Whales, Laughter and Oneness

When was a time your Heart and Spirit
Felt wholeheartedly
Nourished?

For me
It was swimming in the Pacific
With my son
A few miles off the Maui shore.

It was just the two of us until
A Mama whale began
Singing to her calf
In the deep waters.

The gentle waves combined with
The singing, embodied us
With a sense of happy wonder.
Our happiness evolved
Into a Meditation of Oneness.

I visit this memory often.
Why? Because it nourishes me
And when I do, I feel happy.

As you bring up your memory
In your mind’s eye
Notice. everything. single. thing.
Feel into it.
Breathe into it.
Embody it.

Highlight this memory in
Your mind’s eye
Tracking it from
Beginning to end.

This is your go-to
When your Heart and Spirt
Are aching to be nourished.

Happiness is fun, isn’t it!


It’s the Gnarly Mindset…

Where flow is not perceived –
Where the unfolding process is not trusted –
Where Monkey Mind is continuously
Jumping haphazardly
In no particular direction.

It’s a dizzying experience,
This Gnarly Mindset.

A bit gnarly! 2012 Haiku, Maui

What to do?
Invite Breath to guide you into Spaciousness.

For five minutes do Belly Breaths through your nose:
Deeply inhale ten counts.
Hold ten counts.
Exhale slowly ten counts.
Hold ten counts.
Repeat.

As the mind settles
Connection happens.
Higher states of Consciousness
Are experienced.

Belly Breaths…

In
Out
Deeper
And
Deeper

Bringing your body relaxation
And your thoughts a softening.

Belly Breaths
Good for what ails ya!

The Good Enough Mindset

I am good enough.
You are good enough.
We are good enough.

In the beginning
Developing the Good Enough Mindset
Requires constant repetition
To ward off the Inner Critic
Who only believes in perfection.

The Good Enough Mindset
Gives permission
For curiosity, exploration, trust and commitment
To live wholeheartedly.

Just for today use
The three statements below
As mantras.

I am good enough.
You are good enough.
We are good enough.



Begin it.

This is not a time to analyze.
Instead….
It is a time to trust and greet
That part of you
That is ready to begin.

Surprise yourself…
Just for five minutes do “it”.
Feel what it is like
To begin.

The Procrastination Period is over.

So is the frustration of not doing “it”.

When it is time to shift…
Trust that it IS time to shift!

Remember – this is YOUR life.
May you navigate well
As you leave the Procrastination Period!

P.S.
It feels so good to be on this side! Come on over!

It’s all Practice…

Every. Single. Thing.
Is Practice.

Consider.
Contemplate.
Cultivate.

Get underneath and
Go beyond
The conditioned thoughts
The cultural norms
The habitual routines.

Surround yourself with
What has always been
Waiting for you…

Who are you?

Follow your energy!

Just for the next hour…
Follow the energy that is alive in you.

How to do this?
•Pause.
•Relax.
•Open to what is.
•Trust what is emerging.
•Listen deeply.
•Speak your truth.
•Breathe into the energy emanating.
•Let this energy guide you as your next actions unfold,

A note:
Monkey Mind, Inner Critic and Gremlin are not invited
To enter into this sacred space you have created.

Instead follow the aliveness
Bearing witness to all that is.
