In Seattle man teaches people to run barefoot to PREVENT injuries.

This has been under the radar for awhile, but there it was in the daily paper, followed by pictures of people in Detroit replacing pavement with gardens.

What? Running without shoes and planting paradise over pavement?

Fifteen years ago, the belief to “Stop dieting, it will only make you fat!” was a little outrageous.

Now, we all know this is true, right?

Some people stopped wearing running shoes because they hurt.

Detroit is planting gardens because they are in a world of hurt.

If you hurt and weigh too much, I suggest you stop dieting.

I know the idea may be upside down thinking to you.

I work with extremely savvy people who recognize that change is an inside job.

You are not your body. (More thinking turned Upside Down!)

You are a spiritual being, and making peace with your bodysuit is PEACEFUL!

Any change in your behavior is a direct result of changing your mind!

My calling is to help you change your mind!

Christine Smith came out on the runway; savvy, heeled, sexy, and ah, so young.

Her words “It has been ten years since I was diagnosed breast cancer,” took my breath away.

”You have cancer” can create an emotional explosion so powerful, that if it were healing arsenal, it would stop cancer in its tracks.

Her experience put her on the path of creating Northwest Hope and Healing, an organization totally dedicated to helping Seattle women facing the realities of breast cancer.

 I love to witness the unexpected turned into something fabulous.

Her organization is fabulous. They create fun events. This was a fashion show. The next fun event is 5K on Alki.  Check them out and donate while you are there.    http://www.nwhopeandhealing.org/

My dance teacher says that she wakes up in the morning and checks her toes. They move and she thanks them. She reminds us that every day you can express yourself is a good day.

Go here to celebrate some feminine fun.  This page won’t be up forever.

When she came in for her first appointment, she said she wanted to wear a bra from Victoria’s Secret. This morning she emailed and said it was hanging in her bedroom. She bought it.  It fits.  And now she wants the constant reminder, ” I am now a woman who can buy and wear a bra from Victoria’s Secret”.

Sometimes, the goal is to walk in the heat of the summer without chafing your legs. After my first pregnancy, my goal was to walk up the steps without my legs touching my belly.

Maybe you want to feel at ease in group of people or during intimacy. Maybe you want to stop being afraid of what is next. Whatever it is you want to feel differently about: you also most certainly want it to happen instantly. And yet, our most delicious victories come with a little more effort.

I have noticed there is an alchemy to changing your mind. I am more relaxed about the how, and the more at ease I am, the better practitioner I become. The first step to changing your mind is for you to be honest about how you want to feel differently.

The second step is to neutralize the negative emotions.  This second step can take a month, a few minutes, or a few years. It is the most important step and it is actually a series of steps. It is like playing a game.

You progress and then something else comes up and you get past the something else, until you get closer to the red bra, or whatever it is you seek.

What is missing for so many of us, is the acknowledgment that we are emotional beings. We love logic and the “just do it” mentality. We beat ourselves up for procrastinating, not being all we can be, and so on and so on. Relying on logic without acknowledging and clearing our emotions keeps us stuck.

We carry around emotional patterns and keep acting the same screen play until we change our emotional being.

Trying to change without clearing emotions  is like planting lettuce seeds over grass. It is like trying to grow blueberries in the wrong kind of soil. It is like trying to make good pesto from bitter- old basil. It is like driving without enough air in your tires.

Once you get the soil right. Once you are open to letting go of old emotional patterns, your experience changes.

Your mind takes a positive affirmation because it can.

The blueberries are sweeter and more prolific.  Picking lettuce is easy;  you can enjoy the best pesto, and your car rolls efficiently.

I hope you can join me in Changing Your Mind.

A new approach

Some things just click.  Alone they are great, together they are fantastic.  Hypnosis and EFT, the Emotional Freedom Technique are like that.  

One practitioner called it weed whacking, and then mowing to make things smooth. My approach is bit more gentle, I think of it like pulling weeds, so you are free to grow whatever you want or need.

For the past year I have been experimenting  with the format of the Breakthrough Sessions. I like doing groups. Everyone benefits and it is cost effective. 

The last Breakthrough Session was really powerful.  I allow my intuition to start somewhere with someone. I tap on myself and the person I am working with mirrors me, while I talk. I don’t know where the words come from, but things slip out of my mouth and I just keep going. Everyone taps along. 

What I find is that the repetition puts everyone in a bit of a trance, including me, and we get results.

On Monday, we tapped on the fact that Carol had a new kitchen, a new juicer, as well as fruits and vegetables that were going to rot if she didn’t use them soon. But they were more like props for the life she wanted and couldn’t get herself to live. She said, “I don’t deserve to feel good”.

We tapped on all of the reasons why, and this came up as another aspect from being sexually abused, and then not being believed as a child. Letting go of that kind of emotion is powerful. 

As we went around the room, one person’s relief seemed to feed the fire of the next person’s ah!ah! The next participant, who has made real strides, surprised me when I saw tears streaming down her beautifully round face. She sighed and said, “I gave up on myself at eighteen years old”.
