“Surround yourself with inspiring beings"

Hello! I am Leni Cavazos the founder of the retreat planner and in today´s session you will know that resistance is real (which resistance you are experiencing) and how it´s blocking your sales!

I have a story to share today from not long ago.. Actually this morning, I relived a previous experience of resistance! As I prepare a new Masterclass where we go deeper into fulfilling our purpose and passion. 

A new topic always shows up in my doorstep… with the opportunity to explore it and embody it for myself. A reminder that moment when I felt the most resistance in my business and if I didn´t shift it I would not be where I am today. 

A reminder if you may, that progress is cyclical and when we are ready for expansion… there´s always a dip … and it usually shows up as resistance in one form or another. 

The reality is that this is our inner child or reptilian brain running towards what they consider safe… We our biggest threat in our own path! 

This takes me back to the week when I wrote a whole book … called Mastering The Art of Retreat Planning and I knew inside of me that it was meant to become a super supportive group program … still, I got stuck in resistance and it took me 8 months to finally launch that program.

I knew that´s what I wanted to do and still, I froze… As I dove deeper into my limiting beliefs I found out that I wasn´t afraid of failure but of success… What would my life look like if I actually get everything that I desire… 

That Feeling that you can´t pinpoint…  where is this big stop sign coming from? 

It took me time to figure out mine… the conversation in my head used to be like… why am I not doing what I know deep inside of me that I want to be doing, I don´t care if it doesn´t sell into my dream numbers, I didn´t get side tracked by negative comments from my family and social media.

And still, I was in resistance… it wasn´t until the moment that I made a choice.. To become the Master of My Life and freaking ignore the fear creeping inside my body and going for it. Now, I have a three step process to change resistance to abundance. 

And oh my god… just look at all of you beautiful souls interconnected with me because we all have the same purpose in common… change the world. 

Working through my resistance, balancing my nervous system and taking that leap of faith in myself! Was what I had to do! 

Is a recurring loop, it will never ever go completely away unless we decide to stay where we are… and maybe the universe will kick you in the back until you do. 

 & I have now the tools to get out of it & that´s what we will explore today!

Let me share an example, of what when we get out of the path of resistance. My client Tiffany, was part of Mastering The Art of Retreat Planning and as we created in 12 weeks the dream retreat she´d be waiting for 6 years to happen. We had to go through many tests of resistance, from having to change venues 2 weeks before the retreat, to having caterers mess up the food, showing up and showing up on Social Media hearing crickets. Guess what after working in her resistance, she hosted a transformational retreat that went beautifully and she had a 100% retention rate! Half of them signed up for the Bali Retreat and the other half are working with her privately. 

What would have happened if she allowed all her resistance (or as I like to call it run forest run mindset) to take over her dreams!

Today, I want to share with you. That together we can defeat all the fears and resistance and have that dream retreat launched in 12-weeks. 

Are you ready to go into Step 1 of our work today?

Our 3 Steps to shift from resistance to abundance, dropping into abundance is key to allowing sales with ease to come through. Shifting how you act in your business can bring 10X more income with a couple of changes.

Step 1: Awareness, gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your environment. 

How do you know when you are in resistance? Obviously whenever you feel stuck, unable to move forward. But Resistance can be sneaky… 

grab a piece of paper and everytime one of the resistances that I will mention is true to you… mark a line … remember this is to bring awareness not judgement

Let´s take 3 deep breaths….

13 - Signs you are in Resistance… 

1. You´re too busy (I have no time)

2. You Procrastinate (I´ll do it later”?)

3. You´re scared into inaction (But, what if…)

4. You Defer Decisions ( You do it, you decide)

5. You Lose interest (This is boring, it´s not my thing)

6. You are forgetful (Oh I meant to, but I forgot)

7. You´re disorganized (Where did I put that)

8. You fog up, you space out (What are you talking about)

9. You feel paralyzed (I just can´t think or get going)

10. You find reasons not to act ( I can´t because)

11. You are impatient (This is taking way to long)

12. You keep taking classes but nothing changes (Oh look another seminar I´ll sign up for)

13. You continually run into nay sayers ( others constantly say “you can´t do that” or “that´s not possible” this is usually a reflection of our inner judgement 

There´s no right or wrong answer, this is our opportunity to look in the mirror… this is the first step into a new version of you… a version that knows what´s happening and now get´s to choose do I stay here in “safety” or do I choose to be the change maker I so much desire

Now how many do you have?

Step 2 is Amend, the capacity for continuous improvement and adaptability. 

For this exercise, I will guide you through a meditation and we will invite our inner child. Please note that this is one of the many techniques that we use inside of my programs, as this one might be enough for some, others might need a different approach.

• Get comfortable

• Close your eyes

• Take three deep, cleansing breaths

• Relax your whole body

• Picture yourself in a safe place - real or imagined, indoors or out 

• In this space, bring in your little girl or boy

• Greet him/her in whatever way feels right

• Find a place where you both can sit comfortably

• Then ask him/her “what was it like for you growing up?

• Let her/him talk and you listen. Don´t offer any advice. Be compassionate and loving 

• Assure her you love her and want her to feel safe and that from now on, you will protect her. 

• Insist you don´t need her /him help anymore, You are going to keep her safe by making healthier choices

• Answer her questions and promise that you´ll never leaver her but will be there whenever she needs you. 

• Before you leave, walk towards your inner child while there´s a white light surrounding the two of you… keep walking towards your inner child until you merge into one being that´s surrounded by whit light. 

• Say goodbye , and tell her you´ll be back

Step 3 is Application, is the translation of knowledge and ideas into practical, real-world actions. 

Now we have the knowledge and ideas, how do we bring it into the real-world with actions.

What do you need to do to change what is so far awareness into actionable action? 

Awareness allows all of us to be on the same playing field. But if you feel that everyone has the same cookie cutter strategy and you are so much more than that … basically that your soul feels like it´s ready to burst out of your body to share it´s message to the world…. I might have what you´ve been looking for.
