This newsletter is coming a bit late this time. My family has recently endured a rather huge loss with the death of my mother, Bevra Pomeroy, on May 11.

Needless to say, my feet do not quite feel as though they are completely beneath me yet. Thank you to all who have supported me and my family through this.

In this month’s article, we’ll look at Reframing, the Art of Shifting Perspectives. To get your mind started in that direction, here’s a quote from George Bernard Shaw:

“Progress is impossible without change;
and those who cannot change their minds
cannot change anything.”

All Good Wishes to You,

Reframing, the Art of Shifting Perspectives
“You will never know hunger.”

The fortune cookie did not impress me. I was full, stuffed in fact, from having just finished some scrumptious sushi. I was going to toss the fortune until my dinner partner said, “It doesn’t just mean hunger like food hunger, you know. It could mean you will never hunger for love, or companionship.”

“Oh,” I replied. As my brain expanded to accept this new idea, I tucked the innocuous looking piece of paper into my wallet.

Later that evening, I told another friend the fortune cookie story. She said, “In Chinese culture, this speaks to having community support. When you enter a Chinese household, they will offer you food right away, to make you feel at home. It’s about not being alone or unsupported.”

My reference for “You will never know hunger” has been nicely reframed.
Reframing is not exclusive to NLP, but it used a lot within this context. Reframing alone can create amazing shifts in perspective, and can sometimes create enough room in someone’s system for a larger piece of work to sink in. It’s all about opening up the frame of what someone already perceives.

As Olvier Wendall Holmes observed:

A mind stretched to a new idea, never goes back to its original dimensions.

Happy expanding, everyone!

Five Element Face Reading Corner
Five Elements Abbreviated: Fire
Color: Red
Time of Year: Summer
Time of Day: 11am to 3pm and 7pm to 11pm
Attributes: Joy, excitement, wanting to connect, communication.
Organ: The heart, triple heart protector
Features: The pointy tips of features, eyes, dimples, red hair, freckles, cleft chin

Overview: The energy of the Fire element is fast and exciting with a huge capacity and desire for connection. A person with a lot of the Fire element is often the life of the party, desires a lot of attention and is often a great communicator because connection is so important to them. They can also be hurt quite easily because their hearts are so wanting to connect. They can be anxious and fickle. People with a lot of Fire element are often easy to pick out in a crowd - they’ll dress or act as if to say “Look at me! Come play with me!”

If you, or someone you know, is interested in receiving a face reading, I am still looking for people to work with for the Face Reading Practitioner Training. The sessions last about an hour and are $25. Call 206-417-4541 or email info@karapomeroynlp.com to set up an appointment.
