Alice Miller, The Body Never Lies—

“Physical illnesses are the body’s response to permanent disregard of its vital functions. One of our most vital functions is an ability to listen to the true story of our own lives.”

We each have a story, a series of events/circumstances, influenced by our individual and collective (societal/historical) experiences. Story may formulate from a tape that continuously runs in the mental mind, linking thoughts with emotion, or from a habituated shaping of our physical body. The shaping of the physical body produces a mood; creating a link between body and emotion. Shaping may operate on behalf of life or you may recognize an experience as disconnecting from life.

The Art of Unpacking Soma has been a theme in my storyline for over 40 years. Observing began through the access point of the mental mind; deciphering the world from a place of either/or thinking (good/bad, right/wrong, safe/unsafe). A hypervigilant, external focus led to disengagement with expressing internal emotion and feeling body sensation. I operated from a place of “being at the effect of circumstances”, which for me means surviving the world and navigating relationships.

As the practices of yoga and tai chi brought me back into relationship with my body, other modalities reconnected me with emotions. Threading my experiences of mind, emotion, body language has opened me up into strength, stamina, capacity for embodying choice. Embodying choice has me have agency for “being with” the dynamic unfolding of life, inviting more.

Can you identify either way of being?

Does a story come to mind right now?

How do you gain access to authoring a new story?

Exploring our unique communication system and observing our mind, emotion, body languaging informs us of our level of engagement with our living body (Soma). The intelligence of the entire organism (Whole System Response) is a vital lens in which we organically engage with the world. Through the interactive, interrelated, interdependent Soma Communication System, we increase our capacity in the unfolding of how we language an experience. This informs moving with experience, being in direct relationship with the fullness of life within us and in community with others.

Is your unique relationship with Soma what you have been longing to discover?

Are you pondering the possibility of a new way of operating in your being that gives you a deeper connection to you?

Are you able to remember a moment when you felt aligned, all aspects of the mind, the emotion and the body interacting in a harmonious way of being?

How are you unpacking that which no longer serves you? Choosing to explore and awaken into observing and engaging as a somatic being opens us up into living our purpose while experiencing the joy of who and what we came here to be and do.

Coming from an organizing nature, unpacking for me happens in so many different ways. Imagine a suitcase where everything is jumbled and stuffed inside, unable to close and function properly.

Then, imagine a suitcase where all the contents are organized and have a place.

Now it is time to unpack the suitcase. Do you throw the contents into a disorganized heap only to ‘deal with it’ later? Do you remove the contents in an organized way, returning the contents to their rightful place? Do you take the time to be with the experience, listening to the wisdom of Soma?

Sometimes unpacking is messy and happens all at once and sometimes it is a slow, deliberate process. There is no right or wrong way to do it. You can be in the both/and…you can go into the depths all at once or you may choose to take one baby step at a time. Consciously choosing what, where, and how to unpack supports moving into ‘trueing’ with Life itself.

Link to our video to explore what ‘trueing’ is for you

Trueing Ourselves in Somatic Relationship

For me, the art of unpacking is a dynamic process creating generative movement toward balance. It is an expansion of either/or thinking into both/and thinking. While sustaining and maintaining life enhancing languaging and fluidity of the entire communication system, soul consciousness is able to operate through form to remember itself.

“Health is the natural expression of the body, mind, and soul when they are in rhythm with the One Life.”- Dr. Randolph Stone, Health Building

Are You in the Practice of Becoming? by Victoria McMahon

creation Awakening, Body, communication, connection, Creation Templates, curiosity, Embodiment, Emotions, Imagination, Language of Creation, listening, Observing, Perception, Resonance, sentient intelligence, Victoria McMahon 0

What does ‘practice’ evoke in you?

A specific feeling….excitement….dread….curiosity?

A body response of contraction or tension ….heaviness?

Maybe it is a tingling in the hands/legs? Or even butterflies in your solar plexus area?

Pause and listen….

How about the word ‘becoming’?

Is it about the mystery or curiously not knowing that arises or is it feelings of confusion…even yet, thoughts popping in about making plans or setting goals.

How do these thoughts connect with your body response to the word?

You may not really give it that much attention in the daily routine of life. And in the typical western culture of the holiday season, you may be so wrapped up in ‘to do’s’ that the considering of who you are right now and who you are becoming is overlooked at best.

In moving towards the close of 2022, I am struck by words like reflections, endings, integration, and deepening coming more into the forefront of conversation with others. In the inner dialogue and external acknowledging, I invite you into taking stock of what you are moving with and towards as 2023 draws nearer.

In the Language of Consciousness Institute December 1st newsletter, Elektra shared her observations of the year of our Team journey. What we are curious about and interested in discovering with you is in direct relationship with our group practice in Becoming.

For all of us, the timing of now is perfectly designed for steeping in

Observing

and Observing Being.

These Templates offer you reflection and integration. They become the steps towards individually deepening in longing to be your unique Becoming.

Do you have a practice of being intentional in your Becoming?

Can you voice the commitment you create on behalf of you…others?

If not, is having a practice for Becoming inviting, even intriguing? Can you imagine for a moment what you might crave to include?

For me, the practice of Becoming has specific elements:

Awareness
Presence
Moving Sentiently
Opening up into Self
Embodiment

These elements may become your foundation for creating a practice…living the exploration. Allow these elements to support you in discovering the language of your body, your emotional being, your mental mind; thus supporting you in the practice of Becoming?

Do you experience your body communicating…languaging its craving for you?. Offering a longing of Becoming?

Is it in the listening of sensation….

the tracking of tension/ relaxation…

the developing of your registers of sensory knowing?

Do you hold yourself more compassionately…and how do you feel that occurring in you?

Are you fully present in your emotional being?

Is this feeling of presence in emotion occurring in a way that you are able to be with and move as the observer of the emotion rising?

This is a beginning inquiry into the ‘what and how’ of registering you as a Sentient Being…a being in the state of Becoming.

Consider the most recent time of feeling overwhelmed, either in a state of elation or full despair…were you able to hold in your full capacity to be in the experience of Self in ‘whole system response’?

Allow me to share an example of feeling overwhelmed….in a state of pure elation. While on a shared field journey in Glastonbury, U.K., we were in an experience in relationship with water and the sacred Chalice Well. As I entered the garden area, I experienced a deep pulsing energy in the body and felt the physical pull of my being towards two yew trees that felt to be guardians of the Well. My gaze lifted and I absorbed myself in connection with the beauty of the trees while my body was being drawn towards these two guardian trees. I mentally realized I was in body and emotion languaging and thoughts came through to hand off my belongings to another in the field so I could be with what was sentiently rising in body and emotion. Within a brief time, I found myself face down on Earth…feeling the pulsing of the body connecting with the pulsing roots of the tree, extending its energy to connect with me! Tears began to stream out…body heaving and feeling full elation upon this being. My capacity to be fully present was overwhelming elation and then some aspect of me put the brakes on it! In that moment, I had the awareness of stopping the Self from being her fullness in Becoming. The whole system response was present and yet not sustained and maintained to full embodiment of Self in relationship with All.

This experience is a powerful experience that in-forms continued commitment to practice in Becoming.

Is there an experience for you that in-forms you of your capacity to be fully present in body, emotion, mental mind being your Becoming?

Consider as well:

Is your thought language in relationship ‘to what you craving Becoming’?
Are your thoughts congruent with your emotional and physical observation of experiences and events?
Do you have opinions about what is cycling through your daily experience?
Do you notice whether you move away from or towards exploration of Becoming?
Are you conscious and present in the experience?

Are you in a distinct practice that invites you into this state of Becoming? Or, are you ready to create your practice of Becoming?

As the Language of Consciousness Institute is in its exploration of Becoming, and each one of us is exploring in our practice of Becoming, we invite you into a practice of Becoming with us!

The Emergence and Embodiment and Immersion Series are part of the Language of Consciousness Institute’s offerings to you in support of creating your practice of Becoming.

Pause and breathe now…

Are you pondering….are you seeing a picture in your mind?

If you participated in Emergence and Embodiment and/or Immersing Ourselves in What is Rising: Co-Creating New Realities event(s), how have these experiences opened you up into discovering who and what you are in and through the collective field?

How does the practice of Template writing expand this discovery?

Does the practice of Moving Sentiently deepen your access to discovery…individual and/or collective?

As this year draws to a close, I invite you into the pondering of what it might look like for you to step into your Being Becoming. What would A Year of Practice in Becoming look like for you? What would you crave it to include?

Are you longing for practices that open the Becoming of Body Sentience, Emotional Sentience, and Mental Mind Sentience? Are you craving regular practice to embody You as a Template of Being?
Do you want your daily experience to include a relationship with Time that nourishes you in the fullness of who and what you are?

This is your invitation….

Create your practice for 2023!

Join me…join the Team of the Language of Consciousness Institute…

Be in relationship ….

Giving Sentience a Place by Victoria McMahon

creation Body, connection, consciousness, Imagination, Resonance, Sensitivities, sentient intelligence, Victoria McMahon Body, body wisdom, communication, consciousness, sentience 0

What are the ways you know yourself to be alive, attuned, aligned with your body…your essence being nature? How do you give language to this sense of you? Have you even considered giving these ways of being a place in your everyday life?

Imagine for a moment, we are sitting in your favorite cafe, park, natural scenic location. I invite you into a conversation about how you know yourself to be alive, attuned, aligned with your body…your being. What might you say in response?

Many of us might respond by saying I am alive because my heart is beating, and I am breathing. I am attuned to the with the sounds around me and I am aligned in listening to you speaking. Which, for sure, is a great beginning!

And then, what is next? How might we expand upon this beginning. Becoming the observer into who and what we are begins with our usual sensing experience and it expands beyond. Being the Observer of life is recognizing that observing is Sourcing Creation.

“Observing is being fully present to what you are present to, opening up into what there is to open up into and having what is yours to have.” Tantra Maat

We have the capacity for sensation or feeling of information taken in through our senses. More than simply noticing, we bring the conscious willingness to engage with these sensory experiences. This conscious doing is ‘observing’! In becoming the observer, we open up into the field of Sentience…so what is it to be Sentient?

Living sentiently is the art and science of actively engaging with sentient processes, which develops awareness of access points to ‘the more of you’. This can also be described as ‘living beyond the circumstances of mind or the culture which you were born into’.

Moving beyond circumstance simply means, you make a place for the daily events of life and simultaneously engage with these events as a Sentient Being….in the fully embodied, fully present Presence of who and what you are.

We have a language or communication system through the body as the body sends language in chemical signals that we perceive in a sensory way. The body tells us when we are hot/cold, fearful/calm, settled/excitable…. etc. Butterflies in our stomach is a common way to describe when anxiety is upon us. This communication system is a beginning exploration into the Language of Sentience.

Sentience is defined as “sentient condition or character; capacity for sensation or feeling.” Dictionary.com expands upon sentience as being sentient as “having the power of perception by the senses; conscious.”

In our capacity for sensation, feeling and power of perception through the senses, we remember we are the power of consciousness itself. This capacity of sentience is innately present in each and every one of us as human beings.

Remember, from the definition of sentience, we have the capacity for sensation or feeling with information that arrives through our senses. And the art of being sentient is engaging with our sensory experience through the power of perception, which really means, being consciously conscious and in relationship with our senses. This is more than just noticing that we have sensory experience.

Engaging with your observings in a consciously conscious way, you experience how sensations, sensitivities, and imaginings thread together to deepen the felt experience and increase your capacity to track the full experience. Body sensation, emotions and thoughts support you in gaining access to how your system operates.

So, building sensory awareness develops your unique language of how you perceive sensation experienced in the body and how the emotion and thinking weave into the body sensation to build the whole network. The network that is Sentient Language.

Stop and listen within to experience the deepening right now.

In this now new moment, what are you observing? (a body sensation, a thought, an emotion, or something occurring in relationship to your being?)

In this observing, what is the next layer that you are becoming present to? And, in being present with this experience, what opens up for you?

Feel the next layer awakening…. notice whether you are experiencing mental thinking or beyond the thinking mind. (Sometimes this is experienced as “this is beyond what my thinking mind could come up with” or “wow, where did that thought come from” – I call it a download). Invite yourself to consider it as the cognitive perception of the more.

Again, check in and notice the thinking…. thought thinking (random thought or limiting thought such as judgment) or beyond thinking mind.

Simply continue observing what you are opening up into and observe again in this opening up into, what does this have you have?

Can you sense how you are with the moment just as it is, not dictating how or what arises (like watching a series of images or thoughts without creating a story or an ending)?

Take a breath….

The art of observing, over time, becomes the discovery into a way of living that engages your sentient awareness.

Breathe in fully….

So, did limiting thought emerge? Did you resist the thought, or could you see this as peeling another layer of the onion in a neutral way of simply observing the thought rising to the surface and making room for it?

As you deepen into your observing, limited thoughts are given a place. Remember everything is a part of everything else and everything has a place. This natural occurrence of limited thinking is simply another expression to show us in observation that we were born into a culture and system that disengaged us from the power and language of our Sentience. And as this is the truth of it, we are fully capable of restoring our connection!

Most of us have grown up and currently living in a culture (the world) that avoids, overlooks, and even disavows the value of Sentience. I am bound and determined to give Sentience a place. Will you join me…us?

Walk Your Existence: Opening Up Into Your Sentient Intelligence by Victoria McMahon

It was April of 2013….a Sunday morning Spirit Hour of tea with Tantra. I was busy writing down these words being offered….

“every cell has a spirit…your liver has a spirit…not every cell is cooperative….give up dominating ourselves …just have to be …being the spirit we are…because spirit can shut us down now as we need to rest, revamp, reorganize……”

“cells are keeping us with soul consciousness awakening whether we are in illusion of getting things done or in the spirit of awakening in ourselves.”

Now, it is August of 2022 at 2:22 am when I am coming across these words again. How spirit guides us in the opening up into sentient intelligence is quite curious. I have been in a listening all weekend for what the language of sentience intelligence is for me is that wishes to be shared.

What is prominent in the words that I heard back in April of 2013 is how I am giving up dominating myself…and instead being the spirit I am…the cells of this body are keeping me with soul consciousness awakening whether I am in illusion of getting things done or in the spirit of awakening. This is so evident for me as I am inspirited while the bodymind is doing the physical tasks required to sell one home and move across the country to land in another home.

Being the spirit we are…what is the access point or points that guide us into this place of being? It is our sentient intelligence internal communication system that opens us up into the essential nature or design of who we remember ourselves to be.

Tantra’s definition of Sentient Intelligence – “The resonant language of creation that bonds all that exists into one cohesive whole. This is the intelligence, when picked up….allows all of life to be a sensual, engaging, vital, and connected experience. Experienced as sensations, sensitivity, emotions, or energies running thru you, imagination, words popping into your head. It is an internal communication system.”

How does one open up this internal communication system? Let’s consider the possibilities of how we listen into our internal communication system. Listening is observing and observing is listening. Observing what? We observe our experiences….what occurs in the course of daily living. What we pay attention to or listen for….and then there is what we are not paying attention to or listening for.

For some of us, the dominant way we listen may be from the experience of mental perception. Experience is the metapoint between the spirit and flesh. Our perceptions of the reality in which we find ourselves is interpreted through our senses…our sentient intelligence. So, when we are in observing and listening through active sensory awareness, we develop our internal communication system and a deeper coherence of mental perception embeds in the neural pathways of the mind. This is when we know our thinking mind is operating in connection with Creation.

For some of us, the dominant way we listen may be from the experience of physical sentience. Experience as the metapoint of spirit and flesh , the perceiving occurs in the physical nature of the being and then mental perception arises in accordance with the experience of the body sensation and sensitivities. Our perception of reality and internal communication system is observed and listening to through the body and perception may have language or there may not be the language of words….only the language of felt knowing. So, when we are in observing and listening through body sensory awareness, we develop our deeper coherence of sensate perception that is in congruence with the sensate world/realities around us. This is when we know our felt experience is operating in connection with Creation.

The magic for all of us is to be in our unique and essential design of who we remember ourselves to be only asks us to observe and listen for how we access the synergy of both operating systems simultaneously, to become the greater wholeness of who we are. While our tendencies may be one way, the gift is to expand the broader, wider, deeper of the other way. Do you know what your own personal sentient intelligence is? It is a communication system you were born with. It is what you used before you had language.

One More Thing by Victoria McMahon

creation Alchemy, Body, connection, Creation Templates, curiosity, Language of Creation, Perception, sentient intelligence, Victoria McMahon choice, creation exercises, perception, resiliency, templates 0

How do we shift our perception of the Creation Templates from ‘one more thing’ to ‘a part of’. I have been pondering lately on the view of the Creation Templates. Many of us have been writing the Creation Templates for years now and there are those who are completely new to the templates. Yet. we may be viewing them through the same mental lens. This is the mental lens of ‘One More Thing’! What is this perception of our culture that creates the notion of burden rather than to add or deepen into oneself?

Our culture these days is overwhelmed, anxious, and feeling at the affect of ‘one more thing’. This pressure is upon us as an awakening conscious collective is showing up in our unique relationship to ‘one more thing’. Are you experiencing your version of this lens? Have the Creation Templates become a ‘one more thing’ notion for you?

What would it look like to create a shift in consciousness and transform from ‘one more thing’ mindset to curious engagement in the Creation Templates as a guide into how we are a part of everything and everything is a part of us? The conundrum of this question, for me, is that I must be willing to pause, breathe and engage with the question as a beginning. And the engagement for me, arises out of the making of space and recognizing that I am a part of innately even if I am not consciously conscious of this innate knowing.

The natural tendency of the mind then is to equate ‘one more thing’ as a burden instead of opportunity. The intriguing aspect of this conundrum, then, is if we operate in this as faulty thinking, I don’t believe we have a chance to shift the thinking. And, if the shift occurs when we recognize this thinking occurs in the individual and collective…we have the opportunity to shift our relationship individually as well as collectively.

What is so interesting about this whole pondering it, is that while I feel like I am making no sense with the words, my body trust the authenticity of what I am writing. It is as if the body is dictating through the hands what is to be conveyed…regardless if comprehensible.

This also occurs when I am writing Creation Templates. The brain may or may not register what is being languaged though the alchemical nature of the template yet. And, the body is in alignment with it always. The brain may like or not like the words appearing and meanwhile the body is simply in the experience of being in the template unfolding.

Is this the way to orient beyond the ‘one more thing’ mind to gain access to ‘a part of everything and everything a part of being? How much am I willing to pause, reflect upon, and invest in this possibility? Are you??

This blog had the starting point to explore what has been occurring in my experience of template writing in exploring being, doing, having. Last spring I took time to write templates daily for 90 days (30 days for each state of being). This self-study experience has unfolded over the past year, opening up into a collaborative event this past weekend.

Lori Candon and I invited the exploration: Being, Doing, Having Resiliency . I am now able to see how the Creation Templates shifted me from ‘one more thing’ into ‘a part of’ as the engagement into an exploration opened me up into being, doing and having more of who I am…more being which invites the doing as a whole system response of body, mind and spirit. And in this gaining deeper reflection as evidence in the mental mind, I am more connected in the stability, groundedness in being, and capacity to respond to each now moment….what feels like being a part of ….resiliency.

I close to share the Craving What template and Observing that flowed through my fingers before writing the pondering I share here as a result of craving deepening into oneself.

Emotional Presence: Give The Mind a Spring Cleaning by Victoria McMahon

creation Awakening, Body, Brain, capacity, connection, consciousness, Creation Templates, Emotions, Mind, Victoria McMahon emotions, looping thoughts, Observing, thinking 0

Feelings and emotional states of being are becoming the predominant experience in these times upon us. The shift from one feeling to another is so swift and often many of us are not able to language what is moving with us. It can feel like a multitude of experiences culminating spontaneously.

How is this part of your experience? How do you language it….inside a creation template….in a conversation? Are you finding your relationship with experience confusing or awakening?

This may very well be how we are moving with or into the next reset. The curiosity is what does a next reset look or feel like. Is it like previous resets in our physical being lifetime or are we embracing a whole new system response reset. Being a willing explorer in the recent Timeless Time event with Tantra Maat, I feel the body mind response to what is upon me these days is moving into the beyond the usual timeline that used to label as familiar time sequences.

Aspects of being human occurring in the so called sequence of a day are experienced as slowed down time and then other experiences feel like they occur in the blink of an eye. For me, I have been sensing various chapters of this lifetime are being rewritten and, in the present time, new chapters are waiting to be recorded. It is occurring as the saying, ‘when one door closes, another door opens (or maybe it is a window). Feeling doors beginning to close as what no longer holds my attention or what I am not longer wiling to give attention to is a meaningful dialogue being observed in the mind and is now finding a voice into the world.

I was particularly struck in exploring Timeless Time what rose into the field to be acknowledged and integrated. The feelings of sorrow, deep longing and honored reflection gave space for the capacity to close one door and allow possibilities for one or more doors to open. While I imagine the potential doors opening and move with the sentience of what is nudging my thought into action, I am very clear the what and how is being in-formed and thus in-forming this being.

During Timeless Time, I observed how the body system could be with the myriad of sensations from spaciousness around the solar plexus and heart in the beginning time of the event. Then moving into the exploration of what Tantra referred to as mechanistic thinking/identity, I tracked the pressure upon my head as a reorganization of neural networks to bring space and give access to being with the mind in deeper relationship with the how of operating in Time. This pressure, like a vice grip, was more challenging when I identified it as a problem I had created. The moment I observed it as a looping or stuck thinking patterns of old, the intensity reduced and an a pathway cleared or a window in Time emerged. By the end of the event, the pressure valve released. The system is now in a new conversation.

This conversation is mostly moving with observation as the foundation. Observing feeling this chapter in life closing has me be present to space for honoring and willingness to move into being with how closing is for me. Being present to space for honoring and willingness to move into being with how closing is for me has opened me up into the value of not rushing to action. Opened up into the value of not rushing to action has me have a different way of listening to move with Time to feel completion while fulfilling into the next.

This is how the Creation Templates are a part of moving and being with the moment. Allowing the full experience is the embrace of how the templates support the being to be in the space of BDW (broader, deeper, wider) and open the mind up into the in-forming into action. The pause is part of the sorting between that gives access to the greater realms to participate with and through us.

Can you enter into your landscape and observe what is completing in you…pause and give observation in Time. Then through refection, move into the birth/rebirth of the mind that lies beyond all the distortion and looping thinking (mechanistic thinking)? As we are in the season of renewal, the spring that brings new life, new thought…what is the window or door you are opening to bring freshness, vitality, and clarity as you pause and take in this next, new deeper breath of being?

The Rest of the Story by Victoria McMahon

creation connection, Creation Templates, curiosity, Observing, Resonance, sentient intelligence, unique & essential, Victoria McMahon creation exercises, Observing, Observing being, sentient intelligence 0

Who doesn’t love a good story. We read books that share the adventures of characters, real or based on ideas that form from the imagination of a writer. We hear people tell stories over meals at the holidays or during travels when encounters occur often with complete strangers. I love to travel and find myself in deep conversations with travel companions or complete strangers. In the past few years, I began to observe how the circumstance of stories, especially when traveling, started being remarkable to me. The conversations would begin naturally and easily with a comment of book one of us was reading or some similar pleasantry. Within what seemed like a brief amount of time, we would be delving into deeper curiosities. And then eventually, we would inquire from each other about our unique passion(s) in life.

For as long as I can recall, I have been passionate about being in observation of life….my Self in this life and how I am in relationship with others. This guiding nature of ‘observing ‘and ‘observing being’ the who and what I am in the matter is my passion. I make choices based on this organic way of being human and over time continue to develop the sentient intelligence that sustains the deepening into My Self. So, when I discovered the Creation Templates, a new translation of this innate and organic process landed in my mental mind. I found language and form for what has guided this life I am exploring.

The Creation Templates expanded the story of what I perceive My Self to be….connected me to the deeper, underlying template of who I am as a unique and essential design of Creation. I am more than the connect the dot experiences of my linear life…how I got through life from point A to point B. While this story is a part of who I am and supports my remembrance, I now know that these memories serve to open me up into the ‘more’ of me. What is my early adulthood, I would have referred to as the “Paul Harvey – The Rest of the Story” idea. The rest of the story awakens for me in each new observing, being fully present to what there is to be present to and opening up into what there is to open up into. This is the delving in deeper with curiosity. This is what the Creation Templates have opened me up into…what Tantra Maat lovingly calls the BWD (Broader, Wider, Deeper).

I frame the Creation Templates through my unique lens just like you do through your unique lens. I happen to be naturally drawn to Movement (Yoga, Tai Chi, Dance) and am often called to explore and develop the deeper aspects of My Self when I use the Creation Templates in movement practices. Typically, I begin with sensing my physical, mental, emotional, and soul systems to feel what is present, rising in the moment, and if some aspect is calling out to be in listening. Different tensions can be present at the same time…so I may find I want to slow down, breath into the experience longer and be with my sentient intelligence of listening to discern what is the priority of my system seeking balance, symmetry, proportion, grace, or beauty. Then, the choice arises…do I dare to follow what my system seeks and explore the BDW (Broader, Deeper, Wider) of the Being. In saying yes, I engage and generate the opening up into possibilities beyond what I know myself to be. And from this observing, I discover the Craving Template that my being called out for me to be in the listening.

Why do I share this story with you, you ask? Well, I want to invite you into your own listening of your story beyond what you know or think you know yourself to be! Develop your sentient intelligence through observing and deepen your registers that open you up into the discovery of your unique and essential design (who and what you came here to be as a human Being). Play and get curious with the ways your naturally move through life….maybe you are like me and love movement or just maybe your explore through other artistic forms. Some of use the Creation Templates with a scientific or analytical mind. Whatever you are passionate about in life, use the Creation Templates to in-form you more deeply! Explore and share the rest of your story with us at the LOC-Institute. And, you might end up finding yourself sharing your passion for the Creation Templates with complete strangers on an airplane someday too!

Local Ohio resident, Victoria McMahon shares experience of She shed burning down. After this occurrence, she describes spending the last year restoring, recovering and reconfiguring. Now in 2022, she tells the story of repurposing that She shed into a S.H.E. (Self Having Embodiment) Shed. Read here from her own words:

2022.01.05 Craving what S.H.E. shed is for me is

C1: Craving what S.H.E. shed is for me is the journey into self-study creates what S.H.E. shed is for me is opening up into Self. Creating what S.H.E. shed is for me is opening up into Self sustains and maintains what S.H.E. shed is for me is the field in which deepening realizations of who and what you are arise. Sustaining and maintaining what S.H.E. shed is for me is the field in which deepening realizations of who and what you are arise embodies what S.H.E. shed is for me is sacred territory.

C2: Craving what S.H.E. shed is for me is the container of all presenced in sacred territory creates what S.H.E. shed is for me is a crucible of alchemical formulations. Creating what S.H.E. shed is for me is a crucible of alchemical formulations sustains and maintains what S.H.E. shed is for me is the blending of vertical and horizontal Time. Sustaining and maintaining what S.H.E. shed is for me is the blending of vertical and horizontal Time embodies what S.H.E shed is for me is percolating in the moments of transmuting trauma into life force energy.

C3: Craving what S.H.E. shed is for me is “I am faithful” creates what S.H.E. shed is for me is listening until listening is fulfilled. Creating what S.H.E. shed is for me is listening until listening is fulfilled sustains and maintains what S.H.E. shed is for me is deep inquiry in Time. Sustaining and maintaining what S.H.E. shed is for me is deep inquiry in Time embodies what S.H.E. shed is for me is awakening research of Soul.

CC: Craving what S.H.E. shed is for me is sacred territory creates what S.H.E. shed is for me is percolating in the moments of transmuting trauma into life force energy. Creating what S.H.E. shed is for me is percolating in the moments of transmuting trauma into life force energy sustains and maintains what S.H.E. shed is for me is awakening research of Soul. Sustaining and maintaining what S.H.E. shed is for me is awakening research of Soul embodies what S.H.E. shed is for me is operating in Meta-Cognition Mind through the ordinary moments.

When I first saw the S.H.E. (She Having Embodiment) post, I got this memory of a commercial about a woman’s she shed burning in the backyard. Her private getaway gone in a burst of flames. My mind giggled as I claimed my body/mind to be the shed for my S.H.E. The more I pondered, the more I realized, this has been what my life’s work has been about…the study of Self. I have been following the inner nudgings to explore the ‘who’ and ‘what’ I take myself to be.

It feels like we are all so often searching for some way of making the life that we have livable. We become driven by this deep craving, which often begins as action in the external environment. We might engage in experiences that support the physical being, emotional bodymind or spiritual connection. Whatever pathway you find yourself on, if you stay with the experience long enough, you begin to notice the reason you started no long fits the realization you find yourself in. Ultimately, you discover you are looking for an intimate relationship with the ‘animating force’ that stands behind your own creation.

For me, building this intimate relationship with Creation is happening in Time. Nurturing the S.H.E. is ongoing and incremental. With this in mind, I invite you to join me in exploring how you are building your S.H.E. shed. Each month I will share experiences and ideas in the LOC Newsletter for creating, sustaining and maintaining and joyfully embodying your new S.H.E. shed….
