What strategies are you using, to avoid and/or defend the core wounds, are you choosing?
.
Through the various healing modalities I've experienced and currently utilising, I've noticed that there is this thing called 'core strategies'. As I do more of this work, the more clearly I can see its function and how it has been serving the self.
.
In the context of the healing process these strategies are what we use as a means to protect our unprocessed core wounds.
.
Most people feel like they have lost their sense of self, as the strategies become the everyday norm of functioning and applied in many areas of our lives. Some of us are toggling between all these levels being triggered left right and centre and so it feels like situations are happening to us rather than for us.
.
*Core Strategies*
The strategies are sometimes referred to as the ego or pattern. It's not necessarily the substance or activity itself that is the strategy, it is how it is applied. Examples of strategies can be:
- Busyness - filling one's life with chores, tasks & hobbies, excessive talking
- Addictive behaviors - drug & alcohol abuse, screen addiction, gym junkies, attending workshops etc
- Saviour behaviours - always wanting to assist or help others, feeling like you have to put on a happy front all the time
- Controlling situations and/or people's behaviours, talking over people
- Avoidance or checking out of conversations, not being present with other people, quietness
.
There's possibly more you recognise
.
*Core wounds*
The core wounds for me are the unprocessed, unaddressed events that have created a trauma in the energy field for that person which can be of a physical, mental, emotional or spiritual nature.
.
You may see people functioning from this 'hurt' space.
.
*Core Self*
Where we can function in life with our core healthy sense of self
.
With the correct environment that invites the ripe moment, beautiful awarenesses can take place for us which gives space for the strategies and core wounds to be acknowledged for what it is.
Our Core Self is always there and for some people, a realisation that our true essence is of an infinite nature and is in allowance of all these parts to show up.
There are so many different ways to tend to our strategies, wounds and core self - from meditation, systemic constellations, shamanic journeys, body work and more. What does your body and being require for this to be with ease and grace?
.
So if you're feeling stuck in life, wondering why you're always being triggered and/or situations keep repeating themselves, be aware of where you are functioning from in that moment. What is coming up in your field?
Perhaps there is an old strategy or core-wound that is required to be seen and acknowledged now.
.
The only way out is in. (look inwards)
The only way in is out. (expand outwards)
.
How much ease can you have with all of that?

Who or what are you still trying to save?

I am loving the systemic constellations work and what the knowing field can show us. More often than not, we have lots of younger versions of ourselves who have taken on our parents burdens in order to either belong and/or stop them from being hurt.

Even into adulthood we subconsciously still try and 'save' others and take on things which are not ours to carry to 'keep the peace'. This showed up for a client recently where she had unknowingly took on at a young age the hurt of her mother and fathers abusive trauma that they had experienced, leaving the client overwhelmed, going through the same abuse and not feeling supported herself no matter how much she asked and reached out for help.
.
The field showed that she was ready to receive that information and awareness of the burdens she took on and how that impacted herself and her family. She was able to lovingly hand that back to source.
.
You do not have to re-live or re-visit your traumatic experience. You CAN make a change, no matter what the story is.
.
Here is a poem that was shared by one of the amazing facilitators on the constellation conference. “Imposter Syndrome” by Suzi Tucker (one of the 1st generation trainers of the family constellation work)
.
Do you recognise yourself in any of this poem? What more is possible for you now?

"Okay, it didn’t matter how many gold stars I collected when I was 5 years old. Pleased (puffed up) and then ashamed (deflated) was already in place. Because, you see, I’d pulled one over on the one doling out the gold stars, the teacher or aunt or baby-sitter, and I would be caught at some point.

The relationship with my imposter, was well established, maybe at birth — not a syndrome, a relationship. The little one who understood belonging, who understood love, to be highly conditional. I see her clear as day, putting on a smile that doesn’t quite mask the fear in her eyes. She whispers, I will earn my belonging in order to survive. I will do it well (as defined by other) … though it is too much for me.

So, imposter syndrome? No, imposter is a part of me, the one who tried to take good care of the big ones who were frail and angry or sad, the part of me who your kept secrets even though she didn’t understand their meaning, who answered the door when the big one was drunk, or who lay perfectly still in the tiny bed not making a noise when strangers visited — or who became the smartest in the class, the best at, the most entertaining, the strongest, the truth teller and lie detector, everything, anything, except for the tiny girl simply skipping freely in the breeze of childhood, stomping through the mud, scraping her knee on the rough sidewalk of 181st street, and tearing her pretty dress.

The important ones needed tending to, and though she was unable, had no idea what she was doing, how to make up for or fill in, she did it. To survive. To keep from falling into others’ sadness, to keep from being punished, from being banished, forgotten, disappeared.

You see, the tasks came to her through the bloodstream, only rarely words, and the words were usually of guilt not of freedom. These roles were impossible, unbearable. It is not possible for the little one to hold the weight of those behind her, directly at the kitchen table, Mother, Father, Grand or Great, or in the back fields in Poland or Hungry or Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey, Honduras, the United States. It is not possible, and still we take it on because it is there, the thick rope of belonging that we are given or pick up or are entrained by. And then we know, immediately and forever, that the promise we make, we cannot — and should not have to —fulfill. I will do it for you is not in the mirror but in the faces of others."

In this way the Imposter has deep roots, is not simply a weak part of us, but reflects a vulnerable part of the familial community for which we think we can compensate, and which we cannot abandon. We are under the impression, suffocating under the impression, that do it differently is to abandon. The Imposter forges ahead even as she stays behind.
The truth is, my Imposter from long ago has no idea that time has

past, that I have grown. And, not knowing this, when life shows up at the door, a fresh image at the threshold, she comes out, my sweet reflex. She drums at my heart. It is too fast, the little one’s beat, anxiousness thrumming throughout my chest. I must tell her, It’s okay, you can rest. Sit beside me. I have room for you. Look with me: mirror, mirror on the wall, here I am after all." - Suzi Tucker (www.suzitucker.com)

How you be and what do you require now?
Hello dear Access Bars Practitioners and Body Process Practitioners!
How have you been? So much has happened since I have last seen most of you. What have you been creating with these dynamic Access Consciousness body processes? Are you able to meet up with others and practice, or offer sessions to friends and family? Or have you parked all of this on a shelf somewhere? That's totally allowed by the way. But ff you're feeling you want to move ahead with some things, below are a few tips and reminders in what's possible for you and your practice with these body processes. 

'The target of Access is ONENESS and to invite you to know that you know'

Light versus Heavy
Remember to follow the lightness that is the path of least resistance for you. Sometimes the awareness just comes, or comes later in response to a question. A reminder that you have the tool for light verses heavy.

'What is true for you makes you feel lighter. A lie makes you feel heavier"

It's okay if you don't resonate with the practice anymore. Perhaps that's what your body just required for that moment when you chose it.  We are blessed to have so many choices of tools and healing methods, so it really is about following what is true for you!

What questions can I ask here?
Questions can assist you to access your awareness and your knowing. Sifting through the smorgasbord of a truck-tonne of energetic information can be with more ease with questions. Below are a few suggestions. Become aware of your awareness and notice what you notice. 

About you and the sessions: examples

• Does my body enjoy running this {body process}? 
• Are these {body processes} a contribution to my life and living? 
• Does running this {body process} create greater for me and my body? 
• Will this {body process} be a contribution to this/these person(s)?
• How many sessions does this person require?

• Can this person receive this body process?
• How long is the session required for?
• Has the process finished now?
• What space can I be here for this session that will create total ease for both of us?
• What more is possible?
• How does it get any better than this?

For the Access Bars Practitioners
Is anything else required whilst running the bars e.g. Trifold sequencing or running by dimensions?

Contributing to your business 
The most common questions when it comes to the business side of things is, 'how much should I charge for a session?', and in these more recent years is 'how can I even operate under these new COVID 'rules'?'.
It is totally up to you how much if at all, you can charge for a session and perhaps there are different costings in different situations.  As for how, where and when to operate, you really have to be okay to own your choice. Some people are taking their service operations to a home environment. and others have opted to make choices that allows them to operate in more public spaces, with many putting offerings on pause mode.. There really is no wrong choice. Only an aligned choice. 

Questions you can ask:
- Where does my business want to be right now?
- Does my business/services want to be on pause right now?
- What feels light to charge for this session?
- What would be fun to charge?
- Hey session, what price do you want to be priced at (on this occasion)
- Hey session, do you require advertising? If so where do you want to be seen and when?
- What else does my business require to be or do to contribute to my life and living?
- How else can we create this body? And what other information do I require right now?

Hey session, bring the people to me that are looking for you that have the money and are willing to pay for these body process sessions. How else can this show up that I could never imagine?

How do I describe what it does?
Hey guess what? You can ask more questions!
'What can this person hear right now?'
Sometimes, we might get in a bit of tangle over explaining things and even worse, over promising or saying something that's incorrect. Keep things simple and find a language you are comfortable with. You may find different people require different words.  Use text (copy) from the Access Consciousness websites if you feel stuck. There are plenty of marketing materials available through them.  If it's a body process with a super long sentence, you can simplify the words for marketing purposes. Again ask questions. 
What words does this person require to hear about this process?

Examples:
- This is a dynamic body process that will create more ease for you and your body
- Helps create more space in your world
- Creates more ease with the stresses of COVID 
- Unlock tension, build immunity and offer your body harmony
- Access bars is like a defragging your brain

If you're still feeling stuck with all of this and would like some facilitation, contact me and we can chat through it

How much ease can you have with all of life?

(And a load of other stuff!)

Like really! This is one of the most valuable things I have benefited from Access Consciousness is the use of questions as a tool for consciousness and navigating your way through to the path of least resistance - and hey it's free!! The questions are designed to access your knowing and your own awareness on matters for the conscious explorer. There is an art in the creation of the questioning which can seem a little strange at first, almost like learning a new language, but will flow more once you get the hang of it.  

When I met my new 'Access' friend, it was like I had never heard anyone speak in such a light and expansive way.  'What did you just say?' I kept asking. I did not realise how entrained most of us have become in having to have answers.

Questions can invite awareness in invoke the explorer in us (and so can choice but that will be in another blog), but over engineered questions can trip us over where we are invested in outcome and bend the question to suit our needs and projections. E.g. Where's my 100 clients per month that will come through my sales funnel for this particular project? I've put my intentions in, why is it not working?!!

I explored this topic further as I began to practice asking questions without having to come up with the answers. 

I became aware of the different types of questions and the energy I was being behind the words. Here's what I came up with...(video or text below)

What is the energy behind your question? Types and purpose of questions:

• Are you actually asking for awareness? 
• What state are you asking the question from? E.g. need, curiosity, open questions, versus closed questions
• Is your question really a question? – are you forcing this to be a certain way. E.g. how can I get the money to afford this hotel? Versus – where can I stay that will create most ease here?
• Are you wanting to know WHY? What is the energy behind the WHY? from a place of 'woe is me', or 'what have I been choosing that's creating this?'

 
Asking ...and then receiving (or not!)

• Are you in allowance of how, when, why, what and who shows up in response to the question?
• Our ASKS sometimes will be showing up - but it might not look pretty or as we expected it to show up. 
• Why? Is this happening is not a question – as the universe will just show you ‘why’ again this is happening
• Awareness might not always be straight away or cognitive
• Awareness may be an abstract energy sensation
• Lightness = truth versus heaviness = lie
• Rephrasing questions to energetic alignment and sift through the smorgasbord of infinite

 
Examples of questions (inspired by Access Consciousness)

What more is possible?™

ABOUT
This EP has been compiled as a vehicle for Yee Ley’s healing voice. Participants at her live sound baths have expressed that her voice has been the most transformational element of the sound-scapes and have requested more of this on the Sonic Tonic releases. So here it is, layers and layers of sounds, created using only Yee Ley’s voice and showcasing her vocal range and versatility:

Track 1: The Call
The track consists of 8 layers of voice, and is the only track on the EP that has e!ects applied to the original voice recordings.

Track 2: A I O
AIO is Maori word for peace
​This track carries inspiration from the land of Aotearoa (New Zealand). It is an acknowledgement and thank you to the land and to all the beings that have supported Yee Ley’s mahi (work) in Aotearoa, New Zealand. There are 26 layers of voice recorded; toning the vowels A, I, O individually, and an additional 11 layers of sounds, created using Yee Ley’s voice. Sound inspirations include: purorohu (bull roarer), pūtōrino (bugle flute), and kererū (NZ pigeon in flight)

Track 3: Release
Again featuring only Yee Ley’s voice, including a background track of 21 layers of vowel toning, harmonic overtones appear between and within the layers. Overlaying this background track, are 10 melodies and vocal expressions.

Track 4: Deep within
The deep ‘monk’ sounding vocals are all Yee Ley’s voice. No modifications or manipulations are applied. This lower range of throat singing (aka overtone singing) spontaneously came through Yee Ley at a sound bath event whilst she was playing a crystal bowl - nicked named the ‘Buddha Joy’ bowl. This background ‘monk’ chanting of vowel sounds contain 8 layers of Yee Ley’s voice. This is the only track on the EP that contains a non-human voice, which is the fairy chimes playing gently in the background.
