The first step in any transformative journey is developing awareness - of our bodies, our patterns, and the present moment. In Month 1 of the ASCEND Program, we lay this essential foundation.

The Power of Beginning Where You Are

Most of us have spent years disconnected from our bodies and true selves. We've developed sophisticated coping mechanisms, numbing strategies, and survival patterns that once served us but may now limit our growth. This disconnection isn't a failure—it's how we've protected ourselves in a world that often feels overwhelming.

The journey of healing begins not with trying to "fix" these patterns but with simply becoming aware of them with compassion and curiosity.
 
Awareness as the Foundation of Transformation

In Month 1 of the ASCEND journey, we focus entirely on building this foundation of awareness. Why? Because lasting change cannot happen without it. When we operate on autopilot, repeating the same unconscious patterns, transformation remains elusive no matter how many techniques we learn or practices we attempt.


Awareness creates the possibility of choice, and choice creates the possibility of change.

 The Four Pillars of Month 1


Our first month together focuses on four essential areas of awareness development:


1. Nervous System Awareness

Many of us have never been taught to recognize the signals our nervous system constantly sends us. Through simple daily practices, you'll learn to identify when you're in states of activation (fight/flight), shutdown (freeze), social engagement, or regulation. This awareness alone can dramatically shift your relationship with anxiety, stress, and emotional reactions.


"Learning to read my nervous system was like getting an instruction manual for my emotions. For the first time, I understood why I reacted the way I did in certain situations, and that understanding itself created space for new possibilities." —Previous participant


 2. Body Awareness

Your body houses incredible wisdom, yet many of us have learned to ignore its signals. Through guided somatic practices, you'll develop your capacity to feel physical sensations, recognize emotional states in your body, and stay present with what arises moment by moment. This embodied awareness forms the cornerstone of all future healing work.


3. Pattern Recognition

We all have habitual ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving that occur automatically. In Month 1, you'll use specialized tracking tools to identify your unique patterns—from emotional triggers to thought spirals to behavioral responses. Seeing these patterns clearly, without judgment, is the first step toward transformation.


 4. Present Moment Practice

The present moment is where healing happens, yet our minds naturally wander to the past or future. Through accessible mindfulness practices tailored to different learning styles, you'll strengthen your capacity to return to the now—even during challenging experiences.


 The Journey Begins with Compassion


Perhaps the most important aspect of Month 1 is the cultivation of self-compassion. As awareness grows, we often discover patterns or reactions we wish were different. The temptation to judge ourselves can be strong, but judgment only reinforces disconnection.


Instead, we practice meeting everything we discover with genuine curiosity and kindness. This compassionate awareness creates the safety necessary for deep healing to unfold in the months ahead.


 What Participants Experience

During the first month of ASCEND, participants typically report:

- Greater capacity to name emotions and bodily sensations as they happen
- Increased moments of choice before reacting to triggers
- Reduced overwhelm through nervous system regulation skills
- Recognition of patterns that have shaped their lives
- A foundation of self-compassion that supports deeper exploration
- Tangible tools for returning to awareness throughout daily life


 Is ASCEND Right for You?


If you're longing for transformation that goes beyond surface-level change, if you're ready to develop a fundamentally new relationship with yourself, and if you value both spiritual depth and practical application, the ASCEND journey might be your next step.

Month 1 creates the foundation of awareness that makes everything else possible. From this foundation, we'll progress through regulation, connection, embodiment, mastery, discovery, wisdom, integration, transcendence, and harmony in the months that follow.

"I'd done years of therapy and countless workshops before ASCEND, but something about the program's progressive structure allowed me to integrate and embody the healing in a way nothing else had. Starting with awareness rather than jumping straight to 'fixing' made all the difference." —Previous ASCEND participant

One experiencer stated; ‘I can see other parts of myself in different times’!

Through the noticing of the movement, flow, colour, symmetry of the imaging, many could relate back to what was going on for them physically and emotionally.

Though gentle guidance with me, they were shown how to go into the imaging, using it as an interface to deeply access and experience Self. Shift their state of consciousness, and see this directly in the live video on the screen/projections.

How we can transcend the physical ailment with the intention and movement or activations of particular systems. Primarily I demonstrated the activation of the pineal, pituitary and hypothalamus, to resonate together and build the muscles of these under used parts of our glandular system. 

This takes only 3 minutes, often I see a shift just as I am walking them through the demo. Energy moves through intent, and I see this daily in the technology and also in my clinic work.

Once the sequences are practiced, we only need bring the intention, and the full activation can be observed and witnessed. My clients have allowed this further research (with Soulfie) into what as a Medicine women I know to be. Many like to SEE to BELIEVE. 

As a Practical Mystic we assist you to have your own direct experience. I can see the prototype has the function to do this. Even for the sceptics, when you experience directly it is hard to continue any doubt. 

Sample images below of different activation sates of consciousness, with subtle movement of energy.

Bringing in more clarity of symmetry and changes in the colours that correlate to Hz. Turquoise, and Magenta are what we commonly see in the higher states. Yellow as seen in the 6th and 8th picture was from moving congestion and flow was seen as this bright yellow. Congestion and areas showing symptoms of pain generally show as fire (red/orange/yellow).  In the future we will provide the scientific explanation, and for now this is a short and simple example of a couple of participants.

Thank You to those that supported me yesterday, 
Especially Ken Graydon a medicine man in his own right, and truely gentle soul. Ken assisted me to set up and pack up and sat for me to calibrate all the technology to be as precise as possible in an open space with not the best lighting for ultimate results. We did well and I know we will be co creating again in the future, and look forward to this unfolding. 


Shout out to Stephen Giles another Medicine Man (psychic) extraordinaire and blue star brother, lovely to reconnect and share space with yours always.
​

Have you wondered what you look like through this Soul Mirror looking glass? 

It won't be long and you will be able to experience yourselves directly. 

Until then,

May The Blessings Be!

Cynthia

​On another perspective,
I understand the thoughts of ‘what is the point’! It is all too much, what could I contribute, my small existence, no one understands me, I don’t fit here, and the like. You can add your critics voice here……….., the loudest inner voice that is generally not of inspiration or hope until integrated. The still, small voice is that of your Muse, the inner guidance is always with us yet requires the gentle tilt of the head in stillness to build up the relationship so she can be heard. 

Every day, billions of miracles are experienced and the most important ONE miracle is You woke up again to start another day! No matter what the expression of that day brings, it is miraculous. 

Why do we often think it has to be a certain way? 
Or lived like others live?

The heart ache felt deeply, is what opens me more. The heart ache shows me I am open to love, reminds me I can FEEL and have not numbed myself to that expression. A survival tactic I have known so well, of a sensitive wanting to turn off, and drop out. 

I celebrate and keep reminding Self of the miracle of the human experience. The past has seen this one numb, and shut down to survive. It was a blessing, our nervous system is remarkable and will keep us safe. It becomes a challenge when the system takes on that way of being as its normal daily operation. We can re pattern these early attachment programs, assist the energetics to support the physiology of stress, and discomfort. 

I am grateful that I feel EVERY THING, and consider that I may have had to lose my senses literally in my youth to appreciate the sensitivities now.

The challenge is to stay fully open to it all, feel it deeply, the spectrum of the physical and emotional sensorium. Keeping  the energy systems aligned, strong and humming to be able to catch each felt sense early, and to not have that experiencing any longer than necessary. 

How do I know what people are going through? I feel it directly, Literally through the human sensory system, and via the energetics. Many clients are surprised at the extent I feel their pain, it can even be a past pain or emotion. They can see and hear for themselves and this has helped them feel understood and heard. 

I often say that their systems get louder, like an excitement that they are being recognised and can use me as a translator to get the message across to the client in a language they can more easily understand. I get the message via felt sense, emotional sense, hearing, see, taste, smell, or knowings. Can be a combination or may just be a big hit of physical pain that shows me and as we discuss it will disappear like it has been heard, so can now relax, and move on to the next priority. 

Sounds bizarre, and it is. Yet when we open up totally to all that is, we fine tune to experience the language of it. There is no separation, and in those moments with clients this is clear.


Lady Gaga’s song A Million Reasons, often brings a tear. 
The words; I got a hundred million reasons to walk away,
Baby, I just need one good one to stay.


The miracle of this life is the one good reason, The gift of this existence is another. The knowing that there are many aspects of soul that are disembodied and cannot fully interact, is another. Literally there are a hundred million reasons to stay in the physical and to stay awake within that body. The song has many meanings, today I chose this perspective to share.

 The Freedom of Magnificent Mess is the reflection this morning, as I looked at my room of pilled up clothes, suitcase on the floor surrounded by different stacks of paper and journals. Other piles of technology and cords over there and shoes awaiting a return home.

I laughed, those that knew the aspect of this self from years ago, may remember the sayings I had. I loved clean surfaces and everything had a place to live, I never really understood the messy ones!

What I was doing - you see- was controlling my environment. Controlling what felt was in my reach in the chaos of my world back then.

The Doer!
Always doing.

I would look at my teenage girls room ( way back when) and shake my head as to how it could possibly get to such a state.

Really, I could not understand.

From a young age I cleaned and kept house for my family. I was a little mum, sweeping, vacuuming, ironing, cooking, washing up etc. 

When I looked at a room it was like a work of art, colour, pattern, texture. My mum is very creative in her decorating hence always lovely materials to use. Pillows and throws of colour, and so many pictures and ornaments, plants etc. A creatives dream canvas in many ways.

I love my mums house, it truely is like small eclectic still life, or installations everywhere you look. Even in the bathroom (If only I could show you). 

My point is, I laughed today at the recognition that, I am free! 
Free of any conditioning that I have to be a certain way, any way!

From still life to abstraction and beyond.....

The mess, is my free mind in flow.
No need to control my environment in the ways of the past ‘lower’ mind. 

This post is my reflection on the turning upside down of what many have been conditioned to believe. Cleanliness is godliness, idle hands are the ...., our environment mirrors our internal state and the like.

In fact for me it is the opposite! I have such clarity and focus in flow with All around and within me, that I have no want, need or desire to control the physical surrounds in the same way.

The merge is fluid so where one space starts and another ends is of no concern. Allowing myself and the extensions of The Self to Be. 

From Doing, too Being. 

Even further extension is my present state of Areing. 
Doing. Being, too Areing. 

In this vibrational state of human-ing is moving as one organism, a discussion for another day.

Today in this moment we ARE not doing or being any thing. NO Thing.

The room is rooming, clothes are clothing, stacks of books are booking. No Thing for me to Do.

No worry, no concerns, no thoughts that I MUST tidy. It is all in homeostasis, and flows as …… 

Giggling on the past where I would clean rather than go out or create. Now I create and travel rather than clean! Choice, yet I review my state of mind again, and see there are no fears, no ruminations, no I should’s, and the like. No conditioning that say’s I Have too or I am seen as…….. 

As I AM regardless of the room! I AM all I place intention and feel into I AM. 

My external place, body or environment no longer dictates this.

So I laugh at what the old self would say about this. I giggle that she would no way even have a book on the floor let alone her pile of research. 

This is reminding me of where I am now. That I AM in the NOW, as when in that flow the items in the room will morph and move as they AARRRRREEEE~~~ the one organism. As it breathes in and out, things shift and transform. 

My mess is not my anxiety! 
The mess is my freedom from the past fears and anxious programming.

The freedom that comes from the magnificence of the mess! 

I would love to hear your reflection on this post,
Can you relate or are your experiences different?

Have you struggled with control of your environment from a place of lack, fear or anxiety?
What are your experiences and wisdom from it?
Share here or PM me.

Much Love from my luscious messing)))))))))

What would happen if you ran towards what you disliked?

Walked towards what made you feel discomfort?

What about that which produced physical reaction, or a memory of the past experiences you’d rather forget?

I invite you to contemplate; What comes to mind when you move into these spaces of mind, memory, environment, experience.

Do you trust the/your self?
Do you trust the/your body?
Do you trust the/your minds?

Where is it that you feel the push away?
The sensation that you may need to run, suppress or hide?

The places and spaces internal or external that we cordon off from the present are what (in my experience) create knots in our time lines. Interruption of our continual flow and evolution.

So much energy is invested into the bank accounts of the past to ensure that information stays put in the dungeons, the vault of that remembrance.

However, it is all the weave of the same jumper, and if we stop the loom over the left chest and weave around it. We end up with a jumper that exposes a left breast. Making the well made and beautifully crafted cloth, not fully functional for keeping the chest warm. This is how I see the attempted deletion of our story.

What I have found on my life journey is the incidents so horrific in the past were silenced, which made them scream louder.

So they were buried, which made them rise as ghosts.

They were numbed out which produced symptoms that prevented my ignorance.

I’m not saying it is an immediate process that all can do right now. No, what I am sharing is the awareness of it being a process, and with support you too can start to look at what you barricaded out of your life.

Thing is, when I realised that certain incidents in life actually held me small, held me captive in that state of density consciousness. What came to me was that if I faced it toe to toe, from where I am now, what would it look like?

Would the same emotions and physical sensations present. Did the stress response react the same, or was it different now, if different, how so?

I was withdrawing some of the treasured energy I had deposited in that account of the past. This allowed more for the present, more to have now, and with it the ability to re weave the missing threads into the fabric of life, no longer a gapping gap at my chest.

Many of us run on a small percentage of our daily energy stores, so much is in the past happenings. It is possible to have the memories without the charge on them? I am proof of that.

Once I started to open and withdraw my energy reserve from the old story. Instantly I witnessed my life fill with more abundance. Opportunities, meeting people, inspiration, creativity, wisdom, everything was flowing to me, I didn't have to do much at all.

When I peeked over the wall I had built, it was ok. Yes there were tears touching on the whole spectrum of emotions. Yet it was immediately strengthening, the vulnerability was my courage. The courage was my brave heart which brought me Truth and an expansion of Love.

We build the huge barriers and walls to prevent any access of that past into our present. For me it left bits of myself in the desert, seemingly lost to the present. To Re-Member The Self I wen't on the 'Sheroes' Journey, looking at the monsters and realising they were just shadows on the wall that I myself had built!!

There is no separation of those aspects of the self, the past you, the present you or the future you. We can choose where to INVEST our Energy and we can transform the story of the past, re-storying, taking back our strength and empower the Self.

We become the authors of our own life, we can write what that is to look like now!!

Can you relate to any of this?
Let me know here or PM me if you have felt by keeping a piece of the past secret or quiet it has cut off an aspect of your current potential experience.

Maybe you would like support to look at your energy accounts and see where you can address your past, and transfer the energy resources to your current account for the present potential, here Now.

May you gift and be gifted from the overflow. ​

A Gas Discharge Visualization Device (GDV) is used to demonstrate the practitioner’s ability to create change in both their personal field and in a client’s field. The GDV uses a small amount of electricity to cause a gas emission corona to be produced by the practitioner’s hands. This corona is then analyzed to confirm changes in the body. The client is asked to place their fingers in the machine to create a GDV image of their field, then perform a #healing #energywork after which new images are taken. The test is looking for a change in the GDV image that correlates with the focus of healing. 

The purpose of this test is to determine if the practitioner can create a physiological change in a client’s field as measured by the GDV in 40 minutes (5 for Cynthia). The GDV was developed by the Russians for use on the space station and to train Olympic athletes. It is a diagnostic device in 28 countries with over 750 research studies to it’s credit. It is considered an experimental device in the US primarily because it uses the #meridian system as part of the measures. It looks at the gas emission from the fingertips and using the spectrum, density, area, and #fractal information on the gasses emitted from the eight sectors of each of the ten fingers and mapping that to the physical structure of the body.

A baseline measure is taken of the client and an analysis of the baseline image is done. Then the practitioner must produce a physiological change in an area selected by the investigator within the time given. A second set of measures is taken at the end of the allocated time 5 minutes and the data is compared to confirm that a clear change has taken place in the designated area.

Tests carried out by Dr. M Connor, and Practitioner Cynthia J Harrison.  Jan 2019
