Standing Tall with Big Heart: Somatically, Mindfully, Creatively, Unceasingly
This is not a time to hesitate.
Jump into the life you have always wanted to live.
Walk confidently into this new world that has emerged.
Let your moral compass lead your actions.
Give yourself permission to love what is.
Within this new world is your new life.
Find it and live it.
Say yes to it and watch how your life soars.
Release what you have been holding back. Take the lid off and let the emergence of creativity rise.
Oppression holds us back while dissolving passions, excitement, and love.
Breathe in and embody the antidote of living in an expansive mindset. Step into spaciousness without hesitation. Express, express, express.

Do not let CoVid-19 define you.
Do not let CoVid-19 lead you.
Do not let CoVid-19 choose your behavioral defaults.
Today choose healthy antidotes needed
To find your life’s rhythm
In this new world unfolding.
The fires? the smoke?
The drought? The heat?
The pandemic? The isolation?
The good guys? The bad guys?
What will it take for you
To bottom out
On what isn’t working,
To see what is working?
Imagine the focus
Is what is arising
Out of the ashes.
Imagine the focus
Is resiliency
Strength
New and better ways of being.
How are you perceiving your world now?
Let go of the excuses, logical explanation, words and judgments.
There is no time to indulge.
It’s simply time to move into alignment.
Ground, center, align.
Engage, thrive, contribute.
Be the Spiritual Warrier.
I will ask each meditator who has been sitting for 27 minutes,
“How will you contribute to the world today?”
Why do I ask?
Because this is not a time on our beloved planet to indulge in lassitude.
This is a time to rise to the occasion. And then rise higher.
Meditation and mindfulness is about being engaged 100%
First within our inner landscape to find balance and alignment
Then into the outer landscape where we engage and contribute .
How will you engage in and contribute to the world today?

If you are your oldest and dearest friend…
You may be your oldest and dearest enemy.
Observing that possibility
Notice your self-talk. Notice how you view yourself.
Notice.
And know you have choices…
Even in the noticing.
Each decision we choose during the day is a vote.
How are you voting for your life this weekend?
To determine what dance is dancing you…look who you have become.
If you find your dance is not a reflection of who you want to be…
Change the music
Restructure the choreography of your life
Leap into the air of changes
Become the dance you have always known was there.
Let the dance dance you.
September 2, 1993 I witnessed Mikhail Baryshnikov become the dance at the Santa Fe Opera. I wept as the sun went down over the Jemez Mountains and the dance danced him. It was a sacred, holy time. He. Was. The. Dance.
Becoming the dance didn’t happen miraculously for him that early fall evening. It took years of practice, discipline, and inspriation. It took finding mentors. It took staying focused. It took sacrificing and saying no in order to say yes to the dance, one hundred percent.
What have you become? And who are you becoming? What are you practicing? What are you focusing on? What are you sacrificing so you can say yes to your dance?
