Soul-Self & The Emotional Facets Of Your Personality

When we can see our inner parts, emotions, characteristics and how they are developed we can change the patterns in our life.
But most of us look at ourselves as a big messy ball of yarn.

This first week we will use meditation, journaling, and art (in the form of collage, drawing, painting, or word clusters- whichever you are most inspired by) to learn about the 9 Emotional Facets of Your Personality and how they were created.

You will learn how these different lenses impact your life’s perspective, emotions, thinking and behavior. Then we’ll activate your connection to your personal Soul-Self. That special, unique part of you that gives you strength and courage in relationships, parenting, work, creativity, and life purpose.

We’ll do a deep dive into what has worked for you, what has gotten in the way of your happiness and success, and what the themes are of your life view. You’ll learn how to connect these different parts of you in a way that allows your Soul-Self to give you a foundation of personal strength you can tap into for the rest of your life.

Does any part of that sound familiar? In the second week you are going to learn how the past pain and numbing interferes with your current relationships, career, and life. By understanding our past, we can start having more compassion for ourselves, our reactions to upsetting things calms down, and the healing begins, allowing you to start feeling more connected to others. During this week we’ll continue to build on working and strengthening connections to your Soul-Self through meditation, journaling and your choice of art exercises.

You’ll learn to start seeing your patterns of feelings, thoughts, memories and sensations of the past to see where you can change your thinking and/or your behavior in your current life. This week alone can be a complete game changer, especially if you are currently going through a life transition.

Does this ever happen to you? Most of us learn unhealthy habits to deal with fear and anger so we don’t have to feel things. Unfortunately that just buries the feelings deeper into our mind and body until they pop up when we least expect it.

The good news is that change is possible when you can start to see how your thoughts affect your thinking, feelings and behaviors. During week 3 you’ll learn how to tune into your Soul-Self with meditations to carry you through triggering situations and difficulties, feelings and memories so you can begin forming healthier habits that support your life, relationships, health, and goals.

Is there any part of you that says “Yes, but….”?

Doing the light and shadow work to change outdated thoughts, behaviors and automatic responses that we’ve outgrown in life sounds pretty straightforward, but it can get tricky with ups and downs making us feel like we are taking 2 steps forward, one step back, and sometimes 3 steps back, and one step forward. This is the stage where many people start to give up and slink backwards, reverting to old, automatic, unhelpful ways of thinking about themselves, their relationships, and their goals in life. It can be scary to change things that feel familiar, even if we know they are toxic for us. That’s why I’ve designed Week 4 to help you through the bumps! We’ll be doing some movement, meditation, art, and journaling practices with your Soul-Self that allow you to hold your composure- even when you are evoked by anger, shame, guilt, or fear. This is such a powerful week!

This is the week we bring it all together for deep integration, activation, and connection to your Wise-Self. You’ll learn a meditation for uniting all the facets of your personality with the power-house support of your Soul-Self and your Wise-Self in a way that is grounding, stable, and deepens your self-trust.

We’ll be doing some journaling, movement and art that weaves all the work we’ve done throughout the program into something you can access over and over in the future to help you know yourself more, learn what part of yourself is running the show in the moment, and give you access to healthier choices for the life you most want. Feeling the connection of your Soul-Self with your Wise-Self will make it easier to manage triggers, stay authentic, and stay on track for a life filled with happiness and success. Even if you slip you can walk through these steps and find your way back to accessing your Soul-Self and Wise-Self!
