What I have come to know about the art of living from my Soul’s Flow is that magic happens! You know the synchronistic type of magic that occurs that makes you smile to yourself ~ the kind that lights you up and brings with it a feeling of joy.
When I was a child I was taught that if you held a sea shell up to your ear, you could hear the sound of the sea. This was fascinating to me! Since I was born and raised in Florida, I had a lot of opportunities to listen to the voice of the ocean.
In 2013 I was on retreat in Costa Rica. One of our extra curricular activities was an opportunity to go zip lining. A part of me was super excited to give it a try ~ another part of me was terrified. One thing I know about myself is that if I have a desire, a gut feeling, a call to do something, I can dig deep and muster the courage to make it happen. Even if it scares me and there are a lot of unknowns.
About 4 years ago, a very well known and prominent doctor suggested I open an institute/school to teach others the healing work that I do.
This woman’s work in the world is beyond amazing and I have always looked up to her as a mentor and colleague. I was both thrilled and honored at this invitation and also scared to death!
When I was a young girl I loved to play outside. We lived across the street from a park in Minnesota where I had the joy of swinging on the swings, climbing on the monkey bars and going on that “thing” that spins you round & round. Anything having to do with being in nature made my heart sing.
My Mom used to tell me that she would have to change my clothes three times a day because I got so dirty. I didn’t care if I was messy. I was playing!
As I sit down to write, I feel that familiar tightness in my belly. I have come to know this sensation as resistance. Instead of letting it hold me back, I breathe into it…it has a message for me. I seize this feeling of resistance as an opportunity, a catalyst for growth.
I made a commitment to myself that NOW is the time! It has become too uncomfortable to operate from my old ways of being. Although I still feel some fear, I mostly feel gratitude. I am more compelled to share my work and my Soul Play journey with others than I am to resist…it is a dance…one that I choose to welcome and embrace.
Over the past year I have been drawn to pay more attention to my creativity. The best way for me to access that energy and get my creative juices flowing is to place my hand on my heart and sink in.
I invite you to do the same…take a deep breath, place your hand on your heart and drop your awareness here as you read on….
When Resistance comes up….I would rather paint the ceiling!
Even as I sit down to write this morning, I feel the tightening in my belly, catch myself holding my breath and can’t wait until my timer goes off on my phone so that I can call it lovely & be done!
I had a conversation with a friend I have known for almost 20 years. She said, “Do you remember when I first met you … you muscle tested me and helped me get to the bottom of something that the Mayo Clinic could not. You were doing all of this healing stuff before it was popular.” I realized that I have always, in a sense, lived outside of the box….
For those of you who know me well, you are aware that I am a private person by nature. For those of you who don’t, well that is why!
For the past couple of years I have felt this big “nudge/calling” to get my work out into the world on a deeper & more expansive level. I have resisted to put myself “out there”, as it really takes me out of my comfort zone.
