I look for metaphors in nature, too, such as how the ecosystem works in such fine balance that enables life to flourish. Light perturbations in this balance can have a some impact on the ecosystem. Within the ecosystem, each part supports the other in some shape or form. Perhaps this connectivity is so complex we cannot fathom how it really works but can see just a small part of the process and eventually see 'patterns' emerge. I know, I got hooked on chaos theory a while ago lol.
When I work with people who have gone thru extremely distressing situations that fundamentally alters the way in which they see themselves, see their world, relate to other self/society, make decisions,etc., I tend to see this landscape of complex interconnections. And when we can view this landscape from a higher vantage point we can assess our problems in a more whole-istic manner (having a 'meta' view). This is so hard to do due to the distraction from more immediate needs of the person such as pain and other emotionally charged experiences that pertain to something like red or orange ray.
Once a person can relieve some distress, they seem to have more room to gain this meta-perspective to see salient themes that occur in their life (i.e., patterns). Just reframing the problem differently (based on this new perspective) can be a game-changer… perhaps bc this new understanding of one's imbalances are more proximal to the deeper issues that are highly implicit in their lives but have much influence. I guess some call it getting closer & closer to the 'heart of the matter'. We all spiral into the this 'heart' and spiral out when it becomes too much of a discomfort but eventually become more and more accustomed to it. I do see 'fragile' people, once they find faith in their healing process, become warriors in their seeking of self! remarkable.
I can assess problems using each center, but more importantly I would want to understand workings from multiple vantage points by using all the 'tools' e.g., microscope to see one center, binoculars, long range telescopes, satellites, maybe even a 'time machine' to see things from the past. I can then zoom in, zoom out.
While effecting one center could allieviate pressures, understanding the interconnectivity of centers may allow us to affect multiple areas of our beingness. Then we have more options or choices to decide what we want to do about the problem we experience. Bit easier to see something painful from a distance (e.g., imagining some distressing event playing on a TV screen gives more 'room' to breath than directly re-experiencing the event).
So I think my point is, even the act of analysis itself is a highly useful activity that can be used as a significant part of the healing process.
To me, it seems that labeling something 'red ray problem' kind of divorces/separates me from that problem. I see the limitations of using these labeling… It's true that I may experience blockage in red ray but there is power in owning it by phrasing it as 'Sh*t I am f-- angry grrr!' Do you see the issue? It's more organic and real to describe the problem from I statement.
