Yesterday I was putting some final technical touches to my Inner Loving Presence Process for Entrepreneurs Course, and I was testing it all out to see if it worked, but it didn’t – when I tested the sign up process, I didn’t get added.
So I did The Willingness Practice with myself,
“Am I willing for people to buy this course?”
And the answer was a hesitant yes…. which means not really a yes.
So I went and did more of The Willingness Practice.
My Inner Loving Mother gave me some empathy for the fear; “I hear that you’re afraid when you imagine people signing up. I’m here with you, I’m listening. Your fear is welcome with me. I hear your fear.”
And as can often happen with The Willingness Practice, I sensed that I needed to go back and do some work from the past, and do an Inner Loving Presence Process.
I asked myself, “What does this remind me of?”
And an image came of being a child, and holding a book, and having it taken from me.
It wasn’t actually something I consciously remember, but I trust those things, so I followed it.
There was an ‘aha’ moment – I realised that as a child, I got something I loved, and it was taken from me.
So the fear coming up in the here and now is that if I receive something I want (people signing up for my new course), then it will be taken from me.
So I went and did an Inner Loving Presence Process.
I felt myself as a 5 year old, in the playground, and I remembered a concrete tunnel that we used to have in the playground. My Inner Loving Crew came and joined me there.
And I went through the whole process, and when I got to the part where another child was about to take my book, my ILF said to her, “I won’t let you take the book from Marion. It’s hers and she’s enjoying looking at it.”
And all of my Inner Loving Crew were there with me, supporting me in loving that book and protecting me from having others take it from me.
They said things like, “I see how much you’re loving that book. And you get to keep on looking at it for as long as you want to. We won’t let anyone take it from you. You get to choose. It’s your book. We’re here with you. We’re supporting you.”
I felt such a huge sense of relief in my body. WOW! I could keep my book. My ILC honoured me wanting to keep it. And they would protect me from having it taken from me.
I felt joyful, and I feel joyful again now when I connect with that support from my ILC.
I finished the rest of the ILPP, and came out the other side, and went back to The Willingness Practice.
And I asked myself, “Am I willing for people to buy this course?”
And the answer was a full, resounding, “YES!”
So I went back to my computer, feeling that sense of “YES” in my body, and calmly looked at the Zapier integration I’d done.
With that body sense, and willingness to have, I straight away saw that there was one tiny thing that I needed to change.
So I changed it, and everything worked.
What I LOVE about this is that it’s such a clear demonstration of how The Willingness Practice and the Inner Loving Presence Process work together and create healing that creates outer change.
I also love that it’s so relevant to parenting.
Being an advocate for our child, stepping in and preventing other children from taking things from them, might seem like a small thing, but it can have powerful effects not only on them now, but also on them in 40 years time!
And if our child has repeatedly had things taken from them, we can also help them heal from those experiences, through power-reversal games, role play, and listening to their tears with loving compassion.
What I love is, that it is through being immersed in Aware Parenting, and helping my children in situations like these; that I also learnt to help my inner children heal from past hurts in ways that profoundly affect my day-to-day life.
You can still get $30 off the Inner Loving Presence Process for Entrepreneurs (the usual price is $150), until Monday morning, 8am Sydney time.
