Ideas about the Spirit Level Need “Longing For The Divine”

Posted on January 13, 2011 by merylchodoshweiss | 2 comments

If you have a technical Resonance Repatterning question you would like to bring up for discussion, you can post it on the blog by submitting it as a comment underneath the most recent post in the Resonance Repatterning Q& A’s category.

Here is the latest question sent in by Joie Jacobsen.

“I was just in session and for the first time the spirit-level need that came up for the earlier experience was #20. Longing for the Divine. My understanding is that all spirit-level needs are components of a fully expressed spirit and the lack of any of these needs leads to feelings of hopelessness and resignation. I’m confused, and so was my client. How can longing – defined as “a strong, persistent desire or craving, especially for something unattainable or distant”, be an enhancement of spirit? I muscle checked if it was appropriate for us to modify it to “Connection to the Divine” and got an “ON” response. I’d love to hear your opinion and feelings about this.”

I am not a theologian but this is one way I have viewed this confusing need

If a person did not on some level yearn for reunification with God, and have the quest to be “home’ in God’s presence, they could not be fully expressed humans.

If they did not have this desire to know and experience the Divine they could lapse into hopelessness and resignation.

It seems to me that this is one of our most human spirit-level needs and it is based on the illusion that we are separate from God.

As long as we experience separation from each other and God, we yearn for the reality of the Oneness.

I’m also wondering what other people think about this so please, if you have any thoughts about this, please post them as a comment.

A Small Question from “The Abundance Repatterning”

Posted on January 12, 2011 by merylchodoshweiss | 1 comment

When we were in Group on January 9th, one Student Practitioner used The Abundance Repatterning ( Pp. 151-163 in the Transforming Meridians and Five Elements manual by Chloe Faith Wordsworth) with her partner.

She was not sure whether or not she should say “we need to identify the non-coherent Wood Element Quality”? out loud and “we need to identify the non-coherent Fire Element Quality”? out loud.. for each of the five elements each time they all needed to be muscle checked by the practitioner. (Pp.153-158, Pp 159-162, 2002 edition)

We agreed that using the muscle checking script “We need little a, b, c, d, e?” , with the letters referring to each of the five elements, made more sense because this use of language cut down the time spent on the mechanical task of muscle checking.

Less time involved with the mechanics leaves more time for direct interaction and communication with the client. The shortened script also facilitates more flow in the session and greater partnership between the client and the practitioner.

This is a good reminder on how to shorten the mechanical aspects in every session and Repatterning . While muscle checking for what is needed, the practitioner merely muscle checks letter and number names instead of reading text out loud that is not of importance in the client’s session at that time.

How I Nurture Myself in Transition from the Old into the New Year

Posted on January 7, 2011 by merylchodoshweiss | Leave a comment

On my first senior December 30^th birthday my aunt’s email to me said “You are one of the first BB’s [Baby Boomers] to reach this milestone–but, then again, you always were a trailblazer.”

Being the person I am and having a New Year’s Eve Eve birthday has caused me to approach the end of the year and the beginning of the new one in a way that I consistently find most satisfying to me.

I save my very favorite holiday attraction, viewing The Stars at the Time Warner Center, for last. What I love about this color, sound and light show is the fine quality of the holiday music played, the healing intensity of the clear colors and how the play of color, light and sound are intrinsically uplifting, exciting and peaceful.

That’s where I often go on the next to the last day of the year. I also choose, if I’m lucky, a great movie and have a satisfying meal out with loved ones. (This year we saw The King’s Speech, www.kingsspeech.com which I found to be an extremely fine movie- a real treat from beginning to end.)

On the last day of the year I continue to celebrate- often by having lunch with friends. Petaluma, www.petalumarestaurant.com , has good food, reasonable prices, good service and it is very close to my home.

This would be a great place for my students to go to relax after a day in class. This is how the restaurant looked as they prepared it for their New Year’s Eve celebration.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

On the first day or two of the New Year I take care of myself and my practice in the following ways: I do a Repatterning for myself to make sure that I am resonating with my new resolutions; In a Repatterning I clear any remnants of lingering issues or discomforts from the previous year; I organize my business and personal record keeping; I maximize the positive potential of my resolutions by including them in the Group Repatterning that we usually do for the January Group.

Having done most of that, this year I have added something new that I hope you might want to do as well. I added a new Intention for other people to help me manifest by their looking at the Love From NYC page of this blog.

To add your own Intentions, just go to the top of the blog where the tab says Love From NYC and instead of commenting on my Intentions, or the Intentions of other persons, just add your Intention as a comment for all of us to help energize.

As more people use the page, I hope that we all will report on our successes in manifesting those intentions.

Finally, here is one of the songs played Under The Stars at the Time Warner Center.(On December 17^th, 2010 I posted pictures of Dizzie’s Club- which is part of Jazz at Lincoln Center housed on the fifth floor of The Time Warner Center.)

I hope that you enjoy this show, which I found on U-Tube. In person I find it to be a very powerful healing modality. Maybe next year you’ll come to see it for yourself!
