How to Overcome the Freeze Response

In my search to find out about what keeps us stuck, I came to know more about the freeze response…

Freeze response: a survival strategy used when fight or flight is impossible.

Apparently, it is often overlooked in our studies on reactions to stress. What is the case is that we go into a fight-flight-freeze response every time we perceive that we are facing a threat. Our coping mechanism helps us to guard against threats to our survival. When we see a lion running towards us, we can choose to fight or flee. However, there is also the freeze response that could take place right before fight or flight.

“Based on recent literature, freeze, flight, fight, fright, faint provides a more complete description of the human acute stress response sequence than current descriptions.” Merie Friedman

We may not meet menacing lions everyday. However, there could be many situations where we perceive we are in danger. While the threat we face in our lives is hardly real, it is our perception of it that keeps it real. The illusion of danger gets played out in the physical world as if it truly exists.

No More Excuses for Your Goals

Dear Aspiring Writers, Business Owners, Coaches, Energy Healers and Executives…

I’m curious…what goal do you have, if accomplished in the next 12 months, will make you extremely happy?

Is it to:
– Write and publish a book?
– Lose weight and feel well?
– Attract your soul mate?
– Set up a new business?
– Give public presentations?
– Save a sum of money?
– Grow your business by X%?

….Except that you may be wondering if you are likely to commit to this goal.

After all, you could have been putting off this goal year after year.

As you probably already have discovered, setting the intention alone did not help you get very far. You might have mustered some energy behind your goal but it all fizzled out too soon! In fact, you could also be about to give up the idea of turning your dream into reality!

Well, how would you like to get unstuck and move past your paralysis on an energetic level?

A dream without a goal is just wishful thinking!

No more excuses! Take action now. More details on the Radiant Goal Reimprinting Program 2016 can be found here >>>

Enneagram Type 9: Positive Affirmations for Path of Growth

Overview of the Enneagram Type 9: The Peacemaker, Mediator, Spiritual Seeker

If you are an Enneagram Type 9, you are about harmony. You are peace-loving, trusting, easy-going and even-tempered. Your mantra is to go with the flow. Sitting on the crown of the Enneagram, you hold spiritual instincts. What is ironical is that despite your orientation to spirituality, you are potentially the most grounded in the physical world.

You exude a positive energy. What appeals is the pleasant side of life. You enjoy being stress-free and desire life to be effortless. Being optimistic, you carry the faith that things will somehow work out on its own. Your belief is that everything will be okay should everyone stay cool and collected and no one rocks the boat.

“If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.” — 14th Dalai Lama

Awaken to The Force : 10 Things You Need to Know

“The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.” Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars

I am not a Jedi Knight nor do I have midi-chlorians, as the Star Wars movies suggest, for accessing the Force.

However, as with all energy healing practitioners alike, I have been tapping into Universal Life Energy….which I guess pretty much means the same thing as the Force, but without all the laser movie effects.

Even then, as I found out, we do not need go through any attunement process with any healing modality to experience Universal Life Force energy. Say, if we master Qigong, we can begin to feel a vital source of energy flowing within and through us.

I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,

You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful.
If not, it can’t be helped.” — Fritz Perls

Enneagram Type 5: Positive Affirmations for Path of Growth

Overview of the Enneagram Type 5: The Observer, Investigator, Thinker, Sage

If you are an Enneagram Type 5, you are intellectual, informed and logical. You are an observer of life, and prefer to stay on the sidelines. You like others to see you as someone wise, perceptive and knowledgeable.

You prefer to conserve your energy instead of participating or engaging actively in life. Staying on the sidelines is your way of maintaining calm and composure in a seemingly chaotic world. To make sense of the chaos, you seek refuge in knowledge. Subject mastery appeals to you. As an Enneagram Type 5, you are part of the thinking triad (Types 5, 6 and 7).

“I am turned into a sort of machine for observing facts and grinding out conclusions.” Charles Darwin

Tap Away Your Paralysis to Do Work that You Love

“Overthinking a situation can lead to a phenomenon called analysis paralysis which results in no decision being made.”

Find yourself emotionally and mentally paralyzed?

Don’t know which way to go?

Perhaps it is not that you lack options, but you could be contemplating more than one. You have got many wonderful what-if ideas. They have been in the playground of your mind. Each has called out to you until you don’t know which to choose.

Then again, it could all boil down to this: you can’t decide if you are willing to give up a job that you are not passionate about (but which pays you a comfortable salary) for something that you love but which is untested.

You have seen them all. There is plenty of advice of “do what you love” over the internet. You are drawn to the feel-good factor of the advice. A part of you is resonating with its tune. You can’t help wondering if there is something bigger and more than what your office job entails.
