Round Table

See you all tomorrow for our last call for November!

My entire life, I’ve avoided any and all relationships, from romantic to friendships to even keeping family at a distance (I’m honestly not sure how I ended up married except that I was ready for a change at that time in my life when I met my wife).  No doubt, this avoidance was due in large part to anxiety and inferiority, inadequacy and…[Read more]

Such an energetic and joyful day. I wanted to share this quote that touched me deeply.
It’s not perfection I seek, but freedom for what’s in my heart.
-A Grace

I am still basking in the body felt-healing sense of our last call.
I truly felt healing and warmth from my head to my toes.
I have welcomed grief and sadness into my process.
I think that is what I like about art therapy.
It’s not about art, it’s about expressing emotion or something that wants to be known.
I created a piece last week that…[Read more]

I’m not sure how to answer question 4 of the finishing unfinished business process.  It calls for a yes or no answer but it doesn’t seem that simple to me.  In theory, I’d say that I’m willing to stop buying into this pattern, my old story, or I wouldn’t have been healing these past 3 years.  On the other hand, I still haven’t healed which su…[Read more]

Yesterday when I was out running errands I observed something interesting about myself and what I was feeling. I felt like everyone around me was relaxed and authentic, while I felt like I was not able to do the same. It was a feeling of not being able to be okay as I am. Like I was doing something wrong and I definitely had that feeling of not…[Read more]

Hi everyone! I’m way behind but I worked on some things tonight. Here’s a list of some of my judgments. Also, I realized tonight after reading some of your shares that my unfinished business that I need to work on the most right now is resolving the relationship with my brother whom I haven’t spoken to in over five years.

My judgments:

I…[Read more]

On my facebook profile, one of the first pictures that appears is that of myself and 3 women making faces at the camera, taken and posted this past January.  Despite a prior, limited connection of only a few months previous on facebook, I’d only  met these women in person for the first time less than 48, and possibly less than 24 hours, bef…[Read more]

My November mind platter goals/skills.

Focus: Complete 4 weekly artist journal entries. One a week. My Art Therapist is out on medical leave for the next 6 weeks and I want to keep up the rhythm of expressing/journaling.

Focus: Deleted Social Media from my phone. Only check once a day for “downtime” reading. No screens after 8pm, shift to…[Read more]

I revisited my inner child today.  During the meditation, it wasn’t always clear what was coming up for me.   But my focus was different too, in that I was more focused on what was important which was just my presence, meaning there was no room for analysis, doubt or being caught up in an old story.  This allowed me to not get confused by all the…[Read more]

I just rewrote my monthly mind platter goals. I am realizing that avoidance in 2 areas are solidly there. Getting curious to the why?
I am willing to keep walking toward the path of wholeness that bring more balance and awareness in my life. It feels like a rocky part of my path to climb, but my soul is pulling me along. I am sitting with them…[Read more]

3. Take a moment to acknowledge that this pattern is playing out a major life lesson and is an opportunity for spiritual growth. What might that life lesson be?

My life story, the old one, led me along an incredibly unique path to my awakening process but ultimately it was all in service to this awakening in this present moment.  My…[Read more]

One of the gifts that I am holding onto as I have been exploring in ” letting go of judgements”, is Awareness. I woke up one morning with the thought “I am closed for Business”. As I explored this process within, I realized that I want to grow and take responsibility for my truths and actions. Back to the Spiritual Truth Number #13, I am res…[Read more]

I am in love with your engagement, process and depth. This group is a reflection of your openness, love and grace. You are a demonstration of healing energy for Self and the collective. Thank you! We are creating this sacred space together. And we are healing together.

The life I intend to experience, not just 6 months from now, but even today, is one of appreciation for what is.   Simplest way I can put it.   It probably starts today (I’m fact, its been in motion for a while now) with recognizing how I hold my anxiety.  I currently hold it as my normal state, meaning I’m comfortable, or more accurately, fami…[Read more]

Happy One month anniversary to me. I am not hiding doing my process. I am letting go of another group that I joined before I found my way here. I am thankful to be in this circle and to be connected. I like that we get into the marrow of things, It’s not a passive scrolling kind of participation. I am going back to my mind platter to check in my…[Read more]

Wes, will you share the Inner Child meditation you did, please?!
