In my coaching and mentoring with clients and students I hold the understanding of how the past influences the present and future. This is whether it is an environmental consultation Feldenkrais® Functional Integration session/lesson or Nonviolent Communication Session/Lesson. In this photo these Hen’s ‘n Chicks are from a few left at the side of the road off Beach Drive in 2000. They have become a part of the family and moved with us on 4 occasions. Imagine the connection to these garden plants that has grown into a strong bond. When it comes time to space and thin them out there is no way they go into the compost. New ways of sharing them has become a creative adventure that is satisfying. They respond by growing! Each time I observe them I have a connection through our 20 year relationship and knowledge of how they came into our garden knowing exactly where they came from. The relationship has evolved over these 20 years increasing the depth of heart connection and familiarity. The future was influenced by their connection to expanded spontaneous creativity. They have supported creative projects that where unthinkable 20 years ago. With their abundant availability the lack of my creativity turned into hesitant action that has transformed into spontaneous action. Outcome – quieter mind, deeper connection to being grounded and open to the present. What examples do you have of how the past has influenced your present and future?
Each new moon is an opportunity for a start fresh and new beginning. It’s a nightly reflection that models a pattern that we all can observe as it transforms crossing the night sky. Generations have used the moon calendar for guidance and have associated its changing reflections with different qualities. Qualities that we can now harness to break free of the old stories that may be holding us prisoner to the past. Following the 8 phases of the moon to do a personal check in can retrain our mind to respond with more flexibility and assertiveness. Making choices and taking actions will be inspired resulting in increased inner motivation.
Creating life balance consciously put’s you in the drivers seat. Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, author of Nonviolent Communication, broke down the conditions that creates a lack of power in ones world. One of these conditions is giving authority over to some unseen source. Giving one’s power away disconnects one from their inner support and experiencing joy and happiness in life itself.
This practical life exercise can be applied to personal transformation and adapted into family life, and businesses. Imagine how this template focus can cultivate a deeper connection and experience to the things that really matter. The things that bring success, joy and harmony. For example:
Living in a way that brings you joy & let your heart sing.
