Addressing the location of wounds and pains in some ways can be seen as redundant with the topic, "Creating rituals - Healing and facing the pain of the past" and "Creating rituals - Healing Petitions." The main difference is that creating a healing petition addresses something that raised itself as a significant issue to be addressed or we feel has a deeper significance that needs a deeper exploration. Creating rituals around the location of pain and wounds that we have experienced and lie in our past is about surfacing residual patterns that have not "raised their head" so to speak to be an conscious issue." Yet these wounds and pains represent body memories and residual patters that may still bind our creative life energy. This is especially true if we still have feelings about the experience we had. In any case, whether the wounds and pains are "screaming at us" for attention or simply lie buried seemingly long forgotten in the past our effort in the ritual and/or metatheater are about surfacing underlying causes which gave rise to the original experience. It needs to be remembered in how we create our experiences and how we create the reality we experience by how we focus our attention and awareness we either chose or agreed to participate in the experience we had. The question is "Why?" and whether or not the experiences served or did not serve us. Although many of the health related issues such as accident, illness, and the like may be of the past, there may be residual patterns of believing and thinking which continue to exist within our belief structure. These can lead to future issues. In looking for the cause we need to look to occasion or occasions where we experience/experienced the unhealthy condition These rituals are about bringing the focus of our attention and awareness into the area that gave rise to the experience we have. Then, in the awareness of our attention, we can look at our belief structure to see if what we think and believe serves us or doesn’t serve us. It is not really about address the actual cause that gave rise to the unhealthy condition. Rather it is about looking at the structure of beliefs and thinking that created the inner environment for the condition we experienced. That is what needs to be changed. One way that has been found to bring the focus of our attention and awareness into the belief structure which give rise to the would or pain is to anoint the location and/or a lay of hand on the area. It is to touch each wound, scar, painful or disfunctional body part while requesting the understanding and being open to what needs to be done to release any residual energy. For example one could explore their asthma condition while continuing their medical treatment in whatever form it takes. One could perform the following ritual. One would touch and focus on the chest region. They, or another, would recite some type or kind of focusing "prayer." Preferably it is a prayer the individual created. Or, they at least added their own unique flavor to the "prayer." The "prayer" could be something like, "I open myself to surface the root of my asthma so I am no longer smothered. I am free to breath for myself and breath in life. I no longer need to feel stifled, repressed or suppressed. I am free to cry and release all my pain. I am safe and empowered to be who I am and true to myself to take charge of my own life. I am free." In doing such a simple ritual as this, we need to become very mindful and aware of what surface both in our mind and in our body. What arises maybe be immediate or over time. What arises maybe be subtle or very strong and intense. There may be thoughts, ideas, images, remembrances of past events or people, or even that which are bizarre or risqué. Similarly there may be feelings in the body which seem totally unrelated to asthma or the lungs. Whatever arises needs to be honored and we need to ask and explore the question, "Why did this arise and not something else?" If we pull the string on what arises we will begin to uncover, if not uncover, the root of the issue we face. What we do about the root cause or issue is another question and another line of exploration.
