Feature Article
I had the most
incredible experience this last week. My partner and I broke
up last week and I was going through the typical feeling
sorry for myself and blaming him story, when I realized I
had to teach a “Relationship Forgiveness” class on Thursday
night. How was I going to pull that off and not spend the
entire night crying?
I sat down to prepare the class. Most of you know that the
“forgiveness” work I do is among some of my favorite
workshops, but I had the nudging feeling I was suppose to
create a new class. So I got the idea to do the class
through the use of archetypes. An archetype is a “type” of
person, such as a healer, teacher, warrior, etc. It invokes
a descriptive “image” of the type of person. For example, a
warrior is someone who stands strong, has great integrity,
has a sense of right/wrong, and is willing to go the
distance. While in state, being and feeling the part of the
archetype, questions are asked which elicit very deep
responses, responses that would never be extracted if one
stayed in his/her head.
I had each person chose an archetype from Carolyn Myss’s
archetype cards. There were some powerful ah ha’s in the
class, one woman who is as sweet as can be, had no idea why
she pulled the “bully” archetype, but when she did, she
realized she was working hard to control the relationship,
and that it was a pattern in her life where she ended up
turning potential princes into frogs! That was a great ah-ha
and certainly a changing point in her life!
For me, it was a great healing. I chose the archetypes of
“God”, “Shapeshifter” and “Trickster”. I learned that I was
in the relationship with my partner to heal my relationship
with my Dad, to transform my relationship with money, to
learn how to be more gentle and kind with myself, and to go
out more in nature, which will make me healthier and
stronger. I also learned that I needed to learn to accept
myself more and not judge others, especially my loved ones,
to step out and try new ways of being, to stand up for
myself more and stop trying to please others, and that I am
loved exactly the way I am. Honestly, there are 3 full pages
of learnings which were gained from working with these three
archetypes, and I can guarantee you, these definitely were
not the thoughts going on in my head at the time!
This process took me from being and feeling like a
victim/martyr to realizing what a gift the relationship and
the “break-up” were. I am no longer feeling sorry for
myself. I love this stuff!

Challenge
We’ve
all been talking about “The Secret”, the new DVD, CD, Book about
the Law of Attraction. If you have NOT seen it, go to www.thesecret.tv
and order it. The law of attraction basically states that like attracts
like, like thoughts, like energy. So, if you are in charge of what
you attract into your life, make it a GREAT attraction. Start a
list of what you WANT in your life, by writing out, “I’m so happy
and grateful not that….” You fill in as many blanks as you want.
Just view the universe as a gigantic shopping mall and fill up your
basket!
