Happiness Monthly get together – February 2018

Written notes for today’s session

I’ve been open to understanding how to keep everyone connected from here on, as the new happiness program starts, knowing that that is concerning some of you.  That’s not surprising, we’ve become a family over the past year and a bit.

I wondered whether to give you your own facebook group, but I know some of you are not at all happy with Facebook as a tool and don’t use it.  Even if we did do that, how would it work after this year?  Would you invite some of the people from the new happiness program to join your group?  How would you decide who to invite?   And then I felt yucky about the ones that may not get such an invitation. What would that exclusion do to them?  We all know now how even unspoken stuff – SPECIALLY unspoken stuff impacts on the energy of others.

What do YOU think about the potential for exclusion here and what it feels like to be on the end of exclusion?

Another option I thought was that we could share an email list, so everyone can contact anyone else.  I still felt that there was some “yuck”  potential – we’d have to be careful that this list too didn’t get used in such a way as to become excluding of others too.  This option does feel better though, once we talk about this exclusion stuff.

I also thought, what about we meet for half an hour before every Happiness call, both the weekly ones coming up and the monthly ones that will follow?  Kind of an extra grounding, balancing, supporting, connecting chat.

 

Here’s some other stuff that might affect how we stay in touch

I’ve been having visions of how the new Happiness program will unfold.  It’s a Living Story.  The name at the moment (and still feels like it’s going to get tweaked) is:

             Practical Happiness for Animal Lovers

How they can help us to Live Breathe and Grow Happiness

There’s going to be an incredibly INexpensive way to follow the program – to listen to the recordings as they unfold – something like $12 AUD – the price of an e-book.

Then there’s going to be a bunch of people who are live on the call who are closely mentored by me and the staff here AND YOU LADIES too if you want to – mostly through a Facebook page with lots of extra support but occasionally with private sessions with me.

At first I thought that was going to be limited to about 20 people, but Narel pointed out how brilliant everyone is now and how our amplified field from the last happiness group can hold and support a LOT more people than that.  So I thought we’d be guided by The Universe as to numbers.

I’m going to publicly offer 5 full scholarships and 5 half scholarships, but in reality no one is going to miss out on what they need because of lack of money.  The cost of this second group is around $1250 for the 6 week program.

At the end of the six weeks, we’re going to go on once a month like we did last time – open to both groups – at something like $5 per month. I’m still thinking this part through because it only just occurred to me as I was writing. Maybe there’s two separate groups here for this too?  Hmmm yes I think there is – I’ll allow that to unfold. 🙂

The program is going to have an addition to last year;

There’ll be a support group of Reiki 2’s

There’ll be a financial support group and we’ve already got a start to that.

How the Support Team might work

I’m just telling you the following, to give you an idea of how being a part of the Support Team might work, so you can have a think about it.

In the lead up to this new Happiness program, we’re going to focus on small bite size pieces of training / thinking through how things are going to work and how we can all best step up into our own unique strengths this year – gearing ourselves up for it. 🙂

I’m smiling here – you may not have considered how amazing you all are and remember how far you’ve come since we did our original Happiness program.   AND we’re not expected to be in some sort of divine perfectly Present space to be on the Support Team.  We’re human and we’ll make what someone thinks is a mistake ( there’ll be a reason for THAT too in the divine order) and someone else on the team will step in and facilitate the expansion of understanding – that’s the beauty of a Support TEAM.  And if WE can’t help someone, then someone else can and will.

If you choose to join in the support team, we’re going to be holding the energy for all sorts of people in all sorts of situations and degrees of problems from spiritual people looking for an extra lift, to people in deep crap.

Here’s the sort of thing we might come across with people in the group.  If you’re interested in being on the support team, notice if your third eye closes on any of this issues.  That could be a Quiet Mind subject. 🙂 Or a subject for “deciding to notice what you believe in”

We cold would expect to have people with mild to long term depression and even mental illness,; people who are struggling with loved ones dying or even those who are dying themselves (I felt my third eye close a little on that one as I wrote these notes, so clearly I have something to understand there!);  people who seriously struggling with abundance issues, maybe even  losing their homes; people who are working in crappy situations who feel that they’re stuck and can’t change it;  people in horrible relationships, even abuse; the full range of divorces, from those that can be rescued with some expansive understanding, all the way to the angry bitter divorces; people who are suffering conflict and violence, maybe even those who are dishing out violence – and so on and so on – you get the idea.

Being on the Support Team doesn’t mean that you have to be some kind of saint and be totally Present all the time on every issue that crops up in the Facebook group.  If we’re triggered by something, i.e. if we CAN’T Hold Space without feeling crappy and if Quietening your mind with your horse/s doesn’t work – then you’d reach out to me and I’d organize some support and if I’m triggered I promise I’ll be reaching out too.

Being able to Hold Space effectively, still wouldn’t mean that it’s you who would need to answer someone who is posting a problem / issue on the Facebook page and nor does it even mean that person needs to be answered right away (except to say something like “I hear you.  I’ll inbox you and arrange some support”) Once we’ve acknowledged that they’ve been heard, the Facebook interface means that we have time to sit back and Feel into the perfect answer for someone.

Those of you with particular experience with an issue someone’s having, might feel drawn to share YOUR experiences.

As a general rule we won’t be offering advice to people, that is almost always inappropriate – although I imagine there may well be exceptions to that.  We’ll talk about that on a case by case basis should we feel like we NEED to offer someone advice.

What we can do instead of offering advice – and if our third eye is wide open to our inner guidance system – is to talk about our own experiences that we think will help them.   Or we might be drawn to email someone else in our group and draw their attention to someone having a problem similar to one they’ve experienced in the past.  I think it would be a good idea to copy me into those conversations so I have a handle on what’s going on.

 

Sooo… You can choose to join the Support Team or not  – AND YET STILL be part of this new program as it unfolds.  Even if the idea of being on the Support Team is not something you wish to even think about, you can STILL be part of this new happiness program as it unfolds.

You can think you’re not ready now, but choose to DESIRE to support other people on the facebook page, as a big picture thing and then I’ll consider my job is to provide training / things to think about to facilitate that – if you wanted to. Does that make sense?

To re-iterate – we do not have to perfect saintly beings to be a support to others.  I’m sure as heck not. 🙂 We just have to smile and be the best we can be in the moment and to know that we’ll ALL be part of a team – facilitating whatever it is that will support that person’s change place in the best way for THEM.

Whew that feels expansive!

The financial side

Being an active part of the Support Team will have a financial benefit, that will start operating once we (that’s you and I) consider you trained.  You might choose to take the financial benefit in healing sessions, video lessons for you and your horse, programs, or money.  I’m guessing the choice may at least partly depend on how much time you end up spending on this.

1. Let me know by email if you’re interested at being – or eventually being – part of the Support Team.
2. Let me know if you want your email address to be shared amongst the monthly Happiness group.

Now… what do YOU all think about how we should keep this group in touch?

1. Facebook group (not everybody can do)
2. Email list
3. Expand into the new Happiness group
4. I could make a special section in the forum for you, that only you people could see.  BUT the forum is playing up occasionally and needs updating, so I’d like to get that done first.  It’s VERY weird how I keep trying to get people to do that update and it hasn’t happened yet!  And how weird that this fourth option is an afterthought, that has only come after the idea of the Support Team has unfolded?  I wonder if the forum will get updated easily now?  lol!
