Processing Personality

Personality is processed in all phases of our energy and bodywork, through Process Acupressure One and Two, and Soul Lightening 1 and 2. Personality material, in structure and themes, is constantly related to corresponding body and energy patterns. For example, hunched shoulders may relate to an early loss of self-esteem, derived from an overcritical mother and a corresponding slumping of the upper body to protect inhibition. Or the same physical condition might relate to a lack of heart love and withdrawal from others. Rather than interpret such a condition, and label it according to some preconceived set of standards, we rely on the person’s direct expression and process that part of the body to reveal the underlying reason and resolution. Throughout, we encourage more personality awareness and inquiry, and the updating of those influences that no longer serve each individual.

In Process Acupressure 2, we examine the multiple parts of a personality, especially as they relate to parts of the body and stages of development. For example, the head could relate to an intellectual part whose analytical assessment of events precludes heart and body involvement. Or the head could just as easily relate to a dreamer part of that person, someone who resists grounding, or actualizing his or her dreams. The pelvis can express sexual themes or perhaps aggression. The legs can relate to the ability to be “realistic” and to ground plans. Hands can be associated with one’s chosen work, such as playing music or sculpting clay. A spoiled child part can be trapped in the era of over-indulgent parents and expect adult companions to treat him like his parents did. On the other hand, an abused child part will expect to be abused in adult relationships.

The origins, configurations and purposes of parts are unlimited. Only individual processing can reveal exactly how parts were developed and how they serve, or limit, a particular person. The right resolution or updating of parts to serve in the present can be shown through the individual’s process. We teach a person how to process parts for his or her own benefit and how to integrate them into a functional whole that will serve that person’s present growth and fulfillment.

Personality work can extend over a lifetime, since there are always deeper layers for exploration. Our principal aim in personality work, however, is to teach the process skills that will enable each person to continue to do the mental, emotional and physical work that can facilitate functional wellbeing in the present and continue to support soul actualization.
