Remodeling Structures

People often ask me why an Interior Designer like me became interested in healing personality structures. Well, I smile….it just makes things better.

Have you ever remodeled a home? Believe it or not, there is a direct relationship between the structure of our home, and the structure of our personality.

You see, many people go house hunting to find a new home that feels just right and meets their criteria while also meeting their location parameters. If they do not already know what needs to be changed by the time escrow closes, they soon discover how that particular home might be improved to better fit their needs. You know how that is….If the kitchen could just be opened up…If the bathroom could be updated…If we could just add on another room….

And, not to mention the fact that our needs change. Someone gets married. Newlyweds have a baby. The kids move away. Maybe aging parents move in. Or, maybe someone just wants an updated feel. As our needs change, the opportunity presents itself to change or modify our environment while implementing more effective and technologically efficient ways of living in today’s changing world.

Identifying new goals is a good thing. Limitations we experience by not having what we want in a structure actually help us to identify what it is we really do want. It is the same thing with our personalities. In the same way a remodeling process can bring our homes up-to-date, identifying new goals for our personal lives can simultaneously invite us to release beliefs which restrict our forward progress and no longer serve us. We feel stuck and cramped.

What kind of fears and limiting beliefs?

Beliefs like we cannot ever have the life we truly want, or, beliefs that we must always struggle. Beliefs like, “Why aren’t I experiencing more love, more money or a more satisfying career? Why aren’t I writing that best selling novel or enjoying breakthrough golf?” Fears like fear of success to fear of flying, to fear of playing winning golf….Fears like snakes and heights and fears of having lots of love and money.

We may blame some one or some thing as to why we have we become depressed or held back in life. But, the good news is that feeling stuck is simply evidence of a limiting belief with something far richer waiting for us below its tattered surface! Identifying new goals is a good thing.

Until recently, we really were stuck with limitations. In times past, people had very few choices. They were born to live a certain way and unless some big miracle happened to change their lot, they lived out their entire lives in much the same way that their parents did before them.

But, now the miraculous is available for us any time we want to expand into being our best. As humanity’s awareness has increased, so have new techniques which allow for quick release of old patterns. These new highly effective and powerfully transformative techniques are called Energy Psychology.

If you haven’t already heard about the research done in this area…you are in for a treat. We no longer have to remain stuck with a dissatisfying life. There is always something more. Identify new goals and reselect old dreams… Dreams are waiting for us to realize them. We only need a blueprint for healing in hand to rebuild a more authentic way of living.

Simply put, beliefs we carry, whether good or bad, whether consciously or unconsciously, will reveal themselves in time through external events. The more conscious we are of the changes and why we are making them, the easier our transition within our most intimate environments…our homes and our personalities.*

I practice a type of transformative healing technique called Guided Self Healing, developed by Andrew Hahn, Ph.D. This healing technique is unique in that it allows the body, through kinesiology and focus of the body felt indicators as to the precise direction it wishes to utilize of Energy Psychology in order to get past fears and beliefs. Using Energy Psychology, along with The Enneagram, and Archetypes, brings alignment on every level, body, mind, and soul in order to create whole being awareness and freedom of choice.

Guided Self Healing, just like design, allows us to rebuild our daily lives in a way that is more in alignment with our souls, and to do so in a way which is fully ecological (a way that is in harmonious respect for our lives). It only appears that events occur because of something or someone outside us. But, the truth is… everything outside us allows for greater awareness of what exists within us. Structures deserve designing with conscious awareness. So do we. That is what Home is all about.
