An Empowering Space

What is the Enneagram? Definitely not another personality test that pigeonholes people.  It is a map of the inner worlds of nine distinct perspectives from which people act and respond to life.  It shows us our strengths, limitations, habits of attention and responses.  It helps you step out of the box which limits you - “your point of view.”

When some one does something we wouldn’t do, have you ever caught yourself saying or wondering “What in the world were they thinking?” Their actions surprise us, because their actions would not flow from our inner worlds and our viewpoint.

Thursday 4th of September at 8:00pm EST, I will have a wonderful guest to share with you on An Empowering Space - Your Hour of Power.

Dr. Roxanne Howe-Murphy’s work  inspires, deepens and animates that which is the best within us by focusing on healthy adult psychological and spiritual development. She is deeply committed to helping people wake-up to their true nature and heal, and uses the awakening and integrative body of wisdom called the Enneagram to support that process.

She founded LifeWise Learning Institute, an executive and life coaching company in 1997. She is an author, Enneagram Teacher and Coach. Roxanne is also the Director of the Enneagram Institute of the San Francisco Bay Area.

She teaches the Enneagram through classes, workshops, and retreats, and is an authorized teacher of the teachings of Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson, preeminent Enneagram teachers and authors of the best-selling Enneagram books.

Roxanne’s latest book, Deep Coaching: Using the Enneagram as a Catalyst for Profound Change, was written to support coaches and other professionals in integrating the Enneagram into their practices. The book has been well-received internationally and is being translated into Korean. Roxanne founded the Deep Coaching Training Program to further coaching professional development. ( Her book can be purchased in the Coaching section of my online store)

The Stages of the Work

Can you imagine …. being able to have a conversation with your body, or a certain part of your body to uncover the source of its pain?

What if the thoughts we think and the words we say to ourselves do in fact create our experience, create dis-ease?

How can we use EFT - emotional freedom techniques along with inner dialogues to listen to our bodies?

My guest this Thursday 8:00 pm EST, on an Empowering Space _Your Hour of Power is Maggie Adkins, EFT Master.  Maggie has been a guest on our show before, and since we only had one hour to spend with her, she is back to share her brilliance with us.

If you have a nagging pain in a part of your body, and would like to uncover the source of the irritation or pain, she has an excellent technique that she is willing to share with us during this hour.

It is a call-in program and we would love for it to be interactive, so that she can share this technique with our listeners.  The number to call in is 347 215 8414.

Having done an EFT course myself, the day after Maggie’s last appearance on the Empowering Space, I have  witnessed first hand the benefits of EFT.

• Where are you experiencing pain in your body?
• What messages is your body trying to convey to you?
• Are you ready to get to the source of the condition or pain?
• Are you ready to listen to your body?

Maggie is in the process of writing her book “Inner Dialogues with EFT” which she intends to release in September. This is an opportunity to hear about her unique technique.  If you have interesting results using this technique and would like to be in her book or just are interested in ordering the book send an email to

Last weekend is one I will not forget. I was part of the planning committee for the 30th Reunion of my High school graduating Class. We decided it was time to get together about four months ago and all we did was send out the emails. All the ladies started to make plans to bring their families home or to get down here for the event.

Two months before the event the committee started meeting and hunting for our missing classmates, asking everyone to get involved in finding a friend….. Read the rest of this entry »

No sooner had I finished my EFT radio Interview with EFT Master Maggie Adkins, I received an email from one of my local listeners to let me know that there was an all day workshop on EFT in my country. It was being facilitated by Jan Harr B.A. EFT -adv. from Colorado. I was so excited, as I had read the EFT manual looked at all the training videos, but did not want to pass up the opportunity to participate in a workshop…………….

Don’t take anything personally:
“Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their needs, their dreams. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.” Don Miguel Ruiz - The four Agreements

How can we avoid taking things personally?

Remember everyone has a different point of view and sees the world through that point of view.  that point of view is coloured by their beliefs, opinions, thoughts, emotions, and fears.

How can we not take things personally in a world with so much personal interaction?
Even if someone insults you directly, it has nothing to do with you. The only way it can make you suffer is if somewhere, on some level, you believe this to be true about yourself. We as human beings project onto others. All relationships or projections are mirrors to our soul. The only person we cannot see in this world without a mirror is ourselves.

What do you do if you have toxic people in your life?
When toxic people show up in your life, look to see what you need to learn, do not judge yourself, make powerful observations, ask powerful questions and be willing to take actions. Why are you attracting this type of relationship into your life at this moment? You have a choice in every moment. Your happiness depends on no one but you.

How can I avoid taking things personally?

• Respect and love yourself
• See other people as they are, with a different point of view, listen to what lies behind their words, what do they need, how do they feel?
• Refuse to eat emotional poison - toxic thoughts, resentment, guilt, shame, anger
• Become immune to poison - toxic words may only stick to you if you accept them
• Be immune to others opinions - what they think about you is none of your business
• Release self judgment - be gentle, kind and compassionate with yourself
• Relinquish self importance - give up your need to be right
• Everyone lives in their own world, dream - including you
• Everyone is coming from their own perspective
• Your truth is personal to you
• Transform your thoughts, transform your life
• Embrace your freedom.

All transformation is just a shift in perspective.
