SoulCollage® – Committee Suit – Inner Goddess Queen

InnerGoddessQueenI am the Goddess Queen of my world, born to rule it as I see fit
I am the daughter of Kings and Queens and the daughter of the Great Spirit
I proclaim my sovereignty over my life, my world and my destiny

I know my worth and I claim it
I know what I want and I claim it
I get what I want, for I am deserving of all good things
I stand firmly in my birthright
Nothing shall be denied me

I am a seer
I soar on wings of gold, scouting ahead, taking the high view
My way is clear
My intuition is keen
I see through all deception and know what is true

I am a warrior
I am wise, bold, confident and courageous
I act decisively and make wise decisions
I do not tolerate people or circumstances that do not honor my value
My personal power is plain to see

I am a goddess
I am a beautiful, sensual being
My body is a temple of both pleasure and power
My heart is a treasure I give openly to whom I choose and keep safe from those who would abuse it

I am a queen
Riches of every kind flow to me constantly and easily
I am adorned in gold and jewels, but my true value shines from within
I am of immense and unique value

With extreme gratitude to Sandi Neilson and her powerful process for releasing limiting beliefs and replacing them with new, empowering beliefs. This Goddess/Queen quite literally stepped “out of the closet” with me in our session together this past Tuesday.

The Voices Inside Your Head

I love the new Disney Pixar film, Inside Out!

I went to see this last week as a “field trip” with a client. We both loved it and it sparked some great conversation afterward.

Through the ups and downs of 11-year-old Riley’s life, we see the inner workings of emotions, subpersonalities, dominant and disowned selves. This is at the core of the Creative Journal Expressive Arts (CJEA) methods I use in my coaching practice. The animated scenes depicting the inner workings of the brain and emotional processing were very well portrayed and, if not 100% scientifically accurate, at the very least created a fabulous visual and metaphorical depiction.

During the course of the film, through Riley’s experience, we see how our “islands of personality”, dominant emotions/selves and disowned emotions/selves interact and respond to the situations in our lives. We also see how ultimately flexible these patterns are and how they shift over time.

Without spoiling the film if you haven’t seen it, my favorite thing about it was how the characters eventually come to understand that all of the emotions are equally valuable and necessary to full experience and wholeness. That is at the heart of the work I do.

This film is really well done. I give it a big thumbs up. I’ll be buying a copy when it’s available on DVD – it will be a great addition to my CJEA-related library.

Now, where’s the popcorn?
