The Lake of a Thousand Dreams

Once upon a time in a land not so far away there lived a princess: bright, strong, independent, Her palace overlooked the Lake of a Thousand Dreams, yet she was unable to dream passion, balance and light-heartedness into her world.

The Princess suffered. One day she would be alive with happiness in what life gave her, the next day dying in hopelessness from what she saw in the world.

This story is about how she found and lived the three-fold dream of passion, balance and light-heartedness no matter what life gave her. This story is how she became Queen.

The Ah-Ha Moment…Cultivating Mental Plasticity

•Summon the courage and determination to be in an open, unstructured environment
where Silence lives.

•Feel into the emptiness while making room for all of you underneath the sky of your thoughts.

•Be your own portable laboratory as the Ah-Ha Moment breaks down old concepts
and recreates you.

Remember: No guts, no glory!

Between a rock and a hard place?

Abiquiu, New Mexico 190317

When wanting to leave
Sit and stay put.

When the story within is retold again and again
Sit and stay put.

When the energy begins to dissolve
Sit and stay put.

When the emptiness unfolds
Sit and stay put..

When the energy begins a new form
Sit and stay put.

Breathe into and widen the circle to include all life.
Breathe into and widen the circle to include all life.
Breathe into and widen the circle to include all life.

Remember: No guts, no glory!

You don’t have it in you!

Nonsense!  If you thought it, you have it in you.  Invite the memory of the first time you realized you wanted to do it. 

Begin reclaiming those long ignored parts of yourself that brought the awe and wonder into your life.  Breathe them back in.  Let them self-organize and embody you fully.  Let their wisdom show you the next steps. 

Remember:  No guts, no glory!
