Default high temperatures and your feelings

I've noticed that I've been feeling upset and having bad memories come into my head for no reason the past couple of days - I think it's to do with this heat wave coming over Melbourne. Even when I meditate (which normally stops all these bad thoughts) - I feel this oppressive heat and stuffiness - and it really makes me upset.

Is this normal - or am I th eonly one to be affected by heat? I know I love the cold, I always feel great in the winter, no matter what happens.

How would you deal with it?

I used to have a terrible time on those hot windy days, I saw a psychic (sorry) and she told me that in a past life, I'd been a french legionnaire and died in the desert. I did EFT on that, and now the heat doesn't scare me at all... I also got evaporative cooling...

Joy to you
Hazel

I would first look at my moment and see what I have:
I'm feeling upset.
I'm running the past through my head (bad memories).
The heat feels oppressive and stuffy.
I want to blame my upset on the heat.
I want to say the presence of the heat and my memories is wrong (I shouldn't have these) and I am pushing them away from myself now.

The outer environment is a reflection of my inner environment. So I'm feeling oppressive and stuffy inside... sounds like i'm getting pressurized over something and its probably emotional.

I'm upset and I shouldn't be. Well, there's resistance to my moment. That would cause me to pressurize inside. Have I expressed, out loud, how I feel in the moment? Maybe that would relieve some of the pressure.

And my mind is dwelling in the past, which is also resisting being in the moment. Even when I meditate, which is how I deal with this, i can't get any relief. This adds to my feeling of upset too.

I need to reign in the mind and focus it on here and now and I need to express how I feel in the moment. When my mind strays I just bring it back to what I'm doing AND create thoughts that support myself, rather than unpleasant thoughts about the past.

Why am I doing this to myself? Is there something in the moment that I'm wanting to experience and I'm not letting myself go there? Is there a new awareness that I'm trying to ground in? All I can do is stay in the moment, open up some space inside and see what develops.

Thank you Dharma, that was a really nice post and really resonated with me. We are responsible for our reactions.

RT and FlyingMan,
You're welcome. I am dealing with some back pain right now and am currently dealing with the same type of stuff. Glad I could share.
