The Power of Forgiveness, The Magic of Friendship, the Freedom to Choose!

The Power of Forgiveness, The Magic of Friendship, the Freedom to Choose

I had the opportunity of holding my last Uncharted workshop for the year in Boulder Colorado this weekend. AS the name “Uncharted” implies none of these intensives are alike the other, each one taking its cues from the participants (and Fred) and so I was thrilled to see a few people came to it for a second helping after the one we did in Canada this summer- this time with a lot of dancing in between sessions!

I was joined by integrative coach Nancy Levin, Healer Althea Gray and astrologer Debra Silverman who moved the group to deeper layers of self discovery and courage to claim their co-creative powers which is the whole point of our common mission these days.

We’re committed to empower others by example, offering navigational assistance by the stars, by the power of oracles, understanding our accountability for the commitments we make silently, and by tuning into the Invisible to claim our partnership with Spirit.

It’s all about trusting you have the capacity to call the formless into Form for the highest good. It’s all about finding the holistic approach to choose your reality, transform from the inside out and learn to love what mindfulness guru Jon Kabat-Zinn calls “full catastrophe living”.

Forgiveness is essential to set yourself free from the bondage of the past.

Deb and I have a long history of sisterhood that hasn’t always been smooth. We didn’t speak for four years after a painful riff where we both had retreated into our corners stuffed with confusion, jealousy, judgment, betrayal, denial and hurt.

Without going into too much detail, we did the hardest thing, spoke to the unspeakable, opened old wounds and reached across what may have been a permanent line in the sand. We listened to the other and really held space for the process of discovery and healing. Was it easy? No. Today we are probably in the most honest beautiful compassionate place two women could be.

We respect the other, and share a mission of service to the collective sprinkled with the best fun of insane kookiness to keep us in the joy that the world needs more of. Maybe our friendship could spread some around.

Spirit knows we all need some of that laughter.

Wouldn’t it be amazing to experience this around the world? Reaching across lines to listen to others who have different views- to be bridge builders, and maybe find that there could be common ground magically appear where our eyes could only see a dangerous chasm that instilled fear rather than compassion and love.

Maybe it’s not even about bridges but about looking deeper to the threads of our commonality that bind us invisibly where we naturally collaborate, connect, communicate and act in mutual aid.

We are, I think needed to face what is unnatural these days. Seeing the world through separation and scarcity has called that illusion of reality into form. Seeing ourselves as separate from the “other”, and Spirit somewhere “else” is also an unnatural act of blindness.

Whether we agree or not we share a deep connection to one another, to Nature, to the evolution of our species, our gorgeous planet and even beyond our universe.

When we allow courage to override our fears, then our eyes can move beyond our small self in order for the soul to show us an alternative vista. That’s when we can really get the infinite possibilities that are waiting for us to call a new world into being.

Every single one of us has access to this deep truth. We do not need to be victims of circumstance or conditions that were set in motion in the past. We are capable of dreaming a new world into being.

A future is waiting to be claimed in the here and now with every choice we make.

What an amazing time to be alive!

Debra talked about each person being like an acupuncture point on the meridians that connect the Life force of the collective whole. When we are clear, and in alignment, coherent with our hearts and Spirit magic happens. One teeny point can emanate great love and power throughout the meridians of our world.
Never underestimate your ability to bring something amazing to the game of life.

• What if you chose to be your most authentic self?
• Who would you become?
• What if you chose to release your old story of resentment and fear, free yourself from the prison of expectation?
• What if history wasn’t doomed to repeat itself?

I have a favorite three-chair exercise I take the group through in the Uncharted workshop that allows people to feel what it’s actually like to be in different states of mind and perspective. I am always thrilled to see the look on participants’ faces when I move them through three different experiential views from the perspective of the small self to the soul to the integrated empowered “future” self.

Not one person said they would choose the same path, make the same choices or take the same actions they would when their small self’s eyes were the only ones they saw through.

Once that person sat in that third chair, the first chair looked like a sorry choice.

We don’t have to be prisoners of the past.

I’ve been told lately I am getting more serious in my weekly oracle forecasts. Well, I guess things have been hitting home these days.

Transformation is after all, serious business.

That said.. I for one believe you can have fun doing it!!

So .. here is a really fun exercise we did on the weekend you can do too to bring your new self into play.

Turn on the song Happy (I like the live version) by Pharrell and dance your pants off around your house imaging you are the one you have waited for. Dance your Happy, Prosperous,

Purposeful, Creative, Juicy, Joyful, Meaningful, Life! Dance it as if it was your present reality.

Be the change and watch the miracles show up 😉
