"I was able to take on daily tasks with more energy and focused attention."
Report on my experience with PEMS
Phoenix and Andromeda, the creators of the PEMS program, asked me to try PEMS. I started mine on 3/28/14. Having been pretty upset by a lot of things going wrong in my life and in my mental state. I followed the program diligently and only missed a couple of evening narratives (which I did later) and one day (which I reviewed the next day.) It is not always possible to get the PEMS done daily when one has regular work, school, or family concerns, etc. However, I found that even writing a little and then following up was helpful. Phoenix and I talked about doing the whole thing as if each part: Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual were "characters" in a sort of improv-type staging. This seemed to work well for me at first. I felt it really gave "voices" to each aspect and that these voices could talk back and forth to each other. This helped balance the whole experience so that no one character could take over and that each one got to express itself fully. One might call the first character "Mr. Physical." Asking how it felt, what was its concerns, complaints, needs, etc. I found this worked very well. Eventually, I did not have to call upon a character but just allowed the Physical, Emotional, etc., to speak clearly as I wrote things down. 
PEMS in my LifeMy experience and time with PEMS have been very important and continue to be so.
After nearly two years now, including times of falling off the PEMS wagon, I can say that PEMS has saved my life. I have been able to "Re Negotiate my Reality." By this, I mean that the argument between my P, E, and M is quieted and more guided by my Spirit than not. From that place, I, as Spirit, can decide what I want and do not want. Through the ups and downs, I am more stable, grounded, and able to navigate what is needed for clarity and balance in my world. Using the process of separating my Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual aspects is the key to the life and future that I want. As more join The PEMS Program, more will be discovered and shared that will help us all grow. Phoenix |
I found that the process brought up a lot of things that were bothering me. Things I had not thought were bothering me, actually were! Things I had no idea about would suddenly be expressed. A lot of things come up that, once dealt with on paper, begin to not be so divisive. Taking care of each aspect of oneself begins to produce a balance and harmony. The rattled, edgy feelings I had begun to calm. However it was difficult sometimes to deal with the issues, especially emotional ones or things dealing with my past relationships that were bubbling to the surface. Still taking care of each one as it came up and writing about it helped a lot.
Midway through the process my very long writings became increasingly shorter and more to the point. I was able to focus more. By the end of the initial 28 day period I began to feel increasingly more whole and balanced and was often able to push away bad thinking and feeling to get on with my day and make things work out in my life again. PEMS has in no way "cured me" but it certainly re-balanced my energies and thoughts so that even my writing became more and more even and clear. And my life became a lot more manageable. I was able to take on daily tasks with more energy and focused attention. I whole heartedly recommend the PEMS program to any and all who want to find some sort of rebalance, harmony and flow.
