The Pressure of Perfection

Written by Rebecca Wells in Ya-Yas in Bloom also wrote Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.  The character Vivi has just had a nasty confrontation with a nun at her son’s school.  “I am sick to death of crap being crammed down my throat.  The Mary they shove down my throat is impossibly good.  She is blue and pink gowns.  She is roses and crowns and stars all around her.  She is all sweetness and perfection.”

“I want to vomit up all this Catholic shit and choose my own thoughts!  Choose a Holy Mother who is strong, who thinks for herself and is brave as hell.  I want to blot out all those white-bearded tired ass old men and pray to a gorgeous woman who crushes snakes with her bare feet.  She’s the one who’ll set us free.  One of these days I’m just going to quit praying to God.  I’m going to pray only to a strong sassy Mary.”

“What do they want of me!!  I know I’m not the best mother, but I do the best I can.  Which of course is never enough.  Every day I wake up and pray, Mary, please ask God to make me a loving and patient and kind all day long.  Please help me keep my temper.  And then when I am not perfect, I feel like SHIT!”

:)   I love her passion and anger in this statement.  She is angry at being judged and condemned for being less than.  I guess I can relate.  Have you ever been condemned or judged when you were in your glory.  Have you ever upset someone, made them uncomfortable when you were flying high.  In their discomfort they put you down.  Their fear lashes out at you.  They wanted to impose their rules on you.

Did you listen?  Did you learn to embody the fear?  Did you learn to judge and condemn yourself?  Do you hold yourself back?

Now, can you give yourself permission to release yourself from your own prison.  It’s now you that condemns yourself.  It’s you that is judging yourself.  Recognize that fear and judgment.  Work through the quaking and shaking.  Allow yourself to feel it and move through it to freedom.  The only way through it, is to feel it.

In the story Vivi’s friend Caro tells her this, “What if God didn’t intend for everything everything to be perfect?  What if He knew it was going to be a holy mess, and he loved us anyway?  What if Adam and Eve weren’t sinning?  What if that prenatal original sin stain on our souls is not even there?”

Even when we think we are beyond those old teachings it’s amazing how they hide in our lives and pop out.  When do you feel guilty?  When do you feel like someone outside of you is condemning or judging you?

Stress

Many Facets of Relieving Stress

There are numerous ways to relieve stress. I believe in the cross training approach to stress relief. That entails addressing stress physically, mentally, emotionally and energeticly. If you don’t take a multi-dimentional approach there is a tendancy to work on eliminating stress one way while creating it another way. Here’s an example: I’ve had clients come for energy sessions, foot reflexology or take a yoga class then leave and light up a cigerette or go eat junk food.

I’ve done it myself. I remember leaving sessions and immediately craving sugar. Why? There is a part of ourselves that fears the expansion or good feelings. It’s foreign, little know territory. No different than someone experiencing domestic violence that has trouble leaving the abuser. Why? Ultimately you have to answer that question for yourself. My experience is it’s fear of the unknown. There are old belief systems that keep you locked in the familiar pattern. When you challenge them with something new and better your defense systems will rise up. This may sound silly, but you have to think of that aspect of yourself as being misinformed. The old self or ego as some may refer to it, is trying to keep you safe. We forget to live in the moment. We compare the new partners with old. Expecting to be treated the same because, well that’s the way it’s always been. When something new comes along we try our darnest to make it fit into the old pattern so we can prove our belief systems.

What does it take to change? Willingness to do something different. Willingness to ask yourself questions and be open to the answers. Take a different path. Expand your awareness. Fall down and pick yourself up. Let go of judgement. Laugh at yourself. Get support. Love yourself, no one can do it as well as you can. Breath and call yourself back to this moment now. Ask yourself, “What’s here now.”

I’m going to provide you with many tools to help you ease the stress in your life. Some will work for you better than others. The idea is to find the ones that work best for you. We’re all human and we have many similarities, but we’ve developed different coping skills and defense systems. For example some people eat when stressed while other people don’t eat. One person may over exert themselves while another person quits. Someone may react in anger, another in tears. You get the idea.

We have all had challenging experiences. We have all learned to survive as children in ways that aren’t serving us so well right now. Ultimately we all wanted to be loved and cared for. That meant different things to different people. It can feel so complicated. I think we have to remember not to compare ourselves.

It’s about learning how you need to be loved and nurtured. You have to start by loving and nurturing yourself. It’s not going to come from out there until you are willing to take care of yourself. You have to love yourself first. I know it’s not exactly what we like to hear. Really, we say to ourselves. I just want someone to do it for me. Beware, that type of love comes with a price tag. You may be willing to pay it. In the long run you will pay for it.

So what are we going to cover? Nutrition, because nourishment is a foundation. Can you really love yourself and abuse yourself by being malnourished. You may claim you are “treating” yourself to food that is sweet or that you find comforting, but abusers are good at sweet talking now aren’t they. They apologize and sweet talk you right back. Not so different here is it?

Exercise, again physical needs. Breathing, can’t live without it. There are wonderful ways to use the breath to expand conscious awareness. You can use the breath as a bridge to bring yourself into the moment. We’ll expand more on that later.

We all have energy patterns we use. The energy I’m referring to is your human energy field. These intale how we take in energy and how we defend energeticly. There are ways to shift those patterns.

We can also work on the quantum level. This is the fastest approach and most direct approach.

We have to remember though that life is a journey. As long as we are alive and having this experience of life we will be learning. It’s not a race. It’s all good. Learn to enjoy the journey right now. That’s ultimately what we are going to do together. Let’s learn to enjoy the journey together. In Love.

New Format

I am integrating my Matrix Energetics training into the healing sessions. Because this work speeds up the process I have changed the format of my sessions. I am now offering a more affordable 1/2 hour session for $45 and a one hour session for $85. I am expecting the longer sessions will be when you have the need to talk through issues and get more support.

I have also added a Paypal button for those that would like to pay for their session by credit card or through their Paypal account. I will ask that if you choose to use this payment method that you pay for your session prior to your appointment.

I am grateful to be of service.
Thank you,
Susan

Integration

Physically ended the Matrix Energetics workshop yesterday.  Integrating.  Still had a lot going on last night.  I was blessed with the opportunity to have Richard demo the Parallel Universe technique with me.  What fun.

I’m looking forward to integrating these tools into my life and work.

At the end of the workshop I felt well stretched and expanded.  Ready for a rest.  I met many wonderful people.  I’m looking forward to the next workshop and more play.

Feeling blessed for this journey and experience.

Matrix Energetics

I had a great first day of the Matrix Energetics workshop.  Technically it’s the first day, but everything started to roll prior.  As soon as I had my flight arranged there was a whoosh of uh-oh.  My issues are in my face, what did I just do and can I back out now?  I’m so glad I didn’t back out.  I’m glad I rode the wave of challenge to get here.

The workshop is great.  Richard Bartlett is a lot of fun.  After a morning of lectures and demos we broke out to practice on each other this afternoon.  The energy expanded quickly.  The feeling of expansion and the waves of energy are so much better than drugs or alcohol, LOL.  We practiced the basic two point technique, then time travel with the two point for releasing.  I needed a nap after that.  Than a good dinner.

I’m so glad I’m here.  It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a healing workshop.  I love the work.  I’m looking forward to so much more.  Stay tuned.

Witness

Sigh…Rough day today.  Happy to be at home, in my gardens, at my computer with the cat curled up on my lap as I type.  Any where but at the senior center today.  Such a heavy feeling today.  It was challenging to be there.  Had that feeling of wanting to run away.  There was anger around me, turmoil and frustration.

I took a few moments from time to time to acknowledge myself as a powerful creator, creating my experience.  I called my energy back, feeling the energy surge through me.  Centering myself in that power.  Allowing myself to feel my feelings.  It was difficult to observe without judgment today.  I didn’t want to be in this soup so to speak.

I had to ask myself what I could do to change this.  What change do I need to make?  What do I want?

Mercury Retrograde

I was just reminded that Mercury Retrograde starts tomorrow, Friday, August 20 and lasts for 3 weeks.  This is always a good time to take some extra time for yourself.  Take time to journal, self reflect, slow down a bit.  It’s not a time to rush forward into anything.  It is a time when issues and old patterns surface.  Take the time now to reflect on them.  Don’t push.

This is a wonderful time for healing work.  I have time available for new healing clients.

Surfing a Healing Wave

We get unexpected opportunities to heal old wounds and beliefs on a regular basis.  When emotions rise up and often we want to stuff them down or deny them because we on the path that believe in the law of attraction are afraid we are going to create some awful mess.  Let’s remember that our emotions also indicate a movement of energy.  Everything is energy, emotions are energy.  Nothing deadly or harmful.  The more we objectively observe and allow them versus defending against them or denying them the healthier we become.

Let’s say you bought something and it wasn’t exactly what you expected.  There was something that didn’t quite meet your expectation.  You feel a rise of anger and frustration.  You could:

1.  go back to the store and rip into the sales clerk and take out your frustration.

2.  acknowledge what it is you want.

What does this disappointment represent?  As you feel this wave of energy we call anger can you ask yourself what is underneath it.  What does this represent?  Do you feel cheated?  Are you feeling a sense of lack?  Is there a belief that you can’t really have what you desire?

Many times we can’t do this process at the peak of our emotions.  If we can stay with the feelings, that means staying connected to yourself and not projecting the energy at someone else or stuffing or shoving them away with food, drink or activity.  It may mean sitting or standing and being present and feeling.  You will feel the intensity.  The more you allow yourself to feel this the sooner the energy will shift.  I know sometimes it can feel like forever.

If you can allow the wave to take its course you will begin to shift the old pattern that no longer serves you.  You will have opportunities to revisit these issues and as you allow the wave of energy to move through you it becomes less of an issue till someday it’s barely a blip on your radar screen.

I am a graduate of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing.  I have openings for new clients at this time.

Happy surfing.
