<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>With Marci Steinberg and Ajna Star</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Saturday, January 28<sup>th</sup>, 10:00 AM til 5:30 PM</p>
<p>www.bartsharp.com</p>
<p>512 809 6807</p>
<p>Please R.S.V.P by 1-26-12</p>
<p>Cost for creating a greater power within you, $100</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The impetus of wealth, good health, sexual energy and high spiritual being source comes from a power deep within us. The deepest sense of our being human begins there, the innate ability to create in these four areas is powered in our deepest being, the 2<sup>nd</sup> chakra.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the upcoming class,” Accessing Our Core Being” we will explore the limitations that keep us from flowing freely inside of us and develop our most important personal power area. It will be a day of energetic activations, guided visualizations, Access Energy Transformation clearings and each person will receive a private individual session (Marci Steinberg or Ajna Star) of energetic bodywork connecting us into our body in a way that we have never experienced before.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By the end of the day we will experience what it feels like to be more vibrant, grounded and connected to the source of power that is naturally you. Handouts Included.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bart sez: “Doing six hours plus of energy work can break-down our defenses and we become new energies so something more real can be perceived in our 2<sup>nd</sup> chakra and how we manifest our lives.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New clearings and activations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Chakra Healing</strong> by <strong>Ajna Star</strong> improves chronic, severe, and/or traumatic issues of the emotional, physical, and/or metaphysical aspects. This is done in two ways through Ms. Star as an empath and a conduit for channeling divine light of needed frequencies into the related chakras: The transference of energy via spontaneous chi-gong, and/or being in a meditative state when visually reading the client&#8217;s chakras.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Buffing</strong> by <strong>Marci Steinberg</strong> is a key component to getting you out of your head and into your body. It is the use of vibration, with a massage tool, that is used on your body as you breathe in a particular way. The vibration will interrupt your holding patterns that will release from your body and nervous system.  This allows the body to release and let go of stress, patterns, traumas and issues.</p>

<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>What if true em<a href="http://bartsharp.com/buy-books-and-cds/cd-becoming-a-greater-power/">power</a>ment was no longer struggling against yourself but bringing all of that energy and present into what you really wanted to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgTs81USTHU ">create</a>?</p>
<p>What if true em<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPlLYvXXRco">power</a>ment was having no need of relationships but totally enjoying for what ever they were?</p>
<p>What if true empowerment is never buying that <a href="http://bartsharp.com/magical-life-magic-magicalcreating-magicangeranger-managementanger-release/growing-beyond-our-emotional-pain/">pain</a> could really hurt you it is just a sensation therefore we no longer suffer?</p>
<p>What if true empowerment was your heart was open and ready to receive even if you were in a cold rainstorm of life?</p>
<p>What if true empowerment was knowing that you never have to compare yourself to anyone again and you flowed as yourself for the rest of your life?</p>
<p>What if true empowerment was never laughing at anyone again but smiling with the world?</p>
<p>What if true empowerment was about listening and not having a need to talk?</p>
<p>What if true empowerment made money less of our motivation and staying true to fulfilling the desires is our heart our full intention?</p>

<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>I was listening to someone recently who told me that she was hurt in a relationship.  She responded by saying, “I guess I need to go on”.  The comment insinuated that exploring her own feelings was not part of her plan.</p>
<p>For many, they are not taught how to process emotions therefore when they experience something like their own anger, grief or guilt they react negatively to the process.   “Oh NO!  The bad stuff is here again!”  The dread of encountering such a challenge is more than they can handle therefore it is common to retreat into the same predictable patterns they have created in the past.</p>
<p>Emotions in their purest essence are an impetus for us to take action, make corrections, release or confirm.</p>
<p>Anger is an energy for us to take action.</p>
<p>Guilt is an energy to take corrective measures for our mistakes or shortcomings.</p>
<p>Grief is used to release and transform our sadness.</p>
<p>Love is to confirm our being.</p>
<p>Joy is a feeling that everything is complete.</p>
<p>The person who contacted me needed her guilt to take the journey within herself, as its uncomfortable feelings may motivate her to learn a different way.  A motivation to discover her unconscious patterns of living.  The anger may be the impetus to guide her to: find the unconsciousness that she created in order to be betrayed, or to confront the other person or confront her self.  Grief maybe expressed for the loss of someone or the feeling of her personal loss that is bigger than the loss of one person.</p>
<p>When we completely experience the reality of our emotions the feeling of unbalance will change.  The emotions transform into a perception of resolution when we understand what the emotion is trying to express to or teach us.  As we process deeper we may find the reoccurring emotional patterns that we have created through-out our life and begin changing a bigger perspective.  It all begins by processing what is happening now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1080" title="people" src="http://bartsharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/people-300x300.jpg" alt="people" width="300" height="300" />Breaking The Pattern Of Painful Relationships</p>
<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>If you see yourself as creating a pattern of painful relationships and wish to change the way you attract relationships below are a few ideas to explore.</p>
<p>Write a list of personal qualities of each of your parents.</p>
<p>Identify the qualities you agreed with.</p>
<p>Identify the qualities you were in opposition to.</p>
<p>Identify the qualities you like and dislike about your parents that you have.</p>
<p>Identify the qualities of your significant relationships and compare the list to your parents.   See if there are reoccurring qualities between your intimate partner and a parent.</p>
<p>Using your list find out what role you become to each parent.  Were you the hero?  Were you always proving their worth to them?  A caretaker?  Were you nurturing your parent?  Or did they nurture you?  Were you fearful of them?  When we see the various roles we play we can begin to see how we carry those qualities out to the world as well.</p>
<p>Also which parent did we identify more strongly with?   If there was a parent we opposed?</p>
<p>When you have explored your own perspectives but wish to understand the dynamics deeper.  What patterns did your parents have between them?  How did they relate and negoiate with each other?  What patterns did we copy in their interactions as a couple that we are still doing as adults?</p>
<p>Doing this type of introspective and revealing work can bring up some strong memories for some.  It is ever important not to judge any of it but to be objective.  We may feel some strong emotions that have come up from our past, it is very important to observe them, feel them and allow them.  However we do not have to be the affect of them like many of us did when we were younger.</p>
<p>As children we generally feel things with much more intensity so sometimes when it is recalled the memories can be very strong.  We have to remember that our past does not control us when we reveal it to the present.  In fact it is just the opposite the more we discover about our past the more freedom we have.  The more it is unknown and suppressed it has an unconscious power in our lives.</p>
<p>Writing is an ever important aspect of learning your patterns in painful relationships.  When we write it down we gain a clearer perspective.  Then we can review it.  There is something about slowing down to the written word that makes us stop a bit and reflect in a more objective way.  Most people buy notebooks and keep a running journal of their reflections.  I have backlogs of these books and on occasion look back at my thoughts to see the progress I have made.  I know others that throw them away or burn them as a symbol that they are letting their past go.  Regardless if you do it you will see changes.</p>

<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>Psychologist <a href="http://www.harvillehendrix.com/">Harville Hendrix</a> in his classic book <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=u_sh7yxjIxwC&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;dq=harville+hendrix&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=hOR0MtDc2S&amp;sig=7FHVGPjLls58S7-VIGM3cQACPrg&amp;hl=en&amp;ei=TvSXTJm8N4uosAOayqGeDA&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;ct=result&amp;resnum=13&amp;ved=0CFYQ6AEwDA#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false">“Getting the Love You Want”</a> stated that we attract people that are similar to one or both of our parents.  The unresolved conflicts that we have with our parents are acted out with the person in the relationship. The problem is that most people do this dance in the <a href="http://bartsharp.com/buy-books-and-cds/cd-letting-go-of-the-pain-in-love-and-relationships/ ">pained relationship</a> unconsciously. They are going into the relationship unknowing that they are playing the same kind of roles they did with one or both of their parents.  For many people recreate the dissatisfying parts of the <a href="http://bartsharp.com/magical-life-magic-magicalcreating-magicangeranger-managementanger-release/projections-of-our-fears-create-our-reality-of-happy-or-painful-relationships/">painful relationship</a> they had growing up.</p>
<p>A client named David began to see that his significant relationships were with women that were strong willed, controlling and would have outbursts of rage towards David.  David realized these characteristics were the hauntingly similar to his pained relationship with his father.   David began to write about his experiences with his father and saw how his <a href="http://bartsharp.com/magical-life-magic-magicalcreating-magicangeranger-managementanger-release/the-process-of-releasing-anger-and-resentments/">father’s aggressions</a> made him feel <a href="http://bartsharp.com/personalgrowth-wealth-magic/the-secret-debilitating-presence-of-a-shamed-life/">ashamed and then angry</a>.  He began to see that he was stuck in the pattern with his father and his own mistakes growing up had an unconscious element that he was continuing to do as an adult.</p>
<p>David sabotauged his life to receive his father’s criticism as a self defeating way to affirm what his father had been conveying to David all along, he was lesser than others.  David saw he was doing the same thing with these strong willed women, they berated him as well when he disappointed them.  He was recreating the patterns.  As much as he disliked his father’s and lover’s behaviors towards him he found himself attracted to this type of woman.</p>
<p>David continued to identify his behaviors and realizing he was creating them.  It was not his responsibility to change his girlfriends or his father but only him.  He began to step by step forgive his past shortcomings.  As he did he felt more of his personal power come alive.  Then David surprised himself in meeting a woman who was strong but not so aggressive or controlling.  It might not be that he could be with another type of woman but due to his own growth he found a woman that was more evolved in her own issues that his past girlfriends.</p>

<p>Book Review</p>
<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Healing-Shame-That-Binds-You/dp/0932194869">Healing The Shame That Binds Yo</a>u By <a href="http://www.selfgrowth.com/experts/john_bradshaw.html">John Bradshaw</a> is a classic book written over twenty years then revised in 2005.  It is the most comprehensive book covering an emotional topic of shame in known publication.  Practicing Therapy for over thirty years Bradshaw saw that the shame his clients experienced from their parents was the underlying consideration that was the basis of their dysfunctional behaviors.  The more Bradshaw facilitated his clients to process and grow out of their shamed self they experienced wholeness.</p>
<p>In its most basic definition shame is the act of perceiving yourself as less than others.  It is a condition that many children are taught by their parents in numerous from the most direct expressions of parents belittling their children to more subtle forms.  Once the child believes that they are a lesser person it affects how they love them selves and others, as well as what they achieve in life.</p>
<p>The beauty of the book begins with Bradshaw’s in depth descriptions of how shame is created with a variety of case studies.  He is generous in sharing the work of other scholars perspectives making the text the most comprehensive of its topic.  <a href="http://www.alice-miller.com/books_en.php">Alice Miller</a>’s work is noted throughout chapters.</p>
<p>One of the areas that the book excels in is the variety of strategies that therapists and psychologist have used to treat shame-based disorders.  That is one of the beauties of the revision of this text are some of the new modalities of therapy that Bradshaw covers.</p>
<p>This topic is one that reaches very close to the author’s heart as he grew up in a shamed based home.  John tells his own story in various segments of the book revealing in detail the arduous journey he took to recover from his pain.</p>
<p>If you have issues with anger, depression, addiction, control, assertiveness and countless more challenges you most likely would benefit from reading this book.  List price $14.95, 300 pages.</p>

<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>Why are you so protective of opening your heart and sharing with another?</p>
<p>Do you fear that something precious like your heart could not handle the disappointment if it was rejected?</p>
<p>Would one heart really reject another heart?</p>
<p>Could something so infinite like a heart really get hurt?</p>
<p>If you could be daring enough to open to another and allow your heart to express without inhibition what would occur?</p>
<p>It two hearts opened to each other and both minds were willing to receive it, how many fears and separations would fade away?</p>

<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>I was in a class with Access Energy Transformation creator Gary Douglas when Gary told the class that when we die we all become infinite in the place that we return to.  Being a devil’s advocate I asked Gary, “So if that is true, why don’t we all die and become infinite again?”</p>
<p>Gary responded in a most profound way, “Sure we could all die.  But just think if we could become infinite here in a body what great fun it would be.  Imagine being infinite and enjoying such pleasures as food, sex or play.  What awareness of yourself would you be interacting in with the rest of the world?  Wouldn’t that be great fun?”</p>
<p>That was enough of a motivational speech for me.  I wanted to see what it would be like to be in a body and become as conscious as I could possibly be.  Not as a way to get it right with god, or be admired by others, become powerful or be a miraculous healer.  I was curious of how will my life change when I become more of an infinite being?</p>
<p>I had heard the statement from Gary eight years ago and my intention has not changed.  The more aware I become, the more I let go of my limitations I step into a more joyful consciousness.  In some ways being more infinite is more demanding in that you do not turn yourself off with television, substances or dysfunctional relationships.  Too much television is boring, beyond small amounts of alcohol never feels good and I see the potential of crazy relationships before they happen so I do not get involved.</p>
<p>The choice to lead a creative life of writing, exploring, meditation, loving and finding out more of my limitations is too much fun.  With each new discovery of the lies of blocked beliefs resolved I reach a new plateau that opens more joy and awareness in my life.  It feels ecstatically good to change.  This is what the journey of become more consciousness is.</p>
<p>I used to think that finding oneself was a painful and hard path that was not much fun.  Who said that when we look at our mistakes and experiences that we were misused that we have to look onto these events with such dread?  True we may feel sad, anger or shame but the thing to remember is we are letting these things go and joy is around the corner as our reward.  Also the sadness, shame and anger are from our past when we most likely had lesser choices.  We as adults can choose something much better.</p>
<p>When we do the work and receive wholeness in our life not only is it a huge gift for us but for the world as well.  As one more person breaks free and becomes lighter it makes it easier for others to find their own way.</p>
<p>I thank Gary for inspiring us to find a way to become more aware that is fun.  Seriousness has its place in the world of self-improvement but we do not always have to take that path in order to change.</p>

<p>By Bart Sharp</p>
<p>Giving sessions away is always a controversial topic amongst all professionals.  Some say it is honorable while others go cautiously into giving their work away.  I generally offer some of my services by love donation as I know some people cannot afford full payment.</p>
<p>Donna ran a day care service for toddlers out of her home.  At a recent gathering at her home she confided how she was always struggling with her business.  I thought it would be a good ideal to offer her a session being that she was doing honorable work.  I kick myself for not feeling into myself of what it would be like to donate to her life.  If I did I probably would be getting some valuable insights of why ivin a session to Donna was a bad ideal.</p>
<p>Donna came to my home the following Saturday dressed in shorts, orange blouse and sandals, sweating from her bicycle ride over.  During the session she used much of the time telling me the horror stories of her childhood.  I wondered why she wanted my services as the time could have been better spent doing energetic clearings on the experiences.  When I did work she interrupted me to describe more brutal parts of her life.</p>
<p>When leaving she told me since it was donation she would not give me anything.  In that moment I felt cheated as the agreement was not honored.  Donna left with her chest up in the air as if she was defending her position.</p>
<p>By not agreeing to the contract Donna betrayed herself.  It was a message to her own consciousness that she did not deserve the changes I could facilitate in her life.   By stealing or cheating others we tell the universe that we do not have the power within us to manifest it on our own.  I doubt Donna received much from our session because she was not practicing in the present a belief that she could transform.  She was choosing stay overwhelmed with her past believing it had power over her.</p>
<p>The evidence of the session also confirmed how Donna could not receive because the whole focus was about how horrible others had treated her.  She was unwilling to see a pain-free alternative.  One could say that she had been beaten down so hard that she could not see life changing possibilities.  Somewhere in this process a lost person has to choose that they are willing to be found and they are responsible for finding that path.  That decision opens the psyche to begin manifesting change.</p>
<p>I intellectually thought because Donna ran a business she had the initiative to ask for something different.  Most people that create a business do so because they take matters in their own hands for a better life.   My mistake was trusting my logical conclusion instead of asking my intuition.</p>
<p>A friend of mine called and asked if I would work with a woman that was struggling.  I agreed to do another love donation session.</p>
<p>Mau was a middle aged single mother who struggled much of her life.  The session covered various topics as we exchanged stories and clearings.</p>
<p>At the end of the session Mau gave me one dollar and said,  “This is all I have to offer, I wish I had more.  You certainly deserve more.”  The money was exchange and Mau graciously thanked me.</p>
<p>I see Mau from time to time.  She is always happy to see me and I with her.  There was no shame in the monetary exchange because Mau was grateful for my services.  She was honest with me and her self.  The contract was clear.</p>
<p>There is something sticky in the air when I have encounter Donna.  She avoided me in the two times we have crossed paths.</p>
<p>The questions I now ask in regards to sessions for love donations are:<br />
Will this person respect me or feel they are taking advantage of me in some conscious or unconscious way?”</p>
<p>“Would this person be as generous to other people the way they wish me to be for them?”</p>
<p>“Will I feel better about myself after doing the session?”</p>
<p>“Will I feel better about my business after doing the session?”</p>
