04. Reference Integration Reflection

Specific points or areas of your body provide certain sensations that give you a reference. They help you become more aware of the dimension of your body and its relationship to the ground, surrounding environment and others. Sensory awareness helps you identify who you are as an individual relative to everything else. This may be felt within all levels of your being, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

When you are sensing a new or returned feeling in your body, and are able to breathe while feeling it, you integrate that sensation and all the things you referenced or took note of within yourself at that moment. 

For example: Feeling your left heel may give you a greater sense of stability and new motion through your entire left leg and side of your body. This empowered sense can encourage new movement and expression of yourself. You feel confident to try something new that feels more aligned with your heart center and true self. Yes, one sensation is that powerful!

Physically, you may feel symptom relief, taller, aligned, more range of motion, balanced, neutral and stable in your body. Emotionally, mentally and spiritually you may have greater self awareness and understanding of your perceptions of: 

  • Self and Higher Self
  • Danger vs safety
  • Emotional energy that feels positive or negative and where it resides in your body 
  • Past experiences or memories that influence you
  • Patterns that you are ready to release and areas ready for healing

 

Reflect on the following important reference areas of the body for ~5-20 minutes for the next 3 days and then as often as desired. *Unless otherwise directed.

  • Use these reference points at any time to align and integrate these aspects of yourself or use your testing technique to determine the primary reference center you need to focus on sensing.
  • Journal to remember how each of these reference centers uniquely support you.
  • Perform this self-reflection again in about 2 weeks to assess your progress and to gather any new information to continue to support you and your greatest good.

 

Reference Integration Self-Reflection:

  1. Do you easily feel or sense these areas of your body?
    1. Left abdominals drawing in when exhaling
    2. Expansion in the left mid-back when inhaling 
    3. Left hamstring (back of left thigh)
    4. Left inner thigh
    5. Left heel
    6. Right big toe
    7. Right arch 
    8. Right shoulder blade
    9. Right base of skull
  2. Do these areas feel new or returned to you? Perhaps you haven’t truly felt them since an injury, surgery or even ever in your life.
  3. What does this new or returned sensation seem to give you?
  4. How can this new felt sense in your body support you in life now? If you were to reference this area during the day, or during a certain situation, how would it help you?
  5. What new way of being, behaving, moving, thinking or expressing yourself may you be aware of now?

 

A new way of feeling, being and expressing yourself may arise when sensing these areas in a variety of positions and activities throughout your day.
