Wonderful to see you share on here once more. I’ve been thinking of you again this week!

These shifts you are experiencing are incredible. I’m sure I remember you doing emotion codes and there’s a lot about feeling in here (something that’s been one of the bigger catalysts for me, in addition to all the other healing work).

Do you feel that’s been the instigator of such a big shift for you too?

Feeling? Yes. I am no longer shutting down but feeling everything no matter how hard. I have known for a long time that shutting down, suppressing emotions, repressing my True Self is unhealthy. But it is oh so hard to change these ingrained habits when it feels like they're keeping us safe. ☺️ I am still doing emotion, Belief and body code too. And somatic healing and somatic practice which I forget about but seems to have become embodied. Of course there are times when I become overwhelmed too. I am human. 😅

Sounds like you were a bit more clued up than me then😆 I was so numbed out and emotionally unavailable I didn’t know anything about it.

It is challenging to transform these pathways. It takes A LOT of practice. I used to think everyone would benefit from what I’ve been doing but now I know differently. Whilst the pay offs are big, This journey is not for the faint hearted.

There is no way I could get to where I am now without the support I’ve put in place for myself (and pay for). I got quite far on my own and have taught myself a heck of a lot but I still needed to someone to invest time in me and hold space for all the messiness as I learned how to heal.

Only because I have done training and had coaching for years and years on and off. I feel very privileged to have had the resources but things are changing and I am now very much embodying it all and much less reliant on others. I do still need support though but it's not so much the cognitive sort but more energy clearing. 😃

Yes it all def needs embodying😆 … for the biggest payoffs anyway. I’ve started to realise learning the lingo isn’t the same as walking the walk.

Same re the cognitive and energy clearing. I had counselling for 3.5 years. The day my counsellor said “you seem really relaxed” was the day I realised I didn’t need to go back. Took me years to process, was counselling what I needed? Couldn’t I have just gone straight into the yoga and bodywork etc? The answer was, yes, the counselling was essential. The rest came along when I was ready to explore those depths. Though of course I didn’t know what I was getting myself in for. By then I was letting my body lead the way.

'Knowing how I can deal with the worst case scenario shows me that I can cope.'

This seems like a good, practical approach to deal with whatever hardships or crises we encounter in life, Karen.

It sort of primes our minds and makes us realize that we're actually capable of dealing with such things.

It works for me Raveen, though my husband prefers to ‘cross each bridge’ as he gets to it. 😁 This drives me slightly mad as I need to gather information and work things out BEFORE we’re on the bridge and it’s burning down around us. 🥴
