Activating your inner guidance system or why less is more
Who or what guides you? One of the things I have found fascinating working with people over the years is how many people let themselves be swayed by almost anything but their own "still, small voice" and then wonder why they feel unhappy and disoriented. We live in a society obsessed by more..except when it's a female body...then it's definitely a whole lot Less! Witness the size zero debate...and what exactly is a size zero anyway...is it Ireland/UK size 6 or size 4 (about the size of a handbag really..)
There is so much noise...the noise of the TV, the media, our family, work colleagues, the relentless critical voice in our heads that repeats over and over again that you are not enough, that you need more external stuff/approval/attention. But it never seems to be enough...we end up in relationships, jobs, marriages that we kinda, sort of knew were not right for us...but were swept away on the tide of "it's what everyone does", "but it seems so good on paper!". It's so deliciously, seductively easy to cede our power to outside forces and then blame them when it's not what we really wanted..
That true inner guidance system of our intuition and deep inner wisdom gets buried under a load of mental clutter. It's really difficult to be guided by your own inner guidance system..(the one that know what is really good for you...not your parents, family, friends and society) if you are busy trying to figure out how to please everyone...and have you ever had the misfortune to be around someone who doesn't know their own mind? Would you rather deal with someone who was clear about what they wanted and was willing to request and negotiate or someone who kept trying to figure out what YOU wanted and then complain because it's not something they want to do...(are you with me???)
Take Action!
- Have an information fast: for a week, don't watch any TV or just choose 1-2 programmes to watch and then turn off the set. Only read the paper once a week. Your life will continue without having to listen to the relentless emphasis on violence, crime and the self-righteous squawking of some commentators.
- Please yourself: When requests are made of you, begin to ask yourself what YOU want to do...and if you are not sure, ask for time to think about it or just say no. Let your Yes be Yes and your maybe be NO. Practise smiling and saying "sorry, I can't do that".
- Daily spiritual practice: commit to some sort of daily spiritual practice, whether that be prayer, meditation, journalling or writing out a gratitude list (Judith Morgan has a great one on her blog..)
- Define success for yourself: How about you begin by writing out...I know I am successful when...and write out 5-10 ways YOU define success!
- Consciousness Shifting: I know I've been raving about this method in other newsletters but I've just finished training in it and I'm going to offering gift sessions to readers of this newsletter in September and October..see below...
Consciousness shifting - a complimentary session for YOU!
One of the things I have noticed with clients over the years is that quite often they will get stuck in patterns that block their progression so I end up seeing people getting frustrated at finding themselves doing the same old ding-dong again and asking in despair...(a la Talking Heads) "how did I get here? what have I done?".
I know there are many methods to help people shift their "stuff" and good luck to them all...I have no intention of getting into a "my method is better than your method" competition. But this is the method that I have found most effective in helping shift my own "stuff" and that I resonate most strongly with.
What do I like about it? Well, it is both very systematic and intuitive. It uses software analogies (which I like...). It's fast and effective and it goes deep... It tends to work by stripping layers...so if you have a long-standing issue...it could take a few sessions to help you get to the stage where the compulsive element is gone, but ah, the deliciousness of that freedom. Imagine your life without that nagging voice!
You can read more about the method at www.karenvizer.com and www.rockitcoaching.com
I'm planning to allocate two days (Monday 10th September and Monday 8th October) to offer complimentary consciousness shifting sessions to readers of this newsletter. Each reader is entitled to ONE complimentary session. If you wish to have further sessions they will be €60 (€75 for non-subscribers) payable in advance by Paypal or bank transfer.
Each slot is 30 minutes and will be as follows:
Morning: 9.30 - 12.30
Afternoon: 2.00 - 4.30
Evening: 7.00 to 8.30
(They are Dublin, Ireland time and if you are not in this timezone, check out www.timeanddate.com to check what the time is in your area)
I have decided to use a VA for this and if you wish to book one of these slots...contact Gloria with two suitable dates/times and she'll get back to you to confirm them. Please put Consciousness Shifting in the subject line and she'll get back to you with contact details.

Making promises to yourself that you don’t keep? Commuting 15 plus hours a week? Hardly seeing your family? If this is what you want for the rest of your life, ignore the rest of this message…it’s not for you! Or are you willing to do some work and make the changes to reveal your TRUE life: meaningful, rich and wonderful? Now What?

NO Regrets
August Group Coaching Program
with Dr. Karen Vizer
Hidden or forgotten regret may be holding
you hostage . . .
and you won’t know if it is if you’re like most people . . .
regret you remember holds you hostage too!
Regret has many causes, here are a few:
- Missed opportunities
- Words that weren’t said to a loved one
- Words that were said to others
- Being clueless about certain situations
- Avoiding or not acting on our intuitive knowing
- Not taking action
- Wasting time
- Wasting money
- Wasting your energy
- Trying to help others and failing
- Guilt about something
- Resignation about something you can’t change
Recent work with clients has shown a pattern or patterns
that when cleared make all the difference in capacity to be the best you can
be.
These patterns, the nested circular energy patterns of regret can be tricky
to discover and erase . . .
Regret causes us to lose energy
Regret causes us to lose ourselves
Regret can take us off purpose
Regret keeps us in mediocrity
Regret causes us not to trust
Regret inhibits flow
Negative attraction can be a consequence of regret
Regret can cause us to feel stuck
We have been playing with the idea of no regrets for sometime and it feels like this is a great opportunity to explore regret in more depth as part of a group coaching process.
What would it be like for you to live your life without regret?
Join Karen for this monumental group coaching program destined to wipe out hidden and known regret once and for all! During this 3 week program we will explore the causes of regret and clean the slate for all of the participants. The group coaching environment is perfect for this exploration.
Remember you have 3 sources of power in your life. How
much is regret depleting your capacity to create and be in flow? How much
of your attraction pattern is influenced by hidden regrets?
We all have them or have had them and now we are all going to lose them!
The details . . .
You get:
- 3 tele-classes of 90 minutes each, these are recorded and you can listen in if you miss one- the calls are from 11-12:30 Pacific time on Tuesday
Class dates: 8/14, 8/21, 8/29
- Assignments designed to help surface and eliminate past regret
- Connection and community with others exploring this topic
