Listen2YourBody Part 16

Distracted by Dragon

Body: (Mild headache through base of skull and front of forehead. Awareness of rigid cramping feeling in lower small intestines. Muscle pain through surface muscles of my upper back. Sense of slight claustrophobia.)

*Opens window.*

*Distracted by text message. Send reply. Re-set timer.*

Body: (Increased sensation in intestines. Sudden need to go to the bathroom.)

*Get up and go to the bathroom. Re-set timer.*

Body: (Sensation in stomach is gone. Increase in headache in the front of head.)

Show me the origin of the headache.

Body: (Sensation of pain moves inside my head.)

Is this mine? No change

Is this someone else's? Resistance and movement.

Something else?

Body: (Feeling like the pain area is moving around, trying to avoid being seen.)

Help.

Guide: Call 6. (6 is one of my guides: a shape-shifting, awesome, 6 year old version of me who comes to help protect me often.)

Body: (Vision of 6 standing just under the pain area, jumping and hitting her head on the bottom of it playfully.)

Who are you?

Body: (Shy feeling.)

Show yourself.

*AMBER ALERT goes off on cell phone, Red Subaru Legacy. Distracted by alert.*

Body: (Startled feeling in chest.)

Show yourself.

VOICE (not guide): I'm afraid.

What are you afraid of?

VOICE (not guide): You will hurt me.

Why are you afraid of that?

VOICE (not guide): I'm not supposed to be here.

Where are you supposed to be?

VOICE (not guide): Somewhere else.

Why are you here then?

VOICE (not guide): I like it here.

Go home please.

VOICE (not guide): No.

6 can you help me?

Body: (Vision of 6 grabbing a creature by it's backside and pulling it out of some bushes.)

Come on, get out of there.

Body: (Vision of creature unfolding into a huge white dragon. It morphs into looking like a cobra for a moment. 6 starts bouncing on it's body, she's having fun.)

I'm not sure what to do with you. Are you here to help me?

VOICE (not guide): No.

Body: (Vision of a snake slithering, posturing itself backwards.)

Are you here to harm me?

Body: (Snake cowers back in fear. I have a feeling I can draw the white sword I generally use to destroy any entities that will not leave, but it remains on my back instead. Sudden feeling like a field of distraction comes over me. 6 lifts the veil of the distraction as if peeking under a curtain.)

Do you want to play?

Body: (Feeling of enthusiasm. 6 pulls back the curtain all the way. Sensation of bright light, a feeling of nakedness and embarrassment.)

Guide: You don't belong here. It's time to go home.

VOICE (not guide): But I don't want to go.

Yes you do. It's about to get uncomfortable for you here.

Body: (6 sits crosslegged in front of me, facing the creature, a wicked half smile on her face and her head cocked to the side menacingly.)

VOICE (not guide): Okay.

Body: (See it slithering off.)

Goodbye.

Body: (Empty feeling in chest. Tired.)

*Neck pops a few times.*

I need to sleep with my umbrella up!
