Intro: The Miracle and Types of Letting Go

Pathway #2 – Discovering What Has Been Lost and Forgotten

mp3 Recording:

Homeplay:
Take some time to listen to the recordings and take some time to write about one of the experiences from your life in the form of a “story.” I use the word story because if you were sharing it to a group of people or your list or a client it would be in the form of a story and you would be sharing insights and possibly some humor. Right now the insights, the ahas and any humor are for you and your growth so that you can discover what you buried and release it and have access to your divine creativity. The writing is an essential piece of this process!! You will begin to see a theme emerge and this will give you additional insights and clear deeper pathways for your creativity (and joy!) to flow. And then it will be combined with the

Art Process:
Keep working on the previous homeplay (graphics above). I will share a new piece of the art project next week depending on how far along everyone is coming.

Guided Meditation:
I will be creating and emailing a recorded meditation and will post it on this page.

Keep writing your stories! It is so important. Take some time over the weekend … maybe one on Saturday and Sunday? When you give yourself some focused time to write it will come much easier. Just tap into some of the ideas we discussed on Wednesday and the memories that were coming up for you from the discussion. You can do this!! AND you will experience wonderful shifts and ahas that will make your art project even more fun and transformative. Keep up all the great work you have been doing!

Class 6 – 4.9.14
Support Session 3

The reason for writing the stories about the experiences in your life became much more clear today. I explained that I began a 30 day journey a few years ago to write 30 stories in 30 days. I had no expectation in mind and then surprisingly after completing the 5th story I saw a theme emerge and it shifted me instantaneously. I saw that I was “one empowered kid!” That was my exact expression when I realized it and how I explained it to a friend shortly afterwards. She said “Wendy, I have never seen you anything other than empowered!” That was such a turning point for me and it led me deeper into the process that further unblocked me and led me to owning the artist in me – AND healing me in a much deeper way too!

So that is the point of the stories … to find the common thread in how you showed up in the world. For me it was owning that I was empowered all through my childhood and once I saw that I was able to connect it to my adulthood…

Hopefully that inspires you to keep writing … hence the homeplay below 🙂

Releasing What Has Been Stuck

I’m so pleased to see how ya’ll are experiencing great shifts. Today I led ya’ll through a guided meditation to help move the energies ready to be released and then a clearing session which appeared to be very beneficial.

mp3 Recording

Homeplay
1) Make a list of your accomplishments – large and small. Start from as early in your childhood as you can remember. Write without thinking everything that comes to mind. Do not question it or judge it. Make the list as long as you want.

2) Take a look at the list and ask yourself “What is it that I am not owning? What am I now ready to own?”

We will talk more about this in Class 8 on 4.23.14

Owning Your Creative Gifts

Homeplay

Part 1
Browse your life beginning from early childhood, adolescent and into your teen years, college and beyond and write down each of the successes and accomplishments you can remember. Just let them call out to you. This will be a fun exercise and expect to feel some joy and the beginning of shifts. Spend maybe 20 – 30 minutes writing and then take a break and breath it all in. Then spend another 15 or 20 minutes to write more.

When you are complete take another break and take some deep breaths and allow the shifts already occurring to move through your body.

Part 2

Take a piece of paper as small as 8-1/2 x 11 and as large as a poster board and at the top write “My Successes.” Then begin to write out your successes from your list (the ones that call out to you the most or all of them!) and then give them their own space by drawing a circle, flower or something else around them. Then connect all of them with lines. Everything is connected!!

Notice what shifts you are feeling. There is a possibility that you may experience some resistance and if you do keep going. Let your inner child play. We are arriving to the fun part in this process!

Looking forward to the next class!
