Results of April 2010 Bootcamp 4 Beliefs

Of the 163 members who registered to participate, 18 participants provided the following survey results:

Before the challenge I had a good understanding of why I believed what I did = 82.5%

As a result of the challenge I now understand myself more = 100%

I have now learned to be kinder to myself  = 93.5%

Summary of at least 3 things participants learned in the Challenge and now apply in their daily life:

  • Be kinder to myself
  • Take more time to self reflect
  • Forgive myself
  • Increase positive self talk
  • The importance of being clear about what I want
  • Review and question validity of beliefs and construct new ones where appropriate

From the facilitators perspective, these results were evident in the increase in robust discussions displaying more self trust, confidence and certainty.

Day 2 Interpreting Intuition

Wow! I am astonished at your feedback! thank you everyone for being prepared to play at 100% – it’s the only way you will get what you need from this Challenge – notice I didn’t say get what you want?  Well there’s a reason for that :)

For those of you who are new to the group, please ensure you have read the background to this Challenge and completed your self assessment checklist. Glog doesn’t have the capacity to hold previous posts long enough so I have set up a blog where I will also post the Challenges daily. You have the choice of participating either here or on my blog, or both! If you missed the post on www.gratitudelog.com from yesterday, please go to my blog www.bronwynclee.com/blog You will be required to register as a member of my blog to ensure privacy settings are adhered to. The group will be closed to prospective new members after 3 days of commencement. This Challenge clearly is an opportunity to fine tune, sharpen and/or enhance your intuitive knowledge and skills, and for those of you who have participated in Bootcamp for Beliefs you know my style of facilitating is interactive.

So, now that you have had a chance to self assess your own sense of intuition and get in touch with an intuitive experience, let’s begin to explore this a bit further. If we have all had an experience that has ultimately been or potentially been life changing and can link intuition to these experiences let’s examine how we can deliberately filter intuition as information…

Think back to an intuitive experience and consider the following: Do you recall exactly what happens in your body in the moment of ‘intuition arriving’? Do you have a physiological experience such as a body sensation – tingly fingers/toes? Do you hear ringing in your ears? Do you smell something unusual? Or do you get a funny feeling, sometimes difficult to describe other than a ‘knowingness’? In other words, which of your senses are most heightened at the point of  ‘receiving intuition as intelligence’?

For some of you, answering this will require quite a bit of focused thinking, for others it will come in an instant. Please be easy on yourself and know that you do know the answer, and trust that it will be revealed to you at the right time. In paying attention to body behaviour we can begin to be more attuned to their signals and read them more purposefully. We can also learn to interpret the signals. And here in lies one of our greatest challenges within this Challenge! If we have loud noises in our heads more often than not, how on earth can we ‘hear’ the signals with consciousness and certainty? Mindfulness will remain a key theme in this Challenge and while I am happy to direct people to fabulous resources, all I would ask you do in honouring mindfulness is consider what some would call the most mundane tasks – washing dishes, watering plants, ironing clothes, brushing your teeth and observe whether your mind wanders, or whether it stays focused on the task at hand… The simplicity of these exercises is purposeful and deliberate. Being able to interpret intuition more deeply, the mind needs time and space to translate and compute.

Imagine being in peak hour traffic, honking horns, road rage, flashing lights, sirens wailing, running late and wanting to scream, and suddenly someone demands your attention!! How able are you to ‘hear and act on’ this person’s message?………..Next, imagine in amongst all of that busy~ness, being mindful, being present, being still in the moment and focusing on the task at hand, sitting in the car, hands on the steering wheel, radiating peace and being calm with eyes wide open and all senses wide, wide awake. Now ask yourself again “how able are you to ‘hear and act on’ this person’s message?”………..

In stilling the mind we make space for all sorts of head and heart, body and brain magic! Enjoy your homework!

  1. recall exactly what happens in your body in the moment of ‘intuition arriving’
  2. Be more mindful in ‘mundane moments’ and observe your intuition as intelligence
  3. Remember self care ~ self pace ~ self love

End of First Boot Camp for Beliefs 33 Day Challenge

This Challenge has proven to be an astonishing experience for everyone who involved. 136 people signed up on www.gratitudelog.com to participate in a series of self reflective activities designed to explore beliefs and their validity. Clear expectations from the outset of the Challenge outlined the importance of participants taking 100% responsibility for the way in which they engaged in Boot Camp; the importance of self care, self pace, self love and the honouring of sacred space being held for everyone; no judging, point scoring or assessing other than self reflections were encouraged. True inspiration came through the depth of sharing as participants chose to post their responses over the 33 days. Facilitated questions evoked deeper thinking and further sharing, which in turn prompted even more questions… Attention to self kindness was a mandate and likewise proved to be insightful for so many who had never contemplated self talk in such a way before BC… This inward journey of self reflection in an emotionally safe environment had participants making the following comments:
It is an effortful process, but is increasingly becoming effortless at quite a quick pace, and I am loving the experiencing of this shift, which is so powerful because it is really really freeing me up to just be, live, and let life unfold with a smile!

Thanks for reminding us: ~ it’s not what happens around us that matters, it’s how we manage ourselves that matters the most ~

This has been a safe & sacred space for me & the other Boot Campers. And it wouldn’t have been possible without our wonderful lead warrior setting the example, the pace, the space & the parameters!

At last! The New Challenge!

Good Morning Fellow Boot Campers  drum rollllllllll please LOL ~ AT LONG LAST WE ARE GEARING UP TO START THE NEW 30 DAY BOOTCAMP FOR INTERPRETING INTUITION CHALLENGE.

As agreed a few weeks ago, the NEW CHALLENGE will be posted on www.gratitudelog.com as well as here on my new Blog. Boy oh boy, I had no idea the Blog was going to take so much time in setting up! Thank god and goodness for a very clever and giving son who happens to be a web editor (www.iamtyce.com) and back in Oz for a brief window of time…

For members of Bootcamp for Beliefs who missed the recent discussion, now is a great time to consider what was agreed and whether or not you wish to remain with us. A summary of the feedback regarding the next challenge is:

1) Rename Boot Camp for Beliefs rather than start a new Group
2) Close group after 3 days of beginning new Challenge
3) Daily posts will be made available both on GLog and my Blog which you will have to sign and join (similarly to Glog) to allow sacred space and privacy to be maintained

30 DAY BOOTCAMP FOR INTERPRETING INTUITION will be run along similar lines to Bootcamp for Beliefs. The process will be reflective and interactive and requires you to take 100% responsibility for how you choose to participate. Opportunities for growth and contribution are therefore entirely up to you. I am certain everyone who joins us will grow more through the collective sharing style we have all grown to appreciate in this group.

As the facilitator it is my responsibility to post daily and invite you to reflect and/or contribute/interact. Likewise, we are all required to honour self care ~ self pace ~ self love. At the beginning and end of the Challenge, I will post a brief survey for you to self assess your insights/learnings and for me to assess the value of the opportunity offered. All of the feedback is confidential and surveys are anonymous unless you choose otherwise. Testimonials are always appreciated

As many of you know, our only son has graced us with a brief visit in between heading off for his next o/s trip. I have honoured my beliefs in self care ~ self pace ~ self love along with fun, variety and balance, hence the drag in time to getting the next challenge started. We expect to have the Blog live within the next two days.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding and willingness to contribute to the greater good of all humanity. Being clear in our head and heart affords the individual a deeper, richer life and raises the vibrations for the collective consciousness at the same time. I love love love having the honour of walking my talk and talking my walk with you all ~ aloha ~
