Death, Rebirth & The 7 Stages Of Healing

IGNITE U PODCAST

So often we try to move from where we are right now to exactly where we want to be.

It has almost become a trend in the transformational space to make a quantum leap. And yes, even though this is possible this is the exception and not the rule.

For most, the transformational process is much longer, more arduous and as a matter of fact much more painful. This is because all the energy we need to create the new self is already tied up in a jumble of emotional addictions, personality traits, identities, beliefs and life situations that make us who we are now. Therefore, in order to move on from them, a host of things around us must die.

In this episode Ryan and Cam break down the 7 stages of personal healing and transformation and break down exactly how to navigate each of them.

26:39 Stage 1 - Being stuck in "denial" and justifying that things actually don't have to change.

29:43 Stage 2 - Using "anger" to suppress fear and fight to keep things the way they are

30:53 Stage 3 - Shifting the perspective to "bargaining" in an attempt to maintain the status quo and not dip deeper into pain

32:35 Stage 4 - Entering a state of "depression" to avoid feeling the deep tooted sadness that comes with loss

36:35 Stage 5 - "Acceptance" of the present situation and the process of something coming to an end

40:30 Stage 6 - Being "reborn" on the other side and standing infant of a blank canvass

44:51 Stage 7 - Entering the "creating" phase where cultivation of the new self really starts

46:47 - Why most transformational programs and plans don't work

This episode will challenge you. Especially if you are facing a tough life situation or decision.

We all want the "quick fix pill" but that just isn't the usual course of action. In fact, wanting this usually prolongs things even more than if we simply rolled up our sleeves and dove right in to the 7 steps listed above.

Like we said above, that's not to say that quantum leaps don't happen. Challenge is, they require a ton of energy. And if your energy is tied up in the perpetuation of denial and anger, how will you ever get yourself into a high enough state to cultivate a quantum leap?

Its simple... You won't.

So sit down, poor yourself a delicious potion and let's get into it. You have magic to make!
