How to Measure the Impact of Healing and Inner Work

The Head Trash + Healing Show with Alexia Leachman

Today we have an incredibly fascinating topic to explore - the map of consciousness - and how it can be used to measure the progress of inner work.

In this episode, we'll explore how our consciousness can impact our emotions, perceptions, and problem-solving abilities. I'll also be taking a closer look at the concept of healing work, its effectiveness, and why I think it's important to measure the progress of inner work as we navigate our emotional healing journey.

Join me as we explore a powerful tool that can help us track our growth, overcome fears and anxieties, and ultimately live a more content and fulfilling life. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and get ready to delve into the intriguing world of mapping consciousness on the Head Trash Show.

Have you ever questioned the effectiveness of the healing work you've been investing your time, energy, and resources into?

Are you looking for a tool to help you measure your progress and gain insights into your emotional well-being?

If so, this episode is a must-listen. To avoid unnecessary pain, I explain why I encourage you to take a careful assessment of whether attending personal development events or engaging in healing activities has truly benefited you. Unfortunately, 'feeling better' is not enough to evaluate the effectiveness of healing work. Instead, I think we should be measuring the impact of your healing journey on your consciousness, emotional state, perception of the world, and problem-solving abilities.

This is where I think a tool like the Map of Consciousness can help us to measure the progress of inner work. This tool includes a scale ranging from 0 to 1000, which can be used to help you quantify and track your progress.

To illustrate the power of this tool, I share a personal story from a particularly challenging chapter of my life, emotionally speaking.

At the time, I was wrestling with anxiety, depression and overwhelming grief, and it was against this backdrop that a positive pregnancy test result sent me even deeper into despair. I didn't realise I suffered from tokophobia (extreme fear of pregnancy and birth), and that was why I was feeling the way I was. This experience forced me to step up to the healing table because I couldn't stay feeling that way.

Over the next eighteen months I did a lot of inner work, that eventually paid off. So I decided to revisit this period of my life through the lens of this tool to see what I could learn. I knew that my thinking had changed - quite dramatically - but how would this be portrayed using the map of consciousness?

• Could I see the impact of my healing activities?
• Was it possible for me to measure the progress of inner work that I had done?
• Could the tool offer me additional insights for my healing journey?

What I learned blew my mind!

In understanding my level of consciousness and how it has changed, it has helped me navigate challenging situations and make shifts in my own growth.

This episode is filled with practical insights and actionable steps to help you measure your progress on your healing journey.
