We All Learn From One Another

I love how people are put into our paths for a reason.  I love how we can learn and grow our souls from each and every person we meet or have contact with during the day.  I love how the enlightenment of one can be just the perfect thing we needed to hear.  I’m fascinated how when one makes himself vulnerable and tells “his story” and the overcoming of it, how it can lead to a path of healing for others.

Lately, I’ve been walking around with eyes wide open.  I see and hear things like I have never seen and heard before.  By being fully present in the company of another and staying out of my head and my agenda, the answers come to me in the most amazing of ways.

Yesterday, I met with someone I had not seen in quite some time.  I was fully present and just allowed for the moment to flow gracefully from one topic to the next.  I had no preconceived notions or hidden agendas.  I was able to just “be”.  The conversations that ensued, the words exchanged, the validations and healing that took place from that conversation was worth a million dollars.  I believe the universe put this person in my presence for exactly those reasons.  I, an empowerment coach, became empowered!  We may be coaches and are able to hold space for others, but we, too, are human beings with a journey.  The places where I second guess or wondered about were answered in just over an hours time.

I remember watching the other person speak to me and being so fascinated with their story and their insights I didn’t even really want to speak.  I was so honored to be sharing space with such a growing soul.  One of my validations was how fascinated and supporting I am of other’s growth.  When I hear stories of overcoming life’s trials I am truly overjoyed!  We all have them, but it’s what we do with them that is so important!  I have always been this way and truly realized during those moments of connection how much I truly love fellow man and view us all as innocent in this world.

I invite you to honor your time with another.  Be open in the space you share.  Lose your defenses and protection and just be…  Invite vulnerability into your life.  By making oneself vulnerable, it allows others to be as well and it’s truly fascinating what you will hear and how it will heal.

Checking in with my New Year's Intention: Wow!

So the last week of 2010 I pondered what would be the most beneficial intention for me in 2011.  Hmmmm…..  Finally I came up with “living totally in the NOW”.  For me, this meant enjoying the little things and being fully present when my children or parents are talking to me and basically just slowing down a bit.  I thought it would merely help me to enjoy the smaller things in life and to show up more complete for my family.  Boy, was I in for a surprise!

         

It is now day 34 into my New Year’s Intention and my life has shifted in ways I had no idea it would!

1.     My creativity took off!  I couldn’t believe it!  The juices started flowing and there is no stopping me!  I feel like I am riding a bike downhill with my legs outstretched and my hair blowing freely.  It has been the most amazing feeling…  Weeeeee!

2.    The joy!  Oh… my… gosh…  I have finally landed into a place of pure joy.  No matter what is going on around me, no matter who is acting up, I can remain in my joyful place.  I may be rocked a bit at first, but returning to homeostasis is so easy now!  I no longer hold onto stress like I use to.  I realize that only love matters no matter what.
3.     Doors opening!  Who knew that “staying in the NOW” would manifest doors opening?  I believe it’s because when we stay fully present (not worrying over our futures or pasts) and we completely show up to this moment, WE DON’T MISS ANYTHING!  Our mind is clear and open to seeing/feeling/hearing everything around us.  It’s like a whole new awareness!  And we only focus on the areas that our desires reside in thus manifesting just that!  Fascinating!

4.    Everyday is Disneyland!  This is the one shift that still has me amazed…  I have literally found that I go to bed every night…  get this…  excited for tomorrow!  And when I say excited, I mean excited!  I have an anticipation of-  Yay!  What new thing is going to happen tomorrow!  I literally feel like each new day is going to hold some kind of magic for me and I wait in excited anticipation!

Who knew that by merely “Staying in the NOW” would change my life in so many fascinating ways!  I am literally blown away.  I chose my intention to help me stay focused rather than lost in my own thoughts, and to my great surprise, I received that and so much more! 

My invitation to you is this:  Practice staying in the NOW.  This means being fully present in all areas of your life no matter what it is you are doing.  Driving, cleaning the toilet, exercise, eating.  Stay fully present.  Enjoy every single moment and see what magic happens for you!

Namaste’
