Weekly Wings - SoulCollage Discovery Circle

 

New Spirit - Committee Card

SoulCollage Discovery Circle - Starting March 22

Every year about this time, I begin to sense a re-emergence of spirit in anticipation of Spring.  For me, the Vernal Equinox signals a new year as I come out of hibernation, ready to welcome new growth and energy.  This year, I want to celebrate the Vernal Equinox and new beginnings by honoring my intuition and nourishing my creativity, and I invite you to join me on this journey.

Starting March 22, I will be hosting a SoulCollage Discovery Circle to work through Seena Frost's book,  SoulCollage: An Intuitive Collage Process for Individuals and Groups.  SoulCollage is a process by which you access your intuition and use expressive visual imagery to create a deck of collaged cards.  It is for anyone who is interested in self discovery and self expression in a creative, non-competitive environment.  Together we will create our decks of cards and share our experiences.

SoulCollage cards are created by first allowing the power of images to call to you, and then intuitively composing them on cards to express the components of your personality, the archetypes, the community, and the animal guides that make up your own personal mythology.  In the process of creating your cards, you will connect with yourself in a deep and meaningful way and discover many truths that have remained hidden within.  

All you need to start is to leave a comment here and purchase a copy of Seena Frost's book, SoulCollage: An Intuitive Collage Process for Individuals and Groups.  Then starting March 22, I will post a prompt each week and provide a place for you to leave a link to your blog so you can share your SoulCollage journey with the circle.  

You can read more about SoulCollage here.

Namaste,

Weekly Wings Challenge 19 - Attracting Abundance

The air is getting cooler, and all around my house in the woods the creatures are stocking up for the winter, gathering from the many offerings that surround them.  The birds pluck berries from the trees, the bears and deer forage in the undergrowth, and the squirrels gather acorns.  For them, these last days of summer are bountiful, and they take freely from what the land has to give them.  It is in their nature to expect abundance as a natural part of their life.

Attitude of Abundance

Many of us believe that abundance has to do with financial prosperity, and that it is reserved for a few lucky people who are in the right place at the right time.  Although the idea of abundance involving financial comfort is partially true, the experience of abundance as a life style is both broad and deep, and it depends on our ability to create clarity around our core values and our willingness to set our priorities accordingly.

In her book Creating True Prosperity, Shakti Gawain defines prosperity as the experience of having plenty of what we truly need in life, material and otherwise.  Catherine Ponder, author of Open Your Mind to Prosperity, adds another dimension, suggesting that prosperity can measured by the degree that you are experiencing peace, health, and happiness in your world.  It's clear, then, that the concept of abundance will mean different things to different people.  Your challenge is to understand what prosperous abundance means to you so you can attract it into your life.

Defining Abundance

Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into. - Wayne Dyer

The first step to attracting abundance is to simply define what it means to you.  Take some time to free-write journal your thoughts about what an abundant life means to you, without censoring. Allow your inner voice to come through and speak the truth.  Be mindful to listen for messages about what you value most in your experiences, relationships, possessions.  When you've finished free-writing, go back and write a clear description of your ideal abundant life.  If you wish,  create a visual representation of it as well.  The more you engage your senses to verbalize and visualize prosperity, the stronger your attractive energy will become.

From Scarcity to Prosperity

The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car… a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little. - Ben Sweetland

Many of us become stalled by scarcity thinking - attitudes and beliefs that there isn't enough for us, we can't break free of where we are now, or we don't deserve better. In order to experience abundance, it's essential to identify patterns of limiting beliefs and scarcity programming and then create new beliefs that will open you to receiving abundance.  Michael J. Losier, author of Law of Attraction, provides a simple formula for removing limiting beliefs by creating Allowing Statements.  For each limiting belief you hold, use the following process to turn it into a written Allowing Statement:

• Ask yourself if there is currently anyone doing what you want to do or having what you want. 
• If so, how many people have been doing this today, yesterday, last week, last month, last year?
• Write your responses in the third person as a general statement, making certain that your statement is plausible.
• Notice as you read and speak your statement that what you want is entirely possible.
• Use your Allowing Statement as a replacement for the original limiting belief to remove the doubt that is preventing you from receiving what you want.

Acknowledge the Abundance You Already Have

When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears. - Anthony Robbins

Each day we have is a gift in itself, and each day brings us innumerable gifts - small and large.  In an earlier post, I wrote about the power of gratitude to shift your thinking to create positive attitudes and experiences.   When you purposefully and intentionally show appreciation for the gifts you receive each day, whether they are tangible or intangible, you surround yourself with prosperous energy.  Your awareness that the plentiful Universe has provided you with so much good creates a strong attraction for more good.  You can create even more positive energy by using the ritual of a daily gratitude or appreciation journal.

• Each day, write down everything you've appreciated about your day, using the language of gratitude, emotion and enthusiasm  You can write about people, events, feelings, the weather - anything goes!  
• When you're finished, take a few moments to give thanks for the gifts you've received and for the gifts you will continue to receive. 

Wrapping it Up

Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart. - Sarah Ban Breathnach

Abundance is available to each one of us to the degree we are willing to open ourselves to receive it.  By clearly defining what abundance means to you, reprogramming the limiting beliefs that hold you prisoner to scarcity thinking, and showing gratitude for the prosperity each days brings, you create attractive positive energy.  The more you practice being prosperous, the more abundance you will receive.

Namaste,

Holistic Creativity

Be an everyday creative person, creative in everything you do. - Eric Maisel

As I approach the start of another academic year, I'm pondering the sometimes precarious balancing act I perform as I move among the various roles I play as coach, artist, and educator.  Often it seems like there isn't enough time in the day or the week to accomplish everything I want to do, and it's easy to fall into a sense of overwhelm, a  feeling most of us experience at times in our demanding lives.  We juggle job, family, relationships, hobbies, and self-care with a stubborn sameness each day, and often find ourselves physically and emotionally depleted.

One technique that I use when the waters of life start to rise around me is to retreat to the higher ground of inspiration - check in with my creative muse to discover fresh ways to perceive my situation and create new approaches for navigating through my various roles. Although each area is distinct with its unique demands,  everything I do is nurtured by my creative energy.  When that energy is stifled, I feel as if I could drown in the mundane tasks of each day.  When I let that energy flow, I sail gracefully over the water, exhilarated by new challenges.  So, as I approach each day and each new task, I seek creative inspiration as a catalyst for growth.

Inviting Creative Inspiration

Creativity can come to us  at any time and in any form, bearing marvelous ideas, enlightening insights, and the energy to try new things without fear.  Whatever your field or interest may be, creative inspiration is an essential element for innovative growth and a joyful process.  When we use creativity as a conscious tool, we not only discover who we are - we become better problem solvers and even the most ordinary tasks can take on an element of interest.  Inviting creativity into our lives allows us to receive wonderful, unexpected gifts.

In her book The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women, Gail McMeekin suggests two simple ways to foster creative thinking:  create a sanctuary and invent creative rituals.  These two practices can work well together by providing a "sacred space" that belongs to you and your muse and by providing specific structures that welcome your muse to visit!  Neither the space nor the rituals need be elaborate; the important thing is that they are meaningful to you in a deep and personal way that brings feelings of peace, joy, and creative energy.

• Start by creating your sanctuary, a "sacred space" dedicated to visits with your muse.  It can be as defined as a room of your own or as informal as a corner of a room.  Surround yourself with things that feed your senses, emotions, and intellect.  If you can't decorate a room or a corner, consider something portable - a box of objects that inspire you and create a mood that's conducive to reflection and inspiration. 

• Schedule time to spend in your sanctuary, knowing that it is the special place where you invite creative thinking and practices.  Be sure to have the tools of creative expression ready - paper, pen, computer, paints, etc.

• Invent rituals that spark creativity.  These rituals can range from listening to certain music, taking a walk, journaling, reading poetry, doodling, meditating... whatever comes naturally to you that helps loosen you up and free your mind.  It's when your mind is free and clear that inspiration appears.

• Be conscious of what supports your individual creativity.  Is there a particular time of day when you feel more receptive to inspiration?  Do you get your best ideas when you're active or when you're relaxing?  Be mindful of what conditions allow your mind to switch into creativity mode, and honor them.

• Welcome inspiration without judgment!  Your muse is sensitive, and if you are critical and disdainful, she won't visit very often.  Sometimes her gifts may seem strange or irrelevant.  Just stash them away for a while; they may be very useful to you at a later date!  Always keep in mind the wise words of creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson  - If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.

Wrapping it Up

Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual. - Arthur Koestler

Creativity is tool that isn't limited to just artists . We can all use a creative approach to enrich our personal and professional lives - no matter who you are and what you do.  It grows out of a desire for change and can easily be nurtured by giving it a place and some time to appear.

Namaste,

Weekly Wings Challenge 17 - The Practice of Patience

Instant Dissatisfaction

Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it. - Soren Kierkegaard

We live in an era of that has programmed us to expect instant gratification. Information, connections, and possessions are no more than a mouse-click away, and every self help book, diet regimen, and financial program promises us rapid results - in a big way.  This compelling combination of accessibility and hype leads us to believe - and expect - that we can get what we want when we want it, especially when it comes to personal development.

The fact is - personal development is an evolution.  Much like designing and building your dream house, you design and build your life.  You start with a solid foundation, create a strong structure, and go from there, always keeping in mind that inevitably there will be things that might alter or slow your expected outcome.  In order to continue building your life, you need to be able to go with the flow and not allow an unconscious sense of entitlement to derail your forward motion.  And the key to going with the flow is the ability to practice patience.

Learning to Evolve

Patience is the ability to count down before you blast off.  - Author Unknown

Although there is no formula for learning patience, there are a few strategies you can use to start the process.  You might find it helpful to journal your experiences as you go through the following exercises.

• Acknowledge that being patient is a choice you make.  Knowing what kinds of situations trigger feelings of impatience and frustration will allow you to make that choice in the moment and avoid the downward spiral of negative thoughts and feelings.

• Observe your behavior and thought patterns in situations where you find yourself wanting quick results.  How much patience do you have when a problem arises?  How much patience do you have with yourself when it comes to personal goals?  What does impatience feel like?  How does it impact you and your relationship with others?  Practice mindfulness so that your attention is on how you are feeling and processing in stressful moments.

• Once you've identified your patience level and pattern, determine what beliefs you have in place that might limit your ability to be patient.  Then, replace those beliefs with new thought and behavior patterns that will allow you to be more patient.

• Practice your new thoughts and beliefs by breaking big goals down into smaller pieces.  By giving yourself goals that are more short term and realistically attainable, you will have more frequent rewards for hard work and patience, which will strengthen your ability to be patient in more challenging situations. 

• Learn to be in the moment by using simple centering exercises throughout the day to connect to your being.  Take a few moments to close your eyes, breathe, relax and expand within and without, feeling and surrendering to the energy of the moment you're in.  Practice this technique and know that you can consciously call on it whenever you need to connect to the peace and the power of being in the moment.

Wrapping it Up

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. - John Quincy Adams

By letting go of the need for instant gratification, you gain emotional freedom and coping skills based on a stronger core of acceptance and compassion.  Cultivating patience will help you avoid dissatisfaction and frustration with yourself and others, allowing you to focus your energy on the positive aspects of your life.  Patience allows you to bank your energy and collect interest.

Namaste,

Who's Your Biggest Critic?

Human beings have an inalienable right to invent themselves - Germaine Greer

Big dreams are the fuel of personal growth and progress.  Yet so many people choose to think within the box - a limited space that's been created either by their fears or by their belief that it isn't possible to be live their lives bigger or better.  The result?  Instead of embracing the energy of change, they resign themselves to the frustration that comes with stagnation.

Often what keeps us in our place is that inner voice that becomes louder and more insistent in proportion to the grandeur of our dreams. Although this voice goes by many names - The Saboteur, The Gremlin, The Inner Critic, The Judge, and so on - it is always ready to dish out judgment, rules, and limiting beliefs just as we are about to step out and take a personal risk to achieve change and fulfillment.  The voice usually says things like...

You can't...
You should...
You shouldn't...
You're too.....
It's too late...
You don't have the time...
Maybe someday....

...and as we listen, our confidence and resolve begins to disappear.  Then, instead of designing and manifesting the life we want, we retreat, never to know the joy that comes from following our bliss. 

Giving Voice to your Destiny

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. - Patrick Overton

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the power of words and the importance of replacing negative messages with positive affirmations.  Your challenge this week is to continue that process by identifying and neutralizing the inner voice (which I will refer to as the saboteur) that holds you back whenever you want to step out and think big.

• The first step in this neutralization process is to simply be aware and notice when your saboteur starts to speak.  What is the situation?  Is there a pattern to its appearances?

• Once you've developed an awareness of your saboteur's patterns, give it an identity.  Have fun with this - give it a name and a personality, and create a visual image of it.  By bringing your saboteur out of hiding and giving it an identity, it begins to lose its power to cause you fear and stall your actions.  The more vivid and humorous your image is, the more easily you will be able to deal with what your saboteur says.

• Understand that your saboteur's motives are to protect you from pain and disappointment, but it's only one part of your being that is playing the role of the over-protective parent.  Tune into the other voices that are speaking and hear what they say, always making sure you listen for messages that are aligned with your personal core values.

• Finally, develop an inner coach to dialogue with the saboteur.  Take a piece of paper, fold it in half lengthwise, and on the left side make a list of the most common statements your saboteur makes whenever you decide to try something new.  Then, for each negative statement, write a response that comes from your other, positive voices.  Give these affirmative statements to your inner coach to use whenever your saboteur shows up with negative messages.  Your coach will speak  powerfully from the authority of your values and counter the nay-saying of your inner critic.

Wrapping it Up

If you can dream it, you can do it. ~Walt Disney

Learning to recognize your saboteur and developing a strategy to enlist the support of your inner coach is an important tool for your personal growth. Once you understand that you can choose your thoughts, you can start to think big and take action on those thoughts.  You can look at your dreams and have the confidence to follow them.

Namaste,

Shine On!

This week's challenge is short, but very sweet, based on some inspiring words I recently came across:  The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more in life there is to celebrate.  So I ask you...

What do you praise and celebrate in your life?

Explore your life's bounty... in words or images or in any other way you wish... and have a beautiful day!

Smile Power

Imagine a day in which everything you did put a smile on your face.  What would it look like?  How would it feel?

English politician and writer Joseph Addison once wrote, “What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable."  Smiling is a powerful physiological, emotional, and mental gift we can give to ourselves and others, both reflecting what we feel inside and affecting how we feel.  When we feel joy or delight, our most natural physical response is to smile.  We can also transform our mood from bad to good by simply turning up the corners of our mouth and triggering the brain's pleasure points.  Try it - you'll find that it's pretty hard to feel sad or angry when you have a huge smile on your face!

In addition to making you look more appealing and changing your mood,there other benefits to smiling:

• It makes you naturally attractive to others
• It's contagious - you can spread the good vibes!
• It's a great stress-buster as it elevates your mood.
• There is documented medical evidence that smiling lowers your blood pressure, boosts your immune system, and releases endorphins.
• Studies have shown that people who smile bigger and more often are perceived as more successful.

So, with all that's good about smiling, how much time do you actually spend each day doing things that make you smile?

Smile Prescription

You can create a powerful shift in your attitude and your life by incorporating smiley events - those things that create joy and delight - into your days.

• Start by simply listing things that make you happy.  Consider all the areas of your life - your work, your hobbies, your projects, your relationships, etc.  Think about things you enjoy doing alone and things you enjoy doing with another or others.  Try to get at least twenty-five items on your list.

• When you've completed your list, go back and make sure each of your items is expressed very specifically so that you can easily envision exactly what is it, who you are with, where and when it takes place.

• Now use that list to incorporate one new smiley thing to each day of the week. 

• Continue to add to your list, and continue to add smiley activities to your days

Wrapping it Up

You can enrich the quality of your life tremendously by finding ways to arrange your days so that you are doing things that bring you joy and make you smile.  Although this might ultimately mean making lifestyle choices, the payoff in the end is well worth it.  American writer and lecturer Dale Carnegie aptly observed that a smile "costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever."

Namaste,

The Power of Words

Most of us know the benefits of using affirmations to focus our energy on the positive things we want to attract into our lives. Used along with creative visualization, strong desire, faith and persistence, affirmations have the power to take hold of our subconscious minds and channel our energy towards our goals.

But what happens when our minds are confused by repeated negative messages?  When you let your mind circle around worries, fears, and anger, your subconscious takes those negative messages as seriously as it takes affirming messages.  The same thing happens when you habitually use negative, deprecating language about yourself and the situations that surround you, even in a light-hearted or ironic manner.  Your subconscious mind can't take a joke!  It takes your words and thoughts literally and works hard to align them with reality.

You Are What You Say

Words can build you up or knock you down.  The way you choose to use your words determines whether they will bring positive or negative results.

• Take an inventory of the negative things you say out loud or to yourself, even if you don't really mean them.  Statements that begin with "I can't" or " I would never" might be a good place to start.  Pay attention as well to the ways in which you insult yourself - "I'm so clumsy, " "I'm not very creative," and so on.  Even non-committal language like "I'll try" falls into the category of negative messaging.

• Start consciously eliminating and replacing those negative statements with affirmations, phrased in positive language.  Affirm in the present tense:  "I am healthy, strong and happy."

• Repeat your affirmations frequently throughout the day, taking a few moments to relax and focus your mind on your positive messages.  You may say them out loud or to yourself. The stronger your concentration and belief in the process is, the faster you will achieve results.

• Be patient!  Negative self-talk is a habit, and habits take time to change.  The secret lies in conscious awareness, genuine intention, and consistent work.  Be firm and aware using this process until it becomes internalized.

Wrapping it Up

You can start the process of change in this moment by simply changing your language.  Instead of bombarding your subconscious with negative messages, choose positive affirmations to exercise control over your life.  Using strong, positive, and inspiring affirmations creates belief and energy that will lead you to the life you truly want.

Namaste,

Weekly Wings Challenge 12 - How Do You To-Do?

______________________________________________________________________

Some of us like making lists, and there's almost no end to the kinds of lists we make.  Grocery lists, wish-lists, guest lists, likes, dislikes, goals, mailing lists, to-do lists... you get the idea.  Lists are wonderful organizational tools that help us define, categorize, prioritize, and focus on the many things that fill our lives, but sometimes they take on a life of their own and morph from a positive tool into a source of stress. 

What to Do?

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to save the world and a desire to savor the world. That makes it hard to plan the day. - E.B White

I like to make To-Do lists for each week, assigning myself different tasks to accomplish each day.  I look at my list and think about how great it will be to finish all the wonderful projects and necessary tasks  I've committed to paper, with the idea that by the time the week is over I will have successfully completed each one.  More often than not, however, there are several items that don't get checked off and I'm left feeling a bit.... well, unaccomplished.

Of course, what's really happened is that I've been overly-optimistic and have overly to-do-ed myself.  As a creative person, I am energized by possibility, so when I make my lists my reality meter is usually operating on a very low frequency. Lately, I've decided that I need to use this recurring situation as a tool to learn about priorities, choices, and guiltlessly accepting the need to sometimes jettison a few things on my list. 

From To-Do to Ta-Da!

This week's challenge is take a look at whatever system you've set up to write your To-Do list and share it with us. 

• Do you create a series of lists for long and short terms goals and tasks?

• What kinds of things do you schedule?

• How do you prioritize?

• Do you schedule fun things that are just for you?

• How do you keep your list - on a calendar, on your computer, in folders?

• What do you do with the items you don't get done?

Wrapping it Up

Your To-Do list can be either a powerful tool that guides you through your days  and weeks, or it can be a nagging reminder of your shortcomings.  Writing an effective To-Do list is both an art and a science.  The science is coming up with a system that works, allowing you to set goals you can realistically accomplish.  The art is learning how to work gracefully and guiltlessly with your system when you need to be flexible.

Namaste,
