Abuse?? Really?? How can the most degrading experience in the world set one free? I am here to tell you that the abuse I have experienced in my life has set me free. Watching who I had become after years of being a victim was scary. I was doing things many would call self abusive.
I recognized that I was allowing myself to be a victim and that I felt so crappy about myself that I was becoming a self abuse bully. I searched for years to find the one thing that would make me feel better about myself. It seemed that I experienced abuse and bullying regularly in my life. I used to fake being self confident and in my power but many saw through the facade and would treat me like the victim I believed I was.
Freedom means so much to me! If I felt trapped or cornered I would become defensive or run and hide. This was not freeing at all although at the time it was the best safety mechanism I had. Looking back over the past few years I see how defensive I needed to be. All the healing work I did helped but it was always there as my last resort weapon.
Last year I discovered Reference Point Therapy an alternative healing technique and worked on my defensiveness and my abuse issues. After a few sessions and a workshop a friend said to me “Melissa, I do not see your defensive reaction any more!” I had to really think about what she said because I did not realize how overt that behavior was and that it was gone! So because I worked on my abuse I have been set free from my defensiveness as well as other behaviors that created havoc in my life.
I am grateful to my experiences. I wake up everyday knowing that today will only be better than yesterday because I have been set free.
Mother Earth and Sedona
January 26th, 2010I have been researching information about Sedona, AZ for the retreat this spring. I have not been there for years and as I look at the red rocks I can feel mother earth calling me. You do not have to be a tree hugger to appreciate and love the beauty and energy of our mother earth especially the red rocks and energy lines of Sedona. I cannot wait to meditate and connect to the celestial and earth in the high powered center of Sedona.
The uncreation of creation
January 22nd, 2010Jan 22, 2010
Being in balance is possible!! I experienced it the other day. I was loading some media software (from a CD and it was a Sony Product) onto my computer and the computer froze and went dead. OMG!!!!! My computer has EVERYTHING for my business and personal life. Videos, pictures, my websites, well you get the picture. (Pun intended) So I try to restart it, took out the battery and it still was trying to repair the problem and failing at it. My next step was to take it to the Geek Squad in Best Buy. The very nice man tried to restore the hard drive to a previous date, before I loaded the software that crashed my computer. He could not get the hard drive to to restore, it seemed to easy fix was not working. He told me that I needed to take out the hard drive, back up my system and do a recovery. As you may know, that means that I will have only the factory settings and ALL the software I have loaded up will have to be reloaded and then reload all my other information I had to back up from my hard drive. Really??? It will take me days to do all that!
Years ago that would have freaked me out but I was handling it well. Ok, I bought the backup thingy and tried to back up my hard drive. I just could not figure it out so I put it away for the night. The next morning I woke up feeling stressed about all the information I may lose and all the work ahead of me trying to reload everything. I realized at that moment that this was my creation and I could easily uncreate it!!!
I also realized that what happened was a way to sabotage myself. I was working on some great projects that would get my name out there. Many of us have fears come up when we think or take action to become bigger and more known. So I took a few minutes and worked on my sabotage and other issues using Theta Healing and Reference Point Therapy. It only took me a few minutes and I knew it was time to fix my computer.
I love my computer and she knows it! Yes, she is beautiful and I really love her no matter how crazy that may sound. I talked to her and told her that I loved her and we were done with the sabotage. I tried again to restore it from a previous date. . It WORKED!!! I restored the computer to 2 days prior so the software I had loaded that was freaking out my operating system was no longer on it.
Although I was a little stressed I was amazed at how calm and level headed I felt. I felt in balance and in control. It was something I never knew I could do. I know that all the Reference Point Therapy and Theta Healing work I have done has made the most profound changes in me and my reactions to life. I am at peace with the world and know that I can shift what I created!! The power I feel from this is incredible!
Thanks for letting me share!
Sending you love and peace
