This is not quite correct. When I said recon = stress, that was only one facet of recon – the lived and noticeable experience from the conflict between the ideal and that which exists. The somatic response to recon is unique to every individual, it is not uniform in the slightest. It is simply how a person deals with stress. It is important to notice that some people carry stress in the jaw, legs, throat, stomach, and some people don’t react somatically at all and it remains largely a mental / emotional phenomenon.
What we’re talking about here is stress management, not recon management. Recon requires resolution through inner engagement, expressed outwardly as “taking action.” When the ideal and the reality do not match, that conflict must be resolved or reconciled.
So yes, while recon can reflect into the body as somatic stress, and that stress can be partially alleviated through stretching, Yoga, Qigong, etc., the recon itself must be resolved through conscious action. The conscious mind must seize control of subconscious impulses and redirected toward the ideal. This is what truly resolves (or reconciles) the discrepancy between ideal and reality.
In other words, physical tension is the symptom of mental tension as they reflect each other. This is partially why people believe that resolving the physical tension will alleviate the mental tension, but the whole picture isn’t being grasped. It is not that these modalities inherently resolve the mental tension completely, but rather alleviates the bodily tension which allows the mental aspect to operate with a bit more clarity. And yet, the recon will persist, because the core issue – again, a discrepancy between the ideal and the reality – still remains.
You cannot stretch your way into becoming a millionaire. You cannot stretch your way into finding a soulmate. You cannot stretch your way into whatever the ideal is. You must become the ideal. Running a seduction sub and spending your entire focus on releasing tension from the body will not lead to success. It will actually lead into even more recon as you continue to run a title loaded with information about being out and about with attractive people.
While I enjoy reading these threads and watching people help each other, at the end of the day, this is still treating recon as some kind of symptom that must be eliminated rather than harnessed. Recon very much is information, like everything. Information that if one learns to understand, they will become exceptionally powerful because they can directly see the source of recon and can easily overcome it. In other words, you use the recon to fuel growth efforts.
The real question when experiencing recon is “why am I experiencing such a reaction to such a positive script?” This is why we started listed the “tools” in each title. It allows the individual to go through each feature and monitor their emotional response. Once the emotional trigger is identified, the individual can then take conscious action to alleviate it – and yes, stretching and relaxation can be part of that. But the core issue is still within.
As we observe the results of the anti-recon scripting, we see things like going for walks in the sun, cleaning up their work and living spaces (which I experienced just the other day, where spending a few hours deep cleaning resolved recon), listening to music, doing nothing, eating a good meal, etc. As much as we’d all like to think we can see a “pattern” here, that pattern would be inaccurate, because there’s no way to accurately predict how an individual can resolve their recon and thus the anti-recon scripting helps the user discover how to alleviate recon in their own manner. There is no single “universal” method that resolves recon.
Given that everyone is analyzing that which we have already achieved (diminished recon, actions that can resolve recon, recon resolving in real time), we personally see no reason to move in a different direction, or to impose any kind of control within the scripts, as the outward expression of the anti-recon is the individual’s natural response whether they realized it or not. I personally would’ve never linked deep cleaning my bathroom with the recon I was experiencing, but nonetheless, that is what occurred.
So again, recon cannot be limited to the somatic effects, as that is the outward expression of recon and not the source of recon itself. Recon is a natural phenomenon that occurs to most people everyday. Any time you have passed over for a promotion you thought you deserved, or dumped in a relationship you thought was solid, you experience reconciliation (the ideal does not match the reality), and this cannot be dealt with solely through the mechanism of alleviating bodily response.
