June 2007 - Where is yor spirit leading you?

For next month:“What does your heart say?” When the hustle of the day gets crazy, if you stop to listen to what your heart says, what does it say to you? Do you have a moment when you realized your inner intuition? Share it with us, inspire others to do the same.

“Where is your spirit leading you?”

My story.

They inspired me.
I entered the gym to work out one morning and decided to do a small warm up on the elliptical trainer. Scanning across, I see all these women of different body shapes and sizes, from very fit to working on getting fit, entering into the room where they hold a bicycle class. I remember having the thought, “If they can do it, I can do it.”

They had no idea that simply by showing up for class, they inspired me to try something new! Don't you just wonder whom you have unknowingly inspired simply by showing up? Think about it. Have you ever done something and noticed out of the corner of your eye someone glance your way? Ok, so maybe they liked the color of your socks, or the twinkle in your eyes, but who knows, it may have been that something you did or said or simply by being there you may have moved someone to act when before they stood still.

Now let's take that further. On this same theme, let me share with you my personal trainer, Laura, had worked with me for 3 weeks and I was walking away with feeling that while I was working out, it somehow seemed so-so. Then Week Four arrived. I decided I was going to really test my limits, really give it my all, really, really work out (just to see how it felt,. . . somehow Laura picked up on that). I could really feel it when I left and was sore for 5 days straight afterward. What a wake-up call for myself. I was somehow on some subtle level chickening out on weeks 1-3. But when I decided to really experience “Working Out,” not just “working out,” I felt it, even if I did overdo it a wee bit.

This experience reminded me about the power of intentions and the conscious connections. Consciously deciding to really experience the workout resulted in an entirely different session. By simply showing up (step one!) and then BEING in the experience (step two!) leads you to (ready for step three?) ALLOWING you to really get the most of WHO YOU ARE. And you are pretty darn great!

What would happen if you were to “just for today” (my Reiki students know what I'm talking about) step up to the plate, experience all you could, consciously be present in who you are? Do you think you would experience your day differently? Would you experience YOURSELF differently? I did. And of course if goes beyond this dense matter of a physical body, it transforms to the mental, emotional and spiritual parts of your being.

Allow yourself to experience. And yes, by not doing anything you are also experiencing, but it sure makes for a better story and a great sense of accomplishment to know YOU DID IT. Show up for whatever it is you are drawn toward - just by doing it you may be inspiring another to try something new!

So where is my Spirit leading me? Into BEING, into my best and greatest Self. Why even today, I was able to experience myself in a great way - my upcoming CD was re-mixed into a Master Copy that I am very pleased with. So with all of this in mind, see what your heart tells you this month, write me and tell me how it's going.

Just for today, may you be guided, connected, clear and filled with the inner beauty of Love and Light.

Have a wonderful beginning of summer.
