Mapping Unfinished Business using Inner Inventory Tools Workshop
We’re in a time when many of our unresolved issues are coming up. This means it’s also a powerful moment to put a spotlight on what is surfacing.
Even those of us with years of experience with meditation and self-inquiry techniques may find ourselves caught off guard by our own emotional triggers and reactive behaviors. We may feel stuck in certain situations. Whether it’s challenging family dynamics, tension in relationships or at work, unrelenting distress over current events, even the sense that we are at a plateau or lack direction — we may sense that “something is going on” at a deeper level, but we don’t know how to flush it out for healing or release or resolution.
What if the blind-spots that set us off can be tracked down? What if they are not there because we’re doing something wrong, but because we just haven’t seen them yet for what they are? These challenging situations are meant to be helpful – as input to our inner navigation system – and they can be explored using the tools of inner inventory.
Courageous inner inventory helps lay the groundwork for deep discernment and lasting change. It provides a map to find where we are and a compass to give feedback on the direction we’re heading. We can spot what is as yet unfinished, ignored, or misunderstood within.
Foundation Work for “Mapping Unfinished Business using Inner Inventory Tools”
Before we dive deep into our Mapping Unfinished Business work, we start with finding, naming, or strengthening our sense of our inner spiritual foundation (which may be church-oriented, spiritual-oriented, or value-oriented). We will consider our relationship to control, trust, direction, balance, and serenity to set a baseline for the rest of our inventory process.
The Three Businesses – Being Honest about Control and Boundary Issues
We’ll explore the differences between boundaries and rules and explore a simply hands-on tool to help define and resolve control issues. 1 session
