Every month we feature a different presenter to share their journey and talents. It is experiential, nurturing and oh so much fun! Every month has first time attendees and those who rarely miss. New friendships are made and new ideas germinated that bring women to something they never thought of before. There is an uplifting that is so valuable in our busy lives. When we participate in the circle, we find our power increase exponentially like a drop of water rippling on the surface of a pond. There is power in numbers and when the commitment is made by many to come together in a circle to focus attention and joy, the circle emanates ripples of energy that can change the world.
This is a follow up to my last post where I shared that I had just returned from a beautiful trip to Hawaii and now I would like to expand upon “The Spirit of Aloha”. As we move into the holiday time of year, we are inundated with the marketing of the season luring us to buy a multitude of material things yet the deeper meaning includes gratitude, reflection, giving and acknowledgement of our blessings. I found this passage describing the deeper meaning of Aloha and it once again struck me how we are all unified at the core of our roots.
Stamatis lives in what’s called a Blue Zone—an area where there is a larger than usual number of centenarians (people who are 100 or more). So Lissa studied these blue zones to see if we can learn something from the people who are living happily to 100 years old and beyond. Here is what she found:
Not everyone who takes the reiki trainings actually want to do this for a living. Most want to develop their own intuitive healing abilities for themselves and their loved ones. I have definitely had numerous people who already practice another healing modality such as reflexology or massage therapy wish to bring an enhanced level of healing to what they already do. So, it should be no surprise to find that people not in an obvious healing field, also want to add this level of healing and love to what they do.
Have you been noticing the shifts lately? You know the ones that are bringing up old stuff that are calling to be released! Planetary influences are all about “releasing what no longer serves us” so I have been noticing with many clients and in my own life opportunities to release and to transform our thoughts and perceptions.
Cultural Creatives are roughly about 35% of adults in all developed countries of the world. In addition to their concern about family and relationships, they are concerned about the environment, social responsibility, personal development and growth, both psychologically and spiritually, over their whole lives. The annual growth rate is about 3% from the 1960’s onward. We had 20% of the American population in 1986, probably 30 million adults and now 35% or 80 million.
Old people should be wiser and have an overall view of things. It is a shame that many can only see well at a distance when presbyopia prevents them from seeing properly close up. What the body shows the person suffering from presbyopia is that he still has a long way ahead. That he can see very well into the distance. In order to force the person to do this, the body has reduced his capacity to look at things up close; its capacity to see the details.
My husband and I recently returned from a wonderful trip to Nova Scotia where we visited with friends in Musquodoboit Harbour on the Eastern Shore about 45 minutes from Halifax. While there we toured an incredible garden property called Harbour Breezes where owners Allan and Shane have created a visionary wonderland. I wanted to share this story with you because I was so moved by what I experienced walking these gardens and listening to the story of it’s “becoming”. It truly is a “Vision in Action”.
This is one of the reasons that I fell in love with the Enneagram system as it assists us in understanding our inner selves and others from a level of non-judgement. It provides some of the clues as to why we each have developed our own unique set of patterns of thinking, feeling and acting based on nature and nurture. It helps us develop our emotional intelligence skills! By sharing this passage with you, I acknowledge the challenge I have in holding a pure space of non-judgment for sure. It is definitely the section of work from Abraham and Esther Hicks that I review most often – the Law of Allowing! See this short YouTube clip for that.
I love looking at the infinite possibilities that we have within us to build resilience. When we are uncomfortable enough with what is not working, we are more willing to do something different! How many times have you heard that you can not solve a problem with the same consciousness that created it? So – let’s practice making new neuropathways that bring more transformation, flow and ultimately happiness in our lives.
