A GUIDED MEDITATION

• I want you to close your eyes and go back in time


• To a time when there was no boundary between your feelings and thoughts and the outside world.


• A time when you were free and didn’t have to double-check yourself.


• (let a minute go by)


• What do you notice about your surroundings?
  
  
  
  • are you wearing a favorite piece of clothing?
  
  
  • Are you opening a favorite box that contains everything important to you?
  
  
  • Are you at a favorite relative’s house and is something special that smells delicious in the over?
  
  
  
  


• There’s a name for this set of physical experiences: Axis Mundi – the place where what is going on inside you connects with the outside world and you feel whole.


• We’ll come back to this.

SOURCE OF FEAR OF REJECTION

• Fear of rejection arises from feelings of not being good enough, of feeling unable to deal with the ups-and-downs on life on one’s own.


• So, where does it come from? Trauma.


• When we lack the power to protect ourselves in a traumatic situation in order to cope it can be easier to just deny the trauma occurred.


• The problem with this is we also wall off the associated part of our psyche and the skills/capabilities that go with it.


• We also get stuck in our head which can kill sales and the ability to perform.

SOLUTION

• Focus on others.


• Give to them what you need yourself.


• By seeing yourself giving to others it eases the path towards giving to yourself, i.e., reclaiming that part of you walled off with the trauma.
