Wholehearted Loving - Georgianna Lee

03/06/2022

It's been awhile since I shared a blog post...check out this piece where I give you a behind-the-scenes peek of bedtime at our house and the huge life lesson I learned from my 11-year old during a weeknight tuck-in...and what it has to do with the Five Love Languages.

Before I fill you in on what I learned one night while tucking my 11-year old son to bed, I want to talk to you about the Five Love Languages (Dr. Gary Chapman wrote the book, available at your fave bookstore).

Women’s Group has a special place in my heart. Being a part of a women's group was the one thing that completely changed my life, my relationship with myself and my relationship with women (and that includes my MOTHER!).

It’s the place where I learned to take up space, speak my truth, receive from women (instead of always being the giver), remember my worth and to see my beauty reflected in other women. It was also the place where I was deeply inspired to connect to the parts I saw in other women that I had buried and made wrong in myself (and there were many!)

It was the place where I learned to reclaim myself, revive my passion and feel connected in life, love and relationships.

If this sounds like something you’re needing or wanting in your life, if you’re feeling excited or a little apprehensive (yet deep down you know self-acceptance and connection is what you’re longing for), we’d love to have you join us.

After many repeated requests, we’re finally opening up online groups so that those of you who don’t live in Vancouver have a chance to experience the wonder of Women’s Group.

Registration is open now for a June start. Details at taoofself.com/women or in my bio.

- With love, Georgianna 💛

Shame. Hiding. Playing small. Needing to be perfect. Performance over process. Afraid of my anger. Catering to everyone's needs. Loving towards others, yet so hard on myself.

That's the prison I locked myself up in for decades. Thinking that if only I showed the world what I thought it needed me to be - I would find love, connection, acceptance, belonging, happiness and success. And it nearly broke me.

It was learning to lovingly see, embrace and accept all my many parts (and what they were all trying to do to protect me) that I finally felt safe enough to let myself and the world see the real me. From there, so much opened up for me. But most importantly, I felt a peace and strength and an excitement for life that I had never experienced before. I learned to love me, every part. And that for me, was priceless.

To be trusted by to share his teachings with the world is an absolute honour. To teach and facilitate with my dear friend .of.self and support people in giving themselves permission to be fully human lights me up with so much joy.

If you're ready to let go of some old patterns and create some new more loving, spacious and empowering ways of being, we're ready to support you.

There's only a few spots left and we'd love to see you. Details are in my previous post.

With love,
Georgianna

Conscious Relationship Training is a 10 week, in-depth experiential shadow work training on the principles of conscious relationship. This is psycho-spiritual work with an emphasis on understanding the causes of relationship dysfunction.

*

Experiential shadow work supports us through confrontation, toward healthy relationship with aspects of ourselves we've suppressed (consciously) and repressed (unconsciously).

Willingness to try new ways of thinking and being is required to make good use of this work. Reportedly, those who are open and willing in the trainings -- willing to try on new ideas, to challenge their beliefs, to expose and own relational discomfort in real time -- get tremendous value in terms of:

• personal discovery & acceptance
• understanding & taking responsibility for relationship dynamics & personal patterns
• challenging a naturally limited worldview
• practice relating & being seen
• practical tools to self-remember & self-regulate in real time.

Unlike traditional therapy, CRT brings together body, mind & ego to explore your embodied beliefs and triggers in the context of group co-ed encounters. This is a course of self-discovery, -acceptance and -expression that unfolds into real life in an immediate and practical way, largely thanks to the group's commitment to shadow ownership and personal empowerment.

*

Developed by transpersonal therapist Phil T. Mistlberger (), CRT runs four times a year. The current round will be held in person, led by Stephanie Hunter (.of.self )and family counsellor Georgianna Lee (me!!). The fee for Level 1 is $800.

Ten Wednesday evenings Feb 2 to Apr 6, from 7 - 9:45pm in -- please note that vax passes are required by the facility and capacity is limited. We have a few spots left. DM or comment for details or to register.

Find the places that allow you to connect to the grief of lost dreams, the joy of what’s here and the hope of what’s possible.

It took me many years to learn this lesson. And my heart is more expansive now, knowing it.

Compassion for others is important. So is compassion for ourselves.

Spending hours, months or years trying to undercover why someone treated you a certain way only leaves you feeling more depleted. The reality is that you may never know why - and they might not either.

What IS worth your time and energy is remembering how worthy and deserving you are.

With love,
Georgianna

This conversation with my dear friend of is one that touches my heart deeply. I needed loving presence as a little girl. And my parents needed support and encouragement when they were trying to do their best.


I needed compassion for myself as a mother struggling with two young children. And my boys needed warm presence and acceptance from me.


I’ve learned that everyday I practice offering myself more compassion, my boys have a mother who’s better able to extend more compassion to them.


Compassion goes a long way. Especially in parenting our children and re-parenting ourselves.



In a world that pushes us to be better, stronger and more resilient we’ve forgotten the importance of offering ourselves and our children warm presence, kindness and acceptance.


You can push yourself to your limits, but the crash inevitably comes. This crash is a reminder for you to come back to a place of compassion for yourself. When you offer compassion to yourself, you can extend true compassion to the ones you love.
 
It’s from this softer place that you (and your children) can truly heal, grow and thrive.


I hope you enjoy this conversation and remind yourself that you, your inner child and your children all deserve deep love and acceptance.

We all needed to hear these four sentences as children. Many of us didn’t hear them, yet we can learn to offer them to ourselves now.

We can learn to offer them to our children now, so this next generation knows that it’s ok to be human. And that they’re loved just as they are.

These words have the power to create true connection. Connection we all long for. Practice using them. The people in your life will thank you.

With love,
Georgianna

Life has thrown me a lot of challenges. Through it all, it's been my self-compassion practice that's helped me hold my fear, pain and confusion with gentleness. It's allowed me to tap into the courage I needed to create the life I'm so proud of.

I wrote this blog post as a love note to myself and to all of you to remind you of the power of being kind to yourself. I hope you enjoy it.

My clients have been asking me to record and share the practices that I guide them through in our sessions. So, I finally did it!

These simple practices help you connect more deeply with yourself and help you regulate your nervous system.

I had so much for creating these for you. Enjoy!
