Shadow work is a method of making invisible (shadow) parts of yourself visible again. Parts that you have usually unconsciously &#8220;locked away&#8221;. By finding the key and unlocking the shadow, seeing the shadow, you can acknowledge and heal that part of yourself. You can integrate that part of yourself back into the NOW and feel more complete.    <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Blocks-to-Bliss&#8221; helps you transform old, limiting beliefs, survival patterns and\/or stuck energy. As the title &#8220;Blocks to Bliss&#8221; suggests. This technique helps you break through blockages. It helps you restore your energy flow and then you can experience more life energy again. The stuck energy can flow again and be used in the NOW.   <\/p>\n<p>This quote by Hector Ariztiz\u00e1bal, (born Colombia 1960) director, actor, playwright and psychologist, beautifully describes what happens at &#8220;Blocks~to~Bliss.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We are all wounded, if you&#8217;re not wounded, you are not alive. Wounds are tombs of things that need to die but they are also wombs of things that need to be born. My work is opening the wound so we can find the medicine. Because often the place we are most wounded is the place of our gift.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#boek\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis is something for me<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Blocks to Bliss&#8221; is a conscious process to understand and change pain points (triggers). A powerful tool designed to help break stuck patterns. Using symbols and images ~ <strong>the language of our <em>INVISIBLE<\/em><\/strong> ~ we go through the process in a relaxed, meditative state. Think about the topic you would like to work on. If you can&#8217;t quite figure it out, I can help you during our appointment. The session is online and takes about 1 hour.     <\/p>\n<p>This process may bring up emotions and memories. Give yourself at least 3 days to process your experience and integrate the new. This sometimes takes this time. You have changed your foundation a bit&#8230;so everything built on it is now going to change as well. Know that you are not broken or broken&#8230;there is nothing wrong with you. This is a tool to help you create a new perspective&#8230;from an old (survival) pattern to a new, healthier way of responding to the same kinds of situations.     <\/p>\n<p>I have experienced it as a very gentle, easy way of transformation. there are no fireworks after a session&#8230;but a subtle shift in your behavior without any effort on your part. A deep change is usually not realized after 1 session&#8230;but after a few meetings you feel that you are more resilient in situations that did not allow it before. In the moment NOW, you are able to make different choices.   <\/p>\n<h2>A <i> powerful<\/i> process<\/h2>\n<p>In Akan, a Ghanaian language, there is the term &#8220;Sankofa,&#8221; which translates to&#8230;. &#8220;go back and get it&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sankofa&#8221; is also the name of a mythical bird with its legs planted firmly forward and its head turned back, holding a precious egg in its beak. The egg in its beak represents the &#8220;precious stones&#8221; or knowledge of the past on which wisdom is based. It also symbolizes the future generation that would benefit from that wisdom.  <\/p>\n<p>This symbol is also used in a proverb of the Akan tribe: &#8220;Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi,&#8221; which translates to&#8230;. &#8220;It is not wrong to go back to what you have forgotten.&#8221; The Akan believe that the past shines through in the present, undulating into it, and that the quest for knowledge and understanding is a lifelong process. <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I think the symbol &#8220;Sankofa&#8221; is a wonderful metaphor to explain &#8220;Blocks-to-Bliss.&#8221; The mythical bird symbolizes the ability to look back at your history and find something precious in the shadows. The &#8220;gems&#8221; left there by your own (early) trauma or by pain and suffering of previous generations.  <\/p>\n<p>You might find a &#8220;precious egg&#8221; or more by opting for a &#8220;Blocks-to-Bliss&#8221; session.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#boek\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBook a session<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Your investment<\/h2>\n<p><em>&#8220;The medicine for the wound comes from the wound itself.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>introduction<\/h2>\n<h2>30 minutes<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tGratis<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t &nbsp;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&nbsp;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#boek\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMake an appointment<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>1 session<\/h2>\n<h2>from 111 euros for<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\u20ac99,-<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tinclusive of VAT \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&nbsp;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/flowingessence.nl\/en\/product\/blockstobliss-1-session\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGetting Started<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>3 sessions<\/h2>\n<h2>$44 off<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\u20ac288,-<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tinclusive of VAT \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&nbsp;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/flowingessence.nl\/en\/product\/blockstobliss-3-sessions\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGetting Started<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>5 sessions<\/h2>\n<h2>4 + 1 session free<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\u20ac444,-<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tinclusive of VAT \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&nbsp;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/flowingessence.nl\/en\/product\/blockstobliss-5-sessions\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGetting Started<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you so much Dominique for the session. &#8216;Why should I do what I&#8217;m told?&#8217; I think you are a natural at this work. I loved that we had some pre-discussion before starting the visualization work. It was helpful to allow me to focus in on what was needed. The reminders to breath are a great touch, it helped bring me inward. Perhaps that is the doula coming out! You have a very gentle and reassuring voice. I can tell that you are practiced at staying calm yet focused and that was transmitted. I have been feeling very centered over the past few days and have noticed I brushed off some situations the might otherwise have aggravated or annoyed me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite>Clare HaycockAerospace project engineer, homemaker, caregiver <br \/> Blocks~to~Bliss 2023, USA<\/cite>\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In my preparation for the arrival of my 2nd child, I attended a Blocks~to~Bliss with Dominique. I didn&#8217;t have a specific theme and yet it became clear through the questions. She guides you in a meditation to your soul to work with this theme on an energetic level. The setting feels safe and Dominique also checks in during the process to see how it feels for you. She has a wonderful way of replacing old patterns for a new loving pattern. In the period after the Blocks~to~Bliss, I felt relieved, calm and warm. Without any inner struggle, I can now allow more helping hands. Thank you!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite>Isamae Jenningspediatric exercise therapy <br \/> Blocks~to~Bliss 2025, Netherlands<\/cite>\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dominique has served for many years as a mentor in my Queen&#8217;s court program. Her leadership and skills have been a valuable asset to the women in the program. She holds exquisite space and presence as a mentor as well as in her Blocks~to~Bliss sessions. She is a loving and capable guide who will lead you on a sacred journey to find and transmute the source codes that keep you locked in unhealthy and destructive patterns. If you are ready to heal and transform your life, I highly recommend Dominique as a powerful mentor and guide who will provide meaningful and sacred support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite>Rima BonarioAuthor and inspirer of the &#8220;7 queendoms&#8221;, teacher, energy~healer &#038; soul-coach.

I really liked your fine, calm and clear voice! At the beginning of the session I felt a very cold feeling all over my body. But as the process went on, I felt a peace, calmness and a warm flow throughout my body that persisted.<br \/>\nI struggled at times not to wander, not to think, but to keep feeling. After the session, the calmness is much more present in my body, also the warm flow. That feels very nice and safe.&#8221;     <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite>Ramona de LethPhotographer, mother of 4 boys <br \/> Blocks~to~Bliss 2024, Netherlands<\/cite><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M646 125C629 125 613 133 604 142L308 442C296 454 292 471 292 487 292 504 296 521 308 533L604 854C617 867 629 875 646 875 663 875 679 871 692 858 704 846 713 829 713 812 713 796 708 779 692 767L438 487 692 225C700 217 708 204 708 187 708 171 704 154 692 142 675 129 663 125 646 125Z\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M696 533C708 521 713 504 713 487 713 471 708 454 696 446L400 146C388 133 375 125 354 125 338 125 325 129 313 142 300 154 292 171 292 187 292 204 296 221 308 233L563 492 304 771C292 783 288 800 288 817 288 833 296 850 308 863 321 871 338 875 354 875 371 875 388 867 400 854L696 533Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>Book an introductory session  <\/h2>\n<h2>&#8220;Well, I must endure the presence of a few <i>caterpillars<\/i> if I wish to become acquainted with the <i>butterflies<\/i>.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<h2>~Antoine de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry, 1900-1944. pilot and author of &#8220;the little prince,&#8221; over 80 million sold ~ <\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blocks~to~Bliss ~ Stress is not bad for you&#8230;being stuck is bad for you ~ Emily Nagoski caterpillar ~ pupa ~ butterfly Transformation &#8220;Blocks-to-Bliss&#8221; is a shadow-work process, guided by your higher Self.
