this weekend i experienced the journey intensive. it was, as it says on the tin, intensive.

moving, intense, enlightening, surprising, scary, fulfilling, tear- and laugh-filled… and hard to describe. i wanted to write more about what we did, what exactly the course involved, but i feel like i need to treasure it to myself for now. (there’s also a lot i can’t tell anyone for confidentiality reasons, which is a darn shame let me tell you!)

i definitely got a lot from it, and want to keep using the skills in my daily life, moving forward. i have the CDs now so will definitely keep it up - it’s the most useful thing i’ve found so far. the processes encourage speaking your truth with integrity, even if other people might be shocked by it. admitting what you want and how you feel to yourself. not letting fear hold you back. becoming completely open and vulnerable. falling into universal joy. they also facilitate massive emotional and physical healing. (the founder of the journey healed a basketball sized tumour in a month and a half - true story.)

the most important things i learned this weekend were how to unblock cell memories that prevent physical healing and that i need to accept emotions instead of trying to be happy. happiness can flow when sadness can flow - you have to allow it all and not pretend. it’s scary, but very freeing too. so often people (friends, family, practitioners, near-strangers) have told me what action to take, how to be, and i’ve believed them. now i see that i am free. i do not need to do anything, except relax. i feel how i feel. and that’s ok.

now i’m just wondering how i can logistically and financially manage to do further journey work, because i don’t want to stop now! so i’m just going to put my desire out there and trust that when i’m ready, the path will appear.

and if you’re curious about the weekend, i really, really recommend it. (handily, it’s worldwide).
