Well I will post anyway.) So I was triggered at work at least a hundred times today. Any free minute where I wasn't grading papers, or helping students, or answering questions, or giving advice, i was in my mind being triggered by his inaction. I was so angry i felt it all over my body but mostly in my head, where I hold the bulk of my tension and results in headaches and restlessness. Then my back hurts and my stomach clenches and is aggravated then I release gas (I'm sorry but that's what happens). I passed alot today, when I'm feeling like this I don't eat as much or I eat too much so my system is thrown off all around. I keep replaying things that happened in my mind and I just want them to go away and be happy and its makes me angry that things don't go this way. And the fact that he doesn't call or reach me continues to trigger me in this way because I feel guilty for not calling him, then I feel afraid that if he does call he will leave a nasty message or say something hurtful to me, and then i will get defensive and loud and aggressive (which mostly happens) or shut down completely. I heard a beautiful new song from Beyonce today and it triggered me to tears but i think they were mixed tears from being hopeful that i can have that love and angry that this man is not showing up right now after all this time of loving him may not be it. I got the headache all over again. (Does anybody check this section anymore? Well I will post anyway.)

I am VERY excited tomove forward in the process and have been feeling really great all weekend...really trying to stay IN my emotions and not run from them but love each and every one of them and of course myself every moment of every day. Not only that but you know how afraid I was of the weekend coming up on Friday but this past weekend was the most wonderful weekend that I have had in a very long time. I ACTUALLY FELT AT PEACE WITH ME!!! :-) I was so careful to stay IN my emotions and be aware of what was going on inside me and to my surprise, Charles and I had a wonderful weekend...... together! Not only that but on Saturday he noticed that I was quiet and distant (not in a negative way though) and had ALOT on my mind and HE...not me.... but HE initiated a talk! We were sitting in the garage on the couch -taking a break from yard work and had a wonderful talk where HE was the one to tell me with absolutely NO QUESTIONING on my part that we will be ok...that we will make it and that everything will be ok. I told him how scared I have been feeling about having to move from our home and how hurt, angry and betrayed I have felt toward him and how I have felt as though I have not had any security since he told me that we will get married but he does not know when. He actually listened and HE was the one to tell me that we will make it and that we will be ok!! I was stunned and so happy. I used feeling messages all weekend and he was loving, caring, and attentive all weekend to the degree that he had originally had plans to go with his brother to see their cousin on Sunday but those plans fell through and then he was going to go somewhere else with his brother and those plans fell thru but instead of going out by himself - which I completely expected - HE CHOSE to spend the entire day and evening with me! I could not believe it Rori...I was so shocked and so happy about that. HE made the choice to spend all day and night yesterday with me. I could not believe it - I was so happy about that. I do have a question though....you had mentioned in an earlier post that as I move forward in the process that he will indeed move closer but that I need to beware of that. Can you clarify that part for me please? I am feeling so excited Rori about all that happened this past weekend with Charles but even more so with the fact that even though he was home and we were together ...and having a great time....I was still trying to keep my focus on ME, on being a pond, and on letting HIM take care of ME....and I think for the first time in my life...I did that! YAYAY!!! :-) Can't wait for my next steps Rori..... With love and another huge hug.... Cassandra HI Rori,

I am feeling better and when I get into one of those deep, dark, awful places I try to immediately remember your tools. it is funny now because within these last few days I have gone from having no journals to having 4!!! LOL Oh well.....I want to do whatever I have to do to change ME for ME! :-) Thanks for all of your support.....one question though.....what do I do for the channeling and teh action steps that you had mentioned and am I ready to move to that yet or should I hang out in this step for a while using these tools for a little while longer until they are a part of me? Thanks Rori....love and hugs... Cassandra Hi Rori and thank you so much.

Your singing IS a blessing - to yourself and everyone around you. I can feel you getting the hang of this and slowly feeling better so much more of the time. I hear you being less and less afraid. What will happen is you'll experience having more ENERGY - because it won't be all tied up and stuck in RESISTING your feelings. Love, Rori Cassandra, I’m so thrilled for you. Your singing IS a blessing – to yourself and everyone around you.

I can feel you getting the hang of this and slowly feeling better so much more of the time. I hear you being less and less afraid.

What will happen is you’ll experience having more ENERGY – because it won’t be all tied up and stuck in RESISTING your feelings.

Love, Rori

HOw can I do what I am suposed to do? When I am singing if I don't allow myself to feel the sad, hurt and pain in a song then how can I move anyone else?.....now I actually remember that I have been told by people that I don't even know that when I am singing that they were so moved because I really felt what it was that I was singing about so SEE! That is a good thing YAY for me!! :-) ...no a great thing actually....now I can't wait to get back into rehearsals....I can't wait to get back into the studio and do what I am supposed to be doing....all of these opportunities have been coming my way and I have been saying NO because of what Charles thinks or feels but he no longer gets a say so.....I get to make that decision about when, if and where I will sing again......but I feel scared to go against what he says right now because I am still living in our/his home....I hate that I am living here...I hate that I ever moved here.....I want to be ok with that ....i want to feel proud that I took a chance rather than feel angry and hateful toward him and myself for taking me out of what I know for something that was not even real.....he is not who he said that he is...not at all.....I am the strong one here though...he is the coward...I took a leap of faith and even though I fell on my face..I stepped out there...most people would stay in their box because that feels safe but NO! I stepped out there.....I am proud of that...I feel good because of that....I steppd out there with courage....I love that about me...it makes me strong....it makes me different......it makes me special.....so what if HE is the one that is too scared to move forward...I want to be with someone who is the BOY...who is strong and wil let ME be the girl......I am feeling sad about losing one of my best friends....perhaps I haven't lost that friendship but it feels like I have and that makes me feel so sad.....I already feel like i have lost everything else......my heart feels so heavy as though someone is sitting on it so it can't breath...it can't get the blood thru it and it is a sad.....dark suffocating feeling....hey that is the same way that I feel when Charles is home now......dark....deep.....oblivious....as though there is no light anywhere around me anymore..... as though I am at the bottom of the ocean where there is no light...no warmth....no anything.......and I am all alone down there in that place.....it is scary.....even my lungs feel heavy as though I am breathing through a piece of fabric and have to take deeper breaths because of being so constricted.....just as I acknowledged THAT I felt this wonderful feeling of FREE come over me for a moment and it made me smile...it felt like sunshine......I think that my heart even smiled.....I am scared that Charles is coming home soon...I don't want him to come yet...i want to still get to work on me without him around....well I guess though that this will be an opportunity to see how far I have come even in these last few days....there is the Haloween BBQ tonight and though I have have been looking forward to it I no longer want to go as it will be Charles and I and 5 other guys....I actually don't want to spend this evening with him at all....I don't feel desparate to be with him tonight....i feel like I want to be home ....here in front of the computer working on ME...this feels so awesome...I feel lighter now......I feel like there is light in my heart right now.....even the tension on my forhead feels to have have lifted and my shoulders are no longer up to my ears......this feels good....it feelso good to NOT want to be with him tonight even though I have been looking forward to this for weeks...of course I thought that the Moms and kids would be there but that all changed......maybe it changed for me? Perhaps God worked that all out so that I could see that I do WANT to have ME time without Charles...where I don't WANT to be with him....last night in our conversation he said that he was looking forward to seeing me when he got home today..I don't want to be here when he gets home...I want to be out at the gym perhaps?....I feel good not wanting to be with him...to not want to spend tonight with him.....I have not felt like this in a long long while....ever actually...I have always weanted to spend time with him especially after being alone all week long but TODAY is different....I have made today different!!! ......I want to be with ME! I love me for that...I love me for the work that I am doing here...I love me for all my emotions...the good and the bad which are really good ones too just disguised for a little while until they are freed and then they get to see their good side.....i think that this is a whole new breakthrough for me......I have never felt so accepting of ME of my emotions and have certainly never loved them..... I have always fetl shame around them...I love me for that!.....I think that I am going to go learn a new song and then go to the gym .......this feels so good it is beyond words......YAY for me!!!!! I love me and am going to what I want to do. :-) Thank you so much Rori for teaching all of these tools you are freeing women each day from the bondage of their emotions...You have no idea the depth of your gift but we all do...thank you. I cannot wait to get your input on this post...I am so excited that I literally feel as though I am floating above the clouds..... with so much love and thanks and of course a big hug....oh also I didn't understand about the channeling step.

This is tremendously helpful to me as I go through these steps I have not been too sure if I have been on track. I am not sure that I understand the Channeling though. Also, in my post above was that a combination of problem, flip, riff and deep sensations? I know for sure it was problem and flip but I was not sure if it was Riff and Deep Sensations and if it was the latter 2...it was totally by accident! LOL At least if it was...it was a good accident! :-) I have been noticing all throughout these last few days that I am completely immersed in my own thoughts and how I feel physically....as in what is going on in my body. I have never been so aware of what is going on inside me like this before.....and I find myself constantly thinking....'ok...what am I feeling.....what am I focusing on..the problem or the flip" it is an awesome feeling and I have even noticed that I have not been so hard on myself when the 'bad' feelings come rushing in to the degree that during the awful call with my fiance' or whatever he is I definitely had those feelings of 'I am not good enough' so I tuned him out and walked myself thru what I think is the process... "OK...so I don't feel good enough...that's ok.....because I know that I am good enough even if he does not treat me as thoug I am...who is he to decide if I am good enough or not? Even if I wasn't good enough then that's ok too because who made the rules about who is good enough and who is not? I am good enough and that's that...who cares what he thinks or does or even feels...I AM GOOD ENOUGH and to hell with him if he can't see that right now or ever.......I want things to be right with him...I want him to be happy to hear my voice and excited to be coming home to me tomorrow...He said that he can't wait to see me tomorrow...I don't believe him...I want to believe him but I don't...He also said thqat he does hope that once I move that GOD will work in both of us and in our relationship and fix things and bring us back together....I want to believe him but I don't.....how crazy is that? Move out so that GOD can fix things only to move be back home again? I don't believe him at all.......He says that he wants to spend Saturday and Saturday night together....I don't want to spend time with him....ok yes I do want to spend time with him but I am not sure that I should.....I think that he is just biding his time until I move.......he says that he is not and that this is all hard on him too...i want it to be hard on him.....I am scared that he is coming home tomorrow I want him to come home...I don't want him to come home...I want him to love me still.....and that's ok to want that but is that good for me...does he deserve me? I want him to love me and I hate wanting him to love me...I have a good heart and both he and I know it...." I was able to tune him out for a moment to get into the steps at least for a minute and that in itself felt so good. I still don't know what the channeling is though..can you help me on that one Rori? :-) As far as a plan.....where can I live? Well once I get a job that can support me I can live anywhere I want to....I want to move far away from here....I don't want to be far away from him in case things do work out.....I will so miss our home...our yard....our trees and mums and my rabbits.......my pool.....can things work out or do I just need to close my heart to that? I don't know what to do about that. When i move, due to money I figured that I wouold stay in the same city but I dont' have to...I can go anywhere I want..how cool is that? Who gets to go anywhere they want to? I can go anywhere! WOW! I don't think that I want to go too far away though....part of me still wants to be close to him in case things do work out but if they don't I am still within a 6 hour drive of all of my closest friends. I do like it here though..I like this city...it is slow and peaceful and they do have Salsa dancing! I really don't know where I will go or what I will do. I can't really decide that until I have a job.....As far as a job, I am looking every single day but so are the other 7000 people here that are out of work. I know that something will come but I have to keep trying....it is like that all over the country though. That part really does not upset me that much because I know that it will come...the pard part ofthat is that without that job...I am stuck here....that does not feel good. Thank you so much Rori....Your encouragement means the world to me. With love and hugs.... Cassandra Rori,

Move out so that GOD can fix things only to move be back home again? I don’t believe him at all…….He says that he wants to spend Saturday and Saturday night together….I don’t want to spend time with him….ok yes I do want to spend time with him but I am not sure that I should…..I think that he is just biding his time until I move…….he says that he is not and that this is all hard on him too…i want it to be hard on him…..I am scared that he is coming home tomorrow I want him to come home…I don’t want him to come home…I want him to love me still…..and that’s ok to want that but is that good for me…does he deserve me? I want him to love me and I hate wanting him to love me…I have a good heart and both he and I know it….”

I was able to tune him out for a moment to get into the steps at least for a minute and that in itself felt so good. I still don’t know what the channeling is though..can you help me on that one Rori? :-)

As far as a plan…..where can I live? Well once I get a job that can support me I can live anywhere I want to….I want to move far away from here….I don’t want to be far away from him in case things do work out…..I will so miss our home…our yard….our trees and mums and my rabbits…….my pool…..can things work out or do I just need to close my heart to that? I don’t know what to do about that.

When i move, due to money I figured that I wouold stay in the same city but I dont’ have to…I can go anywhere I want..how cool is that? Who gets to go anywhere they want to? I can go anywhere! WOW! I don’t think that I want to go too far away though….part of me still wants to be close to him in case things do work out but if they don’t I am still within a 6 hour drive of all of my closest friends. I do like it here though..I like this city…it is slow and peaceful and they do have Salsa dancing! I really don’t know where I will go or what I will do. I can’t really decide that until I have a job…..As far as a job, I am looking every single day but so are the other 7000 people here that are out of work. I know that something will come but I have to keep trying….it is like that all over the country though. That part really does not upset me that much because I know that it will come…the pard part ofthat is that without that job…I am stuck here….that does not feel good.

Thank you so much Rori….Your encouragement means the world to me.
With love and hugs….
Cassandra

Now - I want you to keep working with these Tools because I want you to get to the "Channeling" one. I want you to start being "creative" about what you can do for yourself now. That means sit down and write out all your options - where to live, where to get a job - everything, as if he were not in the picture. As you're writing - all kinds of stuff is going to come up - work with the feelings exactly as you're doing now - and KEEP GOING. After you do the Channeling Post, you'll have an ACTION list, and I want you to continually move through the process - Problem - Flip - Riff - Deep Sensations - Channel Actions....so that you feel stronger every time a challenge arises.
