Program Title: “Transmute to Transcend.” Our May 18, 2024 program will feature a talk by Lisa Jacenich, Staunton-based educator, facilitator and integration specialist for emotional intelligence/self-regulation.
Lisa is passionate about sharing, equipping, and supporting those ready to do “the work” with the intention to maximize human potential resulting in ripple effects impacting the world. This presentation is an overview of how to recognize limiting patterns, how to identify underlying beliefs that no longer serve and how to reset the “baseline” from a state of hypervigilance to one of peace, abundance, and freedom. It’s tricky business trying to navigate our 3D lives and higher consciousness. This is especially true when we have not been taught nor modeled the skills of emotional intelligence (EQ)/ Self-regulation. It’s an “inside job” that leads to the embodiment of one’s true essence and core values while navigating the “realities” of daily life. This inner work is the pre-requisite and stable foundation for authentic self-expression, harmonious inter-relating, co-habitation and adaptive collaborations both personal and professional. It takes courage, resilience, and determination to move past our memorized set of behaviors, emotional reactions and unconscious habits. These hard-wired attitudes, beliefs and perceptions make it difficult to alchemize the programming and conditioning into states of being that more authentically represent each individual’s unique skills and gifts.
Many people spend most of the day in the stress response when the body/mind commits all of its resources to the extremities (to prepare to run, fight or hide). When the body/mind are in the stress response the digestive system shuts down, natural immune functions are put on hold, and it isn’t possible to think creatively. We have been gifted with this human experience. We are outfitted with both an autonomic (automatic) nervous system designed for survival as well as the gift of awareness/ consciousness. It’s from this “observer” role that we can override the automatic conditioning to create results more in keeping with the lives we choose to create in accordance with our values.
Another not–to–be–missed program for all who can attend! See you there!
