Have you ever figured out your Enneagram? Itβs not too late to attend this FREE CLASS! π We personally love the Enneagram. We like how this ancient wisdom can be used as a meaningful self-discovery tool.


HIDDEN INSECURITIES: π Insecurities can be a heavy burden, weighing you down and holding you back from living your most empowered life.
As you may now know, the key to transforming these insecurities often hides within the very shadows you've been taught to avoid. π€
Most donβt automatically look at their own insecurities and think, huh, thatβs my repressed shadow rearing upβ¦ yet that is often where our insecurities come from β the parts we've deemed unacceptable or unworthy.
Exploring these hidden aspects can illuminate the path to wholeness and self-acceptance.
3 Shadow Work Techniques for Uncovering Insecurities:
>>> Self-Reflection and Journaling: π Shadow work prompts that delve into your deepest insecurities can bring unconscious beliefs and fears to the surface, allowing you to confront them through the power of self-reflection and journaling.
>>> The 3-2-1 Shadow Process: π By identifying someone who triggers strong emotions, describing their qualities, dialoguing with them in your imagination, and then embodying those qualities yourself, this technique can help you recognize projection and understand how your insecurities are tied to the traits you deny in yourself.
>>> Visualization and Empathy: π§ Visualizing your shadow self and engaging with them compassionately, offering empathy and understanding for the parts of yourself that you've hidden or judged, can foster self-acceptance and healing, ultimately addressing the root causes of your insecurities.
Dare to face the darkness within, and unlock the radiant light that has been waiting to shine through all along. π

SOMATIC EMOTIONAL RELEASE: Rooted in the understanding that our physical experiences hold emotional imprints, SER integrates bodywork with psychology. π« Pioneered by the visionary Dr. John Upledger, creator of CranioSacral Therapy, this transformative approach helps you release deep-seated emotional trauma and unlock holistic healing. π
π§ Prepare a quiet, comfortable space and gather any needed supplies. Begin by grounding and centering yourself through deep breathing and visualization.
1οΈβ£ Scan your body, noticing any areas of tension or discomfort.
2οΈβ£ Tune into your emotions, acknowledging what you feel without judgment.
3οΈβ£ Focus your attention on the most charged area and breathe into it, releasing any stored tension or emotion.
4οΈβ£ Engage in a dialogue with your body, listening for insights. Allow your body to physically express the emotion in a safe, gentle way.
π«Ά Integrate the experience through heart-centered breathing and self-compassion. Conclude by returning to the present moment. Remember to be gentle with yourself and seek support if needed. π€

SAFELY DISPOSE OF EXPIRED MEDICATIONS: π¨ Did you know that expired medications can be a serious health hazard? Many people don't realize that certain drugs can actually become toxic or lose their effectiveness over time. That's why it's so important to dispose of them properly. ποΈ
Luckily, there are some easy ways to do this safely. π The best option is to use a drug take-back program. Many pharmacies and community organizations offer these, making it super convenient to get rid of your old meds responsibly.
If a take-back program isn't available, you can also toss expired pills in the household trash. Just be sure to mix them with something unappetizing like coffee grounds or kitty litter first, to prevent accidental ingestion. π
And for a small number of medications on the FDA's flush list, π½ flushing is actually the recommended disposal method to avoid immediate danger.
