Nudge That Creative Zone Inside You
Coaching is not about advice giving. It’s about ushering you into the dimension of your own wisdom and leadership.
It’s about helping you see yourself. It’s about holding the space open for your vision to fully land in the here and now.
The edge of expansion you seek is within you and it will carry you as far as you want to go as long as you are willing to listen to yourself and honor what you know to be deeply true.
Purpose Starts With A Feeling
Nature has this uncanny ability to model for us the way seasons of change work.
As spring approaches, I notice layers of hibernation, heaviness, even grief shedding, soft, gentle, new green sprouts emerging, and a renewed energy of creativity.
Softer Under Pressure
It took me years of showing up an anxious mess in healing training, after healing training, after another healing training, not knowing if I would ever be able to feel an ease of acceptance or belonging, to finally realize that I had a sufficient amount of patterns around relating with others that needed tending.
Until I was able to notice this, truly slow down and feel it, I knew that nothing much was going to shift in my dating life.
When Things Go Off the Rails
When we feel safe enough to express our true feelings and are met in those moments with compassionate understanding we strengthen the ability to move from our reactions to a deeper level of responsiveness and clarity.
Your Beautiful Power to Heal
We cannot rush the process of repair. Repair comes when we have received the lesson of the rupture.
Emotions, when we regard them with respect, have a great deal of wisdom to offer us. I find that anger is the entry point to reclaiming that wisdom by accepting the power we have within to heal.
The Courage to Be Yourself
Out of all the emotions anger is perhaps the most difficult for many of us. And, when skillfully guided, it can be the one that liberates us the most from what holds us back.
When loving presence is there holding the space, and there is trust on both sides of the relationship, your anger is the catalyst and your grief a portal - back to the SELF your soul had you searching for in the first place.
Aligning With What Is Essential
Change happens in relationship, on a global scale or an individual level, and breakdown moments inevitably signal a chance to breakthrough.
Winter Solstice Blessings
It is a time for deep remembrance of the soul level in life. The soul level in life guides us when we make time for listening and receiving that inner warmth of the heart.
Becoming a Healer.
Being a healer is not just about what you do - its about who you are becoming.
Staying Open
When you have support - real support - it creates safety in relationship. It is nourishing and guiding.
This is work is not about affirmations or trying to put on a happy face on when the appropriate response is anger or grief.
Practice Over Perfection
For me a spiritual practice is not about leaving the world or my body behind, it is about learning what needs to be let go of so that I can show up more fully as I am here and now each day with meaning and purpose in my heart. It takes practice. It is not a given.
Let Your Life Be Your Prayer
When I first heard these words I remember feeling bewildered by them. It was as though I heard something very important but did not yet know its meaning for me.
All I knew was something deeper inside myself resonated.
The Quiet Revolt of the Soul
Beauty has a power to transform and heal. To touch our lives in more diverse and radical ways. It has the power to help wake the senses to what is life affirming and benevolent. So choosing beauty in the face of everything else becomes the quiet revolt of the soul.
Holding Your Own
Self-preservation is a radical act.
When there is pressure it’s hard to slow down. When there is overwhelm, it can be hard to feel.
And yet there is a way to come back to yourself gracefully.
Knowingly.
In times of great change and uncertainty, this becomes the practice.
Seeing Beyond What Is Shown
Part of our work here, as creators, educators, facilitators, and guides, is helping to open perspective. And to do this we need to continually sharpen our own capacity for self-awareness and the ability to perceive without agenda. To feel what is deeper, palpable, and more true.To live from more curiosity and have the audacity to think differently. To reach for better.
Healing the Chasm of Self Worth
Love, our most basic and fundamental form of nourishment and exchange. And yet, when it was once so painful, we have this uncanny ability to build bold and swift defenses against it. Healing self worth through our realtionships.
The Gift of Obstacles
When I left the yoga world I was in a state of shock and disbelief.
Losing both a strong sense of purpose and community, I felt heartbroken.
Everything in my career I was actively working towards pretty much dissolved overnight due to circumstances out of my control.
Dare to Expand Your Comfort Zone
So, how do we expand our level of success beyond where we’ve been? How do we get past our own upper limit? How do we begin to hold more (success, clients, complexity) with greater ease when we are already so very busy?
Here are some of my thoughts on this…
Raw Tender Self
There is such power in our ability to slow ourselves down and become mindful of what’s really going on underneath the surface of “being busy” all the time.
From this present moment awareness a whole set of new choices become available.
You Are My Safe Space
When I got better at being more present with myself boundaries with others improved. Having healthy boundary in relationship meant I felt safe with me first, allowing permission to be myself and respect my inner knowing, no matter what another person’s needs, expectations, demands or judgments of me might be.
