Full Dimensional Living
Soon, Full Dimensional Living (FDL) will have its own website, while this page will remain a portal to that site. On July 17th my business partner and co-creator of FDL, Lisa Beaty, and myself will be presenting an overview of the philosophy of this unique program at the National Wellness Conference in Stevens Point, WI.
For now, I want to briefly introduce you to Full Dimensional Living.
It began as a map - a map of the Self. Not just a flat rendering of various parts, nor a diagram of developmental stages, but a dynamic living model of who we are. Imagine a series of concentric circles shaped like a funnel, moving inward, growing deeper. Each circle is a dimension of the Self, and each dimension is already and ever-present, though not all may be in our awareness. There are eight dimensions, beginning with the Persona and moving to the Absolute.
Key to understanding the Full Dimensional Life Map is knowing its purpose: to provide a visual template of the Self that also reveals the path of transformation.
Each dimension is necessary in order to live our fullest potential. And through our work with clients - and in our own personal work - we have found that there is a particular movement, a particular direction of growth, that provides the greatest change and development. When one of the dimensions is “skipped,” or not worked with, stagnation and blockage occurs.
It is essential to understand that none of the eight dimensions are meant to be outgrown - done away with. This includes the first, the most outer dimension that we call the Persona, but that may also be known as the Ego. In many personal growth programs this aspect of our being is seen as “bad,” one that should be demolished. In Full Dimensional Living the goal is not to bring about the end of the Persona but to positively strengthen it, transforming it into a vehicle for authentic expression in the world. In our program, we learn how to do that, and how to work with each of the dimensions in the same way.
Another key to Full Dimensional Living is: Awareness first.
In our program we use a four step process for growth, beginning with awareness. Only what we are aware of can we use for our conscious evolution. What we are not aware of, however, can use us.
At the core of the Full Dimensional Living Program are 3-day intensives, focused on the Discovery Process. For 3 days we will traverse the map of the Self, deepening our awareness of each dimension and learning practices, processes and tools for integrating each into the whole of who we are.
What makes Full Dimensional Living different from every other program out there?
- It provides a unique lens for self-revelation - the Full Dimensional Life Map
- It understands the path that must be taken for real change, real transformation to occur, refusing earth-bound denial or spiritual bypass.
- It is all-inclusive, diving deeper and expanding wider, incorporating both sides of the natural states of balance, shadow and light, being and doing.
- It leaves you not with a prescribed method for growth, but with a map and the tools necessary to live the adventure of becoming your greatest Self.
Lisa and I share a great passion for helping others claim and become what we call their “Big S Self” - the greatest and most authentic expression of who they are. It’s a journey of growth we are committed to for ourselves. Through Full Dimensional Living we have found a way to incorporate and integrate our knowledge, wisdom and passion - our own Inner Poetry - and share it with the world.
