Embrace Your Passion

I embrace my passion and I imagine and feel my passion embracing me. We dance, sing and create the life we love. My passion is in partnership with my heart. Together they are powerful. Beauty springs up before us as we share what we love with the world. All aspects of myself come into harmony.

Responsibility

I would imagine the word responsibility invokes different images for people. We’ve all had a variety of experiences around responsibility. Most often responsibility makes me think of things I need to do or things outside of myself that I need to take care of. To act responsible.

We can use responsibility as a defense. To be overly responsible. Take on responsibility that isn’t healthy. As in trying to be responsible for other people’s reactions. Modifying your behavior so that other people won’t feel uncomfortable or angry. Your defense in response to trying to avoid someone else’s defense.

When things aren’t working out so well with all this defense going on we generally start the problem solving by pointing the finger outside ourselves. They ……, we can fill in the blanks with so many things. They just don’t get it. Ahem, ok go ahead get it out of your system. Unless you’re a saint we both know we are both going to travel down that blame path a bit. Sometimes a lot. We’ll rally our friends around us and they will conspire with us about how wonderful we are and how pathetic or awful “the other” is behaving. We are licking our wounds in hopes of healing them. In reality we are keeping them open and festered. Get the picture?

Let’s go back to responsibility. Responsibility to self. That’s right, point those fingers at yourself. This doesn’t have to be punishing. I know you wanted to punish the other. So now you might think you need to punish yourself. NO! Don’t go there. Take a deep breath and let it out. Do that several times and as you release your breath allow the tension to melt away as much as you can.

This isn’t about punishment. It isn’t about being bad. It’s about learned responses. Oh now isn’t that better. Learned responses. Kinda ties into responsibility pretty nice.

I’m not done with this topic, but right now I’m going to shift the laundry around and go out an enjoy this beautiful day a bit. I deserve it. I am responsible for my own joy. Yep, no one can take it away but me. See you soon.

If you need to talk to someone about your own responsibility issues feel free to call me for an appointment.

In Love,
Susan

Joy

I like feeling the joy of source flowing through me.

When are you in those times of flow? I generally feel that flow when I am dancing, though not always. Other activities that help me get in that flow are tai chi, yoga, meditation. I remember times when working on art has helped me make that connection. There are times when I get engrossed in my garden that I feel that free flow.

How about you? Do you know what that feels like? Would you like to experience more?
Make an appointment with me and I will assist you in strengthening your connection to source, to your joy.

Empowered

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant?  Gorgeous?  Talented?  Fabulous?  Actually, who are you not to be?  You are a child of God.  Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.  We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.  It is not just in some of us.  It is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.  As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

From A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson

To claim our power we must face our issues of authority and power. We must learn to trust ourselves not to misuse our powers. The stories we grow up with and the movies that we watch portray our conflict with power. The good and bad are always battling. The truth being that what we are observing outside ourselves is truly in the inner battle we live in some form or another.

Do you feel you stand firmly in your power? Do you manipulate others to get what you want? Maybe you don’t even try to get what you want? Have you given up?

I believe we have all found ways to manipulate for what we desire. What does it mean to be empowered?

Creativity

I allow my creative spirit to guide me.

Smile, It Does A Body Good

It can be easy to get sucked into negativity some times.  Especially if you are in the habit of watching the news or reading the newspaper.  If you find yourself in a sour mood or maybe you just want to keep yourself more upbeat, SMILE.  Science has proven that smiling can help improve your health.  More good news…it doesn’t cost anything.  Woo hoo.  Now there’s another reason to smile.

Feeling down?  Plant a smile on your face and see what happens.  It may feel odd at first, but if you keep those corners turned up your mood will follow.

As a direct result of feeling better your stress levels go down.  You can trick your body into relaxing.

Smiling is contagious.  This is something you want to spread around the office and at home.  Get in the habit of smiling at people and see what happens.  Make it a genuine smile from the heart.

You will also be boosting the immune system, lowering blood pressure, releasing endorphins, natural pain killers and serotonin.  Wow!

I feel better already.

You’ve most likely heard the saying, “be the change you want to see in the world.”  It can start with something as inexpensive and as easy as a smile.  A smile can be like the gentle movement of the butterfly in flight.  Don’t underestimate the power of simplicity.

In Love,

:)  Susan

 

 

Fearless

Parents often think that they are here to guide the little ones. When – in
reality – the little ones come forth with clarity to guide you.

— Abraham

I must say I wish when I was raising my children I knew then what I know now. We have to trust we are all on this journey together for a reason. Learning and sharing our experiences. Learning to trust our inner wisdom.

Children are so fearless until adults teach them to fear. Here we are as adults reaching for our child like trust and courage. Let’s go for it!

Reflection

Sometimes it helps to change your focus to see the world a little different and get a fresh perspective. It can open up new worlds and possibilities.

Escape

Haven’t updated you lately on the bunnies.  Didn’t release them this weekend.  I don’t think I’m ready or they are, except for one little guy.  He keeps escaping from the bunny pen.  It took me awhile to catch him tonight.  I stopped at one point and asked myself what I could learn from this situation.  I wasn’t exactly having fun!

I realized I was in predator mode trying to catch him.  Yea, I’d run also!

I stopped and connected with him on an energetic level.  Become the bunny.  Breath, relax, catch the bunny.  Hold him to my heart.  Put in the pen with his buddies and plenty of food.

I’m sure my friends with horses that follow the Parrelli methods will appreciate this.

I wonder what else they can teach me?

In Joy.
