Creating Them* as Your Allies

•Cut away all the storylines and go into Stillness.
•Listen to IC, MM and G* from your heart.
•Speak to Them* from your heart.
•Listen again…now even deeper.

•Ask IC, MM, and G* how they can guide you and become your ally.
•LIsten to the story presently told.
•Amplify and manifest by finding a tangible object to represent their answer.
•Proceed into what needs to be acted on in this moment.
•Open to what is. Open to Just This.

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!

How do we know when we are ready?

Hmmm…What has this house in Encino, NM been waiting for? Photograph by Ann-Marie McKelvey.

Perhaps it is when the fear is greatest that it is time to plunge. After all, if we wait until we are ready, we could be waiting the rest of our lives.

Remember, “No guts! No glory!”

Mind Training is the Antidote

It will take the courage of awareness. It is not difficult. It is not impossible.

It is staying focused and refusing to go into trance.
It is remembering your strengths and your passions.
It is giving yourself the strength to say No.
So you can say YES! to what is truly important.

Remember: No guts, no glory!

As the Zen Koan Says…

Be awake!  Be alert!  Do not be fooled by anyone! This includes the monologues from IC, MM and G*!

They are said in many ways: slowly, quietly, loudly, persuasively, somatically, clipped, authoritatively, wisely…even happily!

Yet no matter how they are said…
Remember to Be awake!  Be alert!  Do not be fooled by anyone!

Here are a few to be aware of…

  • You just aren’t good enough yet.
  • This is another one of your follies.
  • You are out of your league.
  • Who do you think you are, anyway?
  • There is no way you can succeed.
  • You are too old. You are too young. You are just too much!
  • You don’t know how to do this.
  • What if _________ happens?
  • You need to wait until __________.
  • You tried before and it didn’t work.
  • You’ve abstained from _______, now you deserve to have just a little. One (drink, toke, dose, bite) won’t hurt. Go for it!

Being awake and alert are the first steps…more to follow on Friday!

No Guts! No Glory!

Remember when you were younger?  Jumping over rocks, ditches, puddles and streams?  Jumping off the swing?  Jumping into adventures?

Today let’s jump over obstacles, over thoughts that no longer serve, over negative belief patterns. 

Yes, let’s jump together while shouting, “No guts, no glory!” with a carefree grin!

Eee-la-la! Feels great!

Join me here during the month of March to become more aware as we transform our Gremlins, Inner Critics, and Monkey Minds – and to give them more pertinent and worthwhile jobs, or just a vacation!
