Listening To Your Future and Past While Enjoying The Present

Hi All,

It is a New Year for us all, and while our hopes and expectations may be off the charts there is a certain reality for each of us in this.  Often, we get caught up in the either the past or the future, and consequently lose all sense of the present.  We lose the potential enjoyment of the here and now as well as the sense of difficulty of the here and now.  It is of vital importance to be aware of the need to prioritize our lives and environments by way of sequencing the past with the present and the present with the future.

How often do you find yourself (or someone else) say something along the lines of “I hate my job right now!”  Or, someone says “If I could only lose five pounds”  I would be so much happier.”  Of course these are important concerns for the people involved but they may be missing the point.  Their current job may have great medical and dental insurance, or the person seeking to lose some weight may need to acknowledge that although they may be unhappy with their current weight they are in great health, just unhappy with the extra pounds.

The concerns that each one of has, and I do understand that life is not as simplistic as the above analogies, however I feel that it is necessary to at least attempt to position our concerns with the “reality” of our lives.  What is your reality right now?  Are you pondering a change in employment or thinking about leaving an important relationship with someone?  What are the objectives and how do they “sequence” in your reality?  It may take some time to asses the condition of each scenario but from which direction are you referencing?

My point is this.  Although we may be unhappy with a current particular situation or circumstance how often do we employ the present with the past or the future?  It is often said that timing is everything, and although it may not quite be everything it is an indispensable perspective from which to draw from.  Life is not very pleasant when one is unhappy or unhealthy, but how often do we acknowledge our lives as being so when we are happy and or healthy?

With the beginning of a new year, the past and the future may be invaluably influential in how we perceive the in which we view our lives, but there is so much more to be said about what is transitioning in the present.  Kick it around and see where you end up it, you just might find out something worthwhile.

Aho

Yes, It Is Christmas!

Hi All,

Unless you have been in a coma you know that Christmas is only a few days away.

Anyway, here I am sitting in downtown San Luis Obispo watching all the shoppers amid the bright colors, blustery winds and leafless trees.

Then, out of nowhere a caroling quartet steps up and begins singing beautifully. It is almost like I am in the movies.

Remember that movie with what’s his name? You know, he thinks life would be better off without him? What is his name?

Hope you are all having a great day.

Aho

Seeking Change

Hi All,

No, I am not talking about the kind of change one finds in between the sofa cushions or under the car seats.  I am speaking about the change within ourselves as a species, as human beings.  I have not been around long enough to be called an Elder, but I have put my time in on this planet, and in my community to know what I believe change is.  Still, it always gives me pause for concern when I reflect on what has and has not changed over the years in my life, and yours.  I have heard wiser and older people say that change is found within one’s self, and I believe this to be true, but how does one go about this?

Some of you might say that we only really pay attention to the negative events in our lives as they stand out in such stark contrast to those that are positive and uplifting.  This may be true, but I am not certain that this is the case.  Whether the tide turns (more…)

Building Your Sacred Garden

Hi All,

If you have been reading my recent blogs you know that I recently read a book titled “Awakening To The Spirit World”, by Sandra Ingerman and Hank Wesselman.  Both Sandra and Hank are shamanic practitioners, and in their book they provide a great amount of insight into the world of shamanism.  You do not have to be a shaman or a student of shamanism to enjoy this book.  In fact you will be delighted at all the great information you will find in this book.

For many of my students and clients I try to bridge the worlds of both waking reality and non reality with grounding exercises that include breathing and visualization techniques.  For the  most part the breathing (more…)
