Questions for Appropriate Boundaries




Affirmative Questions designed specifically for
learning and affirming Effective Communications of position & intention,
Maintaining Clarity for appropriate Connection, Direction, & Protection.
Sections on "Cording" and 'Related References' follows this section.
Including description for "Positive Response Questions" (PRQ's)







How am I ENJOYING
simply asking each of these questions
as appropriate for me,
one line at a time as a thought, feeling, and/or image,
and letting the thought, feeling, or image go,
with faith that the answers come.
in Divine Order, Divine Love, & Divine Timing ?



How am I most enjoyably realizing
How I am safely in charge of my feelings,
exercising appropriate awareness and management of feelings,
including discerning between my own feelings and others feelings
-- including those of past situations --
organizing and/or releasing them as most appropriate
for current and future management of energy flow and communications
-- within and to and from myself --
in Divine Order, Divine Love, & Divine Timing ?



How am I most enjoyably Realizing
How I allow all energy(s) to flow
to where it most truly needs to go,
accepting what I need and letting go the rest,
according to the highest needs of all concerned
-- in Divine Order, Divine Love, & Divine Timing --
regardless of the nature or quality, source or intended destination,
and regardless of the sender's intended purpose ?



How am I enjoying the recognition of Energy
-- when appropriately communicated to me --
and the most appropriate and effective response to it as necessary,
accepting what I need and letting go the rest,
in Divine Order, Divine Love, & Divine Timing ?



How am I most enjoyably realizing
How I am safely in charge of my feelings,
as I facilitate awareness of my desires, needs, and priorities,
and as I appropriately manage all of these --
and as I discern any differences between them,
and any appropriate action those differences might imply need for,
in accordance with Divine Order, Divine Love, & Divine Timing.



If anything is Possible -- how good can it be ?
If anything is possible, what's God got for me ?
truly who am I and What do I know -- Eternally ?



How am I most enjoyably and appropriately realizing
how I am manifesting the reality that
I am safely in charge of my mood and my happiness,
of deciding what energy I take in and what energy I give out,
of how any in-taken energy effects my mood or health - internally or externally,
of who and what I am truly responsible to and for,
and that I am, therefore, more and more safely in charge
of what kinds of interactions with people and things I experience ?



How am I most appropriately enjoying making it safe for me
as I take charge of my life, as I stand up for myself,
and as I am more and more present
as who I truly am in all circumstances
more and more each day
in Divine Order, Divine Love, & Divine Timing.
How am I enjoying learning and feeling that today ?
ANSWERS ARE FACILITATED -- Thank you, God!



How am I enjoying as much as possible
the most appropriate employment of conflict resolution
-- between parts of myself
that have been perceived as separate or having conflicting needs or agendas ?
How am I most appropriately enjoying the realization that
all that I perceive myself to be --
even if I that seemed to include various aspects, sub-personalities, and roles
(including inner-child and inner-parent) --
is working and playing together as one,
and so is all one united in common purpose,
all in Divine Order, Divine Love, and Divine Timing ?



How am I effectively responding
to potential emotion-stirring current or past situations,
making consciously sure that I clarify
current emotion from past or stored emotion
and clarify true need to allow or stimulate appropriate feeling
for true purpose attainment ?
e.g. When I journalize potentially painful events,
how am I writing about them, and how am I responding to my writing,
and still keeping all concerned in a context that is open
to the most positive and creative development?
How am I most appropriately and safely doing this
and facilitating any necessary grieving and/or responding
to specific individuals and/or the Universe
in a constructive,responsible, and timely manner ?



How am I doing this and performing any constructive, therapeutic "reframing"
of these events as memories in an effective way?
(i.e. with compassion, unconditional love and courageous self-honesty
regarding aspects of self)
How do I best perform the above such that
I maintain and/or increase my positive oriented motivation
in accordance with Divine Order, Divine Love, & Divine Timing?
How does this feel? ANSWERS ARE FACILITATED!



How am I most enjoyably realizing
I AM SAFE TO BE HERE & NOW in, and taking up, all the Space & Time I need,
to to feel and Trust, that support is present for me:
for basic (physical) needs met, including feeling loved, accepted, & supported
by MotherGod & FatherGod, MotherEarth & FatherSpace.
I Am Safe to feel support,
at least someday perhaps, even by my biological Mother & Father
- as proxies for the eventual realization of the Divine Parental support,
and from their Soul Level as vehicles
for my own realization of all the above.
I Am Thus or otherwise providing more than sufficient protection for myself
- even as I communicate my empowered presence
whether actively or passively expressing my 'Beingness',
including my health, my talents or capacities,
or my attractiveness on any level of my Being.



How am I most appropriately transforming
any desire (that I might entertain) to "fix" others
into truly useful endeavors,
toward the facilitation of healing and wholeness for all concerned ?



How Am I enjoying greater and greater results
Of Acknowedging my and others' capabilities
to each parent our Inner Families,
as my approval is my own & their's their own,
based on each our accelerating capacities
to parent our own inner children ?



How am I enjoying appropriately detached awareness
of my emotional body's dynamics as related to
past in-applicable empathy with others' expectations/approval,
and thus now providing supportive energy and resources,
for an appropriate degree of "emotional sensitivity,"
to self and others' feelings/emotions,
as well as for psychic & extra-sensory discrimination and integrity
if/as necessary, whether or not they may be in physical proximity,
responding appropriately & effectively to others communications,
whether or not an intended communication is made on whatever level,
in all my personal and other relationships !?!



How does it feel as I am in charge, consciously and/or unconsciously,
of my psychic connectedness & integrity,
of who & what I am actually responsible for and not,
and acknowledge the same for others ?!?



     

Statement of Integration (Long Form)
I acknowledge my Total Being (Body-Mind-Spirit-Higher Power) capacity
to effectively, efficiently, and safely search for, find, & develop
any & all answers & solutions that these questions ask for or imply.
As I simply ask each question,
one line at a time as a thought, feeling, and/or image,
and letting the thought, feeling, or image go,
with faith that the answers come.
I acknowledge that the answers &/or solutions to these questions
have manifested on some level of consciousness
and/or dimension of Life in the Universe (!)
and are manifesting with perfect timing
for gestation and completion
in this dimension of Time & Space "on Earth as it IS in Heaven" (!)

-- perhaps through communications that I sense within
(via thoughts, feelings, imagery, etc.),
&/or through my external experience(s) with things, situations, people, etc.
I accept this done: ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS ARE FACILITATED (!)
according to my highest needs, in accordance
with Divine Order, Divine Love, & Divine Timing.
Today and days to come I thank my Higher Power/Higher Self for showing me
what such enjoyable and appropriate answers and solutions feel and look like!

("appropriate" = in accordance with most practical application
of Divine Order, Divine Love, & Divine Timing.
"safely" = free of inappropriate judgment, intimidation, or pain of any kind.)


 

Statement of Integration (All Purpose Short Form)
How am I ENJOYING the right Questions and Answers
that are leading me to REALIZATIONS from this moment forward
step by step as I AM attaining my highest POTENTIAL ?
As I simply ask each question
and then simply let the thought go, with faith that the answers come.
What is the most appropriate QUESTION for right now ?

THANK YOU Self-Body-Mind-Spirit-Higher-Power
for manifesting ANSWERS to appropriate Questions in
DIVINE Order, DIVINE Love, and DIVINE Timing !

A Word about "Cords"

          *Cords* are emotional (some would say 'empathic' or 'psychic') connections to other people. The most common example is a mother's connection to her son or daughter. Most people are unaware of them. Twins often have such cords. But more subtle are those between mates and lovers, and anyone you have strong emotional connections with, or have attachment to his/her healing as a result of your investment of time and energy. Including with people in ones past who are not (consciously) thought about anymore, whether the emotions are positive or negative. The essential point here is that cords are related to boundaries. And most can be related to energy integrity, just as walls are related to security. And although most people may not be aware of having such attachments, let alone what it's actually about, let alone it's critical relationship to burnout. And And that's why it's good to become aware of these cords and to cut or attinuate/qualify some of them. Because these energy dynamics are actually big factors for many people in the health service trades.
          Hint for those who like to contemplate or apply these considerations: Cording has a great deal to do with attitudes, definitions, conscious and often unconscious beliefs. That includes about *caring* (compassion vs sympathy), expectations of results for your caring, *responsibility* (for whom and what), as well as *intimacy* - but not necessarily the latter for any given situation.
          There are techniques and systems for dealing with these, in case you wondered.


          For attitude considerations you might look for these essays (also linked via the Body-Mind Integration home page):
          "Compassion, Healing, and The Practitioner - and Detouring 'Burn-out'" and "Questions for Boundaries" (THIS PAGE) - boundaries being as much about communications as it may be for many other aspects.

There are other instructive essays on cording via the TEXT files in the "Files" folder at my site:
          * WARDING (CordRemoval), also includes notes on "Basic Qigong" and "Energy Redistribution", Power of the Spoken word & "Gestalt Positivity" as related to Pain.
          * "Chalice Streaming Tube Of Light")

        ABOUT THE SYMBOLIC ART: The symbols for the "Chalice" - or Holy Grail - that I often use are drawn essentially from ancient archetypes - including the symbol(s) composing what is known as "The Star of David," which symbols actually pre-date(s) any such reference by many centuries or more. They all have their own rich meanings as related to the spiritual dilemma or paradox, balancing or synthesis of qualities (such as Yin & Yang), and healing transformation. Here, the Chalice is essentially a "cauldron" for the balancing and integrating of Humanity with the Divine - individually and communally. The "Chalice-Star" over the three traveling magi is used in my Solstice or Christmas Card design to represent our quest - in this earthly dimension of body, mind, and spirit - for the inner-most Source of one's spirit and faith -- whether that would be the Inner Christ, Inner Buddha, Inner Mohammed, or the Divine Mother's Spirit connecting All Life, etc. You may find out the actual origins of my relationship with these archetypes at Home Page for Body-Mind-Chalice Integration (and related artwork).

          AUTHORSHIP & ORIGINS: Unless otherwise noted under the titles or artwork, all essays, artwork, prayers, pages at my web site, as at my previous site at AOL (Fall'97 to Spring'06) -- and with exception of a very few and diminishing numbers of the solid color and cloudy-sky color backgrounds, bullets & bars, and the logo/headers from or revised for others' sites (as noted) -- has been composed, created & rendered, and web-authored © by myself, Christopher Pringer, practitioner in Body-Mind-Energy Integration Therapies since 1984, ordained minister since 1987. Actually on August 17, 1987, "Harmonic Convergence Day", with New Age Fellowship, Seattle, WA, more recently with S.H.E.S. (International Assembly of Spiritual Healers & Earth Stewards Congregations, SHES.Org) in 2001 for/as "Chalice-Bridging Body Mind & Soul Ministries" Most of the personal health-oriented essays at this site were written in the early 90's, as compared to the social/political/peace oriented pages since 1997, with the proposed Fascia Memory Research Project first published in 1996, and the "Evo-Trends" perspective in 1995. I have been gradually improving their style over the years, including the dates of revisions therein.

          DISCLAIMER: None of my writing or artwork is intended to be, to replace, or discourage the appropriate use of, medical attention and/or treatment, but as educationally informative for the purpose of overall health enhancement and preventative maintenance.     So far as I know, I have not quoted any other person without saying so. I have emulated a number of writers and teachers, so I wouldn't be surprised if many of my statements have similar words and meanings as they. In any case, I have always tried to say what I believed, and when knowingly restating someone else's words, I say so (except perhaps in annotated links to their web sites).

          I began my studies in multi-level self-healing when in the service, in Thailand in the Winter of '73. The focus then was on self-help psychology, consciousness, and eastern and western mystical perspectives. This continued through my university studies in Norman, OK '74-'79. 1980 took me into naturopathic studies, primarily nutrition and herbology when I lived in Oklahoma City. Not seeing the naturopathic doctor route as affordable at the time, I found direction via a five-evening massage course, Fall '83. That led to a six month professional practice, followed up with the training in Sante Fe, NM, '84-'85 (detailed in my on-line brochure).

        Since then I have practiced massage and/or healing facilitation for others, initially in Santa Fe, NM (during/after my training), then San Louis Obispo, CA, and Seattle, WA (with more courses along the way). This includes exploring personal challenges and self-healing methodology. A session may include various energy-body-work modalities, Body/Energy-Awareness based Preventative Health Maintenance Instruction, Cyclist Therapy, office stress treatments (in a chair), or only Reiki or relaxation work in total silence. A client chooses based on whatever stress, pain, or concerns are present at that session. A client may request a "Body Pattern Reading," as well as various massage/bodywork therapies, all of which techniques are listed & described in the Body-Mind Integration Therapies Brochure. Individual, program, and 3-6 week interval-based rates are available. Testimonials are available (on a separate page).

My professional interests have primarily centered in three areas:

        1) Body-Centered Psycho-Spiritual Process (as in "Hakomi" style of) counseling and bodywork, including as assessing an individual for the most efficient means of addressing connective tissue injury, short and long term (on physical and/or emotional levels). Related are the basic hows & whys of storage & release of tension and "body memory" in the muscles and fascia. And in the fascia memory storage dynamics - referring to the technical aspects of neuro-physical interface between connective tissue, emotion, and the brain);
        2) "Chalice-Bridging" style chakra balancing, including Reiki (energy work) - based in the view that we each are a bridge between Father & Mother God/dess, & thus form a chalice for the balancing & integrating of Humanity with the Divine. Or at least ideally so, as our systems are *attuned* & our batteries are *charged* & we fullfill our true role as human embodiments of Spirit.
        3) Therapy for Cyclists and other athletes, related injuries, and preventative maintenance. In April 2011 I responded to a request to offer Century Ride Packages (pre & post 100+ mile rides). My experience with cyclists at that point, including for minor and major injuries, tallied to over 1200 hrs.

My training includes
        Over 1700 hours of classes and practicum
, including with the New Mexico Academy of Massage and Advanced Healing Arts in Santa Fe, NM (1984-85), and with various accredited bodywork and therapy workshops (`86-present), as well as 100 hours training with the Alchemical Hypnotherapy Institute (1989), over 100 hrs apprenticeship with healing practitioner Robert "Mitra" (`85-`86), 150 hours apprenticeship with Silena Heron in Herbal Studies (`83-`84), Training, Certification, & Empowerment as Reiki Master (3rd Degree Johrei, 1991; Kundalini Reiki to 9th Level w/Gtunmo & Devic Template, 2004). For the detailed version my training, you may go to the latter half of the Body-Mind Integration Therapies Brochure. Which also includes (and relates context for) links to essays elaborating on aspects of imbalance and injury, assessment, and healing.





Personal Notes or Quotes on Body-Mind Awareness [ cp, 12'07 ]

BODY-MIND AWARENESS, at the core of preventive health awareness, is one of the most simple, efficacious, & cost-effective forms of HEALTH INSURANCE there can be. Hence, massage is far from just "a luxury item," and bodywork therapies can be indispensable for the healing of certain conditions.

MUSCLES RELATE TO ATTACHMENTS - to what we use to take our stance, to hold our place, to perceive and respond to our environment, and to extend who we are and/or want to be. Or used to be (in too many cases, perhaps).
That speaks not only to the body's condition and function, but to how it communicates awareness of where one is along one's path (of becoming who one truly is).

THE BODY IS . . . among other amazing things, a unique communications system -- intimately linked with one's TOTALITY.
Establishing rapport with one's body can be a PATH to self realization.

ONE OF MY DREAMS is a society where/in all children are taught how to feel/see/read their own body-mind communications such that preventive health maintenance eventually becomes second nature. And actually, for the most part, they would be encouraged to re-awaken and build upon what I believe to be a NATURAL INCLINATION - conscious self-healing and continuous expansion of awareness.

And the above goes FOR ALL OTHER ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES, to the degree that one utilizes them to improve such awareness and causative/pro-active connection with one's body-mind, and to employ the most effective tools for maintaining/improving one's health under any given condition or circumstance.

WHY DOES BODY AWARENESS = OPTIMUM HEALTH INSURANCE ?
And How does "Body-Parenting" relate to that in Body-Mind Integration ?
