Day 2:
The Many Facets of the Need for Safety, Create your Mantra and Being Good and Wrong-Making
"We've unknowingly made our life smaller to stay safe only to realize that safety is truly about having a limitless field for relating to life and all that exists within it."
Welcome fellow sojourners to Day 2!
It's only been ONE DAY and I'm feeling the sense that we've already dropped in a couple of layers. I'm diligently working on your completed Questionnaires so please be patient if I haven't gotten to yours yet - I will.
Remember how I mentioned the content syncing up because it builds on itself, one idea at a time. This might already be happening, so be sure to give what's showing up an outlet. And stay with it. Your unconscious Self is taking it all in and probably beginning to stir. You just don't know what you're supposed to be getting out of this experience but holding the space for what shows up is like demonstrating your commitment to every aspect of yourself.
I dive into the Core Need of Safety. And as I recorded the video for it, I realized just how complex the many faces or layers of this aspect of being human, really is. We think we've solved the playback issues so you'll be able to maneuver much better now. I noticed a couple of minor glitches in the video when I rewatched it this morning but found if I rewound it, it recaptured what was missed. This vid went a little over and is 19 minutes long.
I also added 2 More Human Misconception Videos - one on Being Good and the other on Wrong-Making. These Misconceptions are designed to help you unwind and remove the mental ties that limit your fullest expression in life.
And lastly, you'll find videos about how to communicate vulnerably and the importance of building a bridge between your right and left brain.
Last night's LIVE zoom Q&A was awesome. Thank you for showing up and connecting with the other members. No matter whether you're on audio or share your camera, your presence makes it all the richer. For those of you who were unable to be present, or maybe you'd like to revisit some aspect of the conversation, the recording from last night is below in the video section. Our next session is Sunday at 8 pm and the grand finale is on Wednesday at 8 pm where we'll be celebrating our new personal awarenesses and I'll be sharing a model for growth to help you work your growing edge in the future.
You'll find a link that takes you back to the Day One Content if you want to pop back over there. We'll provide links as the days progress for each of the previous days of learning material.
If you haven't taken time to listen to the Inspirational Playlist, this is a good day to do it. Create a personal mantra and write it/draw it on the coloring page provided. And lastly, make sure you're capturing everything that comes up no matter how unusual or unexpected. Your inner Self loves the idea that you are paying this kind of attention.
Each day, your new content will be found RIGHT HERE. Here's an overview of what you'll find on this Day TWO page:

Questions About Needs
In the video about Needs from Day One, I posed a number of questions to help you think about your relationship to needs. I've tried to capture them here, and hope you'll transfer them to your journal for future use as a template to help you work through 'needs' moments.
When does my need become a want?
How do my wants for myself become expectations of another's actions?
Where do I expect others to meet my needs?
How do I handle the needs that i KNOW I have?
Am I aware of having needs but don't articulate them? And why or why not?
Where did I try to tell someone my needs, ask for my needs to be met and they didn't respond to me? And what did I do with that?
What did I decide that meant about my needs?
How do I expect others to take care of my needs?
When have I been disappointed?
Where did I entrust others and they didn't meet my needs?
How do I create a world where my needs are met?
How do I speak about my needs so they are wants but not requirements of others' actions towards me?
What are my everyday needs?
What needs seem to be more important than others?
Do I believe my needs are mine and that I can meet them?

The Good List
If you were intrigued by the videos on BEING GOOD and WRONG-MAKING, this is a good time to let your inner voice find its way to the page.
Make a list of all of the things you think are GOOD and all of the things you think are BAD. Then sit back and ponder them for a few moments.
Why have you made them wrong? What are the experiences that led you to conclude this? Let the images that appear just gently float through your mind.
What would life look like if you thought all of them were neither GOOD nor BAD?
Now choose one that you're particularly intrigued with. Where is there wrong-making attached to it?
What has happened in your life that's caused it to be related to in this way?
Ask yourself what would happen if you gave it a chance to be seen as neither good or bad?
What new freedoms would you have to be in life?
What lives underneath the conclusion about it that was part of your inner experience?
What can you notice about the feelings that you find?
And how can you validate and honor all that you felt?
If you were to be unconcluded in this moment, what might you consider as a new possibility around the moments that led you to conclude this was good/right or bad/wrong?

Writing, Noting, Unloading
I want to encourage you to carry some kind of paper and writing instrument around with you this week, no matter where you are. Even use your phone to make notes.
Your unconscious Self is gong to be communicating with you. And it won't do it necessarily when you prompt it. So you have to be ready. And it's SUPER IMPORTANT that you write anything that pops into your mind outside of what you're doing at any given moment.
Any experience or event from your life, a feeling that washes over you unexpectedly, a situation that arises that brings up intense feelings, noticing some object out of the blue, and sensory responses in your body. Whatever shows up, WRITE IT!
You want to be the unbiased, unfiltered recorder of your inner experience. The more you do this, the more the content I provide will have a connection point within you.
This is also a great practice to get into for your everyday life. Keeping your mind, heart and ears open for the unconscious self is sure to bring a ton more information and help in going about your choice-making in life.
