SPU – Triggered

Triggered? Discover what to do to manage cognitive, emotional, and energetic triggers. In order to intentionally manifest, you have to stay in high vibration. But what does that mean?

Self Improvement Through Integrating Emotions

Self Improvement Through Integrating Emotions Self improvement through integrating emotions is the second step in preparing to develop your Super Powers. (Read: Personal Growth Step One - Manage Your Mind) After learning how to manage your mind, the next "child" piece of yourself to master is your emotional system. Emotional energy is very different from mental energy and the emotional system requires a delicate touch. Most of us in the Western world are much more comfortable dealing with thoughts than emotions so we tend to turn emotional energy into thoughts, ignore it altogether, or Reiki it out of us. None of these techniques honors the very important role your emotional system plays in your survival and evolution. This is one of the biggest hindrances to people's self improvement. As with the mind, the emotional system is designed to keep you alive. When you get a twinge of [...]

Personal Coaching Step One – Manage Your Mind

Personal Coaching Step One – Manage Your Mind The first step in personal coaching is to manage your mind. Your mind is a magnificent, wonderful, reliable, functional, purposeful, dependable, piece of you. It is NOT you. It is a tool — a database of perceptions, thoughts, fears, programs, memories, etc. designed to keep you alive. And it isn’t real interested in fast, massive, evolutionary changes. But here’s the catch, your mind constantly sends you information to navigate this dangerous, treacherous, worrisome world we live in. It believes you need all of this information in order to survive. And it isn’t completely wrong. However it only knows one part of the story…the past part. Your mind is only helpful when it comes to recalling information about where you’ve been, the world you’re already familiar with, the place most of us strive to move beyond. The mind cannot help guide you where you’re going. [...]

The Conscious Experience – Unplugged

The Conscious Experience – Unplugged The conscious experience is what some of us chase where we’re called to create our existence. This is a common conversation amongst new age, metaphysical, spiritual folks, but when you reach the point of complete freedom to create, it takes on a whole new depth. Those of us driven to serve in a selfless way toward creating higher levels of consciousness tend to seek signs, drift in the flow, and basically defer to Spirit for our general life plan. I think this is a necessary step for some. It takes us to a place of complete faith and utter surrender. But what happens next? Some of us agree to take our knowing of Truth to a higher level. And this is where true creating occurs. […]

True Transformation to Personal Power

True Transformation to Personal Power As I sit and compare these images, I marvel at the concept of True Transformation in a quest for Personal POWER. The process is so much bigger than dying my hair red and going from a size 22 to a size 8. Those are just the outer reflections of a deep, intrinsic transformation. I married my POWER partner five years ago. I knew then that hidden deep within the person I’d become was the person I intended to be. I knew he saw her and I knew I needed his support to truly become her. Despite the fact that I was an accomplished, successful, educated, confident, aware woman, the wounds I carried ran so deep that I kept hitting walls trying to heal them. I see this in my clients also. There are levels of ourselves that exist so far beneath the surface that [...]

Transformation Step 4 – Mastering Physical Energy

Transformation Step 4 – Mastering Physical Energy A few months ago I swore that mastering the emotional body was THE most important step in The 5 Steps of Transformation. Silly me. I suppose I should be used to this journey by now and recognize that each step of the way there are phases to come I can only vaguely anticipate. And even though I “get” that the 5 Steps continue throughout our lives as we grow and change, when I was knee deep in Step 3 I assumed the others would be a breeze. In fact, this is a direct quote from my original post: Once the emotional body is mastered in Step 3, the rest is smooth sailing. This [the fourth] step requires processing change through the cellular memory of the physical body. Usually once the spirit, mind and emotional body are on track, the physical body follows with [...]

The Symbolism of Personal Power

The Symbolism of Personal Power The tunnels of light pass by me, through me, as I drift further and further into the abyss. Once a frightening and foreshadowing passage, the familiarity now wraps me in a comfortable knowingness, a feeling of coming home. I allow the process to unfold (can we ever really rush it?) and journey to exactly the right place. I pass through countless realms and silently observe nameless creatures long forgotten or shrouded now in mythology. This time I land in a space of infiniteness. The darkness consumes me until a ball of light moves into focus and shapes itself into a planet-like sphere. It emanates bright yellow-orange. As I witness, bright red clouds drift around it swirling on all sides. The clouds take form and become hands shaping the planet in a swirling, undulating embrace. The voice says, “And here we just play with [...]

Developing Personal Power in a Crowd

Developing Personal Power in a Crowd How do you develop your personal POWER in the midst of people who want to make you exactly like them? I spent the last few days at our home-away-from-home (ironic since we travel full time and don’t have a home…but work with me here). We belong to an entrepreneur group that is more family than business at this point. We trust that community to help us raise our daughter and we develop relationships that serve to catalyze our personal and professional growth. We’re known as the “due diligence” people and we consult and advise companies regarding their due diligence and risk assessment needs. Over the last year, as we continue to show up in integrity and service, people seek me out to help them with their more personal needs. They come to me and confess that there are things they don’t know and [...]

How to Master Emotions – Step 3 in Transformation

How to Master Emotions – Step 3 in Transformation This is the follow-up article to The Importance of Mastering Emotions in Transformation post. As I promised, this one outlines the actual process for moving through this step. I want to preface this by saying that this process works for most triggers. It takes a bit of practice in order for the impact to take hold but after a couple times it really becomes second nature. There are some emotional triggers that run so deep this process won’t work. But for your run-of-the-mill triggers of frustration, anger, control, annoyance, jealousy, etc. it should do the trick. […]

Why Personal Force is NOT Personal Power

Why Personal Force is NOT Personal Power An Arizona Cardinals cheerleader recently made the news because she allegedly chose to invoke force instead of personal POWER. Part of the reason people shy away from conversations about POWER is the misconception that POWER and force are the same thing. This recent incident in Arizona is a fantastic example of what happens when people choose force (i.e. manipulation, physical abuse, etc.) over POWER. […]

The Importance of Mastering Emotions in Transformation

The Importance of Mastering Emotions in Transformation By far the biggest obstacle thwarting transformation for folks is the third step of the Transformation Process, Mastering Emotions. By far. And this is THE persnickety piece keeping people from achieving personal POWER. For whatever reason, we completely grasp the first two steps of Spirit and Mind. We understand on some level the law of attraction and that thoughts become things. But then we like to skip over step three entirely and move right into Body, cellular memory and energy work. It’s as though we’re fine talking about what our spirits envision and what our minds think. And we’re even fine admitting that we might have residual energy stored somewhere (especially since energy practitioners can take care of that for us). But for some reason, we do NOT like dealing with our emotions. […]

The 5 Steps of Transformation: A Personal Power Perspective

The 5 Steps of Transformation: A Personal Power Perspective The path to personal power necessarily requires transformation. In order to Stand in Your Power you must be able to move away from where you don't. Those in personal development circles debate the intricacies of true transformation. And few know better the multidimensionality of human behavior than a former counterintelligence agent with degrees in intercultural communication and critical theory. But here it is, the absolute secret of transformation. Ready for it?? The secret is... It doesn't matter. Really it doesn't. People transform constantly, despite our quest to define it, describe it, control it, guide it, and explain it. People transform because they want to. They perceive the altered state to be better for them or necessary for them and so they persevere through the change process. It's that simple. But I'm going to share my knowledge about it anyway. Why? [...]

The Ego Wrangler Rides Again: Personal Power Meets Ego

The Ego Wrangler Rides Again: Personal Power Meets Ego Where there’s a soul in trouble, she’ll be there. Where there’s personal power to be gained, she’ll be there. Where there’s a willing spirit in Ego’s clutches, she’ll be there. Where there’s work to be done for the world, the Ego Wrangler will save the day. (First fantasy allegories and now western spoofs…what’s this blog coming to?? Does the quest for personal power know no bounds?) I rode toward the sunset on my trusty steed, power, ready for the day to be over. Though, of course, the Ego Wrangler ‘s job is never truly done. Whether in dreaming or waking the Wrangler battles Ego’s stranglehold and destroys Ego’s grip on the willing. Ego never rests, so neither do I. […]

The Allegory of the Snake: Personal Power through Change

The Allegory of the Snake: Personal Power through Change One of the most important aspects of personal POWER development is the concept of change. Few symbols embody death and rebirth as powerfully as the snake. I walked through the cave wondering what awaited me. I saw the eyes shining in the crevices. Bright red-orange eyes glowing from the darkness. So many of them. Hundreds or more. And yet, I felt no fear. I continued to walk deeper into the cave knowing the symbolism, sensing it. I’d been here before in a different time, a different place, but the sense of déjà vu consumed me. Even within the vision I knew the depths of my subconscious and the journey into them. They called to me like home. […]

Personal Power and Youth: They Get It

Personal Power and Youth: They Get It Since the topics of race, gender and relationship rights-and-wrongs seem to be hot right now, why not continue? The oh-so-popular-and-wholesome cereal, Cheerios, recently pulled all comments from a commercial on YouTube because the slander got so ridiculous. The issue? A biracial couple with the audacity to procreate. Never mind that the girl in the commercial is adorable and her only concern is her father’s health. And never mind that it’s really only a cereal commercial that actually highlights empathy as a positive childhood trait. It was simply too much for the masses to deal with a blatantly mixed-racial couple. […]

A Little Note About Personal Power

A Little Note About Personal Power Personal POWER is true, intrinsic strength. It has nothing to do with inserting your will over others or stepping on people to get what you want. It has everything to do with establishing a foundation of inner knowing and truth for yourself. This foundation is the only possible launch point of great service. In order to truly help others or promote social change from a place of service one must first traverse the waters of personal development. - TDR

Confessions of a Bully – Part 2

Confessions of a Bully – Part 2 In the last post on bullying I mentioned the power of our language patterns in encouraging bullying behavior. We use sarcasm, passive aggressive, veiled threats, discipline and totally socially-acceptable conversation patterns to such goodness from each other because it provides temporary soothing to the gaping wound of our own disempowerment. And we wonder why our kids “bully.” (Link to post) This connection between “socially-acceptable conversation patterns” and bullying continues to emerge around me. As I looked deeper into the roots of personal POWER I was led to the concepts of bullying and the persistence of violent behavior. And I found there’s an undeniable thread between how we view other people and our ability to manipulate them to get what we want. […]

Confessions of a Bully

Confessions of a Bully When people don’t like themselves very much, they have to make up for it. The classic bully was actually a victim first. Tom Hiddleston Hello, my name is Tonya Dawn…and I’m a bully. Well, I like to think I used to be, but sometimes the knowledge of how to manipulate people runs so deep that I find myself invoking those skills without realizing it. Maybe it’s like any other addiction and the best you can hope for is to actively and consciously choose not to indulge. Regardless, with the current state of the world and conversations popping up about tactics and techniques people use to bend, mold and break others to their will, I figured I might as well come clean. For whatever reason, the concept of bullying continues to emerge in my conversations. I talk to a lot of parents who express concerns [...]

Due Diligence and Personal Power

Due Diligence and Personal Power Between our due diligence work and our awareness mentoring, we get a lot of questions about whether or not people truly can avoid disasters. The latest incidents seem to involve scared and disgruntled people seeking revenge. Of course, nationally the news about Christopher Dorner had folks asking if he gave any indication of homicidal tendencies before lashing out (CNN article). And on a smaller scale from the Phoenix area we received calls from small businesses afraid they might suffer from the next Harmon-type incident (Yahoo! News article). […]

The Personal Power of Pink

The Personal Power of Pink As 2013 picks up steam, life appears to be getting back to the “new normal.” Everyone seemed a bit hesitant to jump right in to business-as-usual following the 2012 ups-and-downs. But the energy feels different now. The energy feels…well, it feels a bit…expectant. Not like the held-breath expectation of months prior, but the steady, confident, pulsing flow of creating. The world is ripe for new ideas and collaborative movements. People want to connect and believe and do stuff that matters. My clients struggle with different things, but they all circle around the same thing…people want purpose. They want to have a purpose, connect with purpose and act on purpose. The single biggest epidemic of our times is people don’t know how to be…on purpose. This is the POWER of Pink™. […]

The Personal Power of No

The Personal Power of No (Excerpted from W.A.R. – Watch, Assess, React: The Ultimate Guide to Personal POWER and Safety) I was shocked when I finally grasped the personal POWER of saying no. We hear it all the time, but it seems that the full impact of this tiny little word has been lost on some of us. By simply going though the motions of saying no, with conviction, you send a message to your brain and you body that the situation you’re in isn’t conducive to your well-being and it sets wheels in motion to counter it. Essentially, saying no gives your body and brain permission to fight back. Just the act of saying the word centers your mind and calls upon your resolve. […]

Today’s Wonder Woman: A New Personal Power Model

Today’s Wonder Woman: A New Personal Power Model I have to admit upfront that a little girl with an extreme Wonder Woman crush prompted this post and its connection to personal power. Deep in the trenches of princesses and faeries, my 3 year-old daughter integrates feminine energy with her ingrained hero archetype. And when I’m most clear and centered, I see the absolute perfection in how she navigates the various female models thrown at her. I’ll explain further. This image of Cathy Lee Crosby as Wonder Woman in 1974, ironically, represents Today’s Wonder Woman in a very magical way. In all of her creative power, my daughter managed to meet, befriend and adore Cathy Lee. And in turn, Cathy Lee showed her that Super Heroes can have open and loving hearts. This is the true embodiment of personal power and integration of strength and love. […]

Situational Awareness

Situational Awareness The first step in gaining control over your environment is to start being vigilant. Vigilant is defined as “being alertly watchful, especially to avoid danger.” Anyone who’s been involved with law enforcement knows to be constantly aware of her/his surroundings. This vigilance is called situational awareness. The purpose of being vigilant is to train your eyes, mind and body to remain in a state of awareness that allows you to react to situations more quickly that you could from an unaware state. Truthfully, you should strive to be vigilant at all times. When you get home for the night and are locked away safely from the world, you can let your guard completely down, but until then, it’s best to remain vigilant. Now before you start arguing with me about having to be vigilant at all times, let me help you understand what this means. I like [...]

The World Will Be Saved By the Queen

The World Will Be Saved By the Queen I see women. I see a lot of women. Maybe moreso now than ever because of the transition I made in my life. The irony of this is not lost on me since over 5 years ago I wrote the book on seeing (W.A.R. – Watch, Assess, React). But this is different. Now I SEE women. I’ve always seen people. In ways many people don’t. Of course, this was heightened by my military and government training. But I never totally understood all of the information I gathered, especially about women. Now I do and I’m excited…and saddened at the same time. […]

Do Women Make Better Leaders?

Do Women Make Better Leaders? I keep seeing articles about how women make better leaders and how we must have feminine-energy based leadership models. I concur…sort of. I think that balanced people make better leaders and we must have balance-based leadership models. Historically, women expressed more interest in exploring issues of personal and spiritual development, so it stands to reason there may be more women who actively integrate masculine and feminine energies than men. But, a disempowered, off-balance woman and a disempowered, off-balance man are equally detrimental as leaders. […]

The Queen Power Era

The Queen Power Era A new era, the Queen power era, is moving forward. “Moving” may be too kind. A new era is rushing, no flooding, no – surg-peding forward. Yes, thats it, precisely, a herd of elephants led by a tsunami…a very apt description. Most women I know walk around these days with a look of utter shock and bewilderment on their faces. They continue to perform their womanly, motherly partner-ly duties, but the feeling of being sucked up into a cyclone of chance and perpetual growth seems rampant. Why? What’s going on that has so many of us reeling? Well, not surprisingly, I have a theory. And my theory is this: the era of woman as the weaker sex truly is coming to an end. I know, I know, this isn’t an original theory, but stick with me on this. Oh, and I realize that the women’s [...]

Personal Power is THE Solution

Those who stand in their personal POWER powerfully serve. — TDR — As the escalation of turmoil continues in our society and past tried-and-true methods no longer work, thought-leaders frantically search for a solution. The irony is that the solution is simple. I don’t suggest that the very real issues facing us right now are trivial, but their resolution can only come from one place…within. This isn’t a kum-ba-yah-join-hands-and-sing concept. This is deeper and much more serious than that. The very POWER we seek to resolve this mess is the same we carry — and have always carried — inside. In an attempt to touch the surface of this concept, I offer the imagery of head/heart, ego/spirit, separate/integrated, etc. By trying to heal very deep and embedded wounds of our societies and selves, the solution must derive from very deep and embedded aspects of personal POWER.
