Tapping Into The Power Within
By Suzan Proia, C.Ht. If I had a collection of all the issues that my clients resolved over the years, most would boil down to a single root cause. In almost every case they gave their personal power away. A shift occurred, and their inner core of strength became fragmented by relinquishing that power to an event, an individual(s), a situation, a belief or a substance. We may feel an internal imbalance when we allow this to happen, which often morphs into negative emotions and behaviors: stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, insomnia and depression are common. Since we instinctively tend to seek balance, many people will attempt to reclaim the power they have lost. There are numerous methods to achieve this, and each of us resonates with a particular approach. My personal choice is EFT (emotional freedom techniques), or tapping. When my boyfriend recently recognized that I had given away (and never completely reclaimed) my power from a loved one in my past, it was time to get to work. I admit, it is much easier for me to help someone else, and I was resistant. This issue ran deep, and the session that unfolded was one of the most powerful I have experienced. The emotional relief that came from collapsing this challenge was liberating. The intensity of the impromptu session and the dramatic results served as a distinct reminder on several levels. Our inner work is ongoing and there is always something we can tweak. The more clear we are as individuals, the more we can offer to the world. Healing is a possibility when we remain open and make time to create the necessary shifts within. Seek assistance if you need it, and embrace your power!

Transform With Inner Journeys
By Maribeth Theisen Have you ever felt fragmented, like you’re not ‘yourself’? Perhaps different voices in your mind each have their own agenda. In one situation you have one set of feelings; in another you think differently. For instance, at work you are patient and even-tempered, but when you get home you snap at your kids. You are multi-dimensional – your body houses your mind, your emotions, your spirit! And, you are connected to the thoughts, emotions and spirit of others. Each of these realms is incredibly complex. Take your mind, for example. Just as a galaxy is composed of countless stars, a person has many selves – the hurt child, powerful warrior, nurturing parent, industrious worker, infinite God/ dess and many others. Each represents an ability to respond and adapt to different situations. We experience an integrated sense of oneness when we are centered. But when we go about our day on autopilot, reacting to life habitually, our parts step in to handle the tasks before us. Sometimes it’s the wrong one for the job! How do you create inner peace and wholeness? Here are some ways: 1) Recognize a part when it emerges; consciously make a different choice. 2) Meditate more, and allow your infinite nature to have more time in charge. Observe any voices that arise, acknowledge them and allow them to pass. 3) Lovingly explore and befriend your inner family with a trained therapist, to heal wounded aspects of yourself. Learn to consciously and intentionally bring forward the desired wisdom or skill – when you want it. Become like the conductor of a well-tuned orchestra. 4) Work with a shamanic practitioner who uses ceremony to retrieve parts you lost through grief or trauma. Ritual can open you to new dimensions of consciousness. Maribeth Theisen, LCSW, CCHt is a psychotherapist and shamanic practitioner who has facilitated many forms of inner journey transformation for decades.
