Great question Nathan. I’m going to move quick, please inform me where you may need expanded explanation.
So one thing I’ve learned is it’s almost never actually about the specific content, it’s about what gets plucked in me.
You mentioned the distortions and smoke in the reports. How does it make you feel to not be able to get accurate information?
That is the question I would ask myself, and then I would really explore it by identifying the feeling and then moving my attention to the area in my body awareness that is most obviously activated. And then just be with that as uncomfortable as it is. Without trying to figure it out or change it, just being with it like I would as the detached curiosity of someone else’s perspective on it.
If I lose the focus on that, I just retrigger it by thinking about the ‘distorted information’ again and then moving my attention to the plucked string. Back and forth until I can’t find the “burn” in that charge anymore.
The really cool part of this is there is often some sort of epiphany or realization about the whole situation that emerges and may resolve as that charge dissipates.
