<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Now, we know that these 4 letters Y O G A hold a vast amount of definitions, which at it’s most basic is union. In the Western world we may be motivated by it because we might actually practice it for union with breath, union with body and soul or union with community in a positive atmosphere. </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">When I first was exposed to yoga, before there were yoga studios, coffee shops or cell phones,</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">my friend’s motivation was as a purist from the hatha yoga tradition, in order to bring healing that he had experienced himself via yoga. He gained an immediate, strong following. He was so sincere, goofy and committed. Every class began with introducing his story of how yoga healed him, asking if anyone there had injuries and to raise your hand if you ever needed assistance. He always offered modifications.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Backstory: I am a child of the 60’s and a product of the seeds that were planted then. I grew up on the North Shore of Hawaii with weed dealing vegetarian surfer parents, I could do full lotus pose as long as I can remember - even though I am not that flexible, I still can do it now as a result. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I remember in late 80’s Germany, I went from reading pre-teen detective stories to whatever I could find of interest on my mother’s book shelf: Carlos Castaneda, Charles Bukowski, Playboy Interviews, the Mucusless Diet & Healing System (on juice fasting from 1922) and The Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga, by Swami Vishnu Devananda….I was obsessed with that book, and it planted a seed inside of me that that was the way - the secrets of life guide book. Except I never did it and I didn’t know anyone else who did any type of yoga, still, I considered it a bible. I simply had no other references. I was 15.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Fast forward to my late 20’s. I had met many a spiritual person after traveling to India at 19, including some lovely people who actually used the word ‘Namaste’ with fire in their heart and truth in their belly. Now, this was finally my chance. I could barely take a breath - it was so confronting. My impatience, my stiffness, the breathing - I could not stop the clock watching...and did I mention the breathing? It always ended in tears and I did, in fact, walk out several times, thinking, I am not putting myself through this. I continued to avoid it like the plague, although I still completely believed in it and still had it on pedestal - except myself - I put myself in the dog house and yoga far, far away in a distant land that took secret passageways to find and unlock in order to get there. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Mind you, I had undiagnosed childhood trauma and PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). I spent a decade with chronic back problems, fibromyalgia in my neck, shoulders and arms and joint pain. I hated being in my body. After several outings with energy medicine gadgets and techniques, I was actually able to clear my PTSD and release some old emotional baggage, freeing up the disc space of pain in my body. In having viewed yoga as absolute torture to me, I decided to give it another spin. This time: hot yoga. I hit all of my barriers, and moved and cried and sweat through them using internal emotional freedom technique dialogue. My pain melted away. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Newly being sold on yoga as the quintessential reluctant yogi, I got certified in Hawaii. With all of my other healing modalities I offer, this title was surely the most global and acceptable. You can get away with anything being a yoga teacher. You can share whatever you want and people will at least be a willing and captive audience for that time. That aside, I was super inspired and had super incentive to help people cure their ailments….as I had. Except: I could not find anywhere to teach. No studio returned my phone calls, nobody showed up to the public spaces I was advertising for free yoga classes - just to gain experience.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Shockingly, I did not do yoga for f o u r years after that. I had a high sensitivity to mold and not a lot of energy, yet from one day to the next, I decided to check out some alternative yoga on youtube. I really started grooving with one, it was challenging and very different and I felt AMAZING. I googled classes and found one in our nearest city, an hour away. Coincidentally, FB told me they were doing a teacher training on island at the end of the month. I was amazed, I thought the timing could not be any better and promptly signed up for a 2 day training. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Needless to say, the first thing that needed to happen is that I needed to get more experience with that style and went to the local boutique-style yoga studio, a laid back beach community with boho-chic style and a full class schedule. After 4 years of zero yoga and a 2 hour round trip travel time, I was nervous and excited to make this kind of investment in myself. A new beginning. <br /><br /> Yet upon arrival, I had the unfriendliest, most unprofessional receptionist I had ever encountered, in an Aloha-state no less, and I paid for a month of unlimited classes. Self-conscious of my physique and to be out in public again, my years having gained on me, naturally I claimed the back row of the studio. The teacher came in, a class of approx 8, did not introduce herself or acknowledge any new faces who may be new to this unique style of yoga. She performed the class, without ever lifting her head or eyes towards the students. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The music was so loud, I could not understand any directions she gave out loud and had to stand up for half of the class to see or figure out what she was even doing. I was not given any modifications or treated as a new student. No fellow practitioners ever turned their head or made eye contact. I left stunned - what had the yoga world come to? Who were they saying Namaste to at the end with their eyes closed? Who were they bowing to?</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I still felt good. I pulled myself up by my bootstraps and continued to travel to class, taking it from two different teachers. I had so many questions, yet I was never able to connect to a teacher before or after class, I still had no idea what their names were, I never received a modification and the receptionist was still so unbelievably rude as can be, every time I wanted to sign in, she told me my name was too difficult and to do it myself. <br /><br /> After 3 weeks, No smiles or aloha had been exchanged with neither a teacher nor a fellow yogi. The last week I attended, still with a wounded heart and resentment that this was the only place I could frequent, I walked in and the owner was sitting at the receptionist desk. I was relieved. Yes, as I approached, she did not greet me, she did not look up, I asked how much a single class was, she exchanged money with me without saying ‘Aloha', 'thank you', or ‘have a great class’….my blood was boiling. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">My teacher training was finally upon me and I went to the other side of the island with joi de vivre, with adventure and delight to be making this investment in myself and possibly into the future of others physical and emotional freedom that I so desired to share with folks of all shapes and sizes. I arrived frazzled, because the organization never returned my emails, I only found out the location last minute and it was very hard to locate. <br /><br />It was a $700 investment and I arrived to nobody greeting me. There were 35 women already in the midst of a class at 9 am, in the hot sun, on cement. The core of the class was in a tiny building, so I had to join the overspill out on the concrete, with nobody having any idea what posture was being taught. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The advertised celebrity teacher was not present and only one teacher, no assistants. The receptionist from my yoga studio and one of my teachers were there. Not one person made eye contact with me the entire time. I was desperate to meet other local women and teachers, yet the lack of organization, communication and each person’s perhaps lostness only created an atmosphere of isolation and separation - the opposite of what the culture of this particular yoga promotes. I did not learn how to teach this style and whether adjustments, corrections nor modifications were offered. <br /><br /> After 2 days, I still did not know my yoga teacher’s name, nor anyone else’s in the training, no new FB friends and no follow up via email from the company, nor responses to my inquiries that the training was misrepresented. After repeated emails, they only offered a $40 coupon toward their site and no explanations.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">It is safe to say that I have not taken a yoga class since then, making the 2 hour round trip and being in an asinine environment - why leave your house to practice yoga if you are only met as a ghost? I fell so hard from this experience that I am having to build a very clear and solid foundation of my own to translate the space I wish to hold for people. Yoga teachers and studio owners have got to understand that people do not just walk into their studio or class by accident - they come because they are in NEED - need of breathing, movement, connection, HELP. When we practice together, there is more accountability for actually completing a class - we are in this TOGETHER.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><i>MY CRY FOR HELP: 10 Tips to improve for a yoga revolution</i></b></span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">1. Safety first: always make your clients feel welcome. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">2. Customer service: always greet your customers. Hire a receptionist based on their smile or ability to remember names. Good customer service is the foundation for all good business</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />3. have your teachers introduce themselves and announce their class, I have often found myself in the wrong class</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">4. have your teachers ask if there are any brand new students to the studio and welcome them, offering to answer any questions after class</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />5. be extra nice to women of a certain age. They are self conscious of their bodies and made a bold choice to come and show up - encouraging body positivity is a plus<br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">6. always consider that a person is in a YOGA class because they are working on some form of stress in their live, whether it is old PTSD still stuck in their body, not being able to find a parking spot or trying to raise a puppy - this is NOT a gym!!! A yoga studio should feel more like a refuge and a temple of goodness, so please offer modifications if you see they are struggling, people get touched so little as it is, one touch of their shoulders being guided to the ground can release so much for the yogi<br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">7. Practicality: please have more than 1 spray bottle to clean mats with if you have any type of hot yoga or yoga that makes you sweat (consider at least 3 sets of paper towels and spray bottles)<br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">8. Hire a cleaner. The AC vent and ceiling fans should be free of heavy rolls of dust. Trust me, when people are laying down in sevasana, they do not want to be staring at grime </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />9. put your students on your email list, they may enjoy knowing changes to your schedule and teachers<br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">10. Say ‘thank you’ for coming when they leave - it means a lot for people to show up and I am sure it means a lot to the yoga teacher that people show up - let them know, they will be motivated to return then if they also feel appreciated</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">It is mind boggling that there is no place to actually give a poor critique online - I searched high and low for any negative feedback from previous teacher trainings. I truly can not imagine how those 2 days could have been satisfying to anyone to now be qualified to teach their yoga - it was completely irresponsible. People are most likely paid to scrub the internet for any contra. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"> The Hawaii studio has lost my business for good and they sure ain’t missing me, because they didn’t even know I was there - at least that is how they made me feel. The impact one good teacher and one good class can have on one person, can truly be life changing. Are you going to be a teacher who is inclusive of healing…or exclusive? <br /><br />Giving one genuine Namaste to a client and making them feel safe and seen, that is true responsibility in the service industry. I hold the vision of all yoga being a service to body, mind and soul and that all teachers step into their power to hold that integrity for their students. Viva la revolution! </span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBRe4A8x6VUiH1jDmqIecgxh7OKgvL8JYG6gubVCxBiSkeOhyphenhyphenpIGYk-HDPVC0sQiPVpyvurOK97jDrSOSHoN0BqGWDQCGKkLzQQelCUIW74JlfbTjcFD7G9LGLal8lvShKNrUTLB5C4bap/s1600/lidow_201732013958195-X3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBRe4A8x6VUiH1jDmqIecgxh7OKgvL8JYG6gubVCxBiSkeOhyphenhyphenpIGYk-HDPVC0sQiPVpyvurOK97jDrSOSHoN0BqGWDQCGKkLzQQelCUIW74JlfbTjcFD7G9LGLal8lvShKNrUTLB5C4bap/s400/lidow_201732013958195-X3.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>

Our mind always remains hopeful to a form of happily ever after, whether that is in a home environment, work or work out routine or a relationship that we are hanging onto for dear life because we know what the potential could be. And yet the seasons come and go and we have to adapt and bend with the winds of change. Still, the mind can never understand, yet the body knows the discomfort with our resistance and fatigue with a situation. </span></div>

When our bodies can not handle going to the same job for one more day, when our inner dialogue is so worn out by not being heard yet again by a certain someone, when things are falling apart and you simply can not hold the pieces together anymore - there comes a point where you must choose your own self respect. As scary as the unknown seems, the unknown sounds way better than what you are experiencing. </span></div>

Yet we can not move forward when we are still a victim. Rewind. Look at the steps you have taken that have brought you here. It wasn’t pretty, it was challenging and you survived it. Allow yourself to acknowledge what other opportunities, which other qualities emerged for and from you as a result of your life situation? Are you still a good person, a contributing member of society? You can do this. Even if part of us feel we have failed our own expectations of outcomes, view and accept what did unfold and the silver linings with it - what is part of you now that you did not possess before?</span><br />

I have been plucked out of the jungles of Hawaii, next to new earth pumping out of the mountain and have landed in the chilly air of Amsterdam, right on a canal. It is dead silent. There are options to go to dances, to engage, to mingle with art at museums. And yet here I stand, transfixed by this time travel into an old earth, with dark buildings across the way and heavy clouds above. </span></div>

If time is not being shared or invested in us, how do we spray our name with confidence into the space of the world, when it seems it evaporates as we attempt to make our mark and feel we are part of the game. This deep unappreciation is where I went. I turned the music up and danced and wept it out. I called on all of my ancestors, felt my mother’s and grandmother’s unappreciation and irrelevance and sent them so much appreciation. I felt so weak, such depth of failure and abandonment, I called on Mother Mary, Marilyn Monroe, Mother Theresa, Mini Mouse and every woman and archetype who has tried to make a difference - they all stood at the edge with me behind my back in this cosmic cave of despair. </span></span><br />

I made it here, I called this in, I am remarkable to have the guts to say YES to a new adventure, with no safety promised. My mouth edges easily went up as this great appreciation grew in my chest, my eyes welled like a legion of angels witnessing great courage with pride and glory - witnessing - yes, magic exists, if we can believe it, we can perceive it - and here I stood in my manifestation and took it all in with great strength.</span><br />

I felt such expansiveness at the shamanic journey that had occurred inside of me, sending all of these revelations and discovery of personal power into the canal to be sent out to all who came in contact with this water and through the ethers. Surely, I could capture this moment in a selfie - which could not touch the worlds and galaxies that felt had celestially expanded inside of myself - certainly what reflected back paled in comparison, yet I suspended judgement as I continued on my appreciation journey. With every cell, I felt: I see you, what you have created, I know what it took, what pain and discomfort, what visioning, what conviction to get here. Here you are. You did it. Bravo. </span></div>

This form of allowing yourself to see your choices objectively, just as you may be able to see the strength of all of your ancestors brave choices for new worlds, is really the last frontier of approval you really need - the literal inside joke of this divine comedy called life. </span></div>

Spring is in full expression now… and you, like Nature, are coming into bloom, too. Beginning your period, or your moon time or your blood-cycles, is a beautiful and important turning point, moving from girl to woman. Please know that I see you, I have loved you at every stage of your life and growth, and my heart is full for you as I watch you at the very start of your journey into womanhood. </span></span></div>

You, as a woman, are capable of creating life, of nurturing and growing life, and of giving birth to that life to stand on its own one day. This miracle is something we are specially designed to do, which men do not do. They have their own gifts and challenges, as they are designed to add the seed or spark also needed for new life to begin in a woman’s body. They are important for supporting the process of life that happens within the woman. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have the potential for creating new life every single month, in rhythm with the moon (moon=month), from our teens into our 40’s, 50’s or 60’s. As your body produces hormones that prepare it for growing new life and giving birth (to a baby or to other creations) it also has an effect on your inner thoughts, feelings, energies, and maybe even the way you see yourself and the world around you. As you go through various phases of your hormone cycle each month, observe and be gentle with yourself as you notice different moods, energies, needs, qualities that may arise for you. Eventually you may notice a pattern for yourself, which may help you feel more equipped and welcoming of whatever arises. If I, and more of my friends, had known this earlier, it would have given me more sense of trust, peace, and empowerment. Our hormones and bodies can sometimes feel like they are taking us for a ride, but it is in recognizing and honoring them that we come into rich and satisfying relationship with them. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Physically speaking, you body will shed blood and thicker tissues every month. This isn’t like bleeding when you cut or hurt yourself. This blood comes out more slowly, and is a sign that you are healthy, rather than hurt.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When your body, your uterus, inside your pelvis, builds up the tissue and blood to potentially nourish a baby, if a baby is not created, or the elements are not in place for it to develop and come into the world, the lining and blood are shed over a number of days. For some women, it happens over 5-8 days, for me it is usually 3-4. The shedding of this lining can be completely painless, and sometimes it can come with cramping or other discomforts. Whatever your experience is, know that what is happening is natural and good. And this blood/lining is full of rich nutrients that would have gone to nourishing a baby. Your ‘moon blood’ or menstrual blood is potent with life energy, and it is something you might consider each time you see it. Sometimes it will feel or be inconvenient or a little messier than you may at first want, but I hope you will come to really appreciate the value and sacredness of your blood, your creative fertility, and your natural ability to cleanse and shed or release what no longer serves you. (This is what your body does!)</span></span></div>

</span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dear Laura,</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The time has come! Sound the trumpets, order the prime rib, and send in the dancing girls, because you are now a WOMAN!!! Of course, there are a few more experiences that you have yet to enjoy that will bring you even closer to womanhood, but for now- this is a big one. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, in this time, it is very important for you to realize that while this process can be a bit uncomfortable, messy, awkward, and on some days kinda painful- it is still a time of great personal power. You are more powerful during this week then most other times in the month. Your emotions are so much closer to the surface, so you can tap in to their strength very easily. Hey, just ask any guy with older sisters how much power women have when they are on their moon- you will get your answer right away.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Moon power generally scares most men away. There has been a very strong movement by the patriarchy to tell women that our periods are disgusting. That we are emotional messes when that time of the month rolls around, and that we need to feel ashamed of ourselves for having a period. Not all men feel this way, but it is easy for everyone to buy in to their slick reasoning that comes packaged in the forms of perfumed plastic maxi pads and bleached tampons. Do not buy in to this. You are doing this because it is your special power. They have a reason to be afraid and to tell you not to use it to grow more deeply in to yourself.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Back in the day, as in many many moons ago, women used to go to a special cave near their villages and go bleed on the rocks there. They would hang out with whoever was around and would voluntarily go in to a contemplative state during this time. Native American traditions have very strict rules about women that are on their moon not being able to participate in ceremony, and are even encouraged to separate themselves from the family and their mates during this time. This is because it is believed that the woman's energy is too powerful and would upset the balance that is created when no one is bleeding. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If only we thought that was a great idea, right? Every month you get a lady vacation?! Sounds pretty sweet to me :) But there are a lot of ideas that make much more sense than the concepts and ways to work with this that are mainstream. Don't be afraid to seek another stream. Give em hell, Krueger! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Finally, CONGRATULATIONS! There are many more milestones to reach, and you will experience these through a loving heart and a vivacious spirit! You ain't no wallflower, honey;) You are beautyfull, inside and out! Just hang on and let go!</span></div>

You did not deserve this. You did not deserve to have taken on such a monumental dis-ease in man. Men are truly disconnected beings, and can do things that are un-Godly, without feeling what they are doing, or have done. I can not get to the source of this it seems. It was enough your dad did this, but, then Andreas, and now Noah. And with each one, you really needed something from them, you couldn't just walk away. It wasn't that easy. You needed something they had. Betrayal is all you have known. I cry for you tears that may not be quenched. I'm truly sorry. I'm truly sorry pain and suffering is all you have known. You deserve better. You deserve real love!<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The time has arrived for you to walk the path towards womanhood, and eventually to motherhood, if you choose. Grandmother Moon and Mother Earth are inviting you to go deeper into your Wisdom, your ability to feel more deeply into your body; your emotional intelligence, and to own your rite to fully feel and express yourself as the creative, inspiring, magical, passionate gift of life force energy that you are. You will flow with the blood of life, now moving out of your body monthly, readying you to create a child, cleansing and reminding you to be in respect of the power you yield as Creatrix. You are asked to practice grounding into Mother Earth, giving your overwhelm, fear, doubt and questions, as well as our gratitude for being held and supported by Her. Now, Young</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><span class="il" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Maiden</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">, the males will be more drawn to you, and you will be a source of radiant inspiration for them. Remember that your body and womb-cave are sacred, and not to be shared with just anyone. You are to call in a man that can meet you in the most respectful way, in a heart-full way and with deep care for you as a woman and Creatrix of Life! Be patient with yourself and learn the art of self-pleasuring and self-loving so that you learn how to become your beloved, and this commitment will bring to you a male that walks a similar walk who has self-honor, self-love, dignity and respect for you as Divine Feminine and radiant wholeness! Seek the counsel of your wise sisters, mothers and grandmothers. When they meet you from their womb-cave and heart, you will all learn from each other the ways of re-claiming the power of the feminine. You are a gift to this World and She embraces you with All of Her!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am so happy to hear that you have begun your moon cycle. What a beautiful gift. Yes, like many great gifts, it comes with its own challenges. Know that all of these challenges invite you to a place a really owning who you are, owning your beauty, owning your femininity, owning your power, owning your creative power. What an incredible gift it is to begin the blossoming of being a woman. Don’t worry, you won’t <i>lose </i>anything! You can still be a total tomboy. You’ll just be a more powerful tomboy, that’s all. Sweetheart, you are such a unique, sparkling gem on this planet. Your gift is your ability to be exactly what you want. This can open you to more opportunities.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bleeding every month is looked upon often as a curse. In fact, in England, girls often say, “I have the curse,” when they are bleeding. In other societies, women go off into a special communal tent or hut where they bleed together, they sing songs, they celebrate. In some of these cultures, men thought women bled for much longer than they actually did because the women just used this time to take a little holiday from the stresses of life. Your body will benefit from you using the time of your monthly cycle to take it easy. I really really support you in taking a day off school during this time if you like. Go inside, celebrate the nourishment that comes from taking care of yourself in this way.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

I love you. Please let me know any way I can serve you during this time. Let's look at some of the traditional ways women are celebrated and you can make it your own - your time to own your sovereignty. I look forward to sharing the many wonderful secrets and gifts of being a woman.</span></div>

You’re a woman now. I’m so proud of you.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: left;">
On the next first quarter Moon we will host a celebration and invite all of your family and friends. We will drum and invite your ancestors to participate in your transition to the middle phase of womanhood.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: left;">
At a separate time the women will take you to the Moon cave and teach you blood mysteries that are for our ears only. But it’s important to have the family men at your rite of passage to celebrate your growing up.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: left;">
Your body will change. Your hips will spread and your breasts will swell. This is a normal and welcome change. Don’t worry about being “fat.” You are no longer a child, and your body will develop into a woman’s shape. You will start to be treated like a woman before you are ready to be sexual like a woman, and that is OK. Your sexuality is a sacred part of you and you already possess it – you don’t have to start having sex in order to “prove it.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: left;">
Just because men will start responding to your woman’s shape, doesn’t mean you owe them anything. You are in charge of the sacred vessel of your body and you decide when and with whom you will be sexual with.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: left;">
The Moon time is a time when you release all the possibilities that have not born fruit in the previous month. It is the destruction time in the endless cycle of creation and destruction. Because of this, you must be gentle with yourself on your Moon days. Allow the unused potential of your menstrual blood to fertilize the earth as your offering. Take time off from work and time out of your day to gently release the waste products from your womb.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: left;">
Although you will not be ready for a child for many years, your menstrual blood is the monthly reminder of your power as creatrix. In your body is the power of creation. When you have a child you will be awed by this power. Your breasts are not just playthings but the source of food for future generations. Your body holds the mystery and the key to life and is more powerful than any technology invented by man.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: left;">
Women in this culture have been dominated by men for many hundreds of years. We have been told that our periods make us weak and ugly but this is a lie. We are more powerful than men and they use this lie to control us and make us doubt ourselves. We are rising in this world to restore balance and to save our Mother Earth. You are part of this change.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: left;">
Never be ashamed to be a woman. You were born at this time to walk as a woman in the world and reclaim the power of the feminine.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: left;">
With love, from your future self and the wisdom of your ancestors</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>To begin:</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">choose what size you want to do. You may want to cut your poster board in half and use only one or see how they both become different themes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Get a sharpie or pen. Set your timer for 5 min. Now write your life story on your board in 5. Just go for it and see how it comes out. (Imagine doing this every day for a week, or once per month and see how it changes!) You might want to take a picture of it. :)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next, take some paints or acrylic paint and a big brush and make a portal in the center of your page. However shape that shows up as for you (a circle? A door? A spiral? A ....?) This is your portal of what your are calling in. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then take another medium and write what you are letting go of - spell it out on the page, or say it out loud while you use colors to move across the paper, as if to transfer it there</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Set it aside and set your timer to 15 minutes. Now allow yourself (and your company) to dig into the images, magazines & calendars, pulling graphics, letters & words that appeal to you - do not use your conscious mind, allow the speed of connection to cut or tear it out and place it on a pile. It does not have to be cut perfect yet.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When picking out magazines and imagery, try not to deliberately choose things that are logically "so you" - of course if you have old calendars you love, that is a great base, and best thing would be to not really know the contents of some magazines you grab. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When your time runs out, repeat set the timer to 15 min and now go through your stack and place it on your vision board. This is where your intuitive designer comes in and lays out the pieces that actually make it onto your board. When the time is up, you can now refine the cuts to desired perfection and glue the pieces on.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is also fun to snap pics as you go along to see your process later. You may also want to keep chunks or words from your life story sticking out - you will know what is natural.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you want to fancify, add glitter glue or decorate with boarders or write extra words of inspiration</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lastly, sit back and view what vision has been created and share your translation to your friends and also listen how they interpret it. <br /><br />It is like a souvenir of that time and the next six months will unfold themes reflected in your board, so if you desire, hang it in your bedroom or closet or where you would enjoy seeing it every day</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been using this process for the last 10 years and host these in retreats with women and it is always such a blast to see what unfolds - I have had so much literal synchronicities with mine that they have been hard to let go of, they seem like maps of magic. The most vital thing is, how you feel when you see it, you want your body to relax and feel a sigh of relief or a gasp of inspiration when it reveals itself to you in the end.<br /><br />And obviously, this is just a guide, you can use this to start off with and then use your own mixed media and see that there are no limits. You can make digital collages and also use the image as your laptop screen saver so you see it every morning - for as long as it makes your happy.<br /><br />The more I have been doing art, the more painting I have added, so in my last round, half of the board was a painting, done from a Buddha I saw on Instagram and looked at on my phone for inspiration, the other half has my life story written behind it with a portal. For some reason, the imagery looks so somber to me, but also like new territory and I am so curious to see how this develops.<br /><br />I would love to see what you create! Feel free to email me an image of your board to veruschka.normandeau@gmail.com</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As 2016 is coming to a close, the days are still filled with grand surprises and multiple adventures....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have barely had the time to take stock and dream 2017 into being, still baffled about some of the intensities and miracles of this year. Here are some cohesive prompts for you to check in, take stock and sketch a desired course for this next chapter of our lives, as we like to play in our Western culture. Dec. 24 and 25th & 28th are activational days, seeding and supporting your visioning and declarations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Don't deliberate - jump in and write from your heart, not your mind.</span><br />

Here is a little story that unraveled itself once upon a time in Kauai....<br />
<br />
Sit down, pour a glass of wine, and allow yourself to be taken on a little journey to Kauai, Hawaii, onto the grounds of an 86 year old woman's home and just add my German auntie's 1950's bikini that was just handed down to me in Germany...<br />
<br />
I just heard Doreen Virtue, queen of angel tarot decks and readings, say that she was pulling from an original deck, because it had a lot of depth, rawness and authenticity in it. Lately, many bands I loved from my teens have been showing up on my radar, ie U2 and Prince giving me messages in their earliest releases....there seem to be codes in there that are now ready to activate something in me....<br />
the point is, when we are raw and unedited and DRIVEN to share a work, before it is compared to something previous, it has that wildness, that genuine art from the source in it. Not to prove anything or meet quotas, etc.<br />
<br />
This has given me confirmation and courage to share a series of selfies I took while recovering from a deep experience of unrequited love. There are photos I could pose and re-enact, but these were taken with a self timer, BECAUSE I HAD TO DO something to express my situation.<br />
<br />
Relax and press play, and see if you can find a place in yourself where this has played out. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://vimeo.com/55754125" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Representing...a slide show experience</span></a></div>
<br />
Note the last shot being of a swimming pool in the dark....I view this so symbolically as a man made womb, returning into the dark night of the soul, only to be reborn via the alchemy of art and self-expression. I made these impromptu style, with an Olympus point and shoot, and uploaded them in sequence as a slide show to music, and voila - it told ME the story once I viewed it. There are many layers there for me and it has a shamanic quality for the viewer. Imagine walking the gardens of Marilyn Monroe's home...sitting in her bedroom, looking at her swimming pool. She had it all, but she was an orphan, looking for love. The tale of the movie icon, yet in the end lonely and scared.<br />
<br />
What is interesting is that it felt like I had made a movie after. Like a door opened. 3 weeks later I met my Twin Flame and 6 mos after that I had my first iphone and instagram account. I was hooked to be able to manipulate photos right in the palm of my hand. Since this time I have been documenting my environment in Hawaii and my inner process through selfies. As much stigma as there is around this, for those of us who have identity issues, it is a wonderful way to reflect. I owe much healing to this art form in our fast-paced high-tech age.<br />

<br />
<br />
I may have been a high fashion model in my teens, but my inside did not measure up to what was happening and being offered on the outside. It has taken me decades to appreciate and share the work that I did. We are layered with so much shame, no matter how photogenic we are. Although I have more layers of fat now than ever before, I embraced it whole heartedly in these images and took the opportunity of the era to feature my body in a more acceptable way. <br />
<br />
Body image issues are an epidemic and, honestly, a complete waste of your time, but you can't get over it by force. It is my duty and inspiration to eradicate these belief systems through sharing a photo session with you for you to explore yourself in contrast and with the essence of nature.<br />
<br />
In summary, had I not had that heart break, I would not have sought out self expression. If I did not have the courage to make it public, I would not have had the courage to ask to photograph other people. As of spring 2015, I have built a portfolio out of sheer love of imagery and the beauty of people. My public service announcement is, thank pain as an impetus, and it is never too late to do what you love!<br />
<br />
As I pondered publishing this slide show called Representing, I dared myself to do a spontaneous photo shoot on my street, with chair and hat, and lo and behold, thanks to the selfie stick, I popped this out, lightly inspired by the movie Cabaret. So, here you have August 2016, age 47 and I enjoyed all parts of it! #itsnevertoolatetobecreative<br />

In my series Amplifying your Abundance, we investigate many things around our blocks and our desire for abundance. In this one part, we reminisce about our childhood idols and what they bring up in us. Right now we are at the part of our homework is to share how you feel what it would feel like to be an inspiration to others and were to find ourselves on someone's altar?</div>

Well, it was interesting to go to Pele, our live flowing lava here on Big Island of Hawai'i, at mother nature's birthing portal, and bring a gift. I picked flowers. I just cut these off and took their life. They are not even mine. I did not make this, yet I took their life to offer to Pele. They are a sacrifice. Do they enjoy this? Are they happy to be the most beautiful flower to be offered?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I know not. I felt silly and useless walking out to the flow last night. It is happening a few miles down the road from our house, yet on foot, it was still over 2 hrs to get out there on wonky, incredibly hard to walk on lava with gusty winds. I was spent. We drank a lot of water. I was looking forward to taking pics.</div>

Yet, alas, my phone just casually, without stimulation, plopped out onto the lava from hip height. And shattered the screen completely. Aaaah, bummer. Onward! <i class="_lew" title="smile emoticon"></i><i class="_lew" title="smile emoticon"></i><i class="_lew" title="smile emoticon"><i aria-hidden="true" class="_4-k1 img sp_fM-mz8spZ1b sx_5371b4" style="background-image: url("/rsrc.php/v2/yx/r/pimRBh7B6ER.png"); background-position: 0px -340px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: auto; display: inline-block; height: 16px; vertical-align: -3px; width: 16px;"></i><span aria-hidden="true" class="_4mcd" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0px;">:)</span></i></div>

At our arrival to the absolute grand opera of nature, I was wiped. I lay my offering a few feet away from her. I refuse to watch it burn in front of my eyes. It was the sentiment of I love you. Thank you for letting me be here. Respect. Even tho I feel like I stole your flowers to offer to you. I have nothing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I am here as I am. Somewhat impotent. How can I claim anything as mine to give? As special? As respect? I laid down and just crashed. I was out. Kaputt. Typical, as I fall asleep in every opera. It's too much grandeur. Yet, I love grandeur. Every time I opened my eyes, I saw the most beautiful shapes of women. The milky way was above me. Strong winds, and an occasional surprise dump of rains...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
How do I have front row seats to the most radical natural show on earth? Earth birthing itself....in forms of beauty. Lighting trees on fire like fire works. A spectacle. And yet, at the same time, I slept, like a baby, comforted by it's momma, glad to have made it home and tired after being deeply fed and nourished. The best sleepover campfire ever. Safe and warm. And I was 6 feet away from a blob of bubbling, moving lava.</div>

This morning I woke up, entirely exhausted and full. Tears streamed down my face half the day, feeling overwhelmed by the blank-slatedness the magnitude of such an experience brings.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It's beyond the mind. The mind could never understand what is happening. We went to the farmer's market, late after waking up at 11 am, as we arrived home at 3 am. Nobody is at market, it closes at noon. We order delicious potato pancakes and my favorite Polish Krishna-loving Kombucha-man spots me, and comes running, "here, my friend, this lei is for you" as he leis me with a golden marigold flower lei.....everyone watches. I said "wow, I just saw Pele all night, it was a big journey"....he continues to share with me, that they are only made for Krishna, and that he brought it from his ALTAR!!!! Now, this man, who only wears a pink shirt and serves pink drinks, I still do not know his name, has been the only person in Hawaii who has been happy to see me.....</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
What if me choosing to go out and view Pele, lie with her, sacrifice my biggest love - taking pictures on my phone - was the perfect gift to give her? Me just showing up in awe. Just because.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Too funny, when we feel down on our luck, and the whole world is against us - look to see those who DO celebrate you! How funny, that I was put on the altar at our farmer's market where I have always felt alienated and like a castaway! (let's toot some miracle bells here please!!)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
For those of us going through physical challenges, and feel we need professional help, let us examine the power of the mind. That is the work we are doing here. What will it take to have front row seats to our organic show? </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
If your body is ailing and you can not book expensive appointments, you are not meant to. You just saved money. If all thoughts and beliefs are manifested, then we can also delete and erase them. So as with the body. Considering you may have the closest up front and personal view, like no other doctor will care to ask you how you feel about your condition.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
There have been studies done, where a hypnotized person was told they are being burned by a cigarette. But really they are being touched with a pencil. Yet still they got blisters. The power of the mind.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I am here to empower you that you can tap on everything. Anything can happen. <i class="_lew" title="smile emoticon"><i aria-hidden="true" class="_4-k1 img sp_fM-mz8spZ1b sx_5371b4" style="background-image: url("/rsrc.php/v2/yx/r/pimRBh7B6ER.png"); background-position: 0px -340px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: auto; display: inline-block; height: 16px; vertical-align: -3px; width: 16px;"></i><span aria-hidden="true" class="_4mcd" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0px;">:)</span></i> I have tapped on people in a coma, during child labor, on clearing cysts and lime disease. I have seen miracles with this process. What will it take for you to make yourself important to you, before giving your power away to those who have the letter p, h and d in front of it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

<b>To clear out body or psycho-emotional stuff:</b><br />
What are you feeling physically?<br />
How does it make you feel?<br />
Love, accept & forgive yourself.<br />
Are you safe to release the feelings now?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

By tapping, our goal is to come into a state of neutrality on the issue and problem. When we accept it and our feelings about it fully, or at least set the intention, it is already out of our hands, so called. You have named it and are clearing the charge around it. This gives it room to disappear. And, that my friend, is the miracle. I have had full body staph infection disappear after getting to the root of the emotional cause.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Please do give a try on your health symptoms! I empower you! You won't believe it, but I am willing to watch you take the risk and report back! I hold the space for miracles, especially physical ones.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Let's experiment powerfully with this and take your health into your own hands.... (save money) and see that amplifying your abundance can also be used for your health.</div>

postscript: as I write this, I listened to a mainstream healing celebrity in the new age arena. I like listening to her while doing dishes. She has just had this massive break through this year and is giving some sessions on a live call. Her whole style now is the method I have been organically using the past 8 years, with Ho'o'pono'pono and inner child work. Wow, before I would feel panic and scarcity - but right now, this is not competition, it is full validation! Because this style for work is actually healing people...getting to the core, and there is no way without your inner child going with you on this journey....and only you can show up for it, you can't pay anyone else for it. </div>

It is beaten into you - verbally, emotionally, energetically, by family, culture & media. Your first innocent expressions being shut down, whether it is in your home or in the schoolyard, about body, personality or social status - we are quick learners and this shapes our future responses. Curbs our freedom to express.</span></span></div>

Yes, he cares deeply for our well-being, wants to make sure we don’t embarrass ourselves, a ridicule preventer designed to protect us. Yet, as a result, we get paralyzed with fear, experience performance anxiety and have basic deep feeling that we simply are not good enough.</span></span></div>

That reportedly shapes our little beliefs about ourselves. So much empathy and compassion for that inner child. And that inner judge remains firmly in place: “you are not good enough to charge more”, “you are not petit enough” , “you spoke out of line” , “you should not have posted that”.....and on and on. We are so comfortable and familiar with him. When we are in our power, we can laugh at that voice, but when he returns it seriously feels like the henchman. Part of us wants to annihilate him!

Feeling so abandoned and rejected, it must be me. Then I remember: I am exactly where I need to be - all these little parts of me are still mending. Truly owning: I am my healing heart. I need me to be more understanding and supportive. Right here, right now, pain and all. This old pattern of shame - who does this belong to? There is no more room in my heart for you!</span></span></div>

An inspired invitation As 2015 is coming to a close, the days are still filled with grand surprises and multiple adventures....<br />
<br />
I have barely had the time to take stock and dream 2016 into being, still baffled about some of the intensities and miracles of this year. Here are some cohesive prompts for you to check in, take stock and sketch a desired course for this next chapter of our lives, as we like to play in our Western culture. Up until January 5th is still activational energy supporting your visioning and declarations.<br />
Don't deliberate - jump in and write from your heart, not your mind.<br />

Like all indigenous peoples today, that indigenous soul of the modern person has either been banished to some far reaches of the dream world or is under direct attack by the modern mind...For there to be a world at all, every indigenous, natural thing must start singing its song, dancing its dance, moving and breathing according to its own nature, saying its name, manifesting simultaneously its secret spiritual signature.</i></span></b></div>
