Aspects of life | Chances to Change | Creating Flow in your Life

Love is not ruled by your will or what you do, maybe you often fear what love may say to you! Remember that “you” always have an intimate partner at your side!

Love is like water; stored in clouds it has a huge overview, a perspective where it can see everything from a distance. When the cloud empties itself on the fields, the water deeply engages with nature. The water becomes a physical sensation, water can be a powerful cleansing and very nourishing, and it can be a destroying force. Water always somewhere somehow returns to its perspective high up in the sky.

Love is such an amazing fascinating creative force in our lives, are you ready to be surprised?

Love is not the opposite of fear.
Love seduces and will never allow itself to be seduced.
Love embraces contradictions and thrives through conflicts.
Love is always different
Love is a natural human need
Love is an act of faith and there is no guarantee for exchange.
Love is ongoing expressed from Nature towards us.

1. Love is not the opposite of fear.

Fear can cause us to withdraw from love and it is an error to say that we can choose between love and fear. Voices of fear block your capacity to trust and your ability to heal. We can dance with love and experience fear at the same time. Fear is part of your personality. Love is a cosmic creative force.

2. Love cannot be seduced

We often try to seduce love by submission, power, beauty, wealth, tears or smiles. You cannot seduce love. True love seduces and will never allow itself to be seduced. True love seduces through its magnificence and high vibration, you fall in love with love!

3. Love embraces contradictions and conflicts

Love grows with contradictions and thrives through conflicts. Love transforms and heals and can end up destroying you, because your personality experiences love as a destructive force.

4. Love is always different

Each meeting with love is different. You always start anew. The people who left you do not take the sun with them although that is often how it feels. With every person leaving you, comes a hidden hope for a new possibility to express love.

5. Love is a natural human need

You love because you need to love. Needs are normal and part of your human condition. You can play with the strategies you apply to get this need for love met.

6. Love is an act of faith

Opening the door for love is an act of faith and there is no guarantee for exchange.

You don’t know how long love will stay or if your love will be returned.

7. Love is expressed through Nature

Nature is a manifestation of the Love of Source or God or whatever name you wish to give that which is bigger than you are. Nature continues to love you, no matter how you treat Nature.

CONCLUSION

Love creates and destroys, cleanses and drowns you. Love is a word that only gets meaning when somebody arrives to give it meaning. Love is only a word until you let yourself be possessed by its untamed mysterious force.

The invitation is to keep your heart wide open. When you go home, you find out that someone has been waiting for you, looking for the same thing you were looking for and experiencing the same anxieties and longings.

The one who has been waiting for you is your physical body. This amazing fascinating partner accompanies you in your exquisite experience of life on Earth.

The most important fact is that your physical body is part of nature and by this loves you unconditionally, pure and with great force.

I received my inspiration for this article through reading a chapter in Paulo Coelho’s book Manuscript found in Accra.

You can read more of this exquisite relationship between you and your physical body in my book Becoming What is Changing: Exposition.

Aspects of life

How can we inspire our unique evolutionary purpose?

October 23, 2015October 29, 2015 Veerle de Bock

An inner listening environment offers the voices of judgement, cynicism and fears a safe space to relax and reconnect to their original purpose in our life.

How can we invite our personality to inspire for the highest evolutionary purpose for our soul and physical body?

Our personality is our magic tool to learn to maximally experience live as a soul partnering with a physical body.

And it is quite an endeavour:

Voices of judgement tend to block our ability to change our images and beliefs.
Voices of cynicism destroy our natural empathy and our ability to look through the eyes of the other.
Voices of fear make it hard for us to let go of our habitual patterns to react to what is happening to us and around us.
The invitation is to create a listening environment for the frightened parts of our personality.

Voices of judgment

The voices of judgment continuously express judgment towards ourselves and others. They reinforce the beliefs and images we have of the world, ourselves, and others.

Examples of those voices are:

“You are not okay as you are!”

“You do not belong!”

“You make a fool of yourself!”

These voices affect our ability to open our reason. Opening our reason means to create space in our brain for our marvellous ideas and concepts, give space to our dreams for our life. The act of opening our reason makes that we allow a creative flow to move through us in connection with ourselves and others. This act creates the possibility of a sacred listening environment.

Voices of cynicism

The voices of cynicism make us feel ashamed of who and how we are in the world. They trouble our sense of being responsible and assimilate what happens to us and around us.

They can sound like:

“You don’t assume you can open your heart without the risk to be hurt!”

“The world is not a safe place and never will be, this world is not for softies!”

“Stop trying to be so kind and gentle!”

“Survival of the fittest!”

These voices point to our wounding, our pain bodies and stories. They convince us that our natural needs to be seen, to be safe, to be recognized, to be appreciated are endangered and that we have to get into competition with others, close our emotion and stop trying to look at the world through the eyes of the other. They prevent an easy gratification of our natural human needs.

Voices of fear

The voices of fear pretend to protect us from exposing ourselves into the world, from taking the risk to be abandoned, annihilated, rejected, betrayed, humiliated.

Those voices can sound like:

“You will be abandoned!”

“You will be rejected when you keep on showing so much vulnerability!”

“People will betray you and you will have asked for it!”

“I have said you, you’d better annihilate yourself before somebody else does it!”

Our will tends to rigidify around the patterns that create safety, control and power over others. We are scared to align our will with a higher will, with something that is much bigger than we are.

The frightened parts of our personality

We create different parts in our personality during our childhood. Those parts originate as a result of what happens to us and around us in our childhood.

The different parts of our personality arrange themselves and express themselves as voices of fear, judgement and cynicism and they affect our states of being, which are reason, emotion and will.

The key is to understand our unique make-up and listen to the voices without acting upon them.

The invitation is to create a safe listening space!

When we listen wholeheartedly to a concern, the solution that is also present within us, will easily surface from underneath.

CONCLUSION

These voices of judgment, cynicism and fear limit the expression of our wholeness. They block our ability to be responsible and choose for self-organization. They compromise our deep listening into the evolutionary purpose of ourselves, our groups and the planet.

And yet each of the voices is a doorway.

We can access these doorways through bringing our attention to our breath and by pausing. Offer the frightened parts of our personality that express themselves through these voices a safe listening space.

Through this listening space we allow those frightened parts to embark on a journey inside of ourselves. It is a journey those frightened parts of us need to do by themselves. The bigger Self is not invited on this journey. The bigger Self though stays present and waits patiently for this frightened part to find its own solution when time is ready.

Bringing our attention to our personality and all its frightened parts is how we become what is changing. It affects mutually our soul and our physical body and will lead to the evolutionary purpose for both our soul and our physical body.

An elaborate guide on this mysterious journey that is our life you can find in my book: Becoming What is Changing: Exposition.

I am always looking forward to your comments

Warm regards

Our Physical Bodies: Complex, Evolving and Living Systems!

September 26, 2015September 27, 2015 Veerle de Bock

Self-organization, wholeness and evolutionary purpose are embedded in our physical bodies and the resources to creatively express anew organizations and systems.

Our world news powerfully reveals the ecological, social and spiritual divides. These divides represent the separation between self and our planet, self and other and self and self.

Consider the possibility to turn the camera around from what is happening outside of us to our physical body and be open to its amazing potential and its offerings.

Our physical body is not a machine; it is a complex, intelligent living system.
A cell has a high level of self-organization in order to deal with what is happening to her and around her.
A cell strives for inner wholeness and a deep connection and love with all the cells around her.
A cell continuously listens to the calling of the living system from which she is a part.

Our physical body is an intelligent being.

Our physical body changes without us being able to affect that, our physical body is an intelligence of its own right and will change according to this intelligent design. Our physical body is not a machine like accepted in the Newtonian view. Fifty trillion individual cells define our physical body. They organize themselves as a complex, participating, interconnected, interdependent and continuously changing and evolving system. They mirror us constantly the structures and processes of self-organization, wholeness, and evolutionary process which define a Teal Organization as described by Frederic Laloux in his extra-ordinary book: Reinventing Organizatons.

Our mind/personality often is a disturbing force in this fascinating eco-system.

Structures and processes reflecting self-organization.

There are to many to highlight them all, let us focus on the nucleus and the cell membrane.The nucleus of the cell is not hierarchical more important than any other part of the cell. In the interplay with the rest of the cell, a protein switch activates specific areas of our DNA when that is of service for the highest good of all.

There is no so-called dominator hierarchy and at the same time there are many natural hierarchies with organs as collections of cells that are very skilled in a specific area like renal function or endocrine function. Translated to an organization, we can state that a cell can take on a specific role through which parts of her DNA she activates and she can switch roles when that is appropriate, she is not defined by her role.

The cell membrane is how the cell engages with its environment. The cell membrane is the boundary with other cells, with the outside world and the inside world, you could state with all that happens to and around the cell affects the cell membrane.

This fluid structure of cholesterol, phospholipids and proteins enables the emerging of a practice of facilitating welcoming all that is happening to be part of the self-organizing processes within an individual cell and the organism of cells. You can compare a cell membrane at the level of an organization with a structure that enables all the information to be available for everyone. There is a huge level of transparency.

A cell strives for inner wholeness.

The physical body has no duality, nothing is labelled as good or bad. Any process or issue adds to the whole, to the value of this intelligent complex being. It is at the level of the mind/personality that the duality happens.

The fact that the cell has no duality, does not mean that nothing happens, the cell needs a huge conflict management so to speak in order to survive all that is happening to her and around her.

In this huge ongoing change and evolution, a cell makes herself ready for dying when she is ready with her life task, she does not cling to life. She celebrates what she has achieved and dissolves; her basic building blocks serve the emerging of new cells.

This is an invitation for an organization to regularly see which parts of the whole have accomplished their task, celebrate those parts and allow them to dissolve or let them go.

How evolutionary purpose is inherent.

Ongoing cleaning, renewing, moving, a cell never stays the same. A special example are the microtubules, they are continuously reshaping, breaking down and building up. Microtubules are the internal communication system of a cell. They are the high-speed technology for exchange of information.

An individual cell continuously listens to the calling of the living system, which is the physical body. She tunes into the creative impulse and potential independent from what she wants as an individual cell. This reminds us to see our organizations as living entities with their own soul and life force. Ask ourselves the question if we listen hard enough to their purposes?

CONCLUSION

We only need to redirect the camera from regarding the outside world to facing our physical body. Cellular awareness is the doorway to access a fascinating amount of self-organization, wholeness and evolutionary purpose.

This article only gives a glimpse of all that is continuously unfolding and happening deep within our physical bodies. Deep within our cells is the access point to the next stage of evolution to how we can creatively express anew that, which has always been there and will always be.

Cellular awareness connects us with that which is healthy, whole and connected. It is a knowing that precludes our wounding and the many overlays to our perception of self. It is accessing the realization within our cells that we are love!

In my book Becoming What is Changing: Exposition you are invited to continue this journey of turning the camera from what happens outside of you to what happens within you.

Easy User’s directions for this Magical Tool: Our Personality!

September 16, 2015 Veerle de Bock

We reveal the masterpiece of ourselves, by allowing our “observer self” to occupy the driver’s seat and by giving permission to all that happens to affect us.

Imagine! Your personality with all its flaws actually is the perfect tool for you to grow and fulfil your soul’s purpose without even figuring out what that purpose is.

It is a very sophisticated tool and like any other such complex tool it needs a manual, it needs user’s directions.

Our personality is an energy field.
The different structures in the field are our character styles.
We take the drivers seat through our “observer self”!
We grow through giving a great deal of permission.

Our personality is an energy field.

We are a spiritual being, a soul incarnating with an energy consciousness. Our soul partners with a physical body with an energy consciousness of its own and with energy consciousness from our ancestors.

This energy consciousness is an energy field that surrounds and penetrates the physical body. It represents the different vibrations of ideas, thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs, images, concepts. In fact this is the whole of our personality.

The different structures in the field are our character styles.

Whatever happens to us and around us will affect our thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs, images, concepts and thus our energy field. At different age frames of our childhood we create structures in our energy field.

These become character styles, which each have a specific set of beliefs, emotions, visions, concepts, feelings, thoughts.

This is an example. A rigid character style is a part of us that strives to be perfect. It originates between the age of 2 and 6 depending on what happens to us and around us in our family of origin. The energy constellation reveals itself as a very tight form that is perfectly fitting around and into our physical body, there are no irregularities, no weak areas. It is our belief that we have to be perfect to be accepted. Our vision is a world with a huge level of perfection, order, clarity.

In our personality we have a mix of different character styles and how we are in the world depends on which of our character styles is in charge.

We take the drivers seat through our “observer Self”!

This is a story about my inner family of character styles. I am awake during the night and an ongoing stream of thoughts moves through me. I feel overwhelmed and there seems no way out. It is chaos, several of my character styles are active on my stage. Suddenly when I can obtain the drivers seat with my “observer self”, I notice how thoughts, ideas, concepts, feelings visions and beliefs of different parts of me are all present and intermingled. Only with my “observer self” in de drivers seat can I create a safe space for all of them, hold them with love and acceptance and allow them to reveal their unique gifts.

Our “observer self” is a part of our personality, which is not attached to any character style, it is neutral. An easy way to access our “observer self” is by bringing our attention to our heart and so to speak open our heart.

We grow through giving a great deal of permission.

Once we have an “observer self” in the driver’s seat we are ready for another user’s direction. This user’s direction is about giving permission for whatever happens to us “and” around us to teach us, trigger us, touch us, affect us, move us.

This interplay with what is actually happening in the world through relationships, events, exchanges is the key feature for revealing this masterpiece which we are!

CONCLUSION

Our character styles can create huge rollercoasters in our lives, bringing happiness and pain, conflict and resolution, love and hate, fear and courage. Although they often seem to lead a life of their own and no way to control them, these user’s directions offer us another option.

Our “observer self” sources the space with loving kindness, patience and clarity for our character styles to reveal their magic.

We know we are affecting the world through our energy field or personality. We understand we express ourselves through our projects, relationships and groups.

In my book Becoming What is Changing: Exposition you can learn more about this magical tool of our personality and our fascinating character styles.

The fascinating gift of biological relationships

August 30, 2015August 30, 2015 Veerle de Bock

This amazing mix of spiritual and biological relationships is astonishing and is a huge opportunity to grow and transform, to understand yourself and others.

We are on a family vacation, my husband and me and our four adults children. What an amazing adventure and such a great gift to see each other, to observe, to witness, to be curious.

Here are some amazing perspectives

Our biological and spiritual relationships affect each other.
Life is a stage where all of us take different roles.
We can sit on the first row and observe our patterns.

Biological and spiritual relationships

We choose our family relationships, we incarnate together with a bunch of souls with whom we made arrangements long before we actually live our lives in lesser or higher degrees of harmony. The truth is that harmonious relationships are not a “must” in order for us to grow and transform. In a family there are often as many spiritual relationships as there are biological ones. We know from a previous article how our ancestors matter, they also matter spiritually!

Life is a stage

We all take up different roles in the scenery of life. Life is a stage, the décor is what is happening around us and to us, we can choose in each moment which role we take on and so can everybody else around us.

You can create for each other new stages, where you try out different roles, where you allow different parts of your personality to be on stage. A real good agreement is not to take anything personal. And to understand that whatever touches you, hurts you, triggers you, has to do with you and what it does with the other is not really your business.

Observe your patterns

It is an ideal opportunity to be at the first rows of the stage where you play out your patterns and well-known acts. You can decide if they still suit you or not. These patterns originated for a big deal in your childhood. Family constellations is an approach developed by Bert Hellinger and involves family representation through the use of others in order to reveal the hidden dynamics in a family so that they can be healed.

If you literally spend time again in the same constellation, if feels as if you are in a family constellation, the difference is that everybody plays his own role.

A story of our family vacation

We are returning to our cottage by bike after spending the day at the beach. It seems to take us much longer than expected. Everybody enjoyed the biking, except for my eldest daughter. She got upset and wondered if we were following the right direction. Her dad laughed and invited her to let her be surprised. I observed and learned a lot about myself, my daughter’s behaviour is very familiar to me. How do I let go of control and simply enjoy the moment?

CONCLUSION

Our family constellation, the fascinating mix of biological and spiritual relationships is awesome. We can gain insight in the dynamics with our mother and father, with our siblings.

As parents our children each mirror us parts of us. We are offered wonderful lessons about ourselves, simply by witnessing them and their way of being. Some aspects we can obviously recognize, others are more difficult for us to own.

We could agree to decide to stop trying to change the other, fix the other, analyse the other, care-take or merge with the other. See our children as adults and amazing fascinating spiritual beings. They might have been our teachers, mother, father, king, queen in a previous life.

See our parents as the bigger spiritual beings, which they are, applaud their accomplishments and accept their struggles.

HOW DO YOUR ANCESTORS AFFECT YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCES?

August 11, 2015 Veerle de Bock

HOW DO YOUR ANCESTORS AFFECT YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCES?

Your physical body originates from an egg cell and a sperm cell that both have an energy consciousness. This is the blueprint of your mother and your father.

Did somebody ever say to you that you really are like your mother or your father?

My husband did recently and I got very upset.

So I began an inquiry, I really wanted to find out!

This article shares the story of how you and I make decisions in our physical body, how each of our cells creates an electromagnetic field, how we receive a biological legacy from our parents. This legacy is different from our genes.

We start our life on earth with a blueprint we inherited!

Our magical cell membranes!
What is energy consciousness?
An egg cell and a sperm cell
Not a blank canvas

Our magical cell membranes

Bruce Lipton, a well-known cellular biologist, says our genes are not defining our lives. He explains our cell membranes do.

The cell membrane continuously decides what can enter the cell, which reaction the cell will have, if something leaves the cell. A cell membrane decides about growth, birth, death, defence, connection.

Imagine! Our physical body is an organism composed by fifty trillion cells, where self-organization is governed by the cell membranes of each individual cell!

Our DNA lays dormant in the nucleus of the cell and can only become active if specific proteins switch it on. Those proteins are governed by the cell membrane. The environment of the cell membrane and the information that reaches the cell membrane is what is prompting the decisions we make in our physical body.

Energy consciousness

Each of our cells produces electricity, some of our cells like the cells of the nervous system and the heart produce more electricity than other cells in our body. This electricity creates an electromagnetic field using the physical body as a magnet.

This energy field extends out of the physical body and penetrates each cell. Which results in the fact that each of our cells is surrounded and penetrated by energy consciousness.

This energy consciousness is the medium to quickly transport information through our physical body from one cell to another, from one area of the body to another area, within organs, systems and tissues. Thoughts, emotions, ideas, feelings, concepts, images, beliefs are all energy vibrations in this energy consciousness.

All of this is extensively and exquisitely described in my book: Becoming What Is Changing: Exposition.

An egg cell and a sperm cell

If every cell has an energy consciousness so have the egg cell and the sperm cell that are the basic building blocks of our physical body. This energy consciousness that holds the blueprint of the thoughts, concepts, images, beliefs, feelings, emotions of respectively your mother and your father.

When the egg cell and the sperm cell merge those blueprints merge as well and they will assist the cell membranes of the new cells how to make decisions. Remember, the cell membranes decide how to grow and which parts of the DNA to switch on or switch off.

And stretch a bit further, your parents also got their primary egg cell and sperm cell from their mother and father. So this energy consciousness is still incorporated into the cells you got and so is the energy consciousness of your grandparents, and their parents and so on and on and on….

A blank canvas

Some schools say a newborn baby is a blank canvas and subject to the environment. It is not, our physical body already comes into existence with a great deal of energy consciousness that holds information from your ancestors and most of all from your mother and father.

This energy consciousness can switch on certain areas of your genes and can leave other areas dormant. This energy consciousness will affect and be affected by what is happening to us and around us in the environment.

CONCLUSION

It is possible for our ancestors to control a great deal of our lives!

They affect our life experiences through the energy consciousness that surrounds and impregnates our primary building blocks, the egg cell and the sperm cell of our parents.

This energy consciousness offers us a territory to play with, a set of threads and the basic structure for the unique tapestry of our lives.

Our cell membranes create and sustain the energy that surrounds each cell and they are affected in return by this energy consciousness.

When you incarnate on earth, your soul starts to dance this intimate exchange with your body and their energy consciousness mingles.

So how can we occupy the driver’s seat in our life?

Do you have any idea? I would love if you share them in the comment box.

There is much more to discover in future articles about our personality and this fabulous dance of our soul with our physical body.

SEVEN FASCINATING PERSPECTIVES OF YOUR POTENTIAL

July 28, 2015 Veerle de Bock

SEVEN FASCINATING PERSPECTIVES OF YOUR POTENTIAL

How can you access your unique miraculous potential without defining and containing it? Listen deeply within and connect with the DNA in the cells of your amazing physical body.

Have you ever imagined that you have a potential that is hidden in the nucleus of each of your fifty trillion cells.

In this article you will find out seven astonishing statements about your potential.

Your potential is hidden in your DNA, it is not your DNA!
The normal state of your DNA and your potential is dormant!
Intelligence, strength, courage and integrity are beautiful values, they are not your potential!
Any life experience can offer you an entry to your potential!
When somebody really listens to you, you access your potential.
You can cultivate those circumstances that gave you access to your potential.
Your potential is joy, aliveness and love.

Your potential is hidden in your DNA, it is not your DNA!

You know that each of your cells has a nucleus that contains DNA. You received that DNA from the egg cell and the sperm cell that merged in order to start the creation of a new human being.

Your potential is much more then the inherited sequences of nucleotide bases which you got from your parents. Within the DNA helix quantum processes are happening all the time that allow an ongoing sourcing from the energy field of the Universe. It is this direct connection with the unlimited resources in the Universe that is your true potential.

The normal state of your DNA and your potential is dormant!

The DNA in our cells is most of the time in a dormant state, like a sleeping beauty, highly protected by a coat of proteins. This protein coat needs to be switched on in order for the unwinding of the DNA helix to happen and the access to source to unfold.

Intelligence, strength, courage and integrity are beautiful values, they are not your potential!

Those are important features of your personality. Our personality is the energy field that is created in the dance of your soul with your physical body. It is the product of the energy consciousness of your soul, the energy field created through your physical body and the energy consciousness of your ancestors. It is your playground in this life. You can read more about this in my book Becoming what is Changing: Exposition. Intelligence, strength, courage and integrity are vibrations in your personality and will help you access your potential. In return your potential will assist you to grow these specific features in your personality.

Any life experience can offer you an entry to your potential!

Any life experience can become an entry to own our potential. Some of us know or experienced how difficult experiences or dis-eases offer a doorway to aspects we did not know we had. In fact any life experience gives you an opportunity to go inward, experience what is happening to you and deeply connect with your cells.

When somebody really listens to you, you can access your potential.

When somebody really listens to you, without interrupting you, without infantilizing you, allowing you to experience all of you in the moment, you access your potential. It is as simple as that.

Cultivate those circumstances that gave you access to your potential.

If you once found the gateway into your own cells, you can establish a highway so to speak. You strengthen the networks between the nervous cells and create a connection with source deep within you.

Cultivating circumstances that help you to connect to your potential is also dare to ask your friends and intimate relationships to really listen to you as pointed out in the previous statement!

Your potential is joy, aliveness and love.

Your potential is dynamic, it is an experience, it creates aliveness, love and bliss. If it is not, it is not your potential!

CONCLUSION

What is our potential?

We cannot define our potential, it is everywhere and nowhere, it is all that is manifested and still waiting to be manifested. Our potential is miraculous and astonishing, it weaves with the tapestry of the unknown.

Our potential encompasses all the possibilities to shape shift our DNA and express the highest possible version of ourselves in the physical reality.

You recognize your potential when your choices

create “joy, aliveness, love and ease”, it is as simple as that!

I look forward to hear your comments and questions.

With love and appreciation

DO YOU ALLOW OTHERS TO BABYSIT YOUR POTENTIAL? I DO!

July 22, 2015 Veerle de Bock

DO YOU ALLOW OTHERS TO BABYSIT YOUR POTENTIAL? I DO!

Imagine your potential to be like a sleeping beauty protected by thorns and waiting for the prince to save her. Who is this prince? Is it an aspect of you?

Do we all have a dormant potential?

Dreams can offer us information that is not easily accessible. It opens us up for realities that might be obvious for others though not for us.

Sharing my latest dream

I entered a building and found two young children a boy and a girl, at first I did not notice though suddenly I realized they were kept hostage. There was also a man kept hostage, who looked like someone I know though have not seen for several years.

This man has always been a reformer, someone who wanted to make the circumstances better for others. There was something special, this man in my dream did not seem to feel kept hostage, he had something he wanted to do, to perform.

One of the guardians got very upset by seeing me there, he threatened me and ordered another man to remove me from the building.

Waking up and re-entering the same dream

I woke up still completely in this dream. I was wondering if it had to be considered a nightmare or simply a special dream.

I also wondered how to move on. I know how to re-enter my dreams.

As I got to sleep again, I was back in my dream and saw me with the children, telling them: “Always remember, that I love you dearly.”

I could physically perceive the threat of the guardians.

Making sense of the content

I woke up again, it was still night, I already understood how images of two films I partly watched on Thursday and Friday evening got mixed with my dream, like the children and the being kept hostage.

In the morning I realized that the dream had to do with how I still allow my potential to be babysit by others. So amazing and how that has to do with a young female and male part inside of me and an older male aspect of me.

This older male part is particularly interesting, as it feels like this part has no feeling of being kept hostage. Like a narcissus inside of me, that only wants to perform and be seen and will do that even if the circumstances are harsh and limited.

I am astonished that I so clearly still allow aspects of me, of my potential to be babysit by others.

CONCLUSION

Does this story resonate with you?

There are many ways in which we can interpret our dreams. The most important fact is that it makes sense to you, the dreamer. I often see the different persons in my dream as aspects of myself.

Is this metaphor of our potential being a sleeping beauty protected by thorns true? And if yes, are we the prince that comes and saves our potential?

As the prince we need to make the choice to sit at the drivers seat of our own life.

I see how there are still many questions.

How can we reach our full potential?

How we make other choices in our life?

How can we occupy the driver’s seat?

Please keep on reading these blogs, as more beautiful insights on our potential will follow. You can make it easy by subscribing.

A complete chapter about our amazing fascinating multidimensional potential is available in my book Becoming What is Changing: Exposition.

It is always a pleasure to receive your comments or insights.

Aspects of life

Practice don’t Preach Theory U in 7 Breaths! 4th Breath.

April 15, 2015April 15, 2015 Veerle de Bock

PRACTICE DON’T PREACH THEORY U IN 7 BREATHS! 4th BREATH.

We meet and live the “groan zone” in our Guest House, an inevitable step to allow the “letting-go” of what no longer serves us and arrive at the bottom of the U.

What is the “groan zone”? Are you able to recognize the groan zones in your life?

The “groan zone” is a term introduced for the first time by Sam Kaner and his colleagues in 1998. They define the “groan zone” as a natural period of confusion arising in a meeting when difficult issues emerge whilst in the process of what they call participatory decision-making.

We define “groan zone” as a phase where we can experience stuckness, resistance, blocked energy, confusion. We often have a strong desire to bypass and come to premature conclusions and shift to the right side of the U.

As we attempt to breathe life into Theory U and emphasize its purpose to be a Way of Being – reconnecting to the more authentic and higher aspects of ourselves – we need awareness of the “groan zone”.

You are reading the fifth article in a series of nine. The series aims to assist you to dance Theory U. The use of “breaths” is a metaphor for the components of the Life Pulse. The Life Pulse is a cosmic principle governing all of life in the Universe. The Life Pulse consists of sequential phases of contraction, stasis, expansion, stasis.

The first article invites you into our Guest House and creates a safe container. The second article shape-shifts “downloading” into a tool to gain more of Self. A listening space arises. The third article breathes life into the opening of our State of Being reason. The more of Self that is available establishes the “observing” and “curious asking” quality. The process continues with the opening of our State of Being emotion in the fourth article and we add “experiencing” to our toolbox. We experience in our physical body what we do with what happens to us and we sense through the group being. The diagram shows us where we are. This article covers the 4^th of our 7 breaths.

We prepare ourselves to open our will and to learn about the importance of delving deep inside of ourselves. This deep dive is necessary in order to discern and live the “groan zone”. The learning cannot happen through a teaching, it has to unfold through the magic of this fascinating triad of “witnessing, asking, experiencing”.

Overview of the 4^th Breath

The 4^th Breath is, as all the other breaths in our series, a Life Pulse composed of an inward movement of contraction (green on the picture), followed by a moment of stasis (red on the picture and located at the inner edge of the U), gently extending in an outward movement of expansion (blue) and back into stasis (again red and now at the outer edge of the U).

The graphic representation reveals how the “groan zone” occupies and affects this whole breath. Only at the very end of this breath does the “letting-go” happen. We move through the eye of the needle and dive into “presencing”.

The drawing below demonstrates where this Breath is in our dance through Theory U.

Contraction

We move inward, and gently and lovingly prepare ourselves to open our State of Being will.

The symbolic representation gives us an overview of our constellation. Our soul incarnates on Earth by engaging with a body-mind. This body-mind is our house and consists of a physical body, which generates an energy field. This energy field represents our personality and can be divided into three different States of Being: reason (the upper part), emotion (the front part) and will (the back part). To learn more about our fascinating human potential, please read the series of articles on Physics and Reality.

Opening of the State of Being will creates space at the back of our energy field. Chakras are energy vortices in our energy field, they are connected to areas in our physical body where there is a great deal of neural activity. Each chakra has a particular psychological area of interest.

This State of Being, will, is reached by opening the back chakras from the fifth down to the second chakra and then to the first chakra. The back of the fifth chakra stands for how we express ourselves in the world, the back of the fourth chakra holds our capacity for trust, the back of the third chakra is our ability to heal ourselves, the back of the second chakra encompasses our creativity and quantity of Self. The first chakra is the home of our life force.

The step by step opening of our will centres is for me the “groan zone”. It requires courage to be vulnerable and to face our struggles and doubts, confusion and resistance.

The gift of opening our will is the access it gives us to the intelligence of our hands, our power from within, our creativity and our capacity to be undefended.
A detail of the drawing of Dancing Theory U shows our body-mind as an orange circle and our soul as a blue dot, which is moving from the centre of our body-mind to the edge and crosses the edge. A red wave tries to keep the soul movement from happening. This wave reveals the resistance.

As a host you completely participate in the “groan zone”, if you are able to show your vulnerability, you will inevitably meet your own resistance and create abilities to grow and gain more of you and you will be better able to hold space for the uneasiness, the unknown, for the boiling potential, for the uncertainty of your group.

Stasis

The point of stasis is crucial at this moment in our 4^th Breath. This is the moment where you shift the attention from deep within each participant outwards while you are also experiencing the “groan zone” with the group. The participants gather momentum in order to live the “groan zone”. A ritual or a meditation is often very helpful in bringing awareness to this moment.

As a host you are holding a listening space, flavoured with curious asking and experiencing, in an atmosphere of witnessing. Time to introduce this wonderful tool – “witnessing, asking, experiencing” – in more in depth.

The “asking” is a dance between the inner process and the external event that is happening to us or around us. It is a curiosity about what is here now with an opening of our State of Being reason. The asking prompts the “experiencing” of what is happening in the body as we open our State of Being emotion. Once we are “experiencing” the sensations in our body, we are then able to acknowledge where we are through impartially “witnessing” what is happening now. There is no judgment; we simply notice what is happening. We do not do anything; we just allow whatever happens to unfold.

This is the true opening of our State of Being will.

You can read more about this magic triad in the series: Why Everything that Happens Affects Everything.

Expansion

We continue with an outward movement still in the “groan zone”. Most of the participants don’t like it; they experience resistance and stuckness.

We try to speak the “groan zone” into being. It is by exchanging and supporting each other that each participant will be able to really grasp this concept of “groan zone”.

We realize that the resistance is what is preventing us from “letting-go”. The “groan zone” is the phase just before. It is not willing to let go of our patterns, dynamics, habits, images, beliefs. It is not willing to let go of control, let go of pride, let go of words, let go of exerting power over, let go in all possible ways.

And there is such beauty in acknowledging this phase and in giving it enough space within the whole living process of Theory U. It is how we get to know each other and respect each other, by witnessing our struggles.

A practice helpful at this moment is World Café. World Café is a New Space Technology. It is a simple process of bringing people together to talk about things that matter. The groups are anything between 15 and 100. You need a room set up with tables that are covered with paper and can each host an average of 5 people.

People share their views around a burning question and switch tables in order to connect the threads from each table’s discussion. There is always a host at the table who makes sure the conversation stays focused around the burning question. My book Becoming What is Changing: Exposition describes World Café and compares it with several other New Space Technologies.

Here in this expansion of our 4^th Breath and the burning question in our World Café is about our experience of the “groan zone”: How can we discern and allow the “groan zone”? This practice can lead us out of the “groan zone” and into “letting-go”.

Otto Scharmer defines this “letting-go” as a letting go of the ego of our old self. We do indeed let go of limited identification of our ego, we do not let go of our entire ego. Our ego is a major tool for our personal growth and allows us to tend to our State of Being. It is our inner conductor. Our ego is defined by how it identifies itself with a part or several parts of us. I invite us to identify our ego with much more of ourselves than this limited part of us. In its highest form, our ego has the capacity to sense into the field and allow magic to happen.
A detail of the drawing of Dancing Theory U shows a literal letting go, a dissolving of the resistance in fragments. The red wave is fragmented. “Letting-go” of everything that does not serve us any longer.

It feels as if you are going to die, you don’t know how you will move through this threshold, through this eye of the needle, you can only surrender. A participant shared in one of the trainings: “Embrace, recognize, take distance from fear. You have to live it!”.

“Letting-go” is the removal, dissolving of the resistance and surrendering is the moving through the cleared field. This surrendering is our next moment of stasis.

Stasis

In the World Café you invite participants to reflect in silence on the patterns, themes and deeper questions experienced in the small group conversations.

This is a stasis in deep connection with others, with the world, with the surrounding sphere. We are at the outer edge of the U, deep down in the U. We have reached a state of listening outside the world of our preconceived ideas and concepts. Our circle of attention widens and a whole field of possibilities opens, not just one new reality, many realities existing together.

We feel we are connected to and operating from a widening surrounding sphere as Otto Scharmer describes it. Time is slowing down and space seems to open.

Each individual reaches this “presencing” and so do we as a group. The group being connects to a source deep within. We achieve a deeper connectedness then we were able to do so far. A deeper connection arises in this initial phase of “presencing” reaching towards the essence of who we are and what we bring in the world. We achieve a point of communion with the group.

A real 4^th breath experience

We return again as in our previous articles to the real experience of this 4^th Breath in the Guest House Facilitation training in Berlin, in November 2014.

In our training the opening of our State of Being will at the back of our energy field, started at the end of the day with the preparation of our dinner, the eating of our dinner and our night’s sleep.

The activities of daily life are a part of the training and have a space in the experience of the Life Pulse. We are not served our food, we prepare it together and we serve each other.

The idea behind this is to offer participants a more in depth experience of Theory U, of the Life Pulse, of the principles of Guest House Facilitation and an ability to take all of this back home with them.

As a host I experienced something really profound in this training. The teaching at the start of the expansion within this 4^th breath was very difficult, the transmission of the knowledge was awkward and only after the completion of this breath it dawned on me that “of course” you cannot teach anything in the “groan zone”. There is too much confusion and resistance within the participants.

CONCLUSION

This 4^th Breath is most of all the “groan zone” breath. The key feature of this Breath is the awareness of this fascinating triad “witnessing, asking, experiencing”, enabling us to pause and to be with what’s here now.

On our journey through Theory U, at the bottom of the U, lies an inner gate that requires a huge “letting-go”. Literally and metaphorically you need to become empty in order to be able to pass this inner gate.

This inner gate makes it clear that even if you move through the U with a group and even if the group being assists us to move through the journey, it’s an individual act of letting go of everything that is not essential. It is an individual act of opening our reason (=mind), our emotion (=heart) and our will.

It’s up to you do decide if you are ready to let go of how you know things are, should be, have to be into this fascinating field of emerging possibilities of how things could become.

This is new territory, unfamiliar in our society in many ways, yet powerful and fulfilling and needed in order for us to thrive on the waves of changing consciousness and their effects in our world.

Awareness of the Life Pulse is a wonderful tool to assist us to move through the “groan zone”, to allow the “letting-go” and the subsequent surfacing of the spaciousness of “presencing”.

From this deep connection to Source, to our soul’s purpose, and with all of us, we are ready to embark on the 5^th Breath. This 5^th Breath is primarily a residing in “presencing”, in the spaciousness. The key question is if tapping into this real force of “presencing” can bring the new into reality.

You can discover this in our next article.

Aspects of life

Practice don’t Preach Theory U in 7 Breaths! 3rd Breath.

March 21, 2015April 15, 2015 Veerle de Bock

PRACTICE DON’T PREACH THEORY U IN 7 BREATHS! 3^rd BREATH.

We open up our State of Being “emotion” within the safe listening space of Guest House Facilitation, and we effortlessly dive into “experiencing” and “sensing”.

Imagine we are spiritual beings (souls) on a journey to experience life on Earth in a physical body. Our Way of Being is our most important task. Theory U is a framework, a method for profound change and most of all a Way of Being, through which you can connect to the more authentic and higher aspects of yourself.

Today we embark on a learning journey to remember the capacity we have for “experiencing”. We gently open our State of Being emotion and with loving kindness we observe our judgments and connect more deeply with our soul’s purpose.

This article is one of a series of nine articles. The series reveals to you the magic of Guest House Facilitation, how it allows us to dance through Theory U, effortlessly and smoothly, in its precise time and its right space.

The first article facilitates our Guest House and brings awareness to this precious cosmic principle of the Life Pulse. The Life Pulse governs all of life in the Universe and also precisely governs all our processes and organizations.

The second article shape-shifts the “downloading” into a “processing of Self”. The key feature of this 1^st breath is holding a Listening Space.

The third article extensively describes the 2^nd breath. Opening reason facilitates by opening the intelligence of the brain, the “seeing” and “observing”. The key feature is curious asking: we begin to understand what we see.

From the diagram you can see that we have arrived at the 3^rd Breath in the fourth article of this series.

Overview of the 3^rd Breath

The 3^rd Breath is again an inward movement of contraction (green on the following drawing), followed by a moment of stasis (red and at the inner edge of the U), continuing with an outward movement of expansion (blue) and coming to completion in another moment of stasis (again red and now at the outer edge of the U).

In the contraction we open our State of Being emotion in order for the “sensing” and “experiencing” to happen in the expansion. We continue our exploration in more detail.

Contraction

We bring awareness to the inward movement and we prepare to open our State of Being: emotion.

Let’s have a look at the graphic representation of the dance between our soul and our body-mind and how they play with the three different States of Being: reason, emotion and will. They match the mind, heart and will used in the Theory U model. In body-mind we discern the physical body (yellow) and the energy field (blue+orange+green) which it generates. This energy field permeates the physical body and extends out of the body. The energy consciousness of our body-mind is intermingled with the energy consciousness of our soul. In this energy field there are three major States of Being, which are reason (blue) the upper part, emotion (orange) the front part and will (green) the back part. Mind in our vocabulary is the whole of all the States of Being, it is our reason+emotion+will and together they give form to our personality.

By opening emotion we open the front of our energy field. Chakras are vortices of energy in our energy field and they are portals. The chakras mark the areas with high neural activity in our physical body – the plexuses. Emotion is the State of Being related with the front aspects from the fifth to the second chakra.

Each chakra harbours a psychological function. The front aspect of the fifth chakra encompasses assimilating, taking responsibility, and deeply listening. The front aspect of the fourth chakra holds our capacity for love in relationships. The front aspect of the third chakra represents intuition and your ego sense of Self. The front aspect of the second chakra is the quality of Self, the experiencing of Self.

We open the front aspect of these portals or chakras fifth to second, one by one, in order to achieve an open State of Being with regard to emotion.

You can read more about our magnificent potential and the dance between our soul and our body-mind in my book Becoming What is Changing: Exposition.

Contraction is an inward movement, a deep connection within us, an opportunity for introspection and assimilation of what has happened to us and around us in the expansion phase. This inward movement can unfold when we are alone or in relationship. We can perform our daily activities from an inward perspective.

Our energy field can be everything from big and charged to small and weak depending on our personal process with regard to our defences.

At this moment in our Guest House the contraction phase can have the form of profound sharing, from an inward connection. We share from deep inside of ourselves in an ongoing introspection and reflection.

As we continue our dance through Theory U, with our reason and emotion open, we achieve the ability to genuinely observe ourselves and how we tend to project outside of ourselves, judge ourselves and others. We judge when the organization needs to be different, the system needs to be different, our partner needs to be different, our parents should have been different, we have to be different.

A good entrance point is to look at ourselves with compassion and try to find out what our underlying needs are. Which of our needs are unmet and prompt us to judge? The State of Being, emotion, enables us to hold ourselves with a great deal of love. By bathing ourselves in love and compassion, we are able to allow a deeper level of connectedness and can risk letting go of objectification. We objectify as long as we consider ourselves separate from what we observe which can be another being, an organization or a system.

As we complete this contraction, we arrive at the phase of stasis.

Stasis

This stasis is a silence at the inner edge of the U, a place of being deep within our physical body. A moment of stasis in our Life Pulse is a good time to perform a ritual.

We connected with the group being at the start of our U in the 1^st Breath. Often this is a good time to reconnect and to observe the differences in the connection.

We set our intention and commitment by aligning our soul channel. This soul channel is how we incarnate as a soul into this sacred physical body and how our soul starts the dance with our body-mind. It is our soul’s connection deeply grounded and supported through the core of the Earth, and inspired through our unique star in the Sky.

At this point I’ve observed that every participant is more able to notice the relationship with the group being.

The picture illustrates what happens. Each individual is much more connected to the group being: there is a nourishing of the group being and in turn individual beings are nourished by the group being. Each individual has changed the perspective of the soul (the blue dot) from the middle of the body-mind (the orange circle) to the edge of the body-mind. We all are more fully occupying our body-mind, as is the group being.

As we gather momentum for the next wave in stasis and without any agenda, we effortlessly reach a new level of perceiving.

The boundary between the organization, system, other and “us” that we are observing starts to vanish. The organization, system, other was the object of our attention at the start of our journey. We now begin to see how “we” are the organization. A deepening occurs and implies the redirection of attention from the object of our attention (the organization, the system, the other) to the process. This process is the energetic constellation of the group, it is our field, the group being of our workshop, training or gathering.

Stasis is not a non-movement, it is a silence that enables the movement to shift from inward to outward or vice versa. With each moment of stasis our soul and body-mind meet, greet each other, find each other and we connect with the field of endless possibilities deep within or far out in the Universe.

At this moment, in this 3^rd Breath, we have arrived at our next wave of outward movement.

Expansion

“Expansion” is an outward movement towards the other, towards life. We experience life in relationship. Our energy field can be expanded or contracted depending on what is happening to us and around us. The state of our energy field does not define the phase of the Life Pulse.

Whatever happens to us and around us can affect us, trigger our defences, our patterns and dynamics.

As our States of Being reason and emotion are open at this stage of Theory U, we automatically begin to see, sense and feel in our bodies. This is the “Sensing” phase (step 3) in the table below.

CHALLENGE	REACTING	SOLUTION
Step 1: “DOWNLOADING”: viewing the world through our habits of thought, allowing our current reality to surface.	Re-structuring	Step 7: “PERFORMING”: achieve results through actions, embedding the new into the larger context
SUSPENDING	OPEN MIND: Re-designing	EMBODYING
Step 2: “SEEING”: seeing reality with fresh eyes, suspend judgements, the system being observed is separate from those who observe		Step 6: “PROTOTYPING”: explore the future by doing, prototyping, enacting the new by being in dialogue with the Universe
REDIRECTING	OPEN HEART: Re-framing	ENACTING
Step 3: “SENSING”: the attention shifts to the inner way of seeing, from object to process. The boundary between observer and observed collapses.		Step 5: “CRYSTALLIZING”: the attention shifts from the inner vision to exterior action. Crystallising vision and intention, envisioning the new from the future that wants to emerge
LETTING-GO	OPEN WILL: Re-generating	LETTING-COME
	Step 4: “PRESENCING”: Connection to the deepest source

As the host in Guest House Facilitation it is essential to keep your reason open, your emotion open and your will open. This is how you can follow the Life Pulse in the moment within the dynamic of your group.

The expansion is profound. In Guest House Facilitation we apply different practices to allow conversations that matter to effortlessly unfold. In the third article of this series we already touched into one of the New Space Technologies: Dynamic Facilitation. Dynamic Facilitation is a method invented by the genius of Jim Rough and is extensively described in Roza Zubizarreta’ book. Roza is a creative and inspired associate of the DF society, she wrote a useful manual on the principles of Dynamic Facilitation.

Dynamic Facilitation (DF) can be a catalyst in allowing participants to share with an open reason and emotion state of being. Participants engage simultaneously from their brain and their heart.

When something intuitively feels like a major contribution and one that requires a circle checking, I temporarily weaken the DF mode and switch to Circle Practice, a powerful and ancient form of gathering brought back into modern life by Ann Linea and Christina Baldwin. As I switch practices, I continue to take notes and to reflect what is said.

We have a new graphic representation for this step and in Guest House Facilitation this refers to the dance between the soul and body-mind. The energy body of our soul now extends outside of the body-mind boundaries. You see the body-mind as an orange circle and the soul as the blue dots moving out of the safe container of the body-mind.

We move outwards in this expansion and deeply connect with each other. We experience in our body and at the same time the “sensing” happens from the whole field through the group being.

Stasis

We are most definitely reaching out to a deeper sense of connectedness at the end of this expansion phase. And again we find ourselves at the outer edge of our U.

We perceive in a different way, we are part of a bigger whole, and this is no longer an observation, we really become part of this bigger whole. There is no longer objectification, we are one with all living beings.

Stasis is always a moment of gathering momentum for the next wave to come. We are charging the group being and we charge our own energy field.

We prepare to dive deep into our personal processes in the 4^th Breath.

A real 3^rd Breath experience

The picture shows you a real third breath, which took place during a Guest House Facilitation Training in Berlin, in November 2014.

You can see that walking is part of our inward movement. This helps us to deeply integrate and assimilate all that has already unfolded through the steps of “processing the Self” and “seeing”.

Guest House Facilitation includes the activities of daily life as part of the experience. This enables you to have an even deeper awareness of the Life Pulse.

In this deep, inward stasis, participants are invited to check where they are in their own Life Pulse.

CONCLUSION

This 3^r Breath brings us already deep within the U.

We observe, observe and observe. We go to the places with the most potential and we listen with our reason and emotion open.

We are unfolding the capacity for ‘experiencing’. We use this tool of ‘experiencing’ to understand what we do with what happens to us and around us. It is an active sensing as a group and it is experiencing as an individual. Where are you, what is happening in this precious body you inhabit? We still hold a Listening Space and our ability for Curious Asking. We are approaching the reconnection with our soul’s purpose at the bottom of the U.

We recognize what we see and we begin to be able to put words on what we see. There is an intelligence emerging from our heart and we begin to acknowledge this intelligence. We see with our heart. And so far there is still a split between what we do and what we say and think. How can we walk our talk?

In order to establish this we move on to the 4^th breath and we sink into the “groan zone”.

Sam Kaner and his colleagues first introduced the term “groan zone” in 1998. They define the “groan zone” as a natural period of confusion in the process of participatory decision-making when difficult issues are on the agenda.

Much more is to come in the fifth article of this series next week.
