- Find in yourself a feeling of restlessness, a discontent with the way things are, and a desire to break free of it all. We often hide from these feelings, because we think that we might totally disrupt our lives if we explore these feelings. Tell yourself that it’s just a daydream, just a story you’re telling yourself, or a story you’re reading.
- While we often focus on our daily obligations and routines when we find our feelings of restlessness, the feelings are much deeper than that. Often, we take these powerful feelings and trap them in a little mental circle. We let ourselves feel frustrated about something over and over again with nowhere to go. Instead of focusing the restlessness on being stuck in our routines, let’s break out of the circle.
- Close your eyes and imagine walking on a narrow sidewalk through a beautiful wilderness, wearing neat, formal clothes. If you’re a person who doesn’t visualize well, it doesn’t matter. You’ll probably find that your imagination works better with sounds, or with feeling yourself in a place. See yourself there, or hear everything around you, or feel yourself in the place, touching things all around you.
- Feel the restlessness in your body, an urge to get off the path and go somewhere, anywhere else. Walk off the path into the forest.
- Your neat, formal clothes have becomes loose, comfortable clothing. You’ve grown stronger, more muscular, and a little taller. You look back at the sidewalk, and it’s grown old. There are many cracks in the sidewalk, where plants are growing through it.
- You feel a little afraid, and wonder how to find your way back to the safe, boring path.
- Feel your fear as a feeling that goes in a circle, again and again. Then imagine yourself rising a few feet into the air, and you feel your fear, spinning in a circle below you.
- Then you see that the sidewalk is a great circle going nowhere, and you see little animals, like squirrels, running around the circle, faster and faster.
- Your restlessness returns and you turn back to the forest, and you see someone approach. He/she looks exactly like you, and is an even wilder, stronger version of you. You feel the strength and power and calm radiate from him. Spend a few minutes, just walking through the forest with your guide, and feel his strength.
- See the wonder of this beautiful world through his eyes, without fear.
- Then the two of you begin running faster and faster. You run without getting tired or sore. Every step takes you farther and farther, faster and faster into the wilderness, and you know that he will protect you.
- You stop near a waterfall. With the sound of the waterfall all around, your guide puts his hands together, and a blue light radiates from his hands. You close your eyes, and your guide lays his hands over your eyes.
- When you’re ready, gently open your eyes.
Hi,
I just feel the urge to share this with you. A few months ago I just came back from a trip to brasil for three months and I did some heavy work on Bio-Energetics. So my body and mind where pretty shaken up. I felt strong, sexy, powerfull, vulnerable. I was doing some reading about man, fathers etc..
And one night I was sleeping and just early in the morning when I was just about to wake up I had this very vivid dream or sensation.
I did not see anything< i just sensed a very strong energy field entering my space, I felt the power, the fearlessness, it was an amazing experience because I met my wild man! I wrote a poem about this experience I will put it out here. It was so intense that I had to cry, because I met my superieur being. I was in Awe, and when I read the story above, I felt that sensation arising again.
We all have our wild man inside, somewhere he is sitting and waiting to claim his kingdom! To be who he is, wild man! Assaum to feel this animal, this king, this fearless focus, this power, his respect, his honour, his pride, his atonement with nature, he is nature, he breaths like a bear! In and out, not shallow but deep, reaching breaths taking and filling every space available!
Say hi to him, open the door, let down the bridge upon he can walk in to your life! And be part of who you are! Remember!
Me writing this is not covering the experience,
For all our Wild man!
