To experience more synchronicity and 'coincidences' we need to listen and be aware of the world around us and also our intuition.That's how the universe speaks to itself, it's an ongoing flow of information that comes from both the outside and from within.Pay attention to how the universe speaks to you today and participate in the flow by being attentive and by listening to your inner voice.

Exciting times: I began studying again a little over a year ago. Seeking a new challenge, I settled on an independent book publishing course. And a whole new world unfolded. I have been fascinated by the content and inspired by the teachers and students I am studying with. I am also currently working with a dynamic team of rising authors, editors, and creatives, and have put my course work,…

Writing from within

The following is from an exercise from the creative writing course I am doing: from The Way of Story Writing. The exercise was to sit before a fresh page, clear your mind and write what comes from within. I have practiced guided writing for years so found it to be one of the easiest exercises so far. Although very personal, I thought maybe there was some wisdom here that was worthy of sharing:…

The Mind-Body-Heart-Spirit Connection as understood through BodyTalk

Yesterday was another BodyTalk session for me. It was also my wrap-up for my BodyTalk case-study journey that I started with my friend, practitioner and coach, Kristine Apostol, just over a year ago.  Although on their own, the sessions are powerful, when I look back at everything we covered over the last year, it completely makes sense why on so many levels I feel like a brand new person, at least on the inside. I've let go of so much, I've adapted so much, and my self-awareness, intuition, and my connection to my inner self, has grown so much.  During the session, amongst many other things, we talked about (and by talking I mean, Kristine artistically and professionally probed and guided me through her insightful and intelligent questions about) the connection between the Spirit, Heart, Body, and Mind, as it means to me.  We talked about how the mind believes certain things, and that it needs to do something a certain way. And then there's the body that is also trying to communicate with you through the symptoms it's portraying. Then there is the spirit aspect that brings the truth, the awareness and consciousness to your being and essence. So how do you connect the three to bring harmony amongst all different aspects? Well, that's where I believe (and understand) the heart comes in - the heart brain that is.  Ever think about (or rather feel), what it feels like in your heart when something feels right? To me, it's as a feeling of being open, free flowing, expansive, and a deep breath. The heart, I believe is the connector between your spirit, body and mind in understanding and acting upon your truths. It's also a filter because it's a source of compassion and love for yourself when you need to make those tough decisions between knowing and acting upon your truth. When I know something to be true in my core, but I'm scared to move forward with acting upon it, it's through access to this compassion and self-love that I feel in my heart, the trust that I have it within me, that I'm supported by the universe in all that I do, if I believe in and support myself, that I can calm my questioning and cynic mind and ego covered with fear of the unknown, and put my truths into action through my mind and body. Hence, I believe the heart is a key in doing things that "feel right", and that align with your truth as well. And although we didn't discuss this in our BodyTalk session, now thinking about it, I do also believe in the concept of a third brain, the gut brain - which I believe is where our instincts lie - but more on that another time. This discussion with Kristine, helped me bring into awareness, what I've always felt on some level, and yet struggled with too - the concept of understanding what role the heart plays in synchronizing the body, mind and spirit. Now I know what I believe and how I understand it! And that was just the start of our conversation and session! My actual session today came up as a "Mental Agenda" relating to the matrix of belief systems that have been imposed on me and which I'm having trouble separating my own belief systems from. So we cleared that out and reestablished the connections for me to start strengthening my own belief system. There was another link to the Wei Chi, which I don't really know how to explain without asking Kristine - maybe I'll ask her for the details and update this later.  I love my BodyTalk and Life Coaching sessions with Kristine. After every session, I feel expansive, with an inner strength and knowing that I feel carries me through plenty of questions and answers. It's also really amazing because Kristine and I are both very passionate about all of this, and even when we're not really having a session, and just out for a bite or coffee chit chatting, we're having sessions! I have an amazing time with Kristine every time I meet with her, and I learn and grow so much with every conversation. Unless we've got a scheduled session, we always spend hours without realizing where the time goes. I'd allocated about 3 hours for my last session and case study wrap up, but we ended up having a conversation (and multiple sessions) over 5 hours.

I'm grateful for her friendship as well as her support, guidance and coaching in maneuvering my internal and external world! Thanks Kris - If the world is a mirror reflection, you always help me face the truth that's harsh, but with love and compassion! :)
