Reclaiming Our Noes in the Disconnected Domination Culture (with The Marion Method)In this episode of the Marion Rose Podcast, I explore reclaiming our Noes in the Disconnected Domination Culture and how reconnecting with our “slug wisdom” helps us return to our true power, together.I describe how sensations and feelings such as disgust, discomfort, frustration, annoyance, outrage, resentment, exhaustion, and overwhelm can signal a no in the present (or noes that we have overridden in the past), and how we were trained as babies and children to override these signals through should's, coercion, shaming, punishment, and a loss of love, belonging, or safety.I share how the Marion Method maps and practices support us to untie the “rope” of DDC conditioning, including through connecting with our Inner Loving Presences, tending to our younger parts, and learning the difference between “I don’t want this” and “I am not willing for this.”I share how I came to understand the "Neo No" through a scene in The Matrix movie.00:00 Welcome and the Marion Method00:38 Slug Wisdom Yeses and Noes03:47 Body Signals and Feelings that Communicate our Noes07:06 DDC Conditioning and Shoulds11:28 Tuning the Inner Dial of our Noes15:32 Honouring our Noes20:30 Guilt, Shame, and our Noes in Childhood27:51 Developmental Noes, From in Utero onwards36:57 Elephant Rope and Adult Power39:55 Reclaiming Sensations and Feelings of our Noes44:34 From Not Wanting to Not Willingness50:13 The Neo No from The Matrix Movie56:54 Closing ReflectionThank you for listening!My Website: https://marionrose.net/My Newsletter: https://marion-rose.myflodesk.com/marion-rose-main-listMy Books: https://marionrose.net/books/My Free PDFs & Online Courses (Marion Method): https://marionrose.net/marion-method-courses1:1 Mentoring: https://marionrose.net/mentoring/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_marion_rose_/Love,Marion xoxo
Following Our Yeses: Slug Wisdom, True Choice, and Discernment with the Marion Method.In this episode of The Marion Rose Podcast, I explore our yeses in the Marion Method and how following our yeses helps us connect with and live from the deepest places in ourselves ~ our Soul ~ rather than from Disconnected Domination Culture (DDC) consciousness.I share about “slug wisdom” as our innate body knowing of yes and no, and how feelings and sensations (such as interest, delight, curiosity, disgust, resentment, and overwhelm) guide our discernment, sometimes only after lived experience.I talk about how unmet needs and early conditioning can disconnect us from our needs, desires, and preferences, and how MM practices support reconnection, safety, and true choice.I also explore how DDC can entice and engineer “yeses,” drawing on Edward Bernays' book Propaganda, the shift from needs to desires in the DDC, and mimetic desire from Luke Burgis/René Girard.I offer information, such as how satisfaction and fulfilment are key signs of a true yes.The article I talk about in the episode is here: https://marionrose.net/the-importance-of-our-yeses-in-living-from-our-soul/The link to the Luke Burgis book, Wanting, is here: https://lukeburgis.com/wanting-3/00:00 Welcome02:13 Why Yeses Matter05:49 Love, Will, and Consciousness08:13 Slug Wisdom Explained13:59 A Developmental Map: From Infancy to Callings22:03 DDC Disconnection Patterns45:00 The Needs to Desires Shift49:15 Bernays and Torches of Freedom54:19 Minimalism and Stuff54:37 Bernays and "Engineered Consent"57:13 Mimetic Desire Explained59:57 Enticement and Integrity01:09:27 Yes and No Discernment01:18:02 Satisfaction vs. a Hamster Wheel01:20:42 Fashion and Belonging01:25:59 Slowing Down and Trusting Our Self01:27:48 Montessori and AI Reality01:30:26 Closing Statements and Supporthank you for listening!My Website: https://marionrose.net/My Newsletter: https://marion-rose.myflodesk.com/marion-rose-main-listMy Books: https://marionrose.net/books/My Free PDFs & Online Courses (Marion Method): https://marionrose.net/marion-method-courses1:1 Mentoring: https://marionrose.net/mentoring/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_marion_rose_/Love,Marion xoxo
In this fourth Marion Rose Podcast episode on the Marion Method, I share “tastelets” of the key practices ~ especially Love and lovingness and Will and willingness ~ framed as compasses that help us stay connected to our unique Soul of Love, Will, and Consciousness.In the Love and Lovingness Practices section:I describe the tangible reparenting practices of connecting with our Inner Loving Presences (Inner Loving Mother, Inner Loving Father, Inner Best Friend, Inner Loving Sibling, and Inner Beloved), and I share the different depths at which we can practice this, including receiving support externally, writing with the two-column technique, and “toggling" between ILP and our younger parts.I explain how the feelings that bubble up are part of what need to be loved ("When love is present, what needs to be loved arises"). And I talk about the teapot and teacup of love.I share about The Great Mother and Soul-Version work, reparative phrases as antidotes to charged phrases, and our identity as love.On the Will and Willingness Practices section:I explain embodied yeses and nos, the “Neo No,” and The Willingness Practices (including The Willingness for All Practice),.I also share about the three types of feelings, language choice, Conversations with Life, and creating new cultures beyond The Disconnected Domination Culture.00:00 Welcome02:46 Compasses and Our Yeses and Noes03:41 Love Practices Overview04:56 Inner Loving Mother08:21 The Teacup and Teapot of Love11:12 Toggling and Internalising19:40 Other Inner Presences25:15 The Great Mother and The Soul Version30:26 What These Practices Help Change32:45 The Inner Loving Presence Process37:14 The Reparative Phrases as Antidotes39:47 Will-related Feelings and Power40:33 Our Identity As Love43:58 Our Lineage46:03 Love Spreads48:31 Embodied Yeses And Nos53:38 Neo No Clarity57:10 Willingness Rather than Manifesting01:05:54 The three Types Of Feelings01:11:44 A Language of Choice and Freedom01:13:29 Conversations With Life01:15:17 Reculturing For Change01:17:13 Closing InvitationThank you for listening!My Website: https://marionrose.net/My Newsletter: https://marion-rose.myflodesk.com/marion-rose-main-listMy Books: https://marionrose.net/books/My Free PDFs & Online Courses (Marion Method): https://marionrose.net/marion-method-courses1:1 Mentoring: https://marionrose.net/mentoring/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_marion_rose_/Love,Marion xoxo
In this episode of the Marion Rose Podcast, I continue my series on the Marion Method (MM) by introducing some of the key maps: especially the psychospiritual map of the relationship between the Soul and the personality.I share how maps can support us when we are feeling painful feelings by bringing understanding, meaning, and purpose (without spiritual bypassing).I explain the MM map that we are wise Souls of Love, Will, and Consciousness, and how we develop personalities that are shaped by the family we're born into, and the culture (in this case, the Disconnected Domination Culture (DDC)), and how that often creates a painful gap which at particular time points invites us to tend to that gap, so we experience more and more that our personality is more and more a clear reflection of our Soul.I describe practices including the love plus meaning way of perceiving event, and “toggling” between younger parts and Inner Loving Presences, plus the importance of our slug (yes/no) wisdom, re-parenting, and re-culturing to reconnect with our true Soul nature and our Callings.00:00 Welcome and Series Setup03:23 Why Maps Matter07:05 Soul and Personality Map09:42 DDC and Disconnection12:48 Being Seen as a Child20:41 When We Aren’t Seen25:50 Pain Meaning Practice28:25 Tending to our Younger Parts33:30 Choice and Reparative Meaning39:29 Toggling With Love42:56 Reparenting and Reculturing47:36 Yeses Nos and Will53:39 What we Love56:13 Callings And Meaning57:50 Freedom From Self-Judgment Sticks59:38 Birth And Early Disconnection01:04:03 Teen Years01:08:07 Grief And Loss at a Cultural Level01:14:45 Powerlessness And Will-Hurts01:16:51 The Trance Of The DDC01:20:04 Closing The Gap Between Soul and Personality01:20:18 Consciousness01:28:24 Intrinsic Meaning And Healing01:32:28 Meander Wrap Up And Sharing What's Next💖 Thank you for listening!#psychospiritual #themarionmethod #consciousness🌐 Website: https://marionrose.net/📬 Newsletter: https://marion-rose.myflodesk.com/marion-rose-main-list📚 Books: https://marionrose.net/books/🌿 Free PDFs & Online Courses (Marion Method): https://marionrose.net/marion-method-courses🌹 1:1 Mentoring: https://marionrose.net/mentoring/🌸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelivingawareparentingpodcast/🌹❤️ Love,Marion xoxo
(Psychosynthesis, Aware Parenting, Nonviolent Communication, and The Field Project)In this second episode in my Marion Method series, I focus on my learning lineage and name the four main streams that have profoundly shaped the maps, models, practices, and processes of the Marion Method: Psychosynthesis (by Roberto Assagioli, as taught by Joan and Roger Evans), Aware Parenting (Aletha Solter), Nonviolent Communication (Marshall Rosenberg), and the Field Project (Philip Golabuk).I describe key influences from each - such as Soul/personality, Love and Will from Psychosynthesis, feelings and needs and non-punitive discipline from Aware Parenting, language, culture, guilt, and willingness from NVC, and yeses and noes, willingess, and conversations with Life from The Field Project.I share about how they weave together in my work, and why I deeply value acknowledging sources, honouring lineage, and invite you to explore the original teachings directly.00:00 Welcome to the Podcast00:15 Why I Record at Home02:13 Lineage and Four Streams04:58 Breadcrumb Moments07:07 Discovering Psychosynthesis15:21 Interconnectedness23:59 Soul and Personality26:39 Love and Will34:57 The External Unifying Center39:29 Gratitude and Life Threads42:20 Introducing Aware Parenting45:37 Finding Aletha Solter’s Work47:52 Feelings48:59 The Paradigm Shift to Aware Parenting51:01 Why Mentorship Matters54:16 Human Nature01:02:29 Three Aspects of Aware Parenting01:05:17 Gratitude and Ongoing Learning01:08:29 Parents and Self-Compassion01:12:29 Reparenting and the Marion Method01:17:35 Discovering Nonviolent Communication01:24:40 Thoughts vs. Feelings Breakthrough01:26:33 My Three Types of Feelings Map01:31:08 Language, Guilt, and Choosing Words01:34:00 Willingness and Coercion01:35:51 Domination Culture and Language01:37:57 Needs and Feelings Lists01:40:17 Immersion and Weaving Maps01:41:23 The Field Project and The Decisive Question01:45:45 Power01:51:14 Conversations With Life01:53:59 No and Will01:56:07 The Marion Method Emerges02:02:51 Honouring Lineages and Finding the Places of Contrast02:09:28 GratitudeIf you want to find out more about these four paradigms, here are details:Psychosynthesis:https://www.psychosynthesis.org/about/what-is-psychosynthesishttps://kennethsorensen.dk/en/psychosynthesis/Aware Parenting:https://awareparenting.com/Nonviolent Communication:https://www.cnvc.org/The Field Projecthttps://www.fieldproject.net/about#psychospiritual #themarionmethod #consciousness🌐 Website: https://marionrose.net/📬 Newsletter: https://marion-rose.myflodesk.com/marion-rose-main-list📚 Books: https://marionrose.net/books/🌿 Free PDFs & Online Courses (Marion Method): https://marionrose.net/marion-method-courses🌹 1:1 Mentoring: https://marionrose.net/mentoring/🌸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelivingawareparentingpodcast/🌸 The Living Aware Parenting Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livingawareparentingpodcast🌹❤️ Love,Marion xoxo
