“If you want to know whether you have stuff to work on… Just go home for the weekend”

Wow, have I found this to be true! Some of my clients and friends say that they even don’t have to go home – they just need to think about home and they get triggered.

Why is this so?  So many of us have come a long way in our communication and people skills.  In parts of our lives, we can handle the uncertainty, problem solve and have unlimited patience.  Then we get a call from a family member and here come those old feelings and behaviours.

To understand this phenomenon, it is helpful to re-examine the source of our conditioning and how Pure Awareness Techniques can address this.

What to Do About It

Before we can resolve this conditioning, it is important to understand that “Everything is Energy!” Scientists can show us that every solid item, in fact, everything that exists can be microscopically examined to the tiniest particle of energy.  This includes limiting beliefs and emotional experiences.

It is not hard to figure this out.  Just scan your body and notice where you feel the anger, insecurity or fear.  It will be in your stomach, shoulders or somewhere.  And depending whether we are responding unconsciously from our childhood programming or consciously from our adult learning, we will respond differently. We can feel the emotion in our body.

The Human Computer

To further understand our conditioning we can use the metaphor of a computer because computers were designed to replicate the human brain.  Believe it or not, our conditioning is just faulty human software.

It all begins in childhood. It doesn’t matter whether we got yelled at for spilling the milk or a more intense experience.  Our young brain goes inside and says, “I don’t like this feeling, I think I will not feel so much”.  First it is important to understand that is the spindle cells in our brain that process emotion. When we are children we do not have as many spindle cells as we do when we get older.

But the damage is done. The software of “I’m not good enough” and the desire to avoid intense feelings is installed.   Put several of these experiences together and we have the equivalent of too many open files on our computer.  We all know what too many open files do to our computer; it either slows down or crashes. As humans we also can get overwhelmed or desire to shut down our system. Has this ever happened to you?

So what happens when we go home?  Old open files and software get triggered and sometimes you hear your six or sixteen year old voice respond to the presenting situation.  You may over-react or shut down completely.

When this happens we really are not responding to the present situation.  We are responding to what this current tone of voice, comment or conflict reminds me of that is unresolved from the past.

Your adult brain may not even approve of your response but you do it anyway.  Talk about an internal conflict!

Why Just Talking About It Is Not Enough

Many of us have tried talking about our “problems” hoping to solve them. Yet we still feel emotion in our bodies and experience repeating patterns. It doesn’t seem to go away.

Again, using the metaphor of the computer, we know that being able to identify the virus and outdated software on our computer won’t get rid of it.  We can name it, we know when it showed up and willing the computer to change will not remove the virus or update the software. You have to run a virus removal program and sometime install an upgraded program.

But if you are like many people you have tried traditional methods of trying to identifying factors and causes in dealing with the past. The problem is that the feelings are still in the body. And all the talking does not change it. For many it is time to try something different.

Pure Awareness Techniques – The Virus Removal Process

There is a new emerging science that can address what previously took years to resolve. Pure Awareness techniques can help us release emotional pain and stress through mind/body energy techniques, and can be an effective tool for completing open files.  When the open files are complete, we are calmer and calmness brings options.  And this can be done very quickly.

As a Leadership and Life coach specializing in this field, I have done over 5000 coaching sessions using a specific protocol and the Pure Awareness techniques. This is what I have come to expect.

• Physical sensations of distress (such as tense muscles, racing heart, lumps in the throat or sensations in the pit of the stomach) are alleviated.
• Disturbed thought processes (such distorted perceptions and catastrophic expectations) are normalized.
• Negative emotions (fear, panic, anger, helplessness, confusion, etc.) are replaced by inner peace.
• Unhelpful behavioural tendencies (flight or fight or freeze responses, for example) are corrected. All of this can be achieved using the natural resources of the body’s energetic system.

These changes often happen within only minutes, and yet the inner transformation is often profound and enduring. There is a large generalization effect of completing old files – meaning that the dealing of one issue often causes resolution in many other issues (a real bonus!).

After correcting problems energetically, clients report common experiences. They say things like the following:

The specialized coaching process and Pure Awareness techniques can be used to treat a large array of distressing symptoms including the following types of problems and more:

I am in the business of helping people upgrade their old outdated software…Imagine going into a family or work situation without being triggered or reduced to a small child or a teenager …what a gift to yourself.

If you are triggered by old family dynamics, a colleague or you just want to upgrade your software, call me for a free introductory coaching session.  705-745-4006 or email cw@goldenpathways.ca

It may be time to upgrade your inner human software.

Make 2010 your best year ever,
