From Funky to Sunny

Every few weeks I offer a drop-in Visual Coaching support group to assist with the shift our world is in. Here is the latest one, including summary notes, video, and visual map.

Summary:

We did our 10 minutes of meditation to set the field. Then checked to see what was present today. Three Self Inquiries emerged – Estelle, Terry, and Karen.

* Estelle was feelin’ funky. Her long-awaited retirement is around the corner however she is conflicted about it. Part of her is exhausted and just wants to rest. Another part knows she has a big part to play in the movement kicked off by her well-received TedTalk. Watch her keep meeting this polarity of parts until the sun comes out. From grey to light. Nice!

* Don’t think Terry’s conscious mind was following his Inquiry but his subconscious mind sure was. Watch as he unpacks the pain of physical isolation given most in his area of Western Canada are afraid to connect. How consciousness guides him from his Mind to his Heart, his love for his daughters, and his appreciation for his inner circle and the power of hugs … and a good scotch!

* Karen’s excited by the intuition in our gathering. I invite intuition to take up more space in her world. Which instantly evokes hesitation from an inner part. An Orphan Rescue emerges from when her parents divorced at the tender age of 4. Mom having no time for intuition and creativity and Dad seemingly taking them with him. She pulls her Orphan close and reeducates her. Reframing stuckness and worries about performance and perfection. Momentum for paper, color, and messing around is provoked!

The Journey Of Her Spiritual Self [Systemic Constellation]

Summary: 

We always start with 10 minutes of meditation – a treat to sit in stillness together. Then we see what arises and follow that.

This session we have two Self Inquiries from two American women, each meeting the pain and fear of not belonging as they transition to their next chapter.

A.L. is White from bible belt country.

C.F. is Black from the twin cities.

Both are Boomers navigating next steps while pushing the envelope of their environments, histories, and hurts.

Both being called to express their presence, passion, and spirituality in greater more direct ways – each in her own unique way.

Doodling and spirit dolls for A.L.

Cross-race processing and mentoring that transcends intentional divisions for C.F.

Thank you both for your transparency, vulnerability, and beauty. You deeply belong and are welcome here.

The Journey Of Her Spiritual Self [Systemic Constellation]

Summary: 

We start with 10 minutes of meditation and then reports about Inner Work and what is arising now.

Peggy raises her hand.  She’s been contemplating the various sides of herself lately – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

She’s aware of her Doer, her practical side. She’d like to get to know her spiritual side more.  Learn to live more from her heart.

I employ the Systemic Constellation modality to aid her quest.

Denise represents Peggy. Peggy represents the Doer.  I represent the Spiritual Self.

Watch as we meet the community of Peggy.  Learning universal lessons for all.  A human experience with the energetic journey.  It’s not the endpoint, it’s the journey!

Thank you Peggy – what a trip!

Artist Befriends Head, Heart & Gut

Every few weeks I offer a drop-in processing group to assist with these intense times. Here is the latest one, including summary notes, video, and visual map.

Summary:

We start with 10 minutes of meditation and then reports about Inner Work and what is arising now.

J.C. a Tech Analyst and Artist from Australia raises her hand. Through her, we embark on a journey of Self Inquiry through the terrain of hyper-awareness and anger. Into the realm of the three brains: head, heart, and gut. Forging an alliance of tools up and down the spine. Something every artist can benefit from …

Session Map, Click to Enlarge

Next comes anger. We greet both the ‘yes’ and the ‘no’ of anger.

The authentic yes of it doing its job of alerting when boundaries are being violated.

And the authentic no of ‘no good coming of it’ and ‘burns down’. No thank you. We don’t like that.

A scared Orphan emerges from the depths for rescuing. Come here, come here. You are safe.

Curiosity wants to make friends with Boundaries. Has wanted to for a long time. Yes, please.

MIND pops in with some discomfort and a judgment of ‘you are so weird’.

Hello Intellect, thank you for your love. Thank you for your service. Are you getting a bit tired holding everything up? Being a lone head on a stick?!

Heart arrives. Yes, please. “Let’s move away from connecting dots, shall we?’. A different language from the step-by-step or logical. Yes, the language that we paint from.

Gut chimes in with ‘I listen’ and ‘I hear’. ‘I’m tuned in’. I am nervous to lead but I can guide. But what if I fail?

But what if you fly says the Heart!

A spinal connection between all three emerges. Head, heart, and gut unified by the spine. All of their tools in the toolkit. Yes, please!

Voice. Expansion. Room. Spaciousness. Authentic. Equipped. Unity.

The nervous system’s feedback loop.

The mind recognizes that all three brains are included and welcomed in The SHIFT-IT maps.

Yes to maps. Yes to community.

Community inside and community outside.

All Her Mixed Relations

Every few weeks I offer a drop-in processing group to assist with these intense times. Here is the latest one, including summary notes, video, and visual map.

Summary:

As per our custom, we start with 10 minutes of meditation and then hear reports and areas of focus.

Laurie is a mother, healer, and legal student in British Columbia Canada who has just completed a challenging first year of law school.

Of indigenous heritage, she is angry at the western, colonial system of legal education and practice and with the challenges of being a mother of a son with shared custody.

Through Self Inquiry Laurie meets and welcomes her anger and her desire to push it all away.

And instead, she greets it, says hello, and ‘you are welcome here’. In doing so a shift of relief and calm eventually emerges.

Next is a layer of recognizing herself as an Empath with healing gifts and the need to create energetics boundaries with her 120 classmates… “I can be part of everything without feeling everything”.

We invite her boundaries to liberate which they do ‘to infinity’ … as her mission is BIG so her perspective needs to be big too.

Next comes concern about having to return to in-person attendance and the childcare logistics of her son, particularly the necessity of communicating with his father, which can be hard.

A headache comes from holding ‘loads and loads’ of information.

We invite her Mind to rest, release and liberate from the cramped confines of her cranium.

She literally ‘frees her mind’ to the accompaniment of a music lyric … “free your mind and the rest will follow”.

Next up are her shoulders and hip. Both seeking liberation too … rest, rest. Ease. Grace. Softness. Yes, please.

Out of a block in the hip comes fear connected to her 8-year-old Inner Child … it’s not safe. An Orphan Rescue, hush hush, come here, it’s safe.

And the Mind recognizes the number 8 — an overlay with her son’s current age. He too has to deal with divorced parents just like she did back in the day.

The Mind also connects 15 and 40. The age of her mother versus herself regarding motherhood. Compassion and love sent to her 15-year-old mother.

Compassion extends to not only her mother but to her mother’s 4 sisters too. Who all became mothers at young ages … a pattern.

5 Grannies and a Great Grandmother appear to send their love and support. She’s a Haida Princess whose name means “voice that is heard”. And kisses on a soft cheek. Yes!

CONNECTION TO MY CULTURE is what arises next.

Two grandfathers appear. White grandfathers.

“I am of mixed heritage even though I usually only focus on the indigenous ones”.

Scotland and New Zealand. A Great Aunt. Spiral. RNA. DNA. Cellular level. Yes, please.

Another great grandmother wants to make herself known. French. Haisla.

All of her mixed relations see and support Laurie’s Mission of going to western colonial law school in order to balance it with indigenous, holistic law and with her healing gifts.

Hands on her back. We have your back.

Eyes and hearts aware of and approving of her modern path. You are not alone. We are with you. Ask for our help. We are here to help.

Matriarchal lines. Patriarchal lines. Many geographies and races.

You are not alone. We are with you. We approve. We help. We love. Together through and in you. Yes, please!

Thank you Laurie for your beautiful Inquiry … an honour to map your inner wisdom out. All my mixed relations …

We Sit With Crazy

Process Popups to assist with these activating times.

Here are the latest video and visual maps.

Summary:

Sometimes the smaller the Process Popup the deeper the depths.  Also, fascinating synchronicities and piggybacking can occur … which was the case here.

Theme is ‘CRAZY’ descendants of wounded women and the RISE TO A BIGGER HEARTED SELF.

Both women shifted, each in her own unique ways.

Inquiry 29A: Ancestral Healing with Orphan Rescue

Click Image to Enlarge

Anne began by saying hello to PRESSURE. Then RESISTANCE and FEAR. Then fear of THOUGHTS IN THE HEAD. Then fear of CRAZY.

YOU BELONG was said to crazy ancestors across the mists of time. The empathic ones often have this gift.  Not crazy … subtle energy sensitive. Then work on the feeling place of HEALTHY SEPARATION and BOUNDARIES. Yes, please!

Memories from the age of 10-14. Mother’s questions and father’s affairs. Orphan Rescue. HUSH HUSH. IT WASN’T YOUR FAULT. I’M HERE.

Energy rises to the HEART. OPEN. BREATHE. Yes, please! Intellect wary of father’s open-heart surgery. IT’S OK, IT’S OK. AN OPEN HEART IS SAFE.

Intellect worries the Orphan will rise again. APPLY INNER GRANDMOTHER. SHE KNOWS WHAT TO DO AND BE.

Big bow to consciousness through the form of Anne – Namaste!

Inquiry 29B: Monster Mom, Mandalorian Warrior, and Baby Yoda

With Anne complete I check in with the other two. How are you? How did that land? Parallel processing?

Denise got lots from Anne’s inner work until she didn’t. All good until the softening and tears. Her WARRIOR ARMOR rose instead. HARD PROTECTION. So that became our entry portal …

Click Image to Enlarge

Hello MONSTER MOTHER.  SHAME. STIGMA. WHAT WILL PEOPLE SAY. You must be the crazy one, not me.  DUTIFUL DAUGHTER.  Easier that way, until it wasn’t.

FRUSTRATION. ANGER. AUTHENTIC NO. EXPANSION.  BEING ME.  Yes please!  MANDALORIAN WARRIOR’s armor is heavy.  PUT IT DOWN. REST. REST. Yes, please!

BABY YODA is so cute!  The DIVINE. LIGHT. SPARKLY. COLORFUL.  CONNECTION.  Yes, please!

This is ODD. BEING is unfamiliar territory. My work is to BE.  BECOME more acquainted with BEING rather than DOING. I AM. Rather than I KNOW.

Big bow to consciousness through the form of Denise.  I look forward to future reports!

This was a sweet Satsang.

We started with 10 minutes of Meditation together from our global perches.

Then we met what wanted to arise.

First a Self Inquiry with Lola.

Anxiety about family dynamics and Inner Warriors protecting Innocence. Eventually settling into ‘The Acceptance of Acceptance’.

Then an Inquiry with LB about her decision to vaccinate given her elderly client.

Meeting the polarities of trust and distrust and healthy and unhealthy conversations.

Soothing a long ago Orphan related to a needy Dad and embodying the Conscious Adult – yes, please!

Thanks Lola and LB for your beautiful Inner Work. Namaste.

#27 HER BELLY SAYS SHUT UP AND ROLL

LB continues to process the effects of being harshly carjacked. She’s understandably frustrated by the toll the ordeal has taken on her body, emotions, and life. In this Self Inquiry, she meets her body aches and turtle shell of protective coating. Behind them is an intense longing for sweetness, dolce, and softness. Watch her bravely sit with her sharp intellect to eventually find the deep wisdom of her Belly. It wisely beckons for her to ‘shut up and roll’. To adopt the Rolly Polly goofy wisdom of her new puppy. And the curiosity of her heart. Wishing you all the best with this shift LB!

#26 Visual Coaching: Video and Maps from Process PopUp

A: SELF INQUIRY: PEGGY MEETS TIRED

Peggy is tired (something many can relate to). The duality of ‘do’ and ‘rest’ lives in her shoulders. An opening occurs and sleep beckons however an Orphan pops up. An inner child who equates sleep with sickness – no thank you. Sleep can in fact keep you/us from sick. Body hurts emerge with their natural anecdotes of expansion and movement with the request for more meditation – yes, please.  A snake ends with ‘life is about learning’. How wise!

B: LOUISA’S SELF INQUIRY: WHALE CHANGES EVERYTHING

Watch Louisa come for round two, where a recent private session left off. She’s right on the crux of a surfacing. An ancient whale from her/our unconscious depths.  She longs to stay with the energy of a new operating point with life moving forward. Where she knows what she’s doing and thrives. No to her/our old warrior ways. Yes to softer strength, clarity, and gentleness. It’s new and unfamiliar however she wants it. It’s going to be OK.  Up and out – yes, please!

C: DAN: SELF INQUIRY: WHERE OH WHERE ARE MY MARKERS?!

Dan’s markers have gathered dust. He misses the internal group within government who works visually – the flip-charts, markers, and chalk. The faces! He craves being together and doing what he loves. His father Hugh died at 94 alone in his care home – respectful bow.  The Last Square Rigger book from his papers – visually attractive, yes! Thanks for the reflection back. Visuals are so good for that. Will hang this up. Map to a rich 2021.

D: EVERYONE: 2021: WOULDN’T BE BE NICE IF

Kristin did this process a few PopUps ago and reports it worked!  Her employer paid for a digital drawing tablet and approved her for Visual Coach Certification! So as a closing move, we all played this fun visioning game from Abraham-Hicks. Listen in as we find the feeling place of Art grants. Planet and people first. Travel to Australia. Continuation of innovation and creativity. Roofs over all heads. Being paid to be part of the solution. Embrace of the visual dimension. Dancing together. Love flow. Empowerment to act. The removal of obstacles and roadblocks. The beginning of something wonderful. YES PLEASE!!!

25A: MY SERVICE WORK DOESN’T PAY ENOUGH
Process PopUp #25A: The free Process PopUps seem to be morphing into a Satsang structure, at least this one did. We began with 10 minutes of Meditation to connect with stillness for our nervous systems. Then 3 rounds of Self Inquiries. Here’s Laurie as she sits with her conflicted emotions about work. Meaningful yet not well-paid service work vs well-paid government work that’s not meaningful. See how consciousness reassures her that ‘we’ll do it together’. Yes!

As North America ventures out from lock-down, the theme of this week was ‘vulnerability’ in its many guises. From a retired social worker grappling with being labeled elderly.

Future Selves Speak on Corona
Online Process Group #3 on March 26, 2020 (Visual Coaching).

Overview of Emotional Scale and Bill Bridge’s Transition Model – which helps us understand the ‘neutral zone’ when an old reality ends before a new one begins … and how challenging it is to be suspended in mid-air. Christina guided us through another one of her process tools, called The Future Self Vision.  Guiding us to connect with a powerful inner ally – our self who lives in a positive future out beyond the current troubles.  We each connected to our Future Selves and relayed their wisdom, perspective, and gifts.  Comforting and uplifting!

Inner Angels Vs Inner Devils
Online Process Group #2 – COVID (March 19, 2020 – Visual Coaching)

Begins with the info shared from a colleague in Italy and a colleague who works with infectious disease in Canada. Christina shared The Emotional Scale to give us a shared language to identify and articulate our feelings (who are we today?). With world events rapidly changing in the week since our last gathering, we again did a Flip It, Flip It Good map — hearing from both the Devils and the Angels that sit on our shoulders (or live elsewhere in our somatic). A powerful evening of global connection. We may be physically isolated but we aren’t socially!

Corona Hits Graphic Facilitation Field
Online Process Group #1: March 12, 2020:

This Pop-Up was specifically for Visual Skills students and colleagues. We shared fast-moving developments from Europe and North America as meetings (our livelihood) are being canceled everywhere.  Christina facilitated a group ‘Flip It: Flip It Good’ exercise – drawing out collective fears (devils) and finding authentic counters (angels).  As well as a ‘Planetary Magnetism Map’ to help use the contrast of the present situation to launch ‘rockets of desire’ for Earth’s future.
