What we’re about
#### A Free Online community for YOU!
Connecting You with Your Self, (CYWY) a free online community formed in 2006 offering a time and place to learn and grow within a community. Learn more about who we are and what we offer at www.connectingyouwithyourself.com.
"When we have a solid relationship with ourselves, we can confidently go after the life we desire. The opinions, and judgments of other people become irrelevant. Life opens up in ways we haven't even imagined possible. New people and opportunities present themselves. Magic unfolds."
CYWY events are free and accessible via Zoom. Opportunities include yoga, Intentional Living Circles, Empowered Living Chats, a book study, a Relationship Support Group, and a "Good" Grief Support Group.
CYWY also has many recorded events that you can view on Connecting You with Your Self - YouTube
CYWY has two Facebook groups
https://www.facebook.com/groups/connectingyouwithyourself
and
https://www.facebook.com/groups/EnneagramType2/
"The most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself. All other relationships will be reflected by it. You can't have a healthy relationship with anyone else until you have a successful relationship with yourself."
See you on Zoom!

If you’ve been feeling “a bit stretched” lately—like you’re swinging between extremes, questioning your sanity, or feeling like you’ve fallen into the “deep end”—that’s not collapse. It’s stabilization.
Here’s what I mean: to regain balance after our most recent expansion, the mind must stretch further than what it once labeled “not real.” That stretch may feel uncomfortable, even destabilizing, but it’s actually you integrating at a deeper level.
This time, though, stabilization isn’t just mental or emotional. It’s in the body. And that’s a huge difference.
Practicing the Power of Love in the Body
Your capacity has expanded. Now is the time to explore how to use it—especially when you want to contract, retreat, or sink into self-pity. These are the exact moments when embodied love asks to be practiced.
Here are some ways you might notice your new capacity showing up:
Fast RechargeMoments when you thought you had nothing left to give, you find you can reset quickly—with a gentle reframe, a shift of focus, or a centering to self-love.
Relaxation as PowerInstead of tightening around worries, you relax into them. The worry loses its grip, and events begin to move—sometimes in “wrong” directions that turn out to be exactly right. You start trusting your flow more deeply.
Conservation of EnergyYou begin discerning when and to whom to speak. You notice how not every situation needs your voice or effort. Efficiency and clarity in energy use arrive naturally.
Magnetic GuidanceYour interests begin pulling you, organically, toward what truly matters next. The “puzzle pieces” click into place without strain, while other tasks get handled almost automatically.
The invitation:
This week, notice how your capacity has increased. Practice using it. Lean into love—not as an effort, but as a natural intelligence guiding you toward more freedom and less fear.Your integration is here. It’s easier, more intuitive, and it's here to change your life—effortlessly.
See below this week’s events and offerings to support you this practice.
I see you.
I celebrate us.

Topic: Living Your Core Values
Facilitator: Sophia Carmien www.essentialwholeness.lifeDescription: Do you have a clear understanding of what truly matters to you? In your day-to-day life, are you truly living by your values or are you on autopilot, responding to what life is throwing at you or acting out habitual patterns? In this interactive workshop, you’ll reflect on what you care about most and identify your core values. Then, we’ll explore practical ways to bring those values to life. This is an opportunity to connect with what gives your life meaning and to begin aligning your actions more intentionally with who you really are.

Topic: How personality supports and challenges us
Facilitator: Sophia Carmien - www.essentialwholeness.lifeDescription: Each of us develops patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that support us in navigating life, but these same patterns sometimes hold us back. In this interactive session, we’ll explore patterns of your personality: how they can help you move through the world in meaningful ways, and how they can sometimes cause problems. Through exploration, you’ll get insight into your personality structure and, through greater awareness, gain more choice in your daily life.
