It Is Possible to Release Negative Patterns and Activate Your Potential 3/30/2008 8:12:18 AM
Over the years that I have coached and taught, I have searched for healing modalities that would complement my work with the wisdom of the Enneagram. My intuition directed me to find a healing process that would allow historic beahvioral, thinking and emotional patterns identified through the Enneagram to be more easily released.
I was thrilled to meet Dr. Vicky Cruz, D.C., an amazing holistic chiropractor who introduced me to her work with a powerful mind-body technique called NET (Neuro Emotional Technique). This technique non-dramatically and rapidly releases deeply held emotional patterns held in the body. NET, developed by a brilliant chiropractor/educator named Dr. Scott Walker, has been and continues to be well-researched for its efficacy. I was so taken by the impact of NET work on myself, that I decided to study it and incorporate it in my coaching practice.
Simultaneously, Dr. Cruz learned about the Enneagram. In the meantime, she helped people release emotional patterns and create greater levels of physical as well as emotional health,using NET; and my spiritually-based coaching supported individuals in releasing old limitations to connecting with their higher nature using the Enneagram. As she and I compared notes, we found that we were working on very similar client, and for her, patient, dynamics from two different perspectives. The big AHA came as we asked the question--what if we brought these two powerful bodies of work together in a retreat setting? What kinds of results would we get when working in a group?
So, we held a retreat entitled, "Release Pesky Patterns and Activate Your Potential--A Healing Retreat for Women." (www.lifewisecoaching.com/release-pesky-patterns/ ). We knew from the outset that the retreat would offer healing, enormous support, the building of a community of women, and new ways for participants to know themselves.
What we couldn't predict was the enormous synergy created by integrating the specific knowlege, self-observation and healing practices associated with the Enneagram with the power of the NET process to laser in on deeply held emotional patterns. All agreed that in just 4 days, held in an environment of deep holding and support, each participant experienced profound shifts and left the retreat much lighter.
Over the last 18 months, the group of women has maintained contact, and for those living close together, there have been regular dinners and brunches together. Many of the changes from the retreat have catapulted participants into new forms of work, and other significant life changes.
Because of our busy teaching schedules and practices, we are only able to hold this retreat on an occasional basis. There is only one scheduled for all of 2008, and will be held May 1-4 in Burlingame, California. We limit the retreat to just 12 women to maximize the individual support and personalized approach to our time together.
