The Five Step SHIFT
|
As with so many things in my life, the idea for the Five Step SHIFT began with a dream...
|
|
It is moments before my wedding and I am not yet dressed. I am rummaging through my closet for a certain garment to wear underneath the wedding gown. I am sure I have what I need, and yet I can't seem to find it. The things in the closet are old clothes, from childhood, nothing suitable there. Friends and family bring me several selections of things to wear under my gown, but none of them are suitable either. I can picture exactly what I need and it's just a simple shift.
|
As I woke from this dream, the phrase simple shift kept ringing through my head. The wedding, to me, represents stepping into a new life, a new way of being, a wholeness. It is a journey of transformation, of becoming "wed" to all that I love and creating a life of fulfillment and authenticity. The wedding gown itself - the outer garment, the facade - is not important. The preparation for transformation must come from a deeper place, underneath the facade, underneath outer appearances. What is needed is a simple shift at the inner level. The shift is not in the closet of childhood - in past beliefs, traumas or dramas. All that "clothing" from youth, the belief systems inherited from parents, teachers, era of birth and experiences of youth, no longer fit. Nor does the "clothing" offered by friends and family - the outmoded ideas in the collective conscious, the borrowed opinions, beliefs and prejudices of others. The shift I need is in my own mind - I can picture it. If I can picture it, I can create it...and so can you!

In pondering what that shift might be, all the practices I've learned over the years began to sort themselves out under the letters in the word "SHIFT." Here are the steps to the Five Step SHIFT - a powerful process through which you can transform your life! (click on the links for details about each step, or click the play button to watch the movie)
