CELLULAR CONSCIOUSNESS: AN INVITATION TO EXPLORE
PART 1
Life begins and ends in the cell
Our cells a microcosm of our individual self
Each cell an aspect of our self,
Of our unconscious and conscious behaviour
The cellular harmony arises from each cell flowing between receptivity and expression,
Giving and receiving,
Listening and speaking
According to its own nature and its relationship to the cellular matrix.
Cellular breathing, one of our earliest patterns underpinning all other patterns
Our earliest pattern of breath before the nervous system’s ‘knowing’ took charge
Through cellular breathing we may experience life force breathing us
Moving us
Flowing through us
We return to the the breath of life
The moment that life was breathed into the very first cell
Our moment of incarnation
An expression of all that we are and all that we may become
In Craniosacral Therapy we often work with this first perfect cell
So translucent that light shines through it
No shadow, no defences
In perfect harmony and balance
A pure expression of life itself
As a therapist we hold this in our awareness and in our hands
Witnessing the cell waking up to this memory of its perfection and its connection to source.
Before life’s experiences became woven into the blueprint
Before the nervous system wound its tentacles through this matrix and became its master
To transition from nervous system consciousness to cellular consciousness is to shift to a new perspective
We let go of what we think we know, however brilliant and hard won
And return to universal wisdom
The wisdom of the cells that need no learning
That take their wisdom from source
Our nervous system holds trauma,
Provides us with patterns of protection and defences in response to our experiences.
Change and transformation may happen when we let go of this nervous system ‘knowing’ and its recorded patterns of information
And enter freshly into this present moment experience through cellular awareness and cellular breath
PART 2
There is a ground fluid in all the cells, the ground of our being,
Our source and our essence
In the cell I have arrived
I am home
In here
Out there
My inner world
The outer world
Flowing between the two
Transitioning effortlessly
Helping us find balance, buoyancy and resilience
The Cell membrane , a veil.
A veil between this inner and outer world,
Between conscious and unconscious
The duality of existence and perception
Every cell wall
A prison
Or a portal
How do we see beyond the veil, move beyond the veil
How do we hold this duality
Live as if there was no separation
Transition effortlessly between spirit and human
Our cellular consciousness can be our guide
With cellular awareness and cellular breath as our guide
We transition through the semi-permeable cell membrane
Cellular fluids flowing in and out of each cell.
The transitional fluid, a vehicle for change
The bridge between the fluid going into the cell and out of the cell.
Flowing in both directions;
Flowing effortlessly from being to doing, the yin and yang, living and dying
Home to presence.
Living and dying a continuum.
They must walk hand in hand.
It is not one then the other.
The nervous system has already decided how to move,
What to move towards and what to move away from
When we settle into the cellular awareness we settle into the parasympathaetic nervous system
Through the fluids we can transition and expand into the sympathetic
Between the sympathetic and parasympathetic
Flowing freely between the two without freezing or getting stuck in one motion or another
Allowing movement to be initiated from the cellular breath,
From the internal cellular fluid, allows for intuitive, creative new ways of being and moving
Giving us resilience not overwhelm
Moving us at our own internal rhythm
At the rhythm of nature and indeed our true nature ( perhaps one and the same)
Not the forced rhythm of our nervous systems that has been been programmed by our experience
Going deep into the cells is like disappearing into the void of the cosmos and resting in it
From here we can listen and feel and receive the wisdom of the universal mind,
The wisdom of our bodies
We can absorb, process digest and receive this wisdom
We yield and surrender into the cell and flow with the cellular fluids
Drop beneath all pattens to that single prefect translucent un-patterned cell
That is directly connected to source
That holds the perfect blueprint
The matrix of our constellation
That re-members
We are all part of a beautiful intricate and mysterious web that connects our cells to each other, to nature, the stars and all of life
Are we brave enough to journey there and trust what we may find..
END NOTE:
Our womb space mirrors this watery fluid filled existence
Amniotic fluid is our cellular fluid
Indeed it becomes enfolded into our CFS and remains in our spinal chord
Patterns set up in the womb may become imprinted in our cellular memory
We can explore and re-pattern these imprints
A MOVING exploration of birth, death and rebirth
More on this another time!
