Memories
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Body memories come in various forms. Tears, shudders, tremors, painful tensing of muscles, gastro-intestinal pains or cramping, headaches, and vision problems are possible symptons. Even when our mind is unable to remember the incest, our body does.
A certain touch or sensaton can stimulate body memories. Our body is actually presenting us with a memory we need to process and let go. At such times it is important not to cause ourselves more pain by fighting to hold it back.
Sometimes visual or feeling memories will accompay body memories so that we are able to connect our bodily reaction with a past experience. If we are accepting and loving toward our body at these times, we will heal.
