Hi Gwen!

Spiritual Journey to Unconditional Love

​

On November 7, 2017 it will be exactly 11 months since my dark journey began.  At that time my soul was broken, incredible sadness and loss at the destruction of my marriage.  What began with blame and finger pointing, turned to shame and guilt, then deep sadness at the things I could not change about myself.  Transmuted to attempts to tear down walls I had built for protection.  All of this in an effort to understand the greatest gift of all, unconditional love.  Every step of this process involved the discovery of a new talent to be exercised for my betterment.  I feel the need to share my journey with others, so that when YOU meet loss, you too will have a place to start.  In laymen’s terms – what does it look like to remove your ego, how do you recognize the mirror, what really is that still small voice you hear, and how do you listen to it. 

 

Keep forever in your mind, that I know absolutely nothing, other than what I have gone through.  I am not an expert, I fall down, fail in my attempts, am inconsistent, and make mistakes like the rest of us.  I hope that this can be a place for others to come and share their thoughts on their healing journey.  I am open to discussion on other options and ways to heal (I love learning).  I will not tolerate bashing, I will not be vilified for my thoughts and beliefs, nor do I allow others to experience the same within this framework.  Nor will I hold your hands, your journey is after all your journey in life.  What I have to offer may not be for you, however you will have to do the work required to heal yourself if you wish to heal.

Your Root Needs

Maslow's Hierarchy simply states that there are levels all humans are motivated to operate in different ways based upon the level at which they are in their current life. People can operate in some of these levels simultaneously.



However, when we begin life, or any new project, walk a new path, or suffer a loss we typically start at the most basic needs. The physiological and safety needs typically come first. To have your physiological needs met you need money, a roof over your head, etc. Along with that comes the security and safety. You will not feel safe or secure if you do not have a home, or food and the like. Your Basic Needs are your Root Needs.


There are some basic principles that come with those root needs:

  • We live in the fiat system your relationship with money needs to be sound. How do you consciously address your money issues?

  • Your goal for your root need is to go beyond what you had before. Fear should NOT be a factor. What fears do you have about your physiological needs?

  • Operate from the standpoint you WILL ACHIEVE the goal. How much belief do you have in yourself?

  • If your psychological standpoint is positive, the steps you take to meet the root need will be easier. How do you intend to address your psychological standpoint?

  • There are always options, a way to meet your root need with a Win-Win. What options do you have?

Write the root needs down, from the Needs, Wants, and Desires standpoint. This list may come in handy as you move on in your voyage. ​
