Knowing What You Know Part I - Unveiling the Truth

Personal discovery is one of the best things that a person can experience in life. It's such an empowering experience. I like to think of myself as an archaeologist of a sort, because in the process of digging deep, what I find is truly amazing. The more I discover that is ancient and no longer usable, the stronger my knowing and my connection to the Universe. And as I refine this practice of my own excavation, it also becomes a gift to share with others through the Alchemy process I've created known as Life Navigation.

I have named this excavation process, this archaeological journey of our lives, "Knowing What You Know." It may sound like a riddle, but it really isn't.

Here's the riddle: "What's big and scary and nameless and stands in the way of dreams?"

The answer? Old patterns. Old beliefs. Old programs. The stuff that perhaps finally deserves a decent buriel.

Sometimes what we find in the sands of time are pretty ridiculous. "Oh my! What's that doing there?!" I exclaim as I dust off a prize specimen of a memory. "Uncle Harry told Aunt Harriet at Thanksgiving in 1960 that money doesn't grow on trees! I've been believing that ever since?" (50 years ago....). Get my drift?

You never know what's hanging in that closet in your noggin. Chances are if it dates back to childhood, it may not fit with what you are trying to create now. It's like those indestructable plaid school uniforms you may have had to wear in grade school... would you be caught in them right now? Probably not...

So what do you do? The answer lies deep in our subconscious. "I can't," "I shouldn't," "I don't know how," "I can never," are all signals that something from our past is coloring our future.

Sometimes we don't even know that this stuff is hanging around because it's been such a big part of our life for so long, it's become a physical part of us , a part we can't imagine being without. This old stuff can keep us from practicing what we know - or in other words we don't "know" what we know - because it's constantly running the show. We just know that we are having a heck of a time getting from Point A to Point B, no matter what we do, no matter how many self-help books we've read, how many life coaching sessions we've had, no matter how many classes we've taken.

I'll tell you a secret. I've been right there. I experienced severe childhood trauma between the ages of 5 and 13. And even though I was a highly aware individual, that awareness simply could not overcome all the old beliefs I formed as a result of the experiences I had. For one thing, I didn't know how to step outside of myself to see them. Not only that, but I went on to recreate a lot of really painful experiences over and over again because the pattern was so ingrained - it was all I knew. If any of you remember the movie "What the Bleep," there's a part where they talk about our neuropathways and how they become "grooved" from repeated experiences. It's the truth. Somehow you just have to choose something different. It took me over ten years to work through everything. I wouldn't wish that journey on anyone. The cool thing is that from my experience I found a way that is easier, gentler and much, much faster. So others don't have to do it the other way.

This year, 2010, is the deciding year for many of us. We thought last year was intense - hah! Most of us have felt it already. Some are in seriously deep physical or emotional turmoil. For many, this is the year to "get it" (or get rid of it!) and rock and roll! The world probably doesn't need another self-help course. What it could use are serious Quantum tools to navigate the 2010 energy. One of my favorite quotes is by Elizabeth Fayt, author of the book, Prepaving. She says, "Change none of my experiences. Change me."

With that said, I'm excited to introduce the concept of "Knowing What You Know." This is a 6-week Quantum teleconversation that shows you how to "step outside of yourself" to identify and release old patterns and beliefs through cutting edge tools and processes that you will learn and practice every day. It works through integrity, responsibility, diligence, total self-honesty, and practice, practice, practice. Conversationalists WILL move forward. Rapidly. I am certain of it.

The conversation starts Wednesday, March 31. In the Mayan calendar, it is "Seed" - a day for planting. What better way to start a brand new life? Stay tuned for more info or visit www.paradigmalchemy.com/workshops.htm
