Understanding the Layered Growth Method
No matter who we are, we will make an impact in this life. But what kind of impact will you make? How deeply do you want to feel your life? How much expansion do you want to feel? Think about a stone being thrown into a body of water. Where it goes in, a couple rings will form around it, but quickly vanish. No matter how small the stone is, it will still create some type of ripple effect. What if you throw a boulder into the water? The rings will be huge, and continue moving outward for an even longer, more sustainable amount of time.
Next, consider Maslow’s Heirarchy of Needs where Abraham Maslow theorized that humans would need to fulfill specific needs themselves in a hierarchical order. This theory parallels many developmental theories in psychology in understanding that basic needs need to be met first before psychological needs.
Taking these two ideas and theories is where The Layered Growth Method comes from. The rock that’s thrown into the water is you. You’re the rock. This is Layer One. This is the basic needs section of Maslow’s hierarchy. Layer Two is a very close part of your foundation consisting of your relationships and boundaries; it’s the first ring in the ripple effect and the psychological layers of Maslow’s hierarchy. The stronger you are, the bigger the effect around you through your outer rings and your more advanced actions and abilities in your spiritual and personal growth practices. These are Layers Three and Four in the Layered Growth Method.
Can you move through the other layers even if your foundation is a little faulty? Absolutely. We are never confined or isolated in one layer through the Layered Growth Method. In fact, it’s suggested that you utilize tools among throughout all of the layers every day. But the more we focus on optimizing our foundation, the more we will be able to make an impact in the other areas and ultimately our lives and the world.
Layer 1
This is your foundation.
Your physical, mental and emotional health.
In this layer, we focus on your physical health by looking at your food, movement, water and the toxins in your environment. This is the layer that you’re going to become familiar with your 28 day feminine cycle and begin to track the four phases and understand them within your own body. This is where we find morning and evening routines, and all of the specific tools and ways to build one, that nourish our minds, bodies and spirits. This is where we redefine our self-worth by identifying our limiting beliefs and blocks.
Layer 2
These are your relationships & boundaries.
Not just relationships and boundaries to people, but also your time, environment and beliefs. This is the layer where we really open up to discover what it is you truly want in your life. What are your big dreams? This is the layer where it feels safe to say them out loud and get real with yourself. This is also the layer where we are changing our limiting beliefs and blocks into affirmations to rewire our mindset and prepare us for the growth that will happen in Layer Three. This is the layer where we introduce Aligned Energetic Scheduling to start becoming familiar with utilizing a planner and beginning to schedule our time, again, paving the way to implement it 100% in Layer Three.
Layer 3
This is your personal development.
This is the layer where big growth happens. A lot of action is happening in this layer. Are you finished with Layers One and Two? Nope! This is where we take all of the work you’ve so far, and turn it into actionable change in your life. You will learn about how to read energy in your body through your chakras, understand your intuition, understand masculine and feminine energy and utilize these pieces along with your feminine cycle, new habits and thought patterns to culminate in fully implementing Aligned Energetic Scheduling. This is also where you will begin breaking down your big dreams into goals with actionable steps that will be scheduled into your day to day and begin to feel easy in attaining.
Layer 4
This is expansion.
This is really diving into where you are energetically. Here, you expand in your power through crystals, oracle cards, prayer, EFT Tapping, understanding and utilizing the Law of Attraction and more. This is the layer where pieces can be added on at any time throughout your growth journey. These are all about fun, expansion and tapping into the things that resonate with you and make you feel alive.
