I am tired, I have a head cold and I have forgotten to tune into my own internal landscape.
How could I have let this happen? I just gave a workshop on getting out of the intellect and back into the body to hear our authentic selves!
I actually know exactly how this happened. In the excitement I have found to share with everyone else, this brilliant information, I forgot to apply it to myself!!
It is moments like these- in the stillness of the afternoon when I sit, connect and write, that I begin listening to my authenticity.
I have not been taking this time lately because I have been too busy seeing clients and preparing a workshop that I really wanted to go well.
No point in beating myself up- move forward Naomi. Choose to do things differently based on what you just learned about outcomes of your own life. Wow, it is just that simple.
Writing for me is about connecting and just being but at the same time still being able to express to the outer world what is going on internally.
What is this need to have everything done for everyone else before I connect with myself about?
Where does this originate from? but more importantly if I had that info would that solve anything? I think not!
Maybe I just need to be aware and simply breathe into this awareness.
I just got it- writing for me is about just that, AWARENESS!
Back to this moment, breathing, connecting and creating what exactly I want for MY life. Do I want to spend all my time being busy with other people or is this simply what I am creating in my life as a diversion from myself?
When I intellectually think about writing what comes up is 'frivolous', 'wasting time', 'unproductive', and not a good 'hobby'.
Right now feeling connected, I realize writing is about speaking my inner truths so these truths may become present in my awareness. With awareness I can begin to recognize the patterns in which my body is trying to speak to me.
I feel so strongly that I am on the right path to listening to my own body and allowing others the time and the space to listen to theirs.
I slightly diverted from that path the last few weeks by becoming caught up in listening only to others and my body is now letting me know. Thanks for this genius!
My time, my body, my mind and my spirit. No body's responsibility but my own.
I have cleverly created this cold to bring all this into my awareness. Now that I have created it, it is time to listen to that awareness so my body can stop sending that message!!

Awakening to My Truth
Moment to moment the life I have begun to create for myself is calling me to awaken and stay awake.
I am beginning to see the spirit that lies within all of us, myself included, calling to be heard. There is an awakening happening within myself that allows me to see the awakening potential of this earth.
Fixing what lies on outside of myself I know now is not going to change anything. It is only when I look at the internal landscape I can see that energy vibrates at a much higher frequency for change then I had ever imagined.
A few months ago this was not my reality.
Knowing what I know now has begun to unlock the voice that has been waiting to speak a deep inner truth while inviting others to do the same.
No expectations of a specific outcome- just allowing myself and others to be and speak their truth.
A deep peaceful strength has emerged that refuses to be silenced- my body has taken a much needed lead.
Your judgements of me are not about me. I need not worry about putting myself out there because what you think of me is none of my business.
I have a voice and I choose to use it to create the invitation for others to use theirs- powerful change lies on the other side of this statement and I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface.
I choose to step into the fullness of who I am and use my voice as a platform for change.
No going back now.

Allowing the Body to Lead
I had an experience yesterday that made me stop- and NOT think.
I was working with a colleague on a workshop we have coming up and I was trying to get my 'point across' to her about the Wel-System experience. I could see that she was struggling with it intellectually so I checked in with my body and then got her to lay down. From here I delivered the material in a meditative format and I could sense that she was allowing it to process. During our discussion later she realized that when she was sitting up she felt like she was a student trying to analyze and make 'sense' of what I was saying. When she was laying down her body was metabolizing and processing the material at a cellular level. WOW!
Once again I am reminded that the body does need to lead and the intellect need not get in the way!
No wonder I have NEVER felt comfortable delivering material to people's intellect- for me now it is about allowing the body to process and then open it up to discussion about what arose for myself and others. The intellect cannot shut new ideas down when they are already rolling around in the body. Ask the question "what do I feel' not 'what do I think'!!! and the answer will come from the authentic source.
