Addiction to me was an external solution to an internal problem of being me. I was so
uncomfortable within myself that something external was needed to divert me from the feeling of
being. The strange thing was that I didn’t even recognize that I felt uncomfortable. The ways I
had diverted myself from being able to feel had been going on since childhood. These were
implemented by me in response to my personal experiences and trauma and then were
encouraged and solidified into actual concrete ways to manage the human experience in
relation to ‘other’ both by the way I was brought up and the society I was brought up in.
My generation (I am 50 years old) were not taught to listen to our bodies. I ‘knew’ that gut
feelings and intuition come from the body, NOT the mind but I found it virtually impossible to
listen to what my body was communicating, I didn’t know how and I had always relied on my
‘mind’ for reasons of safety and security, it was the only way I knew. The mind can tell us
absolute nonsense, it can make up whole stories about events and situations, but the body
DOES NOT LIE.
Is it any wonder we find it hard to hear the messages that our body is offering us, in the micro in
every single moment, RIGHT NOW. We have spent our whole lives using our mind to navigate
our experience. This is how we were taught.
In the case of an addict (like I was) we have gone even further to absolutely annihilate the
body’s capacity to communicate with us because it was probably actually too much to bear on
some level. We have been groomed by our life experiences and conditioning to deny the body
its place in our Being as a resource of intuitive knowledge and wisdom.
Energetically, BEING is feminine in nature and DOING is masculine. The feminine energy in all
of us, whether we are male or female, over the last centuries has been suppressed and silenced
in so many ways. I am talking about the internal individual experience but of course there is no
separation between our internal and external. Change only ever takes place within the internal
experience and only happens in this moment, NOW.
Your BEING, your body is communicating with you as you are reading this message. When you
can clear out your conditioning and patterns that are cloaking this fundamental intuitive resource
of yours, then you are able to fully integrate your body, mind and spirit enabling complete
access to ALL your inner resources.
You may have forgotten you have this capacity within yourself…. The distractions and
diversions are so plentiful. You may not believe this can be true for you, you may not feel safe
to even look or explore this topic…… BUT somewhere, somewhere in the depths of your BEING
way beyond the limitations of your mind, you KNOW, you have always known. That is why there
is this feeling of discomfort, restlessness, the wondering of what is this all about? Why am I
here? It’s quiet…. just there in the background, perhaps you can feel it. This is your journey.
This is why you have survived all the things you have survived and you are still going, still
moving forward, still questioning.
At Archetype Alchemy I can share with you a method to access all the resources within yourself
and free yourself from the conditioning that holds you back from living your true calling. When
you know exactly who and what you are, why would you ever need to numb out?? Everything
changes when you change. You are the bringer of change. You are the clearer of the trauma
that has been passed on from generation to generation. You can do this. It’s what you came
for.
With LOVE, experience, strength and hope for your own unique truth to hit you in the face like a
hammer.
