The next step for my personal leadership is taking the EBI Life Coaching Course. I know this will support me in creating a foundation for the work I am putting forward involving nature to support inner growth and transformation. I know, when one choses to take an active role in their life and consciously collaborates or changes from a “victim” mentality (changes from “why is this happening “to me”) to taking responsibility in their life and begins to change the response to “this is happening for me) begin to change the paradigm of their life.

My next step is to create workshops that are natured based to support people in changing the paradigm of the life. First I must change my own paradigm and be open to allowing the workshops and offering to evolve and with in congruence with the vision, my path, and those actively stepping into their path.

It’s time for me to “root” in ideas and concepts and allow them to grow and let go of what I think it should look like.

Jacklyn,
I am excited for you and your transition in life. Taking the steps to living your passion and transition from IT world to the Life Coaching. I found in my own experiencing realizing I want to live a that is purposeful. I work in law enforcement and also have a bodywork/healing practice. Was excited to take the tools I learned through my inner transformation is transferable to my current career, well all aspects of my life. While I did live my position within the department and made a lateral move, because I know longer resonated with my former position, I was able to support my well being, and take the new version of myself, and incorporate it with my current position within the department as a Community Service Office.

As you have transitioned, have you found that your experience in the wold of IT along with your inner awakening has your perspective with IT changed? How would you like to see the perception and/or experience of IT change?

Session 5 Discussion Questions:

Discussion Question: Today, what do you know about your Vision? How do you know this, and what is calling you forward?

Today, what I know about my vision is that I want to create a space and opportunity to support others growth, and transformation by connecting to themselves and experience showing themselves compassion. I know my vision has been waiting for me to take action and start creating. Letting go of the “stuff” I have been allowing to get in the way of my own success.

I know this because, when I sit in silence and listen to my heart, it’s the same feeling and response every time. Lead with compassion, truth, love and integrity; create the space for those to be vulnerable. What calls me forward is every time, I want to give up on assisting others and simply do what is easy, like go to work and collect a paycheck to pay the bills, (which I am thankful for everyday), it does not light up my soul. When I merely think about being in nature, and inviting others to come with me, I light up inside. When I feel myself grow and observe others in their growth (even when it’s challenging) I light up.

The past few months I have not been in a state of joy. This is when I know, I must return to selfcare and re-connect to nature, fill myself. I know I have been in a state of stagnation for too long, and it’s time to put ideas into action and begin the next step of manifestation of the bodywork and workshops I enjoy offering to others. Being in service of others ignites the fire within.

Spirit of joy and change; the desire to be part of brining peace and compassion to the world is what calls me forward. When I become more at peace, and expand my compassion, it ripples out in the world around me, and to those I assist on a daily basis. It brings peace to simply be in a state of joy and appreciation with all things in my life.

When I stray from my path, I am quickly remind, whether it be from a movie, or witness others around me, to return to a certain direction and to keep moving along the path of healing, and transformation. When I see the path, I see myself with frame drum, with it’s steady rhythm, and others join because their hearts feel the calling toward something eternal, and it does not need a name. It’s simply an experiencing an inner awaking.

At Cbul0232,
You have a lot of insight and thought Provoking content.

yes, I too wish there was room for more discussion. Parts work and past work is such an engaging and interface I’ve topic/experience.

I find your experiences with illness and healing having there own energy is quite on point and can bring in varying thoughts and feelings which can manifest further into illness. Interesting enough, even the healing process can appear to illness, it’s just reversing its way out. I found when working with clients, and my own experience with healing the self, often times the “illness” does not want to leave so a “battle” energy and frequency occurs. All things are a level of energy and frequency, when they no longer vibrate in a manner that is in synergy or conducive to operating in a healthy way the energy needs to raise or lower to operate harmoniously. The physical, emotional, mental, energetic, spiritual aspects of the human system are in a constant state of flux. I found when returning to the soul, coming from place of neutrality the less the “story” I might tell myself matters. The details of why I might have an illness or what the healing looks likes no longer matters. When I from the soul centered approach, the only thing the matters is how I approach the healing or illness. Am I angry or in a place of gratitude for the experience…I know that may sound strange being in a place of gratitude, for experiencing an illness, but If a soul continues to re-incarnate time and time again, and I get to clear energy through experiencing and illness, I can be in a state of gratitude the experience, hold compassion for myself etc…which then I can extend that same compassion to others.

Many wonderful sharings. I fate some time experiencing expanding my sensory awareness and delving deeper into parts work I feel changed. As I expanded my awareness, I and paid attention to my physical body, I realized my body feels tense and in constant state of stress and tight. I realized I had not been letting go of what my sensory body was taking. In my work, I am constantly looking and observing the world around me, and paying attention to what it out of the “norm”. Looking at the part of me, I just call the “worker”. I have not been letting the “worker” return to a state of rest. I had been keeping the “worker” on when at home, when driving, it, even if it was not on the forefront, the “worker” was definitely at the surface in all other areas of my life, which was getting in. The way of me being more present when another part of myself was needing attention. The “rejuvenator”. My body and entire system requires rest and relaxation. I realized, I have not been feeding that part of me. I my physical body and mind have been feeling like it’s on overdrive, even when I am have been sitting still. I noticed, even when in my “sit” spot, I have not been able to reach a more relaxed physical state. My breath, I been having to consciously let my breath go and remind myself to breath.

Taking a look at these few parts of myself, and realized the “worker” I would like to take less information in. So adjusting my sensory awareness to reduce information, not shutting life or others out, just filtering it better, so I can be more present with myself. Interesting enough, as I noticed I was more present with myself, I felt it was easier to be more present with others. So I sat at my ‘sit” spot, which often times the my dogs come outside with me. I quietly watch them play, as I noticed my energy shift, so does theirs. I laughed all of the sudden they both would just stop wrestling and look up at me from across the yard and stare at me for a number of seconds waiting to see if I would do anything. Then nothing happens, and they returned to play…haha. I actually felt my body relaxed.

As I have been creating more opportunity to rejuvenate, it’s been a bit easier to put into practice tuning into to others while assisting them. I found listening to what’s beneath the surface instead on the surface allowed me to assist the person better. Often times I just had to actively listen, they would come to their own resolution. There was nothing I needed to do other than be present.

Soul parts work and creating a mandala is very insightful. I never considered making a mandala of myself. It’s like a personal map that can change as I change and grow. I found that the mandala assist in bring light to my “shadow” areas” which is not always fun to look at. I find this will be an effective and useful tool the more I put into practice.

[Gina Lobito]

At Deana, feel free to email me. gmlobito1@gmail.com. That would be great to share costs with lodging and car.

I realized what need to shift, I was placing responsibility on myself for things that I am not responsible for, nor do I need to be.

Online Forum Discussion: Take this question to your Vision Council: How are you living in alignment with Vision now, and What beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes need to shift or be developed to become more aligned to Vision? (Asking this question to Soul and to the Vision Council will reveal a lot of information. Try to capture it all, and remember you have a choice as to what you share in the forum.)

This is a great question. Over the past few months, I have not been living in alignment with Vision from “now” place. I am currently in the middle of many transitions to my home life. Where once, I had a home to myself and could find refuge from my day when I returned home. Now, I am living as part of a family, which is wonderful, but I am challenged in this transition of space and retreat in order to rejuvenate myself. I realized the longing for what I left instead of enjoying where I am, was bringing me an internal discord. My body was feeling compressed. As I asked the question of How can I maintain the peace with in me and return to my inner joy. I put the 7 breaths into practice, surrendered to spirit/Vision Council. The realization, was clear to me. Yes, I am going through a transition and have become part of a household, but I was neglecting to continue to do the things that bring me joy and take care of my needs first, not from a selfish way, but from a caring way, so I can show up 100% and be more present with the household. I had to be more present with myself and return to daily practices that assist me with that.

[Gina Lobito]

Christine,
You sound like are in a beautiful place in life. Like a void, where anything and everything is possible. I appreciate your sharing. It reminds me to be in flow and allow for the vision to appear. It’s a beautiful reminder for me to surrender, be patient and fluid. Thank you for your sharing.

Gina

[Gina Lobito]

Deanna,
I am excited to see your vision come to fruition. Guided our youth and offering the experience of nature connection is a beautiful thing. I am hopeful for the children you impact to continue the joy of nature into adulthood and is part of their daily lives.

[Gina Lobito]

Todd,
Thank you for your share. I too have felt challenged with meeting the my needs (self care) while be present for those around me. I found, while I have many changes in my life over the past four months, the breathing practices and meditation have assisted me in re-focusing, setting a new intention for myself and asked myself how do I want my world to be? When I am bing pulled with a distraction, like the boys “fighting” which most often than not it’s out of boredom, I breath. As I take a breath I invite in love and breath out patience, then intervene. Does this work every time for me. No, but what I realized as I added that same breath and mantra to the start of my day, I have showed up in my experiences with more patience. Taking the breath(s) are assisting me in staying in the moment, having a response as opposed to an emotionally charged reaction. I also, just let myself off the hook so to speak. I do not have to be perfect, nor do I need to be hard on myself and place expectations on myself that do not exist. It has gotten easier with practice. I remind myself, I can only do one thing at a time. I just prioritize and realize it’s okay if there are dishes in the sink, because I chose to play with kids or the dog. I realize the moments are far more valuable and uplifting and I can always do the dishes a little bit later. I found when I am truthful and keep my word it’s respecting myself and others respect it too. So If I tell the kids I an play in 20 minutes after I complete something. That means, I stop what I am doing and play. I may have to put a time limit on depending on the day, but it has giving me more balance with family and my individual wellness.
