A shift happens through listening and being heard

Posted on June 13, 2014 | Leave a comment

The outcome of really listening and likewise being heard, is a shift. People appear to become grounded, more calm and able to express possibly for the ﬁrst time with a sense of inner strength and autonomy.

Steps to truly hear someone for the purpose of deepening a connection

Posted on June 13, 2014 | Leave a comment

Listen with an intention to connect deeper to another – a heart connection
Regardless of the topic, observe what inner responses come up for you. Recognize these as though in a Buddhist meditation-begin to notice your responses as personal responses without judgement and go back to what words you are hearing.
Notice if you want to share your story or if you want to give advice and STOP. Simply let it go by without acting upon these urges.
If there are a lot of words coming at you, ask for a pause to try to tell back what you heard. Explain you want to hear what they are saying.
Reﬂecting back what you have heard, may create a response that takes them to another topic. This is an opportunity to track. Developing tracking skills will allow you to come back to the main trigger point in the future with more ease and not being taken down the garden path to some other situation.

Clear communication seems as elusive as the pot of gold

Posted on June 13, 2014 | Leave a comment

Speaking/listening, or a lack of it, has caused many of us a considerable amount of trouble. Clear communication seems as elusive as the pot of gold, perhaps because we were not educated in the topic as a child. As the new ‘children of light’, begin to ﬁnd themselves in positions of power, it could actually be put on the top of the school curriculum, but for now…we’re on our own ……………read more

How do you handle blocks along your path?

Posted on June 11, 2014 | Leave a comment

Do you always step aside letting others pass you?
Are you the one that blocks the path and ensures others have to step around you?
Or do you switch back and forth? First moving out of the way and then becoming the blocker?

Value of the week:

Posted on June 8, 2014 | Leave a comment

Take a moment to reflect upon walking up to your front door. In your imagination notice the environment on the walk up to your front door. As you turn the key and begin to enter notice any shifts inside. What feelings arise? Do you go from a sense of being rushed into a quieting state of peace, relaxation and groundedness? If not, why not? What is happening in your home that is not supporting you in this way?

Now imagine not having a home. What feelings come up? Do you take your home for granted? Do you have a love/hate relationships with your home?

Consider all the above and the consequences of how this may affect your health and well-being.

This weeks consideration is a value for basic survival:

getting InTouch - Value - Food

What is your relationship with food? Reflect on how you personally feel about your diet. Consider if you find the textures, colors and tastes pleasurable to your senses. If not, what might the cause be? Reflect upon whether you may be taking food for granted or if you have a deep appreciation for food.

It is only when we have an inner appreciation for our food that we will connect to giving from the heart to others with less than ourselves without guilt, shame or resentment. Renee, June ’14

“…self-knowledge through awareness is the goal of reeducation. As we become aware of what we are doing in fact, and not what we say or think we are doing, the way to improvement is wide open to us.”
