My thoughts of the day/week ...
laly's Liberation-journey to emotional freedom
Hi everyone...am back from the Family Constellations workshop and so many things come to mind that I want to share am just bursting.
First of all, that week didn't start out the best as I had the flu all that week before the workshop-- even having to travel to Michigan while still not feeling 100%...
I almost....almost thought of not going...but I felt I needed to go. There was something that I had intended on sharing with the group and had for weeks beforehand been gathering the courage to share my story with the group. IF i hadn't discussed it with them this month ...only assuming here-- but I do not think I would have gotten the courage to share it later on- not in the detail in which I was so forthcoming this time.
Sorry- don't mean to 'beat around the bush' ...just giving an insight as to what I think would have happened if I hadn't shared at Saturday's workshop. Now bear in mind I STILL wasn't feeling 100% on Saturday...in fact almost felt like leaving the workshop and heading home...and even told Drew that...BUT I also said I wasn't going to- BUT that I planned to take it easy that day...all I did was run the registration table-- the food set up-- someone else did (BOY was I glad for that!! )
Anyway...getting sidetracked ...lol.
At one point in the workshop... it was discussed that it is possible for people to "take on" other people's things without realizing it-- like a deceased sibling or parent/family member. That is try and take their place in the family 'systemic' order. Drew presented an example of one way that this could happen, and I raised my hand n waited to be recognized. Now the entire time I had been listening to people talking... I felt a presence surrounding me the entire time and upon my shoulders and arms. It is was gave me the courage to speak up.
I shared with the group my family story -- which correlated with what we were just discussing- and that is ---
I learned a few years ago that I had/have 10 siblings I never knew about and that I am the only surviving female (besides my two older brothers). Let me just say the looks on people's faces in the room when I said that --looks of disbelief and even shock! Now normally I would have broke down and cried, but this time I held my head up and looked at each face head on- not looking down or nothing. A HUGE step of courage for me.
It was a great day for me
. After lunch (eating what I could) , I perked up energy wise and started to feel the energy of the room. From that point on, it was a great day for me.
I didn't let not hearing good upset me at all...but breathed in the energy of the room and released it.
A truly wonderful day for me ...despite starting it not feeling 100% normal .

laly's Liberation-journey to emotional freedomThanks Jack...
I think what surprised me the most was feeling their "presence" in the room - it was a very uplifting and encouraging feeling-it gave me the peace of mind to know what I was about to share-- they were "all for it". As I shared that with Drew...he was like 'that's awesome". Never in my life have I ever felt "THAT" much energy behind me before. As I mentioned...it gave me the courage and knowledge that what I was going to share - was the the right thing and right place to do so. As I mentioned to Drew..it just "felt" like it was right. |

laly's Liberation-journey to emotional freedomYeah...it was feeling those energies behind me that it 'felt' right for me to share...even felt encouraging.
*begins to weep.... I can not explain what it felt like , energy wise, to have felt their presence behind me. Even felt my shaman's presence as well. Some , or maybe most, of you have known me since I joined KSMO in 2005 and know that I am never shy about talking about almost anything - I may blush still, but never stops me from being very upfront and honest. ![]() It comes from growing up with men all my life...some men can not fathom that a woman could 'understand' them , but I do. Now I spent some time talking to Drew about growing up with men and how now I am trying to un-learn those roles I in-advertantly may have taken on. I mean this in regards to seeing women at the workshop with hair all done up nice, make-up on, jewelry, toe and an fingernails painted, etc.- and I shook my head in bemusement. I'll finish this later ... |
