The Genius of Freshness
I woke up with the same anxious thoughts I’ve had a million times before.
Thoughts of not enough…lack…essentially FEAR.
If only I had a dollar for every one of them all of my ‘money problems’ would be solved.
But as one of my mentors reminds me…
Money isn’t the problem, you are.
And that’s the challenge of taking 100% responsibility of your life - seeing clearly the polarity of your reality each and everyday.
Balancing the fine line between ‘it’s all my fault’ and curiosity with the repressed psychological patterns rooted in fear that unconsciously desire my attention.
On my way to make celery juice (no more coffee or mushrooms for me), I found a sink full of dishes, ‘Hubby should have put away’.
I didn’t ask him out loud to put them away.
In my head, I traded doing the laundry for the dishes.
(To his credit, he was processing a stink conflict and not feeling to snazzy for the past few days, so his normal mind-reading capacities were probably awash in mucus.)
In my rageful fury of loading the dishwasher, a HEAVY enameled cast iron pot hurled to the floor - sending chards of red porcelain all over the kitchen floor.
F!!!!!!
U!!!!!
C!!!!!
K!!!!!
I released a scream at the top of my lungs as I felt a surge of adrenaline course through my body - momentarily distracting me from my myofascial pain of the day.
Adrenaline is a familiar drug of choice for my Type A/Generator/Extroverted self.
One I’m consciously breaking up with in favor of ease, joy and glory.
It still takes effort not to judge my reality as wrong or bad and right now it feels good to process it through the lens of ‘negative feedback’.
Just data that provides me with a choice of what conscious actions to take next.
A reminder of the joys of having a human body that allows my spirit experiences.
A reminder that Fear and Anger are natural energy patterns that spark our creativity impulses and allow our DNA to recode with each pivot of a better feeling thought.
After soothing my gut with 16 oz of nourishing celery juice, I walked myself directly over to my yoga mat and turned on “Advanced Extreme Chair Yoga”.
As I surrendered my body to the instructed moves I remember how good it feels to open, bend and flex into these contorted spaces and shapes.?
As the freshness of these moves reignites the aliveness of my cells my intuition comforts me.

My blood chemistry changes.
My biorhythms change.
My mood stabilizes.
My general attitude to life becomes uplifting and optimistic.
I’m engulfed with a sense of gratitude for the space of conscious awareness I’ve created for myself and my body.
This ease and flow hasn’t always been my reality.
The ability to pivot from fear/anger so quickly hasn’t always been available.
It is within this practice of mastery that my higher purpose is galvinized.
My favorite definition of purpose at the moment comes from the Gene Keys -?to be radiant for no reason other than being alive.
And I'm so grateful to study myself with such curiosity!

P.S.?If your life force remains frozen…
If you find yourself resisting new patterns of behavior…
If you’re paralyzed by the depths of your fears…
If you’ve tried everything and nothing has ‘worked’...
I can help hold a space for you and your body to go on an adventure into the greatest mystery.
Together we’ll explore -?
I believe there is a message inside of you that wants to get out.
If you don’t let it, you know you’ll die keeping it inside.
You might already recognize, a part of you has already atrophied holding it together as long as you have.
Expressing this message is part of your soul’s deepest purpose.
Now is the time.
