Since I last posted, there have been some amazing events and insights open up for me in my life. Although what I went through with reporting sexual harassment recently was very difficult for me, it was worth it.
I hated the feelings of anger and rage about feeling like I’d been put in a position to have to put up with abuse. I hated the feeling (that was based on an old, negative belief I had held) that I couldn’t do anything about it.
Facing the facts about what was happening at my old job and how I felt about it (instead of ignoring it) was a strong step. Then, taking positive action to do something about it, was the next big step.
When it was happening, I told my son, Dylan, “If I ignore what’s going on or if I retaliate with anger and abusive words, nothing really changes. I know there’s another way!” I knew I’d be guided through prayer and my deep connection to my Guides and God about how to handle the situation, my feelings, and even my perceptions about it. Well, I have been guided, and it’s been an interesting ride.
Within a day or two after I sent the questionnaire back to the EEOC, the government agency that deals with sexual harassment and discrimination, things started shifting for me in my life, and my business picked up immediately. I’ve been observing what’s happening with amusement and amazement as I follow my inner guidance as it’s presented to me.
I find it extremely interesting that this influx of clients seems to be mostly men at the moment. I know that I’m being guided as the focus of my work is shifting. New information is starting to come to me while I work, between sessions, and in meditation. I feel a deep love, compassion and acceptance for my clients, and I know they all feel it at some level.
Most of these new people coming in know nothing about energy work, Breathwork, or why anyone would even want to focus on clearing emotions. I can’t help but giggle because I feel like I have a captive audience as I share a little with them if it feels right.
Something happened for me when I sent that questionnaire off to the EEOC. It was really hard to do, but immediately afterwards, everything in my life started to change. I’m very clear that some healing, a shift in perception has happened for me. It’s deep and it’s profound. It’s about feeling like I have a choice! I have a voice!
By taking a stand and doing something about a situation where I felt I was being forced into something I didn’t want, I can see the little kid in me feels safe. She (I) had an experience of me taking care of her (of myself), even if it was hard.
I know that this phase of my life, work and purpose is evolving right now. I don’t know how this adventure is going to unfold, but I’m very excited. I’m following my guidance through this, and I feel trusting, passionate, and grateful for all of it. I’ll keep you posted.
In the meantime, always remember your passion.
Love, Maren Nelson
