Ever wonder what the #1 Self-Defeating Behavior is? Self Sabotage
Our saboteur is the part of us that feels afraid and does things that undermine us so that we receive the opposite of what we truly desire. The saboteur tries to protect us in some way but the protection is based on fear rather than love.It’s usually a younger part of ourselves that needs reassurance and compassion.Trust that you can soothe and heal this part of yourself and still move forward.
Examples of how your saboteur feeds on your fear to stop you in your tracks: suddenly getting a headache before something important, believing that “you aren’t good enough,” finding all kinds of ways to distract you from really matters: avoiding things, denying that there is an issue, over-working, shopping, alcohol, even facebooking!
If you feel that you are stuck with feeling stuck and have to accept less than you truly desire, your saboteur is probably running in the background.
If you’re wondering if you have one, ask yourself “Do I have a saboteur?” and hear its response.
You may also ask it what is it afraid of? Or What does it want from you?
How does the Ego Affect Your Saboteur?
We have heard about the Ego—but what is it anyway? From my understanding, it is a collective persona made up of all the defensive subpersonalities that are still driving your unconscious behavior. The ego has many gatekeepers, the Saboteur being one.
In my book,Heart Empowerment for Empaths, I walk you through the 4 chambers of ‘Heart Empowerment’ healing. With each chamber,there is a “gatekeeper personality” that must be integrated. The Saboteur is one of them and may have been developed from your wounded inner child. This part of you put up energetic walls in order to avoid feeling more emotional pain.
Feeling safe to be who you are and choose what you want is paramount in life. It sounds so easy, but in fact, most people,especially ones who may have suffered childhood emotional neglect or even trauma, have built immense heart walls around their heart. These walls are about as impenetrable as Fort Knox is! That means no one or nothing can really get in.
What is even more dismaying for spiritual seekers, is that they THINK they are doing themselves good by doing all this inner work. However, if they are doing it with their Saboteur still in charge-only so much will get through.
What they end up doing is making it a lot harder on themselves, which creates a pattern of struggle.
Understand this. The Saboteur/Ego aspect of you wants you to seek but never find.
That is the cycle of crazy making! If you hear the voices of “I can’t” “it’s too hard” “It will never work for me” and you feel unmotivated to make empowering decisions, then your Saboteur more than likely the main one driving your life.
As a Mindset expert, I strongly recommend to anyone on a spiritual path, to do the Befriend Your Inner Saboteur work first – as it will save you an immense amount of time,money and energy! So you can get in motion quickly and easily.
That’s where a personal mentor comes in.
Are you ready to finally stop sabotaging yourself?
We all need that person in our lives who can mirror for us the magnificent truth of who we REALLY are,(not who our wounded ego’s think we are). In conjunction with Creator, I can see and reflect back to you the brilliance of your soul, as well as the blind spots and shadowy aspects. When shadows come in, we address them head on and use them as a catalyst to help you have a quantum leap ahead.
I will provide the guidance, accountability, and energy alchemy tools that work so that you can feel more empowered and fully expressed.
Quantum Alignment 1:1 Coaching
I use a process called Quantum Success Energetics that clears at the light body level. We do a reorganization of the way you are operating. We give the saboteur, a name and a new, more appropriate job so it can help you successfully function in the world. In a round of 6 private sessions we will do the alchemy work necessary to integrate and bring this part on board with your greater purpose. I will teach you how to do ‘Inner Alchemy’ so you can become your own energy advocate.
This is why it is so important to learn how to put our minds into a theta state. It lets us become creators of our own universe by putting us into direct contact with infinite intelligence. But that is only half the story. The other half involves the heart. This may come as a shock to some but the heart is also a feeling and thinking organ like the brain. The brain is more rational while the heart is more intuitive. Your brain opens the doorway to infinite intelligence while your heart does the actual communicating.
How does it communicate? Your heart space is the Creation Station, so when you focus on your heart with love and empowerment, you activate an electromagnetic energy that magnetizes what you want with more ease. If however, your saboteur is in charge, it maybe holding the charge of low self-esteem, fear, doubt, shame, guilt or craving.
>>>This gets shifted during our work together.
What you read about in the Heart Empowerment for Empaths book is how to do“Inner Alchemy.” This is a practice that you can master with the help of mentorship.
Inner Alchemy is a simple practice that I was inspired to create that will support you to quickly shift your emotional triggers with more ease and grace. Through this practice you will meet what arises with a loving, accepting presence and through this you are then able to embrace the shadowy aspects of the self and access more of your innate Divine Consciousness.
Inner Alchemy Process
Here are some self-assessment questions to begin to get to know your Saboteur:
Get Your Journal Out, take 3 cleansing breathes, invite your SABOTEUR to have a conversation and answer each of these:
1. Is there an area of life I am unable to make progress in?If so, what is it?
2. What are 3 main reasons I have that I cannot move forward yet?
3. How much energy on a scale of 1-10 (10 being highest)that this part of me in “in charge?”
4. What does it tell me? (ex: Who do you think you are? ex: You’re not enough. It will never work. )
5. What is it costing you to keep listening to the limitation?
6. How does it affect your happiness, health, wealth or relationships?
Once you have gotten some clarity, then you are at a choicepoint: Continue down the same path you’ve been on, or Get Support.
If you are ready to befriend your inner saboteur and begin making progress on your soul’s purpose and life goals, then please reach out to apply for a complimentary breakthrough session with me. I will ask a few questions to get the ball rolling and we will schedule a zoom or phone call to discuss what’s in the way and how to compress your timelines of achievement.
