All living things have cellular
memory - that means that your
responses to events and decisions
are generally the same as you have
‘trained’ yourself to respond to,
and some of them go way back to
childhood. Unless you have worked
to change these responses!
Fear, trauma, grief and more get
locked in our bodies and they arise
when it is time to deal with them,
so let them go or heal from the
inside out.
In her work with emotions and soul,
helping people heal from the inside
Karen inspires women and children
to write ‘new stories’ to respond
to events and challenges, and
thereby become more confident
in the decisions that they make for
themselves. This includes women
who need to make decisions
for their business or workplace.
We receive messages from our body
all the time. As Karen works from a
holistic view, she suggests that we
always consider the messages our
subconscious is sharing with us in
body, soul and inner spirit.
How can this help me with
decision-making? feel - does it increase or decrease?
Does the pain move? Notice.
If the decision is truly aligned
with the real you, you will know
instinctively that it is the right
decision for you. Then ask yourself, what is your
instinct with the instruction? Was
there an alternative that popped
into your head at that moment? Is
it something you feel good about
doing? Is it something that feels
aligned with who you are (your
beliefs and the inner you)? Or
is it the opposite?
When you make a decision for your
business, how do you feel? Do you
make the decision without thinking
about it, or are you consumed by
a feeling, emotion or energy, or
fear at that moment of decision? If
you feel nausea, or pain in any way
- notice it. Where do you feel the
pain? What type of pain? Ask your
body what message it is trying to
send you?
You may wonder why Karen
suggests that this mindful process
can help you in making decisions.
Some examples to help you …
if someone suggests you do
something at work and you feel sick
in the stomach … pause. Notice. Ask
your body what the message is. Is it
fear? Does it feel aligned with the
true you? If you try to physically put
a foot forward, how does the feeling
Notice where the pain is. If it
is nausea in the stomach … ask
yourself ‘is there something that
makes me feel threatened at this
particular moment or decision?’
Pause. Notice. Ask yourself the
questions.
If the pain is in your feet - notice
and ask yourself ‘what could be
stopping me moving forward?’ Is
it fear, or uncertainty, or an inner
refusal that needs looking at?’
And, alternatively, if you feel an
absolute joy or inner knowing
filling your body, go with it. It is
the right decision for you and
you can let the magic happen.
