There has always been something magical about Aeroplanes for me. As a kid and younger adult, I loved them when I got chance to go on one. In hindsight, it is no surprise to me that they have become a big part of my adult life. But what has surprised me is a recent development of what happens now when I travel.
One of my personal patterns around emotional release now seems to happen on Aeroplanes.
When I am up high in the air and leaving a trip somewhere, I have noticed these past few years that I either cry on the plane or at the airport. I am not someone who cries often, although I embrace it when it happens as it feels like a needed release. I find it best not to look people in the eye when it is happening, as most look concerned or alarmed when they see it. But I see it as a really healthy thing and unless someone is distressed when they are crying, that release is a great thing to see in people.
On trips away, I often meet a large number of new people in a short time, deliver workshops that are high energy and that shift things for all of us, and personally adjust to a different place and frequency for the duration of my trip. It's like developing a different skin for the outside world versus the one you might have in your home.
On my recent flights back from Europe, this hit an all new level. It was a 27 hour journey, across three flights and I had 3 hours sleep the night before. As I can't sleep well on planes, this meant my emotions had plenty of stirring and releasing :-) I had 2 flights of 'vulnerability and release' and then a 3rd flight of what felt like 'lightness and celebration' (seated next to Linda, who I mention in this months energy forecast). This lightness always follows the release - I now know the pattern well.
The reason I share this is not because I feel a need to change or avoid it happening, but more because I have recognised that this is simply one of my release spaces right now. They are times when I am usually alone, leaving one set of people and circumstances and on my way to another.
An airport is a place where no-one belongs and everyone is moving or in transit. Then on an Aeroplane, we are all lifted high off the Earth and away from all of the energy and activity below us. These have unwittingly become some of my safest and strongest release spaces.
So if you ever see me in a plane seat or at an airport café, don't worry if I'm crying :-) It's just my body intelligently dropping what it needs to drop from the last experience before I move on to the next. And I have come to respect it, as it certainly wouldn't have been my environment of choice. However, I surrender to the greater intelligence of things like this that happen unto me, as much as those things I may 'decide' to do.
Where is your release location or times? Are you aware of some of your patterns and places of release?
