Between Seeing

Slowing down the speed of life

I've been reminded again in the past week how important it is to find time for silence, meditation, reflection or prayer if you are going to be working as a coach or consultant.

I was talking to a client who is also a company consultant and trainer, teaching around the world. She said how she used to work full throttle up until the moment of her presentation or coaching. Working to get everything perfect. She recently decided that she wasn't going to do that any more and instead she gets to her training sites a day in advance, has a massage and spends time on quite reflection.

She says her presentations are twice as powerful since she started doing this. She also said that if you want to effect change in busy executives you are working with you must come to them with a different form of energy. If you are coming stressed out and overworked and you are wanting them to find more balance and reflection, your energy wont show them the way to find what they need.

I create my Vision Statement

Here is a my Vision Statement 2015. It is produced as though everything in it has already happened. It was a very powerful experience to create the vision statement and something I do now with all of the people I work with. I watch my vision statement many times a week and have a knowing that everything in it will become true.

VISION Statements

A friend sent me a link to You Tube to see a video put out by Malcolm Cohan this guy from Sydney, Australian. I clicked on it and was amazed. He creates these wonderful videos of people's lives. For the past 5 years I have been coaching people on creating visions for their lives and helping create Vision Stories for what they want to manifest. When I saw the VISION Statement I knew that this was a way more powerful way to help some one manifest their desires.

I've written before about The Secret and now most people know about The Law of Attraction. VISION Statements are the best way I know of to attract what you want in the world. Here is Malcolm's Video Vision for Humanity.

Why I haven't been writing

If you have been to this blog before you may be wondering why I haven't been doing many posts. Well first of all I don't have that much worth saying and don't want to bore people and myself but mostly its because I've given all of my energy to completing a website for our company Entrevis. Man it takes a lot of time to develop a website. The design, the content, the changes, the look .... it goes on and on forever. So here is my promise to me and to you my loyal reader. I'll do better in the future. How is that for a commitment.

Life Story and Healthy Kids

I was reading Brian Anderson's blog postings on Zaadz. Brain is the CEO and Zaadz purpose is defined as  "The quick version of what we're gonna do: build THE most inspired community of people in the world... Imagine social networking with a purpose, a community of seekers and conscious entrepreneurs circulating wisdom and inspiration and wealth and all that good stuff. Fun fun fun. "

The posting that caught my attention was about the book Parenting from the Inside Out. Here's what Brian had to say........

"It’s interesting b/c I actually want to write a book with my friend Dan. He’s written two: The developing Mind and Parenting from the Inside Out. (btw: the last pope read The Developing Mind and invited Dan and his family out to the Vatican for a private audience…the guy’s amazing and is currently working with the Dalai Lama and others scientifically showing how meditation actually rewires the brain…but that’s for another Note ;)

The theme of the Parenting book (which I have read most of but not completed) is simple: the better a parent knows him or herself, the better parent he/she will be. (Technically, the science of it goes something like this: the healthy attachment of a child is a strong predictor of that child’s well-being. You can predict how healthily attached a child is to a parental figure by how “coherent” that parent’s life narrative is–which basically means how well that individual has integrated their life story strongly predicts their child’s healthy or unhealthy attachment to them which highly predicts that child’s well being…powerful stuff…)"

So what does that have to do with A Better Way to Live and Work. Well, everything. What this says is that the more we have a clear life story, a clear purpose and vision for our life the healthier our relationship will be with our children.

Now, can I prove that, no. But like everything else I write I ask you does it make sense to you? It certainly makes sense to me.

The New Medicine

   

    Last week I watched a two hour special on PBS entitled "The New Medicine". It talked about how medicine is becoming more integral involving the mind, body and soul of a person. It's really not new rather it remembers the way medicine used to be practiced. I saw great similarities between what they were saying about "The New Medicine" and "The Better Way To Live and Work" program we do. The purpose of this entry is to share what they are saying and what we do in our work.
    Here are some of the things being advocated and practiced in "The New Medicine" that are all part of our program:

The Times They Are A-Changin’

    The line it is drawn
    The curse it is cast
    The slow one now                                                
    Will later be fast
    As the present now
    Will later be past

    It’s been a year since I started my blog and I want to reflect on the changes I'm seeing in that year. We are in the midst of a tremendous shift in consciousness in the United States and I see the examples of it everywhere. Although it may seem like the end, it is really the beginning of something much greater.

A Whole New Leadership

One of our Entrevis leaders did a great post on the book "A Whole New Mind" entitled "A Whole New Leadership". I thought you might want to read it.

Dreaming Ceremony

View this photo

In January, I had the opportunity to attend a dreaming ceremony with my friends Pele and FireHawk. On the final day, I wrote this poem to honor our time together.

The spirits slowly rise from the valley floor
Taking the form of a wisp of cloud
Disappearing from our site
Entering our souls
For a new day

The trees the leaves the earth
Welcome the morning sun's rays
And release the moisture
From the past day's rains
We take in the sun
And release our fears
To a power
Greater than
Ourselves

A Perfect Place to Perch

The green leaves with the yellow tint 
Gently quake with the winds that accompany the sun's rebirth
Finches flutter from branch to branch
Looking for the perfect place to perch
