Dear Common Awakening Friends,

A number of years ago I was trained in Hypnosis. One of the hallmarks of Erickson’s method was interrupting patterns Ericksonian Hypnosis Method. Erickson was a keen observer of human behavior and he recognized that making simple adjustments to how one does a routine can alter behavior, getting rid of what is unwanted to increase what is desired and research and other methods show how effective this can be Pattern Interrupting.

Just this week I felt fresh energy rise to change an exercise routine and I was surprised how this impacted me. It brought newness to my morning routine, but it also influenced my day in unexpected ways. As I noticed this, I remembered Erickson. I was shifting a simple life pattern and the ripple effects extended into my life in ways that surprised me.

Do you have a pattern in your life that you’d like to shift? Is there something that has felt stuck or unmoving? Have you felt the press for fresh energy to rise in some part of your daily routine? Making a simple addition to the steps of your routine or taking something away can help you. Erickson would have people do crazy things like walk around the house 3 times before grabbing that longed for pint of ice cream or humming a tune before reaching for that unwanted substance. He was interrupting what was rote, routine, and unconscious bringing fresh energy and awareness that created miraculous change.

We can play with pattern interruption by changing something in our daily routine and by using our intuition—our subtle sense skills—to open our awareness beyond what is seen. When we harness the power of our expanded sense awareness we naturally enter aliveness in a fresh, new way. This creates change. This alters patterns. This opens us to what is ready to shift to align us with our higher purpose.

The challenge for all of us is to stay awake and not be lulled back into the pull of a pattern. That is exactly where our upcoming course Energetic Presence can give you the boost you need. We start the live portion of our class this Thursday, August 18 at 1pm EST. We will meet each week to spark and facilitate the development of your Subtle Senses as you learn to live from your awake Center. Whether you show up live or watch later, this super-charged 5 weeks can give you the boost you need to get past stuckness and open into a new way of seeing, knowing, sensing, and hearing to create the lasting change you seek.

Shift something small today!

In expectation,

Annmarie
