“When I let myself be what I am without judging then I change.” This statement is one description of what a person might expect in a weekend workshop with Cherie McCoy, the leading practitioner of Self -Acceptance Training in the United States.
So many were blessed this past weekend as Purely Living Wellness hosted Cherie McCoy, into our healing space. I am grateful for the 12 people who gathered for a weekend of emotional healing release. These people found their voice and learned the importance of grounding to the earth that supports us. They learned to become aware of their own energy field, and the connection between the sub-conscious mind and the physical body. They learned that they have the ability to help their own bodies heal from pain.
We are suppressed in our western culture. We put on strong faces, even though we grieve deeply inside. We hold back our voices instead of yelling at those who have wronged us. We serve others without question, or consideration for our own health and our own needs. And so much more! All of these emotions, that we bury, affect our physical being. Our cells (and according to a speaker in the latest Body Electric summit) our very own electro-magnetic energy field – becomes toxic with trapped emotions.
Self-Acceptance Training guides each person into acknowledging their truth. It teaches us to get out of our minds with our non-serving stories and tap into our sub-conscious feelings. We learn to pay attention to where in/on the body those feelings are being outwardly manifested. Using basic Gestalt principles people learn that sound, the power of one’s own voice, is healing. We learn that movement, allowing the body to create energy from head to toe, is not only healing, but necessary!! We learn that when our body responds to a spoken statement, we are speaking our truth – whether pleasant, or not so pleasant. We learn that we create our own reality. We learn that we can do this work on our own!
There is so much power – being in the “womb” of a positive energy field as the circle of 12 comes together to develop their own awareness. The person in the center (f they so choose to be), doing their work, is in a safe place. Each person’s story, often resonates with several in the group. We learn the power of our words. We all heal together, yet we are individually responsible for our own healing.
At this weekend's S.A.T. workshop all were gifted with a rainbow from God just as day one of the Saturday workshop wraps up…a symbol of light and hope. We are grateful for the new friendships, the bond we share as a new tribe of self-acceptance, and living in the light and the love that we are.
Here is what one attendee has to say about Cherie’s weekend workshop:
“I left the retreat feeling amazing and saw beautiful reminders of all that I have learned. The rainbow on Saturday, a license plate that read “CHOOSE” as I departed on Sunday. I choose to heal myself is all I kept thinking. I have not felt such a peace as I am feeling right now in a very long time. I am so happy! I feel empowered and blessed to have been a part of this work!” T.B.
We, at Purely Living Wellness, are grateful that Cherie McCoy is willing, to board a plane from California at age 81, to serve those God brings together - may her great health continue to provide many more years of workshops in Wisconsin. There is such a need!
I will finish today’s post with words from Cherie as we finished with morning meditation to begin the day’s work, “You are God’s perfect child. We love you exactly the way you are.”
In peace, love and light,
Rita Shimniok
