I had the most wonderful subpersonality emerge for me -

Returning home, I knew I had several messes/challenges for me that felt heavy.

The subpersonality that emerged is Clarity
With her pointed in the right direction, the heaviness lifted
Clarity and focus appeared and my messes/challenges are now easily doable.

I met her with such GRATITUDE - because I've dwelt in heaviness for some time and the heavy molasses I've been wading through has disappeared!
Yeah!

Hello Sylvia,

Thank you for sharing your posts, it is good to know there is a space on-line to continue reflecting upon our journeys of learning.

YES, the Subpersonalities have a lot to teach us---it's exciting to get to know them and I'm finding very easy to communicate with them with just a bit of time and effort (now if I could only stop procrastinating as a form of self-sabotage!)

Even not working I am finding it challenging to make time in my life to continue on with the processes, so I signed up for the free Shadow Integration offering that starts on Wednesday and hope to sign up for Best Year of Your Life program (I  just found out the informational call is coming up this Thursday evening).

Wishing you well through your processes,
So grateful to everyone for sharing such a wonderful and challenging weekend together!
Mona

Hi Mona~
It seems everyone is shy to post -?-
I have put alot of energy into being 'invisible' but I am trying to be more visible these days
I was thinking about your procrastination - I wonder if it would help to talk to it?   I think we can talk to the aspects of ourselves just as we can the wise woman, etc.
I can't imagine what it would say!
Have you signed up for the new class in January - Best Yr of Your Life?
It seems affordable and a way for me to keep it up.
Hope you are doing well,
Sylvia

Hi Sylvia!

I was happy to see your post.  I too have put a lot of energy into being invisible, so your comment hit home for me.  In fact, this is a first for me...I've never posted on a message board before.  The subpersonality that showed up for me was Pride.  She's anxious to be shown off, which I think goes right along with being more visible.  Thanks for the nudge I needed to get going.  Maybe next time I go to a Shadow Process workshop I'll actually stand up and share!

One other thing, I registered for the Shadow Integration follow up calls and haven't heard back.  Do you know how to join in?  I just signed up yesterday, so maybe I was too late. 

Warmly,
Julie

Thank you Sylvia,

Why didn't I consider that myself? I will definitely chat with my Procrastination Subpersonality because that really seems to be holding me back...

And Julie:

The Shadow Integration Workshop started tonight/Wed. evening---Julie here at Debbie Ford sent us an email with instructions on how to call in for the teleconference and it was really, really good (especially since I procrastinate and find myself procrastinating and not doing all that I need to be doing to keep moving toward the reality of wholeness)

Perhaps if you contact Julie she can let you know how to hear the session past and get you the schedule for the future workshops.

Thank you both for being here to chat with along the process,
Mona

Thanks Mona.  Believe it or not I received the e-mail as I was posting my request for info.  I'm glad to hear that it was good (not that I expected anything less!).  Having these teleconferences is wonderful for keeping me on track with this work.

Have a great day,
Julie

I REALLY enjoyed the first call! 
I loved it when Debbie said, "Are you gonna let me boss you around?"
I played the call again when I was cleaning some of my clutter
and Debbie as "unsatisfied bossy mother" really helped motivate me.

Now, that is a subpersonality I need to incorporate soon - to tackle more messes.

Anyone signed up for class in January - Radical Reinvention?  Or Breakthrough?

Sylvie

Hi ladies,

Sylvia, I forgot to tell you that yes, I do plan to sign up for Best Year of Your Life program, because it is so thankfully affordable and I want this new year to be full of new possibilities and change for me. I don't mean to sound like a commercial, I really mean it! I can't go on in the same pattern without chipping away at my soul.

Also, I totally relate to the need to clutter clear and tackle more messes---I actually have had the recent awareness that my messiness is seriously holding me back & creating a roadblock to discovering & living out my goals & dreams.

Also it's inherited from a messy family, but I'm not placing blame anymore, I'm ready to take responsibility and have just cleared out an extra room (formerly known as the junk room and now renamed my Spirit room).

You know there is a Best Year of Your Life call this upcoming Thursday at 5pm...to share more info on the program itself I believe.

The Shadow Integration Process calls are really important to me as I find myself drifting away from the beauty of what we've learned and discovered---
You are right, it's so exciting to hear Debbie's voice and yes, I like how she practices tough love with us to make us fired up for the changes and growth.

I'm still feeling really challenged (and this must be related to my messiness) in figuring out how to stay disciplined and focused and making time to focus on "me" with all the distractions of my present-day reality. For instance, today it's the end of the day/night time actually, and I still have not made time to meditate and do my subpersonality.

That reminds me, I have to go do a Subpersonality on my Messiness NOW before I get distracted again!

Discipline is my new mantra!!!

Wishing you clarity and focus,
Mona

Mona~
I Loved that - about transforming your room into a Spirit room!  Just keeping that in mind seems like it would make the change easier and a positive vision to energize you.

I think I'll borrow your vision - I'm going to try that with actually my whole home - a spirit filled home.  Wouldn't that be great! Having a "vision" of spirit or the one of "Debbie bossing us around" I think is important and really energizing.

And, you don't sound like a commercial - I'm right there with you and getting the feeling more and more that it's imperative we change.  In fact, in one of the meditations in the retreat was of my sacred self telling me she'd been waiting for me (for a long while)

On the call when it was asked if we could commit to just the next 35 days - that sounds do-able and then of course it will hopefully become a habit.
I think the morning is best before we or I get scattered among the 100 things we have to do - at the very least a centering exercise while we are showering. But, I d on't think 10 minutes is too much to ask when I can waste plenty of time doing other junk things that carry me away from the process.

Also, with the discipline thing - a huge one.  For me too!  Writing down goals has always worked for me- I tend to be very scattered and that for me is important.  Gives me more time to relax later and not have things hanging over my head.

Making connections with others has been a wonderful unexpected bonus - I now have my Irish friends Siobhan, Emer and Patrick that I was fortunate to stay with during the SP and my buddy from Reinvent your Life lives in Australia.
You and my now visible buddy Julie.

Julie - you're my new VISIBLE friend - speak to me.

Smiles and Warmth,
Sylvia

Hi again Sylvia,

It really feels like an act of self-love to make sacred space---and I'm having more and more awarenesses on how impossible it is for me to love others when I am hating on myself!

So making that extra room have a purpose is something I need to acknowledge myself for---thanks to your recognition I was able to see what a big deal this is!
For some reason difficult for me to acknowledge myself without external validation (my shadow people pleaser talking?)

Tomorrow morning I'm going to spend my centered time...otherwise another day came and gone and I couldn't make time for myself between the house, husband, other distractions! Also, going to keep my goals clear as I can.

Wish me luck this week,
Mona

Hello Friends,

I haven't checked in for awhile.  You know, busy with the holidays...as I believe was mentioned as a popular excuse on last week's call!  Will either of you be calling in tonight?  I will probably listen tomorrow when it's more peaceful at my house.  I love having the calls to listen to.  They really help bring me back to myself and the work I did at the Shadow Process weekend.  It's so easy to let that to slip away.

I won't be doing The Best Year program as I'm working with a coach, and it's along the same lines.  The coaching really does help me hold myself accountable...you know, stay disciplined.

I had to laugh when I read that both of you struggle with your messy selves.  I do the same.  I'm trying to make friends with mine but she still succeeds in driving me crazy! 

Mona, I too love the idea of a Spirit room.  Something wonderful to focus on.

My worst issue is a giant backlog of papers that needs to be filed and dealt with. It seems to grow while I'm not looking.  I'm being very disciplined (notice I'm not "trying" to be disciplined :) and working on it 3 days every week.  I focus on the energy and lightness I feel when I get even a little bit more organized.  I've met my Efficient Edna!  She's quite the task master, and begging for recognition.

I have a question.  Do you ever feel a little lonely in this work?  I know that this is the right path for me and I am absolutely committed to it.  What I've noticed though is that I spend a lot of time on it and put a lot of my energy into it, and no one I know outside the people at the Shadow Process weekend has any clue what it's about.  I've tried explaining it to a couple of people but as Debbie mentioned that weekend it's usually a fruitless endeavor.  Frustrating even.  Just wondering.

Warmly,
Julie

Hey Julie~
Yes, as a matter of fact I have been lonely

I, too have tried to engage different people I know but they are in a different space than I am/we are right now

I have made a commitment to myself to go to Unity more often- where there are like minded people so I can try and connect to others

My job helping hurricane folks has ended so I have alot of time  on my hands and at times it does seem very lonely - but, I kind of like that because I have been in a place where I haven't needed anyone for a long time - it puts me in the spot of having to stretch myself - to reach out to others - which is why I've been posting here - as I said earlier , I am a pro at being invisible -but I am wanting to change that and shine a bit -

you can email me through the site if you want

I know if you go to the places you really love - that will attract others to you -
like a museum or political meeting - where ever - maybe a Meetup site -

On one of the calls it was said that as we transform ourselves others will notice and wonder about what the heck is going on.  That can start a conversation with others -

I emailed alot of my friends about the new class Best Year but haven't heard from any of them yet.  I don't think we need to drown others in it either or they might want to 'deprogram' us - ha - that's all we need - turn us back into nice robots that are asleep at the wheel and don't cast shadows!

Staying Visible,
Sylvie

p.s. I usually listen to the calls when they are posted - due to my phone plan - but I would like to plan on being there xmas eve morning

Hi there Visible Ladies:o)

I'm still not sure what you guys mean by being invisible---maybe you can share with me?

Okay, so I had composed the most beautiful, inspiring email message and then POOF! It got lost in cyberspace.

Must have been meant to be, as much of it was projection, chock full of advice I need to be giving and taking myself!

Here's a thought: Maybe we feel the loneliness in order to stop looking outside ourselves for the love, validation, support we desire to take the next steps in our process. So perhaps it would be helpful if we take the loneliness as an opportunity to check in within ourselves (for that divine connection we truly desire).

Either way, don't be too lonely because we are all here dialoguing (thank you both for all you have shared).

P.S. My spirit room is a chaotic mess, but I have promised myself to clean it and clear it and fill it with beautiful items to lift my spirit by the New Year so I am holding myself accountable with you guys to make sure it happens!

P.S.S. Julie I'm so glad you have a coach and your Efficient Edna to help you in your process

P.S.S.S. Sylvie, I also mentioned B.YOYL program to friends and no one "bit" and that's okay---lately I've been feeling really unattached to outcomes (meaning not having as many expectations of others).

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

You're right on target, Mona~

I have had a tough time making connections this fall - since my Hurricane job ended.

But, it has been the most transformative time of my life because I keep bumping up against myself and a desire to change things.

As I go on job interviews, I am able to stand in my power and not look for ways of becoming  part of their "machine".

How is the Spirit Room coming?

Hi there,

It happened AGAIN! I composed a message.........then, it disappeared!

I guess I might not be logging in properly.So here's the edited version of my long email:

The Spirit room---still blocked with stuff, which I'm feeling is a physical manifestation of the internal, subconscious blocks within that must be cleared.

What do you mean you've had a tough time making connections? Do you mean with other people?

I agree, who wants to be part of a machine? I guess it pays the bills, but there is a high price on the soul. Of course this comes from someone who is currently not working and is scared to begin her search because she knows she is going to create major change wherever she goes.

Be well,
Mona

Hi Mona,

What will it take for you to clear the clutter from your Spirit Room?

Would you like us to support you in that, check in with you to see how you're doing?
