Showing Up

Okay...this weekend  I'm with my sister and sister-in-law on Orcas Island. We always have an amazing time with Lenore's bead collection, as she encourages us to create new bracelets or necklaces to our heart's content.

Problem is, now I know that as a type 4, a much different style suits me, and my old standby sensibilities don't work anymore. So my old habits of being drawn to sparkly and long and flourishes and movement are getting in my way! As a type 4, I look so much better now in clear, clean, bold and  direct designs without any of the frills. Think Classic elegant...cool, simple...stylized, straight lines. And it's working!!! I am getting so many comments about the energy shift people are seeing when I "show up" in alignment with the energy that I truly am. No longer are people confused by seeing me dressed as a soft subtle flow-y type, when really I just want to get to the point, get clear, and get results.

Erika, on the other hand, seems to have gracefully made her transition into the long flowing nature of her essential energy. She is bringing in her love of nature into everything she chooses, including determining which of the bazillion beads she has access to fit into the perfect necklace design for her.

Not so easy for me.

But I did engage my love of magic and silent reflection by designing a new bracelet to facilitate a new spiritual practice for myself. And it is stunningly gorgeous. Black, white, silver....calm, cool, still. I adore it. And with my sister's own handwriting etched into it, it's a constant reminder that whenever I show up as my essential energy, she is with me, sharing my journey.

I'd love to hear more about YOUR journey too....so please feel free to comment on this or anything else you've been unfolding for yourself along the way.

  1. ...personalization.... a great way to use creative expression. I am feeling a sort of freedom to not have to work so hard to decide what others would find acceptable...the irony being that i put that expectation on myself-and it turns out that the other's know who i am better than i do... :) okay diving deeper!

  2. Thanks so much for sharing Jennifer! I know you'll come to clarity eventually but there may be some surprises along the way.....what did the "oh no" statement mean??????? :)

  3. it meant that i was so eager to start the course for each type (the part you can't turn back on) and after all the emotions and frustration over the fact that i could not even know myself, i turned to what seemed simple and went for the Type 1. So i pushed the button and there was my Type 1 course. So spent pretty much all day Saturday going through the type one DYT course...at the end i felt okay, but not uplifted ---i felt like a stranger to myself. Then, the next day i awoke with tears in my eyes as i thought how it could be possible for me to not have known who i was--i felt it should be simple as i feel quite conscious of my being and i was a bit in reflection of why I had chose type 1 for myself and that it didn't fit. So, i went back to the face profiling and the yin/yang energies, key words.....and i looked deep and hard into mirror and asked myself again what i saw in my features...and at that moment i saw all the angles in my face...the ones i had seen when i first just brushed the surface of this 'system'. I felt a wave of relief and felt that i had found my dominant type-type 3. So today wrote a mail for assistance and to see if they will allow to let me have the type 3 material. Kristelle mentioned that i could get a consultation with Carol, for a fee..which may be a sane idea seeing that it is Carol who developed the whole 'system' and she's the expert. (I like to go to the source). End of story.... :)

    1. . It doesn't have to be hard, but it can be. I trust the knowing in you. And this is a path of discovery; a process of remembering. There is no race. You may be uncomfortable along the way, but there are treasures to be found alongside of the road that you'd never see if you just zoomed by.

    2. ...thank you for listing those resources Kristelle--the Support team for DYT is great---they allowed me to do a one time change and i can now start viewing the type 3. I feel happier and lighter today and in sync with everything. Being here has been a great support for me too. Thanks.

    4. ....okay i awoke this morning...TYPE 3 !!! yay! :) Understanding how this is all like a metaphor makes it all so much more delightful. When i speak to some it is a challenge to explain how metaphorical dressing up can be...lol...it is so really deep it's amazing. And to use the word 'types'-we all know that this is just a way to express what forms the physical world can take. Today i also awoke with a greater sense of appreciation for these expressions of clothing that is so much part of our seeing world.

      Oh, and p.s the club house meeting on the myth of black is great (if you guys haven't seen it yet)

    5. Yes Jenn...go to the video called Black is Back. YouTube I think. Fascinating and funny to see how black affects the type 2 and the type 3!

  4. I seem to be vacillating between Type 3 and Type 4. I plan to read those two much more in depth to see where I really fall. Probably T4, but I have heard a lot of T3 adjectives in reference to me. Hmm...

    1. Great Kathleen...you've begun! As you can tell above, there is a process to this process that most undergo. And that's the fun of it. As I understand it from Carol, there really is a clear sense of "aha!" when one finds your dominant energy type. The more resources you have to find out at the beginning the better. Do you have the book yet? That's the most complete description, and then the videos help solidify it....or other way 'round, but you get the idea.

      Thanks for sharing here. I'd love for you to tell us how you go along. What insights did you get? What was the turning point for you for reaching your sense of "That's SO Me!" What was most helpful....written word, video, feedback from others? Do Tell!

    2. kbshannon: hi-i found it really helpful to watch the videos on what each type's purse looks like...and what each types closet looks like...they were simple , but it gave me a sense of what i could relate too. See if you can identify with any of those types in their everyday life---as we can't forget about the fact that this is energy profiling so you will be able to feel the different energies. For example it helped me eliminate type 1, as i cannot live in a huge pile of mess..i can stand one, but i don't function well in one----and a type one can for example. or, type four, really precise, and little, detailed...that's the type of purse they had too...and bills in order for example...all those things are hints---doesn't mean your not that type if you like bigger purses, etc...but it gives a feeling for the energies coming out.
