What
is Walking-In-Your-Shoes™?
Walking-In-Your-Shoes™
(WIYS) is a
body-based, transformational process of directly knowing oneself and
others in a state of deep interconnectedness.
WIYS mirrors
gifts and talents to be developed as well as defenses to be
tempered. It is a method that
uses
our natural gifts for transcendence and empathy to deeply know
oneself and to relate to another being without relying upon
cognitive functions.

At
the heart of the process is the opportunity for us to break out of our
limiting "Self-Concepts" and move into our deeper natures of
love, compassion and “mirror-like wisdom.” It's about getting past our
rigid concepts about reality and more importantly, about ourselves. It's
about letting go, at least temporarily, of the belief we all carry that we
are somehow inherently separate. Quantum physics and all the highest
teachings in every religion say the same thing: "Separateness"
is an illusion. We are actually one
and
we are everything
that is.
Walking-In-Your-Shoes™
challenges
personal beliefs because the process goes beyond the ego that has to
believe in things. It's not about being “psychic” and if it is, then
it's the psychic ability in all of us. People
who have been Walked
frequently report that they have never before felt so understood and
accepted. |
How
is it done?
Walking-In-Your-Shoes™
takes
place in a group setting of like-minded, caring people.
The work begins when a member of the group asks to be walked.
Another
member volunteers to walk
as that person. The walker
literally walks in the circle. The
facilitator guides the walker
to listen to the impulses of the bodymind and thus the walker
becomes the person, reporting all their thoughts, feelings, sensations,
and intuition. By Walking-In-Your-Shoes™
the
group experiences a wholeness often lost in our over-stimulated modern
world. In a typical group,
each participant has the opportunity to walk
and be walked.
