ARTICLE person, it gives the other person more space to not be frozen with you.
Another benefit is that as you drop into your ‘clear shape’, you tend to notice how you are distorting yourself when you interact with others, which points you to areas within yourself that need inner work. In addition, over time, you learn to interact with others from a more fluid place that has its own center, rather than centering itself in the shape it acquires with others.
There are a couple of potential glitches though that can distort this spiritual re- shaping. First is that if one has gotten frozen in a particular shape, one tends to take that shape into one’s spiritual process. Then you may feels freer within your frozen shape but you will still be frozen in it. The fix is to consciously allow your- self to feel how your meditation wants to shift you on the physical, emotional and mental levels. Feel how it wants to align your whole being. Don’t just fixate spir- itually or do the meditation through your spiritual body. Engage all of your human- ness.
Second possible glitch is having a spiritual practice that is itself not aligned with what is truly clear and free within you. Then the re-shaping of yourself will have distortions in it. It may still serve to loosen your frozen shape, but the perspective it gives you will not be a clear one. For instance, if you are in a sexual relationship and have a spiritual practice that emphasizes celibacy, whatever shape that gives you will create a celibacy filter and a body disconnect through which you view your partner, which will be distorting.
One little trick, for those who have a deep connection with a truly free being, such as Ammachi or Neem Karoli Baba, or Jesus, or some similar being, is to imagine that the world is their ashram, and then practice remembering and feeling that you are in their ashram as you go about your business in the world. Most of you would behave and feel different towards those around you, as well as different within yourself, if you were in one of their ashrams. The holiness of these places and the presence of these beings have a strong impact on our consciousness and our emotions. You can use the sense of being in their ashrams to keep coming back to a centered, clear shape. And once you start to practice this, it will quickly stop seeming like something you are imagining, for the world is a holy place and the presence of these beings is everywhere; we have just forgotten how to recognize this. Remembering will bring you back to a clear and centered shape, as well as open your heart.
So, melt the frozenness of your shape. Choose a meditation that brings freedom and clarity to your whole being, and learn to be a shape-shifter. It will help your relationships and deepen you on your path.
