We are moving quickly through the 10 Steps of the Empowerment Process. Last time we spoke of Beliefs. We now observe how they relate to our Opportunity for transformation in Step #1. We also want to notice how they, as disempowering beliefs held in our bioenergetic field, run our lives to the extent that we are attached to them. They are worth transforming so that our minds and hearts and ultimately our behavior are positively affected.
Now, in Step #5 of the EP, can you recognize past conflicts that result in present unfulfilled needs?
You may notice some conflicting thoughts and feelings in your bio-energetic field. These thoughts or feelings can be recognized as mental confusion and sometimes physical tension. If you recognize conflicts, think of earlier times in your life to when you first had these feelings. See if you can remember, even vaguely, what the situation was about. Although this type of conflict may not be part of your life now, what is the “left-over” that keeps showing up?
These are usually from a very young age, even a pre-verbal time. Usually, it has to do with our feelings, often toward our parents or siblings. “I was unloved” or “not understood” often come up as examples. It is good to identify and write down the conflict. Then, since this is still lively, even currently energetically at bay or at an unconscious level, we continue to act in a way that the conflict is current and use it to make an excuse for our thinking and behavior.
In step #5, we are then led to the unfulfilled or unmet need. The unfulfilled need generally follows your beliefs that have developed in order to give a reason or excuse for a situation. Take a look at your beliefs to discover what you are still trying to bring forth and wrestling with in your life. A way to determine a need that has never been fully met, is that you are still hoping for or chasing something. These could manifest as still “needing” to find a perfect life-partner, be in greater financial comfort, discover your life’s passion, attain spiritual enlightenment…. or be understood or loved.
It becomes obvious to us now. For example, if our in our conflict we felt that “I am unloved”, then we seek that in life. What are you still hoping for? We just write out, LOVE, as the unfulfilled need.
Continue on your journey for positive transformation.
