det bästa framgångsknepet är att sitta på en stol och bara sitta. T.ex. en kvart mitt i arbetsdagen. Poängen var att när man är inne i “produktions-mode” så får man inte upp tankar som är viktiga att bearbeta under dagen, t.ex. problemlösningar m.m. För dessa tankar kommer när vi är avslappnade och om vi inte tar en avslappnad sitta-på-en-stol-stund mitt på dagen, när kommer tankarna då? När vi ska sova såklart! Hur många börjar inte tänka på sånt precis när man ska somna? Det är ju ganska logiskt när man tänker på det.

I tried to meditate one evening a week after a working day that was not very busy really but it required some planning and there was a lot to keep track of. And it was scary how hard I had to relax, despite meditation music in my ears, I lay comfortably in bed and really tried. But my brain suddenly started thinking of something completely different until I actually gave up completely, put on an episode of Friends and fell asleep to Chandler's jokes that I heard a thousand times and still laugh at.

The most difficult thing is not to be ambitious and work hard for many hours, the difficult thing is to work unfocused and efficiently and then be able to relax when you are done.

Healing & meditation
I would really like to go on professional healing but first I will meditate a little alone. I think I get more out of a healing if I have gained some experience myself first. Teach me to relax myself.

The first thing I did was apply a lot of self-healing and clear my neck chakra and tested this right away, but quickly realized that I need to start on step one - learn to be relaxed first.

Now I have meditated a few times and can already start to include some healing tricks in the meditation. Nice when you make progress fast! Last Friday I meditated for 43 minutes and even though it was not a monk-mindfullness right away, it still felt like it was a fairly successful meditation.

An aid I have started with (borrowed from Annika) is Muse Meditation, a headband that measures brain activity and is connected to an app with different sounds that you can choose. The purpose is to learn to relax quickly, how do I get relaxed? You can choose different weather to listen to, e.g. a beach by the sea. If you are stressed / up in laps, it is like a storm and big waves, but when you become relaxed it becomes a calmer noise, the sound of rocking water and if you are really relaxed you will also hear birds chirping. I have never had any birds and Miska got 7 the first time he tested haha.

It will be both a rewarding behavior at the same time as you get confirmed when you do the right thing.

This is how I sit and meditate, sometimes I'm up in the attic though. The headband, headphones and sleeping mask for the eyes because I want it completely dark.

If any of you have experience of healing and above all neck chakra, you are very welcome to write tips to me! I devour everything! Now there will be an end to fever and throat infections !! :)

Have a nice Sunday everyone!

Hugs are ♥
