Once again, it's Mercury Retrograde. That's my excuse as to why this edition of The Journal of Spiritual Coaching is a day or so late. In keeping with the Mercury Retrograde theme of re-doing, re-thinking, re-visiting, and anything that is a "re", I'm re-printing this article of mine on enablement and empowerment. It seems timely. Here,
Let Me Help You When you help others, are you enabling or empowering them? Enabling or Empowering: What's the Difference? Empowerment is a term that's often used to describe one of the most gratifying and beneficial results for the client during life coaching. The basis of empowerment is the continual, conscious awareness that no matter what situation the client is facing, there is always an array of choices from which they can choose. Simply being at choice is empowering. Enablement is opposite of empowerment. Enabling another person takes their options of choice away from them. During an act of enablement, the enabler is choosing what they believe is best for another person. Depriving another person of their right to have their own power of choice not only is disempowering, it instantly transforms that person into a victim. Additionally, during this process the enabler gives much of their energy to the now-victim. In any connection between people, there's a pipeline of energy that's created. In a healthy relationship, the energy flows back and forth evenly. However, between the victim and their enabler, the energy flows effusively one way only - from the source (the enabler) to the victim. If you've ever tried to help a friend and have found that your energy is being drained while they continue blithely on in the same pattern, you've been enabling them. An enabling example: a man gives money to his friend, who chronically has difficulty paying her bills. She takes his money and pays her current bills, but has learned nothing about the choices she made to get herself in her financial pickle in the first place. By giving her the money, he has enabled her to continue in her dysfunctional financial pattern. He becomes frustrated and angry as he watches her continue in this path, and yet he continues to give his energy away to her, both emotionally and physically (remember, money represents energy) thinking that he's actually helping her. An empowering example: same situation as above, but instead of giving his friend the money, he discusses with her some possible options, helping her to see how the choices she's making are embedding her in a finanacial bog. He offers her resources, such as financial advisors, counselors, and professional life coaches. He offers his support in learning new ways to work with her money. Then, he allows her to make her own choices, detaching from the result... and from the energy drain. Yes, we are all here to help one another, to hold out our hands to those who need a bit of a bolster. The trick is to help them up, and not get pulled down into their quagmire. Enabling pulls the enabler down into OP (Other People's) stuff. Empowerment helps everyone move up. And maybe the best part is that, in the process of empowering others, you get to experience the soul-deep joy of knowing that you've truly helped another to better their life. Each empowering experience offers wonderful learning that they can carry forward with them to enrich their lives. Love, p.s. All of the services I offer - Life Purpose and Spiritual Coaching, 12 Strand DNA Activation, Astroarchetypes, vibrational healing, and more - are empowering for my clients.

Inner peace. That's what almost everyone who's had the Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Activation is experiencing. Here's what they said:
The Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Activation is an incredibly powerful DNA activation, owing in part to the inclusion of the activation of the twelve interdimensional layers that surround the DNA. With the 12 Strand DNA Activation, you have access to ten times the information available through your DNA. These additional strands encompass the following areas of your life:
During the activation, we use color and the tones of the sacred Solfeggio scale to imprint the activation on the DNA in every cell in your body. The Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Activation takes approximately one hour to complete. The activation can be done in person in The Crystal Room at my home, by phone, or remotely. Read more about the benefits of this new Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Activation. For more information and to schedule an appointment, call me at 253-853-4033 or email me. Essential Oil of the Month Frankincense is considered the holy anointing oil in the Middle East, where it has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. It was one of the gifts given to Christ at His birth. Frankincense was valued more than gold during ancient times, and only those with great wealth ever possessed it. Frankincense oil has a sweet, warm, balsamic aroma that is stimulating and elevating to the mind. Useful for visualizing, improving one's spiritual connection, and centering, it has comforting properties that help focus the mind and overcome stress and despair. It has been used as a valuable ingredient in skin care products for aging and dry skin. The ancient Egyptians used it in rejuvenation face masks.
