Emergence

The SHEVA Method of Emergence

The SHEVA Method of Emergence and finding your own essence is primarily about grounding and connecting with your own authentic energy. We are in constant collaboration with others and participate in situations that require us to be consciously present. Developing tools to stay awake and centered creates more balance and structure for a strong foundation. For example, letting go of what we think must be, ought to be, or have to be is often called “letting go of perfect pictures.” Holding on to our desire for a perfect outcome in any situation can be disappointing when it does not turn out the way we wanted. Identifying this as a repeated pattern—or energetic loop of constant disappointment—can affect the body and cause the collapse of the third chakra. Letting go of the desire for a perfect outcome is a great tool in finding our authentic energy.

Finding our essence means merging with the authentic self. It requires us to let go of the habitual patterns (or fixations) that keep us in resistance. Certainly, life has its obvious responsibilities, which cannot be avoided, but the concept of finding our own boundaries, patterns, and what affects us helps define our energy consciously. It keeps us awake to the traps we sometimes put ourselves in. We all have behaviors and anxieties that keep us in resistance to enjoying life as it is. This work is about the probability of change for those who desire to connect to the essence of physical, emotional, and spiritual collaboration. This process provides a creative and deeper understanding of emerging self-love and compassion for others.

As an example of emergence, one of my long-time clients had a herniated disc and was told by his primary care physician that he needed to see a surgeon and get an MRI immediately or he might never walk again.

When he came to me for energy work, he was already scheduled for surgery but was open to the idea of resolving his herniated disc with an alternative approach. During our session, deeper underlying issues were revealed about the pain he was carrying and he allowed the energy to move by addressing the emotional impact and suffering. In doing so, the hernia disintegrated naturally, which made surgery unnecessary. We will dive deeper into the details of this remarkable story and others in the second section of this book when we look at embodying this work.

SHEVA is a self-healing process that requires you to be present to the collaboration between your body, heart, mind, and soul.

Wherever you are in your journey, remember that all experience is sacred. Everything that comes up for you is valid, whether you perceive it to be right or wrong. Learning to trust what might be missing, disconnected, or resisted can guide you in understanding yourself more intimately, while experiencing life as it is.

If you choose to take your journey further, begin to play with the idea of curiosity, creativity, vulnerability, and accountability as ingredients for change. SHEVA acknowledges the basic human desires to feel safe, to create, to let go, to love, to communicate clearly, to integrate, and to know that we are all one.

It’s important to have a sense of innocence, faith, humor, and courage when we are looking to embody the desires of the heart.

The core of this work is awareness of our own energy to support change. When we are energetically misaligned, the body is likely to show us through pain. The mind might chatter incessantly and the spirit might feel disconnected. It is no mistake that endocrinology—the study of how stress, emotions, and trauma affect our bodies—is prevalent. As you learn to embrace your own energetic awareness, it will become an intimate communicator for your health and well-being. Self-discovery begins with bridging the gap between self-doubt and self- certainty through grounding, acceptance, and love! By putting this energy into action, you can create a strong foundation to manifest your soul purpose in everyday life.

As one SHEVA participant remarked: “Wow—how we neglect ourselves. Sometimes we realize it only when we decide to take a workshop that someone has suggested.”

This work allows us to have a new and deeper understanding of each other and ourselves.

By moving through resistance, we can experience positive energy and emotional relief. We experience lightness from letting go of our old, stuck energy. When we experience our own positive energy, we reconnect with links to the past and forge pathways to a future in which there is an undeniable connection to the here and now.

It’s a natural direction to grow from this work and experience mystery, beauty, discovery, and elation. Through understanding our own energy and embracing our gifts it is possible to heal by establishing personal boundaries and finding the authentic self.

A therapist called me and said that she had ignored the signs for too long and needed to understand what she was experiencing. So I said, “What are you experiencing?”

"I can't really explain it,” she replied, “but I just know things and I am beginning to trust it more. I guess I need validation that I am on the right track. I want to investigate this further and utilize it in my life.”

During our subsequent session, it was revealed that she no longer wanted to resist her intuitive abilities. As I observed her energy, I noticed that self-doubt was interfering with her ability to know, so I encouraged her to believe in her intuition and use it as a tool to integrate and trust. Only through acceptance could she embrace her gifts.

If you desire change, but you are not quite sure how it will manifest, trust in the process.
