Create Your Year!!
It's that time of year again. Resolution time. I have never been a fan of the word resolution. Maybe because it can have negative connontations if the resolution is broken. I do appreciate how resolute means firm and unwavering, thereby the act of making a resolution is that you are indeed making a firm choice and standing by it. But on the flip side, resolutions seem firm and unyielding and leave little room for tweaking or evolution.They are promises you are making to yourself and who wants to break a promise? No one. That does not feel good at all when the resolution simply becomes a reminder of failure and a source of guilt. So why do it at all?During this time of year so many people are focussing on starting something new. This makes for a very powerful group consciousness energy. It is the perfect time to make change and resolutions because you have a better chance of keeping them. So rather than fight this positive wave of change, try riding it, but with a twist. Instead of being Resolute this New Year, Try Creating. The energy behind creating is much more fun, forgiving, and fluid, and yet it is every bit as powerful as Resolution making.It's Time To Create Your Year!Decide How it will be and Make it So!Declare it!Keep is Short and Simple andTake Action to Make it Happen.C-R-E-A-T-EI've broken it down into 6 easy steps that you can remember as they spell the word that is the most important part-Create!C-Get ClearUnless you have a clear vision or clear goals you will only create chaos and confusion for yourselfR-Keep it RealStart with realistic goals. I am all for setting your sights high, but do not set yourself up to fail. Take baby steps until you feel momentum beginning, then ramp it up.E-Enthusiasm is a MustIf you are not excited about your life and dreams and goals no one else is going to be either. If you are not excited, then you are not in alignment with your soul and hearts desire and it's time to rethink your goalsA-ActionMany people get stuck here. Yes you need a plan. But you are also required to get up and put it into action. No one is going to serve you life on a platter. Go out and get it!T-TimingTiming is everything. If the timing is off, well the whole thing can unravel. But if you are going to let that stop you then you did not really want it in the first place. Persistance pays off. Always.E-Enjoy The ProcessHave FUN! If you are not having fun, something is missing and you need to go back to the drawing board.If you need help honing your focus, we have an upcoming Vision Board Workshop that will get your creativity flowing while at the same time help you bring dreams into reality and thoughts into action. It is going to be a Beautiful Year! I am very excited about 2011 and I hope you are too! It Is Your Year to Shine!The rest of our 2011 Newsletter is HERE
Juggling Again!
Does this feel like any of you? This feels like me. Juggling. A lot of things right now. All of them good but I am just hoping I do not drop too many balls in the process.
I have had people comment to me in the past that they do not know how I do it all. And to be honest most of the time I have no idea how either, and sometimes I think I do not do it all(balls get dropped) but it all works out, it just does. So I trust in that.
We all get overwhelmed with life and responsibilities sometimes, and I am no exception. The key is to recognize those times and take care of yourself during them. And I have to confess, I'm not the greatest for taking my own advice in that department. I tend to be stubborn and put my head down and try to plow through it. However, I am very very lucky to work with such a talented and caring team and this reminds me (every day!) to take time out for me. I am having a massage tomorrow with Kim and hopefully IET with Sherry on Thursday. Reiki Share Thursday night-I can't wait!! And a GREAT class on the weekend. I do a lot. But I always have and always will. It is the curse of the creative mind. : ) But I'm always going to keep at it because I LOVE what I do and I love all of you and that makes all the difference in the world. Thank you!

What is Channeling?
Many times in our lives we reach a crossroads where we seek information but the answers are unclear. Often when we are emotionally attached to an outcome the information can either be skewed or we simply cannot find clarity. Channeling is a means to tap into universal information in an effort to bring understanding, clarity and compassion to life’s questions.
What Happens During A Channeling Session?
During a channeling session, the practitioner tunes into a specific frequency in order to receive information, and guidance from a higher source of wisdom. This higher source of wisdom is of a higher vibrational frequency and is located in the spirit realm. During this session a conscious connection to this spiritual source is created and messages, images and information are directly translated and reported to the client. This differs from a psychic or intuitive reading in that the information is not being read off the energy field of the individual. The spiritual guide is connecting to the question(s) and the channeler simply becomes the translator in this process.
The Journey of the Run
I realized today that I must be a runner. I have come and gone with running over the years..stopped and started here and there. But at this point in my life, I cannot imagine my life without it. It is so much a part of me..it IS me.In the past I usually ran with a goal..to go farther..to go faster...I even trained to run a marathon. I would end up pushing myself often to the point of injury..which would then result in my not being able to run at all (which was the very thing that I loved to do). It was completely ludicrous. Fast forward many years and add to that a lot of growing up,learning and healing. Today my relationship with running is one of freedom, transformation, balance, meditation, contemplation, journeying and bliss.As soon as my breath enters a rhythm, my feet begin to pound out the perfect heartbeat of the earth. I fall into a trance, deeper into this music and find myself travelling, journeying, through time and space as I run. I go to the past, present, future. I become unlimited. I travel to alternate worlds, different dimensions, alternate realities. I download information from these places and receive insights. I become one with everything. Problems are solved, illnesses are healed, creativity is boundless. What is unfortunate about this is when the run completes itself and I come back into my body I am left with impressions of where I went and what I saw and experienced and yet the information is not complete. It is as though it is so large that once I compress myself back into my body (this tiny container) there is not room for the expanse of what was experienced. Words fail to describe it. I thought of digitally recording my adventures as I run, but they happen so fast,I could not speak fast enough. And I think it would alter the rhythm and the organic nature of the run.And words really do fall short to describe it all. Perhaps I will have to get my paints out of the cupboard and dust them off and record the experience with colour and texture...Until we all have a device to record thoughts, sensations etc. directly from the brain, I struggle to fully convey the experience.But maybe I am not supposed to.At any rate, is it any wonder I love my time to run?..It is a magical journey into elsewhere and never fails to fill me up with joy and wonder.The body becomes merely the vehicle to help me get off the ground. So in a way I am flying. It is a beautiful experience...and I am grateful for my body to enable me to have it.
Hiking The Bruce Trail
I have decided I like to hike. Which is ridiculous because I knew I liked to hike, but after this most recent hike, I realized I really really enjoy it. I love the 'space' that hiking induces. It is a whole day of rhythm, of movement, of mediative space. My body moving and adapting to the contours of the hill, rock and countryside, the rhythm of my breathing and the way my mind unwinds the busy-ness of the thoughts to get to that point of space, the void, the blissful nothingness. I just love it. There is no other way to describe it. And I hadn't realized how much I enjoyed it until I was away from it for a while and then back into it.We just returned from a family trip in which we hiked from below Cypress up to Cypress on day 1-around 10km with 3 kids(2 -10 year olds, a 12 year old)-all carrying their own gear on their backs, and a 6 mo. old puppy and it went really well.Day 2 was a 24km day to Tobermory and I was unsure we would all make it. But it ended up being great. No complaints, not even in the rain, no meltdowns, everyone had a great time!At the end, in Tobermory, I found myself silently deciding to hike the Bruce trail end to end. Not in parts, not over years, or months but rather as a continuous hike. 894km in 45days.I thought I need to do this, I need this long continuous space, I need the challenge, I need to be in nature so thoroughly that I become it. I just need to do this. I am thinking next Spring, or Summer.I voiced my dream aloud and Logan(one of my 10 year olds) wants to come with me. Sounds great. I cannot imagine being 10 years old and be willing to undertake such a huge challenge and commitment. Wow. That would be great. It would be a wonderful experience to have as a family. I'm sure there would be really challenging days but overall imagine the benefits from such a wonderful experience. We are so lucky to live close to a trail like this, and to really understand the beauty of the place in which we live, there is no better way to commune with nature than to get right into it.So we'll see how it all comes together...but I feel confident it is going to happen in the next year or two.
Running in The Rain
I just came back in from a run. I have been meaning to go for one all weekend but it just never happened. One of the reasons was we were up at a cottage and it just did not stop raining..not light rain..downpour..and it was cold(fall temperature cold-and I had optimistically packed hot summer day clothes). So I came up with excuses not to go. I was cold, it was wet, I was tired, etc.So today I planned to run first thing after work. No more excuses! The kids were playing with friends..the dog was napping..I was laced up and ready to go. I stepped outside to a huge crack of thunder..and then it came...not a light rain..a downpour. I stood there for a moment in complete disbelief. What was going on here with this rain following me and interrupting my running schedule?I found myself at that crossroads of choice. It would have been really easy to go inside, do some of the backlogged errands from the list(a mile long) and wait out the rain. It was coming down so hard, surely it would only last 15 minutes or so.BUT. This had been going on for 4 days with me. Girl interrupted, by rain. If I did not go, I knew the rain would follow me all week.So I decided to jump in and go..there had to be a lesson in this for me somewhere..other than not being a big baby..there had to be something..this rain keeping me from running had been persisting too long. I had run in rain before, I know I do not melt.... but I had been off my running schedule for a while and have not had a normal sleeping pattern lately so have been more tired than usual. All of these things made it so easy for me to delay to the following day what I knew needed to be done that day.So there I went, took off running. Not in a sprinkle, mind you..this was a power shower. Two minutes into the run and the water was pouring down the brim of my hat and landing on my face.But you know what?I LOVED every minute of it.I loved splashing through the huge puddles. I loved that the rain seemed to increase in volume and pressure as I ran. I loved how people slowed down to look at the crazy lady who was running in a rainstorm with a huge grin on her face. I was in Total Joy. I completely lost myself in the run and in the rain. I cannot even begin to tell you the journey I went on...but in it, I became Everything.I was the rain. I became it.I knew what it was like to have the journey as an individual raindrop only to inevitably link up with others as I hit the ground and reconnected with the source to run freely along the gutter. I knew what it felt like to hit a leaf and slide off only to drip off and land on the ground. I could feel what it felt like to land on soft grass and soil and to be absorbed into the ground.It was fantastic!I contemplated if a raindrop had consciousness....I felt it had feeling of experience because that is what I was experiencing..but did it have consciousness..maybe a consciousness specific to it..one that we could not even begin to contemplate in our limited experience of being human. My mind went wild but in a calm and peaceful way and I have to tell you from this moment forward I going to jump at the chance to run in the rain.I could feel it washing away all of the debris I had collected since returning home from my trip..all of the deadlines..all of the other people's stuff that had somehow become my stuff....I thanked God for the rain. And realized that it was indeed a miracle. I felt like a brand new person on the earth experiencing rain for the very first time..what it must be like for a baby, or young child or puppy...to realize that water was falling from the sky. How beautiful was that?! What an incredible thing!! That this 'life giving' water was coming from the sky, to water the plants and to wash away the old..to clean the earth..to clean ourselves...to make room for the new.I was grateful for, and in awe of this rain. And I wanted to share this before it became lost within my mind with all of the other wonderful epiphanies I seem to experience while running and then they fade as the day rolls out..like a fuzzy dream. I did not want to forget this rain, or my experience in it, because it reminded me of who I am. That I am part of everything and everything is part of me and to think of myself any differently is only to place myself in a very small container with limited room to breathe. We are so much greater than our 'individual' packages we are contained in and we need to be reminded of this all the time and I am grateful for my experience of running in the rain and how it brought me back to myself.
