It’s been a busy time. Anneke Lucas and I, with an amazing international cohort, just wrapped a 10-Week Processing Group.
We worked right through the holidays, even on Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Offering community to Survivors through a period of time that is traditionally difficult.
Tomorrow, we move into our Level 2 of Shifting the Power. Helping folks even more deeply understand and integrate Anneke’s Unconditional Model (a deep blend of power dynamics and parts work).
Over these last few years, we’ve step-by-step built a trio of courses, plus one Home Study Kit (with another one in the works). It’s been a lot of work, yet also a labour of love too.
Already a seasoned process lead (I’ve been facilitating and coaching for over 25 years), I have learned so very much through these programs, and it’s been a rapid integration.
I have learned about all levels of neglect and abuse. This has admittedly not been easy.
I’ve also learned so much about the survival instinct, the tenacity of the human spirit, and also about the remarkable creativity of the human brain, and what a miracle dissociation is (in its varied forms).
Also, my knowledge about our multi-dimensional natures has been greatly enhanced, from the shamanic and spiritual base I already possessed. We truly are remarkable beings of light, and our bigger picture is much more amazing than most people realize.
I’ve also learned, because it’s taken my left brain a while to see how it all fits together, that this incredible work with Anneke, of course fits into my deep affinity for non-duality (oneness). Related to the long kundalini unfoldment I’ve been in since 2009, that’s meandered me into my Satsangs.
I have needed to visit the biggest polarities in order to more deeply understand and appreciate the yin and yang of it all.
And also, to play my bit part in helping wake up Consciousness. It’s time for the great awakening – and we seem to be in it as rocky as it is!
I have learned once again that working visually is very practical, and can even make some of the most intense stuff on our planet, just a little easier to approach.
With all this new terrain, many of my historical training programs have been put on at least a temporary hiatus. As I figure out what I still can and want to fit in, and what I can’t or don’t.
Continuing is my private practice and my Satsangs (although I’m not doing a very good job of getting the word out about the local ones here in Victoria, Canada).
Graphic Facilitation is limited now to gigs that do not require extensive travel.
Visual skills trainings are on hold, although I’ve packaged all of my instruction into a robust e-learning package that is available instantly.
On a final note, many thanks to Dolly for this issue’s Sit with Christina. A deeply honest inquiry with great range. It was lovely to see you again Dolly. I’m wishing you all the best with your Mind-Heart-Belly alignment, and hope the Sit was of service.
Yours in SHIFTing it,
Christina Merkley
