What is tapping you on the shoulder? Got a concern bothering you? An ache that doesn’t go away? Some thought niggling away at you? All of these are messages through the body/mind asking us to pay attention. How often do you ignore them? I am sure you have experienced the same thing as me: When we ignore, don't pay attention these feelings, thoughts, or "aches" they do not go away. Well they might for a bit, but they rear their little heads in another message or through a greater signal at a future date. As I have experienced, when I've overridden these messages, they end up smacking me … [Read more...]
Have a Heart
Have a heart: It's February and of course the month we often focus more closely on the heart. In my own journey, it is an eye-opening realization that the people who are truly happy are the ones who are authentic and work from a place of unconditional love. It begins with self first, then they radiate outward to others. It matters not how much they've got, their pedigree, their school, business or how many degrees they have. While achievements and heart-warming accolades are wonderful in themselves, they can be empty unless realized through an open heart and sense of “oneness” or connection … [Read more...]
SOS is the State of Stuck: Limiting Beliefs
Part 2 of 4 Ever been stuck? Like really stuck. Just not able to move forward? I have and I've found it's more often than not related to a number of things.. the last blog looked at Clarity. This one deals with Limiting Beliefs... Limiting beliefs are a tough one because most often they are hidden to us, meaning they are unconscious. If they are unconscious, how can we know what the block is? Techniques are available to recognize our feelings and/or locate tension within the body to help breakthrough this. What works for me is to stop and observe the mental program I am running. I simply … [Read more...]
Rejoice and Renew
Welcome to 2013! What do you want for this coming year? More confidence, vitality, or more connection with people? Perhaps inner peace or greater self-awareness? Maybe lining up your actions to match who you really are? What "new and good" things do you want to renew from 2012 and take with you into 2013? What small to grand things will you rejoice over from 2012? How do you rejoice...what does that look like for you? In 2013, one of my top goals is to designate the space (meaning the time and place) to experience "self", the inward journey of being more present and centred. Truly … [Read more...]
Slow Down To See More
I love being busy. Like really busy. So busy that every moment of each day is brimming with fullness. But is this really a good thing? I had a number of wake-up calls over the past number of years, but wasn’t listening. Accidents, friends shaking their heads at my schedule, being impatient with myself and others. I created unrealistic expectations of what I could accomplish, sleeping less to accomplish it, and it was never enough. I felt under [self-imposed] pressure to be and do more. I was running everywhere, not prioritizing down time... Sound familiar? I was reminded of this again of … [Read more...]
Harmony or Balance?
We hear of achieving ‘Balance” and “Life-work balance” but is balance really what we want to achieve? Isn’t balance a fixed word implying no motion? It represents equilibrium, a flat line. Look at scales. What happens when they are balanced? Nature and life exhibit motion, direction and cycles of life so why would we try to achieve something that just has no motion present? There is a saying by BJ Palmer, “life is motion and motion is life”. So by the time we achieve balance in our bodies we have expired. Is balance healthy for an organization or business? Is a business growing or are you … [Read more...]
