Navigating the Process of Personal Evolution: The Death of the Psyche

-
- A lingering “sense of death,” feeling that you are dying in some way (even though it doesn’t rationally make sense).
-
- A heavy sense of doom or un-groundedness.
-
- Persistent dreams of dying or death.
-
- feeling your feet, hands and/or bum,while breathing,on the floor, chair or bed, or even whilst standing.
-
- going out for a walk.
-
- looking up at the sky/birds/trees.
-
- putting some cold water on the back of your neck or onto your forehead.
-
- Parts of your biology are dying every day.
-
- You, as a human being, are designed to constantly die and be re-created from a cellular level.
-
- The design of the human being is to progress and evolve, to better itself, to change, and to grow/mature.
-
- Change comes from the old dying, which then allows something new to come into form.
-
- Your psyche, too, is designed to die and be re-created, as this is part of our maturation process.
-
- Your psyche is influenced by neural pathways which are constantly changing, dying, and being recreated.
-
- When belief systems, identities, and trauma are explored, old areas of solidity and certainty are “opened up.” This creates change on a variety of levels. Our behaviors may change. Our emotions may feel different or be different. Our thoughts, and our relationships to certain thoughts/beliefs, may change.
-
- With change come newness, unfamiliarity, and the unknown.
