Fridays Feeling

I do enjoy these creative acronyms, as a part of the therapeutic process. Most times it brings a change in the perception and reframes to a more manageable or amicable context. I read one the other day that describes Beautiful Intelligence Tenacious Caring Honest. Now that just resonated with me, as it is captures the characteristics to which we intend the slur to describe, but in a positive manner.

Back in 1969 Thomas Harris came out with the self-help book I'm OK- You're OK as a means to explain and promote Transactional Analysis. Although, I may not ascribe to the methods of TA, I do like the context of self acceptance, from where you are currently.
It is amazing how many times I hear, I am broken, damaged, or dumb, loser, etc, in the vocabulary to describe who a person thinks they are. I am not sure when self-deprecating became an extension of humilty, but that s**t has to stop!

What inspired me today, was partially fueled by an interaction, I experienced earlier in the week. The correlation that as a hypnotherapist or a part of the Mental health realm, some how I should be more tolerant, understanding or accepting of being disrespected or having my good nature tread on. That assumption got me to reflecting on how many associations we make about others, the assumption of who they are, and the conclusion of their character.

We are, all works in progress, we are all far from having our p**p in a group , and winging it in the best way we know how in the moments and with the curve balls thrown our way. There is a well known quote, attributed to Buddha, about holding on to anger, is like drinking poison and expecting the other to die. Self retribution is about as useful as ni***es on a Bull, so how about we start with taking care of you ASAP.

Be well.

Wisdom Wednesday

It would appear the Universe continues to bring this particular theme forward to me, so I will continue to share. I think that wisdom shows us there are lessons to be learned from History, the world's, the nation, the culture and the personal and there are incredibly valuable resources and blueprints on , probably the most important lesson, how not to do something that particular way. There is also the quiet humm of Wisdom, that so very many of us miss.

I believe we are tremendously fortunate, if we do get to view our past, our scars and our hardships through the lens of learning instead of finding fuel to feed and perpetuate the victim mode, or the blame game. So many people waste their time in search of the answers to " why me", when there will never be a satisfactory response to facilitate closure.
In observing the insignificant victories we achieved, the mornings we did get up, the meals we did scrape together and eat, the shower we did take, even if a little too hot, the smile we were able to crack, even though every part of our thoughts reminded us there was nothing to smile about, are a huge part of our healing and more significantly our empowerment.

As a hypnotherapist, I chose to focus my areas of practice on 2 specific areas; those who suffer with chronic pain and those who experience rampant anxieties. I share this, because in both facets the history, the past, of the individual is where invaluable tools and skills exist for immediate use.

An example, I use frequently in the treatment of pain control, is to remember a time or imagine a place, where you felt calm, relaxed, or vibrant and incredibly exhilarated, which ever your UC mind may take you too, and in that thought and memory, really step into that physical state as deep as you can as completely as you can. Now here is where the mind can transcend time, for our future use. A memory from the past, can be accessed so vividly that it alters the reception of our current communication for pain receptors, so we can practice to enable neuro-plasticity, allowing us a skill and state of mind for our future.

We have volumes of positive resources to access, just look.

Be well

Motivational Monday.

I wrote a piece earlier this week, making reference to you being the swimmer which survived all others, conquered the o**m to create the zygote, which developed to produce the unique, magnificent wonder, which we call you. For whatever reason, the Universe continues to present that topic to me, so there is something I still need to cover.

I am no genius, I am not a guru, and I cannot tell you or anyone including myself, just what the purpose of being here in this flesh suit really means. I don't believe, whether you hold beliefs in monotheism, polytheism, or atheism, that the reason and intent of your presence on this spinning rock was to be in servitude for anything or anyone, for that matter. Our survival and eco system, do operate off currency, and having the means of earning that usually involves being a cog in someone else's wheel, until we discover a means to coordinate our dreams into a means to earn, as well. Always remember and never forget, never forget to always remember, the JOB is a tool to provide a way of life, Your LIFE was not to provide just for the Job.

The meat of my thoughts are, although I haven't the foggiest clue as to what your purpose is while you are in the flesh suit, I can say with all passion and conviction, you didn't conquer from the very beginnings to be a slave to misery, depression or victimization. Every single person owns a full menu of emotions and intelligence to be explored and USED. Some, have opted to place one if not both in the likes of a plaster cast, with similar results; the hurt ,damaged area may be protected but the system suffers atrophy as well. Rehabilitation service does not just apply to the physical, but crosses to mental and emotional as well.

That is where I find my purpose, being a part of the emotional and mental rehab, and like the physical, it can be painful when first starting, but the payoff in stretching and developing your emotional range, and mental strength pays off in spades.

Let me know if you are ready to Crack open the plaster!
Be well

Tuesdays Treatment

I was originally going to write this morning about vibration and how we are both antenna and transceiver, but then this beautiful image came along.
For any of you who follow or read my posts, may already know my commitment to PMA, but this extension just made it even more delightful. There are sufficient resources and reasons to tap into, if you choose to be negative or confrontational, and plenty of individuals who practice that behavior, so I opt to advocate a different path.

Kill em with Kindness, for it drives the naysayer bonkers, and it costs absolutely nothing to extend.

Here is a point blank reminder; you are in this particular form, for a definite period of time, no one gets out alive so what would ever prompt you to experience your existence being miserable?

Need a change in filters, want a spring clinging of all the emotional dust bunnies accumulated, consider letting them go, so you actually get to enjoy the spins around the sun.

Being an Emotional Well Being coach, I get jazzed being a part of the amazing release from the stinkin thinking that plagues so many.

Monday's Mindset

" I AM WHO I AM" is not only a crucial quote to Moses, but also one of the most powerful declaratives to be spoke for each of us.
I am not hear to discuss Exodus, I'll leave that to you to discover, but more so to reveal to you the significance of such a simple phrase, I AM, as a core component and explanation towards how you currently feel and react and how you can modify those states of being, with intention and control.

I AM is followed by the three dots... and it is incredibly powerful to how we conceptualize self. I AM... sick... depressed... broke... unworthy... damaged.. etc. I notice this, and not just recently, that we identify oursleves by our damages, our illness or difficulties, as the label we conditioned ourselves to be, so the significance of "I am who I am" which could be the empowering cry of individuality, I am WHO I am, take it or leave vibe, turns into a defensive explanation.

The fantastic appeal of the poster/meme, is mostly that it offers a multitude of samples to complete the energy, the vibration and the thought after the ellipsis, sending back into your brain, particularly when spoken aloud, the option of potential and affirmations, building up a healthier network of identity and interpersonal references.

You are not just a thing, affliction or past behavior, you are incredibly more dynamic than a single faceted character.
It is my wish for you, that you can see the significance and value to work towards the I AM WHO I AM, as a declaration to everyone that this is Me power.

Let me know, if this rings a bell in how you have pigeonholed who you were, and not who you are.

Be well

Wednesday's Wisdom.

I don't know what your opinions might be on Energy costs, but everytime I get my hydro and gas bill, I am painfully reminded how extremely precious it actually is!
It would appear that a Kw or KJ is getting to be the same value as AU. Enough of my commiserating, allow me to get to the point.

We do not realize how valuable our own resources are, taking them for granted, until such time as they are not accessible.
The worry and sweat that forms on our brow, when we know we have been riding the yellow gas tank symbol for far to long, the panicked feeling when the the last sliver of bars is now in the red and not a charging chord in site, all testament to our ability to recognize the importance of energy.
The energy we carry is valuable and precious, and there are plenty of instances where we never realize we have a leak or slow drain, in thought or worry, seeping it away.
Someplace here there is a law of conservation, energy can neither be created or destroyed, it juat takes on a different form.
So if you are expending your emotional energies on areas that are highly draining and extremely futile, it is no different than turning on every single appliance, light fixture and heater, and letting them run for a couple days, bloody expensive.

There are emotional vampires, and wasteland lurking in the distance, as well as oasis and charging stations which we can encounter, and it is your choice which option is selected to receive your incredibly valuable resource.

Stop spinning your wheels, it is time to gain traction and get moving, towards what you would prefer to experience in your life. Learning about where the leaks are taking place, where a tap is dripping, is a function of the therapeutic process.
In the many different forms and modalities out there, I believe they all center around similar objectives, which are working through blockages, residual build-up, injured areas, and opening up a healthier flow.

If you are tired and depleted, this may be your dashboard light to reach out for that recharge.

Be well

Treatment Tuesday.

Consider for a few moments, how much stimuli your senses are receiving every single moment in time. Now consider, from that massive list, how much actually makes it to your conscious awareness, and you will realize that our brains are one huge filtering system. Here is where things get very interesting; the list of criteria to prioritize what makes it through and what is ignored is maliable and constantly changing. My speculation is the primary function is for survival so being aware of dangers,and threats. Welcome to anxiety.
Second order could be preservation, sustainability of your life. Learning or ruminating about past experiences and finding lessons or wisdom. When no lessons are apparent emotional attachment of disappointment, the seeds of depression perhaps. That is the non directed sequence, which flows.
What happens when we direct the awareness and flow of energy with more intentions?

By default, like the natural filtering, there are going to be inputs which are benched, and dismissed, that is the nature of the beast when it comes to how much our brains can actually handle. The trade-off is that you have influence with what you are processing.

Working towards awareness and attention empower what is prevalent on your radar, fear, despair, hope, and humanity.

Motivational Monday.

Previously, I wrote about how much I enjoyed people watching, with one of my favorite places being airport arrival gates. I believe that particular area, because the intensity of emotions that are expressed are like little shots of espresso for an empathic kind of person. Reflecting on this, also reminds me that inside everyone there is a character, a personae which you may never get to experience or view.

I can certainly take the intended interpretation that everyone you meet has a version of themselves few, if any ever get to encounter. Like the buildings blocks for the R.A.K. movement, the acknowledging and appreciation that each and every one of us is going through s**t we don't know about, and Kindness is free so, share Kindness whenever you can does a body good.

I also acknowledge that part of the therapeutic process, albeit psychological, psychoanalytical, or spiritual, are the catalyst for journeys more internal than not. That indeed inside every person you know there is a person you don't know... YET, can as easily be applied to our self- development and discoveries. The image of who we are, the understanding of ourselves is mostly fictional, when you care to investigate and reflect. For some, it is fragile, a shadow, an existing without lofty goal or aspirations, self conscious and unsure. For others the opposite end of the scale, self absorbed, confident, full-on bravado, and bluster, the center of attention, and a powerhouse of determination.
And in-between the combination of characteristics available, acting as name tags to identify who we beleive web actually are.
None of these characters or personality profiles are facts or accurate just so you are aware. You have no means of comprehending, the potential you laying in wait. Even if I drop the potential aspect, and focus you awareness on the characteristics, qualities and talents resting in dormant mode, awaiting to be stirred from the hibernation of routines.

A social catchphrase I used to hear frequently was " you don't know me" as both the cautionary for judgements and in defense of intentions. I have come to realize, I still don't know me fully.

Friday's Feeling

What a coincidence, that this particular image was a part of my inspiration this morning. With temperatures this past week soaring to plus 20C in our province, the average, locally at +9C, the snow is receding faster than my old hairline! Brings many of us to thoughts of spring cleaning, the cob website, the dust bunnies, the musty smells which have accumulated on the walls and ceilings from 5 months of cooking and living in a closed environment, without the fresh air, through the winter.
We don't really notice the difference, unless you leave on vacation or a short trip, letting the senses reset, for when you return, how musty a home can become.

Our minds, get that way as well! Just as cluttered, with emotional spills, the temperament boiling over, the fear mongering, swept in the corner, the self- doubt forming that thin film on the walls everywhere, not obvious with stains, just coating all over and changing the hue slightly.

I am of that generation that spring cleaning meant taking the rugs out on the clothes line and beating the tar out of them, days! A ritual, and in some ways a celebration, to truly freshen up the space you not only occupied but where your family lives, where the term HOME actually applies!

I don't need an answer from you, but you certainly deserve one, as to whether or not you have ever done an emotional house cleaning. Let us be candid, frank and brutally honest in this moment, you have gone through some s**t in your life. It would be ludicrous and absolutely absurd to delude ourselves that remnants of those turds aren't laying around someplace within stinkin' up the space.

I quote often about the stinkin' thinking and this is where a large majority permeates from, unresolved, untreated emotional crap, seeping it way into unrelated thoughts and emotions.

It is what I have dedicated a good portion of my career in helping clients rid themselves from, their own emotional clutter.

Observe don't absorb is a tremendously valuable resource, one which I utilize to assist people who are sensitive to other's energies, or those who experience a hyper-vigilant visual recollection of past trauma. Perhaps it is also what brings such delight in people watching. For as long as I remember, my capacity of sitting in complete tranquility, with coffee, a bench and watching, observing 100's of people just be themselves, some hurried, some casual, determined and on a mission or ambling along taking in the day. Airports are still my favorite, as there are less people already plugged into the phone, coming out the arrival gates, the sincere delight, jubilation and non verbal communications of joy, does this people watcher a world of good! But enough about my strange quirks!

When self is too much in your head (what a silly notion) go ahead and practice this little excercise to diminish,if not eliminate the emotional attachment. Breathe in deeply and I do mean deep, deeply, close your eyelids and imagine sitting in a old time movie theater. Plush seats, in my head they are always red in colour, patterns and texture on the walls, and heavy, textiles hanging from the ceiling, framing the screen. Perhaps the smell of butter, from 1000's of buckets of popcorn, wafting through the air, hitting your nose. Find a seat that is perfect for you, the theater is exclusively yours and get comfortable. Now, picture yourself in the projection room, about to flick the switch, but before you do, look out that little windows and see you sitting down there, looking at the back of your head, waiting for the reels to start. Hit that switch, start the clip that was so instrumental in activating those negative or alarming emotions, and let yourself choose, are you going to be the person in the projection room watching the version of you sitting in the audience watching the projection or are you going to be the observing audience member, watching the lights dance on the big screen, enjoying the popcorn?

There is incredible benefit from being able to observe a situation, as too often we get that tunnel vision or find ourselves in a rut.

Enjoy

Treatment Tuesday.

I originally was attracted to this beautiful image, for it's coulourful hues, however the image has now ignited my muse ad well.
There is an ancient proverb, that says " You cannot fight smoke with a sword" with the original intention being a show of force is not always the go to solution, that patience, planning and understanding are equally important in your battles. Wise words for sure. Here is how I connected the two; you cannot fight the mists, the whisps and the ghosts of your past with force, with boxing them up, or with your attempts at drowning them. The unresolved memories, or trauma which we carry around in the back of our minds, are a warped rendition of what actually happened, and I'm not shooting to get all your feathers bunched up, but it is important to know that our recall and memory is always suspect. Firstly our experience is recorded through the senses already biased, what we think we observe, or how that situation made us feel, influenced by our internal processes as well. Then the experiences are stored in a bio chemical cocktail, and any recall is cause for the original ingredients of that cocktail to be modified. But I am ranting, so back on topic.

If you experience outbursts, anger and agitated emotional states, it could very well be the results from the frustration and futility, in battling the ghosts of the past, the demons, without definitive form. There is the natural tendency to want to confront and conquer, to vanquish from your internal kingdom, but when emotionally push comes to shove, there is nothing tangible to evict.

This for me is where the benefits of trance work become such a potent instrument, for a true , Vatican issued, exorcism of our past demons and ghosts. Having ability to meet and contend with the past on the same plain as they exist, allows our minds to better conceptualize alternative strategies which could include healing the wounded, negotiating the intentions, or a simple es**rt off your land fields.

So although I laud the warriors within, I must also respect that their application is not absolute and universal, there is value in arbitration.
Be well
