Greetings!
Last night I went to the new Star Trek movie with my son.
The 'old' Star Trek memories rushed through me - and when the 'elder' Spock came on the screen and said his famous "live long and prosper", my fingers, too, split wide and I was transported back to my old family room - as a shy 13 year old curled up with a book in one hand and an eye on the TV - a brief though powerful full-bodied deja-vu. (Like Star Trek? Read my Spock/Kirk - logic vs emotion post!)  Memories are like the wormhole in the movie. (I won't tell you too much of the plot but there is a whole time/space shattering...) Memories transport us through the physical, emotional, sensorial, and mental, realms back and forth between times -from present to past, to present to future.
Memory wormholes - this portal through space/time occurs often in a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy session. You might bring your little girl or little boy to the present. More often you get to take a trip as I did and actually be back there.
Now sometimes that may be a bit scary - so you have a link to the Here and Now which is held strongly through the practitioner (that would be me.)
I trust that every memory has purpose. Memories are a doorway to heal something or release something. They remind us of some quality or experience that is important in that moment. It might tell you where your tripping, stuck, or ready. It returns you to yourself.
This Summer - Re-member.
