Autism Part 2, Regulation, Unmasking, Late diagnosis, Being yourself, Finding community

We had some great questions based off the last video, so here's Part 2! Less about Reiki and more about the questions you asked: 1. What helped Ella with regulation? 2. How to cope with executive disfunction (decision making) 3. What is pattern recognition 4. "Coming out" as autistic - who do you tell, and when and how do you go about doing it? 5. Learning to unmask, especially around people you've know for a while. 6. Autism, masking and culture 7. How do we build a network of friends and a community of support? 8. Resources and books, especially on late diagnosis in women? I think we could have done one video on each of these topics! Maybe we will?

Awareness Simply Is. Only Ego Thinks it is Choosing.

The enticement of the personal growth world is full of half-baked promises of "be more spiritual, be more awake, be more enlightened and you'll know what to do, you'll be guided, you'll be better, more content, more happy, more more more, oh and by the way, give me money and I'll show you how". This is simply not true. More peaceful? Maybe. More alert, aware, awake? Definitely. But the promise of the big fat cookie at the end of all your work is simply ego keeping you from waking up. Don't buy into this BS! What has being awake got to do with happiness? What has being aware got to do with success, or clarity, or direction, or purpose? Its just more stress, more grafting, more "I/this am/is not enough".

A Better Way to Work with Affirmations

Affirmations can be a powerful way to shift negative thought patterns for a more positive self talk, we discuss this in more detail and the advantage of working with one focal point at a time.

Hold Your Beliefs Lightly

Belief systems of any sort are your mind's way of feeling secure, but ultimately, none of them are true, so hold them lightly. If they are helpful, keep them, but if they cause stress or fear, its time to remind yourself you are simply experiencing life through the eyes and mind of a human form, but it is temporary and illusory. You are not your beliefs, and you do not need beliefs to be safe or secure.
