Teal Swan's The Completion Process

I've been following Teal Swan for about 6 years now, and I have learned so much, about myself, about learning to accept myself, take risks and more. I've also tried learning about others, but I feel it hasn't been as easy to do so because I'm currently living with my parents.  It's been a slow process, but I believe I'm ready to start venturing outside of my comfort zone and put myself out there.

Teal has a few healing practices that she talks about, but two of the ones that I've been trying to get better at are learning how to find healing and alignment in parts work, and The Completion Process.

I'm actually going to speak with a Completion Process Practitioner tomorrow, so this may be a good way for me to get an idea of how the process works, especially when you're dealing with another person who understands moreso (from training with Teal) about how to improvise with the raw emotions that come up. Emotions, images, memories and thoughts that you need to talk through in the moment, where you will have to intuit what Teal talks about in her book, and work through creatively.

I recently tried doing parts work, by using one of Teal's articles on it, in order to understand the parts within me that may not be aligned with each other. The parts that I chose to work on were specifially regarding my weight. It was the part that wants to cut down on over-eating, and the part that wants to over-eat to deal with the boredom. It's been a few days, and I have to admit I'm still in the process of coming to terms with my eating habits...I over-ate last night and a few days before, however, tonight may be different...I tried listening to these parts.

The part of me that doesn't want to over-eat is telling me that I need to occupy my mind and energy into something so that I won't feel the need to over-stimulate my brain with food. The part that does want to over-eat is basically telling me the same thing. It needs to over-eat in order to cope with the intense boredom that I am feeling.  The neutral-observer self part of me (as Teal recommends using), feels like it is actually pressuring both parts of me (the one that wants to over-eat, and the part that doesn't) to do something, to be productive in some way, and in a way that I haven't exactly figured out yet. I feel that this may have something to do with my purpose.

Okay, so the question is, Did I find alignment with these parts? Well, I'm not completely sure, as I've been struggling with over-eating the past few days. However, as of right now, I'm in the process of writing this, and this could possibly be the thing that my body needs me to be doing in order to find a stimulus other than food. It could just be using my mental energy and inputting it somewhere.

So, that's where I'm at. I'm going to do a few more blogs and talk at length about what other thoughts I have, and what other plans I may try to engage in.

Thanks so much for reading, if you came this far! Toodles!
