Anatomy of Joyful Relationships
Joyful
relationships are created when we become aware of the beliefs which compromise
our interactions with others and make conscious decisions to change.
Explore ten powerful concepts for revitalizing and healing your
relationships with self and others.
Appropriate
Parenting of Self and Others
Many people learn from their childhood an illusion of power through the
process of “parenting” others through compliance or defiance.
We still believe that seducing ourselves or other people through
parenting is necessary to get our emotional needs met.
Learning how to grow beyond this need requires conscious sensitivity
and understanding the consequences of parenting others or getting others to
parent us.
The
Art of Seduction
Seduction
is a powerful drama used to create the illusion of feeling valued and/or safe.
It is overt or covert behavior used to motivate ourselves or someone
else without awareness. Learn to
become aware of seductive agendas and the consequences of participating in
these dramas. Discover how to
communicate without seduction.
Attracting
Healthy Relationships
In this program, we explore the differences between healthy and unhealthy
relationships as well as the energy which creates them.
We examine the Law of Attraction and how it influences our
relationships. Discover how to
create the vibratory field that attracts relationships that grow with vitality
and intimacy.
A Holistic
Approach To Living Real Intimacy
Real intimacy with self and therefore others requires a conscious
awareness of the behavior we create that simultaneously creates the illusion
of intimacy and insulates us from real intimacy.
Learn the process of mindful re-parenting that allows us to experience
true intimacy.
A Holistic
Approach to Conflict Resolution
Conflict is a natural by-product of two or more parties having
different perceptions about the same issue.
This presentation empowers individuals to understand that most conflict
issues are polarized from the emotional investment of each person.
Learn powerful techniques for healthy conflict resolution.
The Art of
Fighting Fair
Many of us choose to avoid conflict because of the fear we learned
as small children about the painful consequences of conflict. We learned to
escape conflict by emotionally reacting with fight or flight, freeze or
facade. This program examines the specific techniques that allow us to stay
present in conflict, build healthy limits and boundaries and resolve conflict
in a manner that honors all persons involved.
Changing
Relationships Into Partnerships
Changing a relationship into a partnership requires a conscious effort to
experience other people with respect. Respect
for others is actually a reflection of respect for self.
Respect for self comes when we choose to honor how we experienced our
mother, father, and our younger years. It
involves respecting the parts of self that have learned wisdom from the light
and shadow sides of life. Understanding the nature of energy flowing from our
parents through ourselves and into our children means we don’t have to use
our chosen partner in life to fill the void we perceived from our family of
origin. Listeners will discover
how parts of their ego keep them committed in the relationship they had with
their parents, and how to change that energy flow so they are available as a
partner.
Changing
The Shaming Filter
Often
our interactions with others are influenced by hidden shame. Discover how
shame is projected on yourself and others often without conscious awareness.
Learn how to develop the sensitivity and awareness to recognize shaming
statements and behaviors and explore ways of changing the shaming filter.
Learn how to intervene with self and others by observing and responding rather
than reacting. Discover the
process for creating safe and validating relationships with self and others.
Control
Issues
Controlling behavior emerges from core issues of fear and projects the
illusion of self-empowerment. Examine the hidden process of controlling or
being controlled at the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious levels, and
learn how this behavior often sabotages healthy living. Explore how awareness
and understanding can minimize participation in controlling behaviors of self
or others.($15.00 3 tapes/3 $21.00 CDs)
Creating
Healthy Limits and Boundaries
Healthy limits and boundaries establish a safe and valuing place for our
interactions with our internal thoughts and our external relationships with
others. Learn the language of the
ego that creates self nurturing and validation.
Discover a new valuing system that teaches us to become responsible for
ourselves and to others. Gain
profound insights about the purpose of relationships and how we can get our
needs met maintaining healthy limits and boundaries.
Diffusing
Co-Dependency
Diffusing
co-dependency begins with the process of understanding how we benefit from
co-dependency. Investigate some of the hidden dependencies each of us has
developed. Explore the consequences of diffusing the dependencies and the
anticipated behavior others will display when we change.
Embracing Love and
Attachment
The human ego struggles to define the difference between love and attachment
because it experiences gratification with attachment.
Since love is not an emotion but rather, pure thought and
consciousness, we continue to remain attached to the aspects of life we
believe we can control. Love comes
from surrendering; attachment is the illusion of power through control.
Discover for yourself how to embrace both aspects of the human experience.
Healthy
Limits & Boundaries Internal & External
Establishing
a safe place for us to function with our internal thoughts and our external
relationships with others is the focus of this program. Investigate the
language of the ego for self-nurturing that improves our self worth and
esteem.
Healthy
Ways to Express Anger
Do
you still let others make you angry? Take back your power by learning the
“hidden triggers” that cause you to go bonkers. Also discover why you
express some anger and bury the rest. Listen with amazement as we demonstrate
some of the healthy behavior patterns that dissolve anger.
How
Are We Experienced Through Others?
If our only frame of reference is knowing ourselves through our own identity,
then what would it mean to learn how others experience our existence?
Through this presentation you will learn the questions to ask other
people that give us a non-emotional reflection about their perceptions.
This process will allow us to visit the beliefs we hide about ourselves
and become curious about the agenda of our own ego.
How
Do I Find Real Intimacy?
When
we feel empty inside, and it seems like we’re in a big hole because we
can’t trust intimacy with ourselves or anyone else, the answer might be
found in this very special program. The fear of intimacy is a common
experience for many clients that have participated with us at Journeys of
Wisdom. If you truly desire to discover your fearful perceptions of intimacy
and are willing to take the steps toward resolution, this program is for you.
How
We Teach Others To Treat Us
Explore how our belief systems motivate the behavior of other people towards
us at the subconscious and unconscious levels, and how we can change those
beliefs.
Intuition
& Communication in Relationships
This program is about developing the awareness to listen both to your
intuition and the person you’re talking with and learning to distinguish
between making assumptions and intuitive thought.
Explore how messages are communicated verbally and nonverbally.
Discover the clarity of communication that results when you learn to
respond both to direct communications and your intuition.
Learning
To Challenge Without Anger
Because we attach shame or guilt to the process of being challenged or
challenging others, most of us assume a very defensive posture and learn
little from the challenge. We will
learn how to invite other people to challenge our beliefs as we explore the
experience of challenging our own beliefs.
This process will expand our value system and minimize judgment of self
and others.
Life Beyond
the Four Control Dramas
Each of us learned as small children, how to participate in the
control dramas of life as we experienced control issues from our parents,
school, life, etc. These patterns have become part of our subconscious
programming and influence how we teach others to do the control dance. This
presentation offers close examination of the four control dramas everyone
participates in and describes the techniques that empower us to grow beyond
these control traps.
Living
Beyond the Seduction of Others
Many people feel a need to control others out of their own sense of shame and
fear. They create control dramas
to seduce other people into fitting within their own values in order to have a
sense of power and control. This
class will allow the listener to experience this behavior without judgment and
find true freedom within self.
The
Seven Aspects of Relationships
This
presentation explores the seven predictable aspects of the light and shadow
side of every relationship. We
begin with the journey of understanding the seduction of ourselves and others
called infatuation and finish with expressing gratitude for every event
experienced whether painful or joyful. This
program invites the listener to embrace each aspect as a necessary part of
development and to understand why we ask partners to become the perfect mirror
to show us the behavior required for our own growth.
The Spirit
of Relationships
The spirit or energy of a relationship is enlightened or diminished
between the masculine and feminine energy of the partners.
When one or both partners invest in the relationship by making
themselves responsible for the well-being of the other partner, the spirit of
the relationship begins to disintegrate. This presentation explores the
healthy flow of masculine and feminine energy and the concepts that
reconstitute passion and compassion in relationships.
What
are the Hidden Messages I Give People?
This
program demonstrates and teaches effective communication and listening skills.
Practice listening through the ears of the child, parent, and adult egos.
Learn about the energy of words we speak and the difference between the intent
of the spoken word, and ultimately how it is heard.
Why
Relationships Can Be So Painful
Many
relationships are bonded on the principle of co-dependency. We create an
environment that says, “You are responsible for making me feel good,
therefore you are responsible when I don’t feel good.” You are invited to
explore the techniques for transforming co-dependent relationships into
inner-dependent and interdependent relationships.
