Release!


(archived from Sunday August 23, 2009)

What are you holding on to?

WHO are you holding on to?

Why? 

Are you holding on out of a sense of obligation? guilt? fear?

I, right now, choose to continue to release that which no longer serves me. As you know, I set an intention to do this quite a while ago and I must say that I have found much success in the accomplishment. But as I move forward, I realize that this is not a "garage sale" type of event, but rather a quarterly trip to my local Goodwill Donation Center.

Yes, this releasing is a process. A cycle. Hmmm.... who knew? I have accumulated 34 years of stuff. And at some point or another, all of it served me. If it did not, I never would have acquired it. And as my stuff contributed to my perceived joy or pain or anything in between, I have benefited from it all. But as I evolve, so do my needs. And I no longer have space for that two drawer vertical file cabinet. Or any use for that (once awesomely new) computer with only 60Gb of hard disk space. Or any desire to consort with those stubborn acquaintances who create four-hour emergencies when they know I have appointments scheduled...

And so... 
I release all of these and more.
And it feels soooo good.

I choose to continue to create and allow space for wonderful new gifts and relationships and yes,
new, better *stuff* that serves me as I am in this moment.

In fullness, in bliss, and swimming in gratitude. 
As always, with lots of love to you all,

Why is “Youth Akro Skills" a great way to learn Life Skills?

Why is “Youth Akro Skills" a great way to learn Life Skills ? The United States of America’s National Education Association (NEA) knows that the best way to get students to learn and retain information is to have them being physically active and engaged while learning . “ Teaching that emphasizes active engagement helps students process and retain information. It leads to self-questioning, deeper thinking, and problem solving. Engagement strategies like repetition, trial and error, and posing questions move the brain into active and constructive learning. And such activities can lead to higher student achievement.” - National Education Association Active learning is particularly effective with material that is more abstract and subjective. Active learning also helps bridge language barriers for learners and teachers who speak different native languages from one another. When teaching Life Skills in a 7th grade classroom in Fiji, I get a lot of blank stares from my stu...

Speaking Your Truth, Healing, and the High Value of YOU

Image
Your value that was lost each time that you were violated and each time you were physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually wounded, was only invested . Each time your truth was silenced , every time that someone in your life failed to hear about how you were feeling , you earned interest on your value that had been invested. And each time trying to tell your truth made you unsafe or got you rejected , your interest rate went up . Whenever your emotions and your truth have gone untold, unheard, dishonored, your interest has been compounded . A l l of the value that you once felt you lost is available to you now , with all of the interest it has accumulated over the years. You can access your invested value by hearing your own truth , by being fully present to yourself and by using your adult foundational tools to heal yourself . You heal by knowing and acknowledging that you are now safe . You find your grounding , your foundation. You begin to r...

Manifestation Mastery #1 - Clearing Negative Emotions Toward Myself

Image
In the last Manifestation Mastery Workshop , I shared the Transmute Method for clearing difficult emotions that block manifestations. Some examples are: fear, anger, blame, judgment, worry, guilt, jealousy and victim mentality. This morning as I did my meditation practice and connected deeply into my Spirit and physical body  I  became aware that I was carrying some guilt and judgement toward myself that have been preventing a fuller manifestation of my well-being. I was emotionally triggered because I ate some food yesterday that caused a congestion reaction in my body. I was carrying guilt for allowing myself to be in circumstances where I was not supporting my own health in the past. Some of you may be aware that at various times in my 40 years of life, I experienced health issues including chronic, frequent migraines, cancer and tumor scares, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, chronic fatigue and more. At those times, I used my Divine Creative Power to create guilt ...
