Physical Emotional Intelligence

By Sylvia Marina

Three times in my “K” career time moved on, life as it was stood still. The first time is insignificant now, I picked myself up, called on resilience, uttered prayers to Universe and refocused. 1997 was more difficult. My physical body was damaged. With a shattered sternum, broken collarbones, smashed ribs, misaligned vertebrae, shallow breathing, and many more bits of my body broken bruised and aching, I didn’t like the prognosis for the future. Dependant on others to clean-up after I’d attempt to feed myself, my arms had no power to lift a full cup of liquid and the food fell off my spoon. I needed people to dress and care for me. My Wheelchair became my friend. I couldn’t turn the wheels and seriously thought about a motorised chair. Surrogate kinesiology brought relief from pain and discomfort. Sadness was fast becoming a dominant emotion. I began a mantra, “I contribute to the healthy growth of my relationships”. I was grateful for everyone who helped me, but I noticed I was saying thank you with my lips but not with my heart.

Early one morning I began visualising working through my body, from the top of my head to the tips of my fingers and end of my toes silently whispering into muscles and tendons, “I contribute to the healthy growth of my relationships”. I remember it was on this day I decided to see a physiotherapist who specialised in hydro-therapy. As the physio floated me on the warm water I discovered the feeling of heaven-on-earth. In those moments I wanted to stay in the arms and care of my physio for ever. I felt connection happening in my body and strength in my limbs, I began deepening my breathing and practiced long slow breaths. I continued my daily meditations, whispering into every cell and system of my body, “I contribute to the healthy growth of my relationships”. Daily my beastie took me to hydrotherapy. More and more I was able to care for myself. I began to regain my independence. The third time…March 2020 with a year full of international travel and events I, like many, was plunged into a world of closed country borders. My mantra, “I contribute to the healthy growth of my relationships”. How to do this… refocus, purpose and re-purpose. Communication online via zoom became my friend and magical moments of person-to-person connectedness was possible again.
