Sometimes it is easier to escape into someone else's life than it is to deal with the reality of our own life. When we are hurting. When we are scared. When we are lost.
There is so much waiting for you. There is beauty and joy and rest. A deep rest so profound that every cell in your body will take a deep breath and slowly exhale in peace.
In what may be the BEST marketing campaign ever, the all-female group, The Mrs have created a magic mirror that shows you WHY you are enough.
By the time the video finished, I was sobbing and smiling and reminded once again that we ALL struggle with not feeling like we are enough.
For some of us, it is a moment to moment battle, while for others it only rears it's ugly head when the going gets really tough.
Regardless of when it shows up, I've seen it enough in my coaching practice - tormenting the amazing women that I work with - to know that it is what we call a root. A core human wound.
We're going to have some fun as we de-bunk some of the most popular myths about meditation and then figure out how to build it into our lives in a way that works.
Meditation can help you improve your health, reduce your stress, and even help you make more money...but it can't do ANY of that if you don't do it.
...we have to be VERY careful about the way we use our words in hypnotherapy and NLP and Coaching - and parenting, relationships, business, and everywhere else - to make sure we avoid creating strong pictures of what we don't want our clients and children and spouses to be thinking about.
I believe that there is something truly shifting with the energy this year. We are being called into our power in a deep, deep way. The Divine simply will not tolerate us playing small and hiding any more. Every place that we have been lying to ourselves about our magnificence is being exposed and called out. It can be mighty uncomfortable.
I hope you've had a wonderful holiday season and that no matter how you celebrate you found peace and joy amidst the flurry of busy-ness that occupies so many of us at this time of year.
I'll be quick. I just wanted to let you know that on January 1st at 3 pm I'm hosting a tele-training.
Now don't get me wrong: I love my sleep. (And, yes, I do work with clients who have chronic sleep loss issues to get them a good night's sleep.)
But at this time of year my body is so excited to get out of bed and get going that I can't say no.
Many of us spend our lives popping in and out of our bodies. Whenever there is an uncomfortable feeling we 'POP!' out and watch our body being uncomfortable. This has the benefit of consciously removing us from the discomfort - even if we aren't aware of doing it consciously.
It also has the very big disadvantage of abandoning our unconscious mind and body. This means we lose our access to what is actually happening inside of ourselves and in the world around us.
But, right now, I'm heading into Day 6 of the NLP Coach Training and the joy and gratitude and courage and strength and passion of the women I am working with has left me speechless.
The 8-day training is designed to be an intensive. You get 4 Board Designations (coaching, NLP, hypnotherapy and Time Line Therapy®) and that is a gruelling schedule. It's equivalent to 2 years of college... in just over a week.
