Contact Discharge

10/12/2012

As a woman in midlife I am finding it incredibly beneficial to begin a practice of kickboxing. For years I have studied & applied many processes designed to help us clear energy blocks & release this powerful force for new, creative uses. Yet the results remained incomplete until I actually encountered a practice that used targets to actually make physical contact.

There are many forms of meditation & movement that are designed to help us balance the forces of energy within us. And they all offer benefits. However, if you are like me and have spent much of your life repressing powerful emotions like anger, there comes a time when the body needs the impact of actually contacting something with force in order to free the pent up energies. This contact discharge serves a vital function in opening up the chi in the periphery nervous system allowing a greater & more natural flow as a result.

Ironically, the result is not to make one feel like they can dominate or subdue other people or beings. Instead the result is to liberate this energy to allow it to circulate freely throughout the body & create greater harmony in the Body+Mind+Spirit. Generally the need to dominate comes from insecurity and repressed energies. So finding a useful way to channel this force can improve self-confidence & allow greater ease and tolerance in our interactions with others.

In my case, my hands & feet began to heat up and burn and tingle with this release of energy. And although I have only taken a few steps on this new path, it is clear that it is incorporating every movement & meditation practice I have every had, from dance, to meditation to yoga & chi gong. But it is facilitating the flow of this life force in a new and dynamic way.

So if any of you are women like me (or men) who come from a long ancestry of emotional repression, this is one way that you can begin to break the "freeze" response in the nervous system that can result from old trauma or conditioning. It is important to remember that the ability to release & utilize this force in an organized rather than chaotic way is crucial in mastering its power. So finding a class or teacher in martial arts is very helpful. But ask if they use targets in their practice rather than simply kicking and punching the air, because the contact can be a key to shifting the old patterns in your body.

Happy Transformation!
