Expanding possibilities

Many of the best resolutions we could make may be to unravel some of the ways we limit ourselves and our lives.

Become as little children

Everyone knows that young children tend to have more energy than adults but they also seem to me to have a more extensive range of energy and the difference between the feel of one child’s energy compared to another child’s energy is much greater than the difference between any two adults’ energy. In other words, children are unique, multi-dimensional, big and versatile. Add in their playfulness and spontaneity and it is no wonder life was much more vivid.

If we want to manifest in physical form, we need that range and volume of energy. (more…)

Its just possible that Santa hasn’t fulfilled all your dreams. Perhaps the elves couldn’t wrap up love, freedom, ecstasy, health, world peace and a clean environment, or perhaps they knew we would enjoy and grow through co -creating (or helping to re-create) these things.

If New Year’s resolutions or traditional goal setting ideas don’t help, you might like to try a feminine alternative. All of us have some feminine traits (as well as some masculine traits), and we can all benefit from both approaches for different desires. The masculine approach makes things happen through focus, discipline, doing and control. The feminine approach is based on feeling, allowing, co-operation, incubating and joy. The difference may not be visible to outsiders but it feels different to those involved or affected. (more…)

The winter solstice honours all the seasons, including the feminine or yin darkness and internal focus of winter, anticipates and celebrates the return of the light. In honour of this, I want to celebrate some women who have matured in obscurity and emerged to offer us all new hope and inspiration.

There are a few simple and extremely effective techniques or processes that have been extremely useful to me but each only takes me so far. Eventually, we have to feel our way forward in unmapped territory without a method, treading the fine line between allowing a process to unfold and steering it.

Richard Bartlett mastered a number of healing modalities before discovering Matrix Energetics and yet, sometimes, he does not know what to do for a client. Instead of applying a technique or intention he waits for clarity on what, if anything, will actually help. This is not easy - clients expect us to do something, to know the answers, to earn our money and not waste their time - but the most effective thing can be to wait for the whatever is needed to be drawn out of us.

This is also one of the best ways to grow our skills … (more…)

A couple of tidbits from an article about neuroscience :-

1. Prozac and other treatments for depression appear to work, at least in part, by creating new brain cells. Depression and stress, on the other hand, limit the production of new brain cells and even kill old ones.
2. New brain cells are also essential to birdsong. To sing their complex melodies, male birds need new brain cells. In fact, up to 1% of the neurons in the bird’s song center are created anew, every day.

To be happy, creative, original & effective, we may also need new brain cells daily. And, rather like the chicken and the egg, when we are happy, creative, original and effective, we are almost certainly renewing our own brain cells. (more…)
