Scott: Hi, I'm Scott and I'm sitting here with Betsy from
The Clearing. Betsy, we do a lot of work with Ideal
Scenes. I wondered if you could explain what Ideal
Scenes really are.
Betsy: Sure Scott, I have to say that they're one of my
very favorite things that we do here at The Clearing.
Ideal Scenes are exciting because they look at your life in a
comprehensive way and it's - for lack of a better way of saying it -
this incredibly fantastic housekeeping, house-cleaning, house-organizing manner of putting your life
back together.
So, we have some fascinating processes where we look at
our lives in the totality of them. And let's face it, by the
time we're in our 20s, 30s, 40s and I hear 50s, there's
housekeeping to do. It's like an attic that's never been cleared out, so
what we do is we look at all of those categories in our lives
into which we have permitted energy.
So, it can be relationships, employment, your family, a
hobby, your health, anything; a piece of furniture you've intended to refinish, a book you may
have meant to read. We do a review of all of these items
that have collected over this long period of time and we just do some
housekeeping.
One of the most exciting parts of it is what we call
complete and incomplete cycles of action. So, there's
things that we've accumulated along the way in our
life, maybe years in the past where we've got the intention set and we've
used our spoken word to make a commitment to read a book, or
refinish that piece of furniture and here we find
years later that that no longer resonates for us or it
doesn't hold any energy for us anymore. And so what we can do is we can
declare that done and recover that valuable energy to power
and propel forward.
