What do you Propose for 2012?

“What’s your proposal for the New Year?”

While running at White Rock Lake on Dec. 31, a man newly arrived from Mexico asked me this question.  As he shared his “proposal” for his new year in a new country I delighted in his energies of potential and possibility that presented itself.  He came from Matamoros where the drug lords are terrorizing every day life and the expansiveness of the freedom we enjoy here was pouring from him.  When we parted, I was left feeling euphoric with positive possibilities of what it might mean to “propose” to the New Year.

 

“Propose” feels so collaborative; “resolve” feels individuated.
“Propose” is full of possibilities; “resolve” seems inflexible.
“Propose” carries future potential; “resolve” holds shame of the past.

 

For Conscious Evolutionaries, the year of 2012 holds much potential for the Birth and first breath of a new humanity, our next evolutionary state.  Referred to as “Universal Humanity,” this conscious collective is characterized by collaboration, cooperation, peace, sustainability, regenerative economics, co-creativity and unity consciousness.  It is our world movement as a species to a balance of the higher vibrating states of both masculine and feminine energies combined.  We won’t magically arrive at this state all at once, but this is the year of the tipping point, the 100^th monkey effect that moves us in that direction.

“What’s your proposal for the New Year?”

I propose for myself in 2012 to be in synergistic collaboration with the energies flowing around me throughout the year; to step fully into the syntony of being an Agent of Conscious Evolution, aware of synchronicities guiding me toward others who are also resonating with this calling. Our co-creation occurs (supra-sex!) through inspired action based on the spontaneous knowing that flows from our Higher Selves.  In living from this place of our Essential Selves we support our world’s natural syntropy (vs. entropy) to occur and evolution toward the Universal Humanity happens.

My proposal is based on the “Seven S’s of Social Synergy” that I recently taught in our Conscious Evolution Circle in Austin.  Join our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ConscEvolutionary) to learn more about what we are doing in the Circle.  In the next few months our focus is around the “Winter of Wellness.”

But, you don’t have to live in Austin to participate!  You can hear inspirational wellness talks in the Wellness Summit, a FREE telesummit beginning January 9- March12 chock full of world-class pioneers such as Joan Borysenko, Dan Millman, John Gray and more!  For more info visit http://bit.ly/wowch.

 

“What’s your proposal for the New Year?”

• Sit quietly and let your awareness move inwardly.  Ask yourself, “What brings me joy?”  Make your proposal based on your deepest joy.

• Or, ask your quiet and poised mind, “What is most wanting to emerge from me in 2012?”

• Want to get better at hearing your own inner wisdom?  Try the exercises from How to Channel Your Higher Self to build your skills at receiving deep and personalized guidance.

 

Skating Through Work & Life

An ice skater, in a beautiful, flowing white, silvery, sparkly kind of outfit, moving gracefully across the ice.  That’s the image that surfaced for me when a friend asked me for a metaphor of how I wanted my December/January to feel.

An ice skater works on so many levels for me.  I’m in the midst of developing a new product I want to release in January (I’m totally excited about it!), yet there is still quite a bit of work to do.  My new product needs to look pretty, become accessible through new web pages, entered into a software program so it can be purchased, and marketed, of course.  There’s a lot of behind the scenes stuff that must happen to launch a new product.

In figure skating the “long program” is all about demonstrating the skater’s skills, grace and athleticism.  There are changes in rhythm, jumps, spins, long graceful movements and short bursts of fancy footwork, all of this while maintaining a look of grace, ease, effortlessness and balance.  It takes practice to create this sense of flow.

My practice for the past ten years has revolved around how to work in ways that don’t feel stressful, overwhelming and out of balance.  I’ve learned, and utilize, a number of tools to do this, sometimes successfully, other times not so much.  So, with this new product development I am once again focused on my “long program.”  I intend to demonstrate not only my skills for writing and coaching, but also, at working within a state of grace as I change rhythms, jump, spin and glide my way through the myriad of tasks associated with this new product while also participating in holiday cheer.

Which way is the dancer turning when you look at her?  It’s said that in whatever direction she’s turning is the side of the brain you’re using to see her.  Turning clockwise? You’re in your right brain.  Turning counter clockwise? That’s the left brain.  Can you shift your perspective and see her turning in the opposite direction? Can you change the speed of her turn?  Can you do this at will? All of these are possible!

I use her to remind myself that I can shift my perspective at any time I want to if I’m “skating” in a way that doesn’t feel good to me.  It’s my practice for creating grace, ease, effortlessness and balance.  What’s your practice?

 

Want to Create Your Own Metaphor?

• Sit quietly, close your eyes and take a few deep, centering breaths.

1. Now pose the question to your Higher Self, “What image will best serve to remind me of my deepest desires for how I want to ‘be’ as I move through these next few months?”
2. Allow the answer to float up from your depths, without forcing or trying to make it happen.
3. Be open to it showing up as an image, phrase, specific color(s), metaphor, story, archetype, or any number of ways your Higher Self can communicate with you.
4. Journal about the image you received; why is it perfect?
5. Draw the image or find a facsimile that you can post to remind yourself of your deepest desires.
6. Most of all, have FUN with this!!

 

• Here’s a resource from my friend, Renee Trudeau, about intentional living during the holidays. http://www.reneetrudeau.com/htmlemail/LifeBalanceNewsNovember2011.html

Resources to Expand Your Consciousness

I’m a “resource connector,” (read more), that’s what I do, what I’ve always done.  I believe in sharing with others tools, people, places, things, songs, video’s, books, companies, and any other thing that has grabbed my attention by its authenticity, integrity, quality and value. Whatever inspires me personally I feel compelled to share with others so that they, too, can feel inspired.

I’ve had a lot of inspiration in the area of consciousness cross my path and though I do my best to share on Facebook I’m feeling guided to put it all in one place today.  So, here’s my latest resource favorites, the things I turn to frequently to spark my own enthusiasm for expanding and growing in higher vibration/consciousness.

The Shift Network (http://bit.ly/tsnch):

Talk about leading edge consciousness for outstanding value!  Many of the programs are free and include the top names in the field of spirituality.  From personal growth to relationships to business to conscious evolution, there is so much to choose from.  Currently you can find:

Agents of Conscious Evolution (http://bit.ly/ace11ch) – 12 week training program (I attended the ACE 1 & ACE 2 classes, both outstanding, transformational inspiration to give your gifts to the metamorphosis of our world.)  This is the LAST class that Barbara Marx Hubbard will present materials in a live format!  After this, this program will be packaged as recordings.

The Enlightened Business Summit – a free 5 day telesummit with top names such as T Harv Eker & Marci Shimoff and more.  Begins 11/7.

The Shift Men’s Initiation, Soulful Women’s Certification, Peace Ambassadors Training, Wisdom of the Grandmothers, Manifesting through Chakras, even a course in Healing Through Laughter.  See the main website for more information.

I’ve found this organization delivers access to top names, high quality programming, and supports your learning through a variety of tools such as community building, meditation, additional handouts, and resource libraries.

The Consciousness Playground with Wendy Down (http://bit.ly/chcpg):

I first met Wendy when I purchased my WaveMaker in 2003 and began this journey of consciousness expansion.  She’s been my mentor ever since. Wendy always pushes the boundaries for the next potential to explore of knowing ourselves as Pure Consciousness playing with physical form.  Though she dances on the edge of what’s “believable,” the tools and practices she shares are easily applied in your everyday life, even as the results can feel quite magical!  How does she do that?

Additionally, her playground includes a robust, communicative, international membership group that generously shares resources and experiences.  Continuous expansion happens here!

Up next – Beyond Needing Healing: Let the Era of Quantum Health Care be born in YOU!

 

TUT’s Adventure Club with Mike Dooley (http://bit.ly/chtut)

My all time favorite free resource, “Notes from the Universe,” are humorous bits of new thought wisdom that invariably carry the absolute PERFECT reminder for my day.  Here’s one I recently received:

Every fortune, gold medal, and trophy…

Every comeback, triumph, and celebration…

And every kiss, hug, and hand held, Celeste…

Were first a thought, a whisper, or a dream.

Go, Celeste, go!

    The Universe

Powerful, humorous & transformative workshops; books, video’s, CD’s; African adventures, you can not go wrong with anything you choose to do with Mike.

 

Voice for Love with DavidPaul and Candace Doyle (http://bit.ly/vfl1ch):

Clicking on the link above takes you to a series of 4 free videos that teach you the process of receiving God’s guidance in your life.  From watching these videos you can shift out of fear and anxiety into a state of peace and joy, not only from what DavidPaul teaches, but also in the way he models this state for you.

I read DavidPaul & Candace’s book, The Voice for Love, many years ago when the word “God” carried uncomfortable baggage for me. This book was one of the ways I moved beyond my childhood version of “God” to the more expansive version of One energy, Source, Love, Higher Consciousness, that I hold now and feel grateful for this intervention in my life.

 

And for those who want “Edgy:”

Alchemy Wisdom (http://bit.ly/chalwis):  I met Jaden Rose at a Matrix Energetics workshop.  She was a facilitator, but still relatively shy about her metaphysical skills.  Since that time she has “come out of the closet” and shares her “downloads” of “Holographic Healing” with 1000’s at a time in teleconferences.  Be prepared to have a definite experience of energy and expansion when you participate!

Crimson Circle (http://bit.ly/chcrmcl):  These are the channeled works of Geoffrey Hopper speaking as Tobias and Adamus St. Germain. The “channels” are frequently delivered with humor and in a way that makes the metaphysical understandable.  The energy of these works is characterized in this statement pulled from their website.

“[People who listen to these channels] are humans who have realized their own divinity and strive to embody it in their lives by being conscious creators and integrating all aspects of themselves.”

 

In full transparency, I am an affiliate for each of these resources.  Being an affiliate is one way that supports my ability to be a resource-connector, have the time to write these articles and follow the inspiration of my heart’s vocational arousal.  I also am an avid and frequent consumer of each of these resources and they have each had a significant impact on my life.  May you gain from them as well.

Cosmosgenesis, I AM the Story of Conscious Evolution

Be Still.

I received this in a meditation last week when I asked, “What is most wanting to emerge from me?”

Be Still and you will Know.

And now I Know.

I just returned from sitting with a group (always so powerful to synchronize energies with others) whose intention is to sit in the middle of the city for 40 minutes of silence and then to share about that experience.  The first thing I experienced was a deep appreciation for the luxury of having 40 minutes of stillness ahead of me.  It felt very expansive, so much so that the loud noises of traffic, trains, horns, and people moving around us became part of that expansiveness, included and welcomed in that expansiveness.  That was cool.

But the coolest thing was as my inner stillness deepened even as it juxtaposed to the loud hum of the city, I felt the story of “cosmogenesis” become me or, I guess, I became it, I AM it.

In the Conscious Evolution Circles we teach the “Three C’s of Conscious Evolution” based on the works of Barbara Marx Hubbard.  The first “C” is “cosmogenesis,” the story of evolution over the past 13+ billion years.  This is the story that out of nothingness consciousness (God, Source Energy, Nature, Universal Love) occurred.  From that moment forward, the natural process of consciousness was to evolve by quantum leaps, always to higher consciousness, more complexity, greater freedom.  From no-thing, to a the universe, to an earth, to life, to animal life and then human life, the inner impulse of consciousness is to continuously seek higher consciousness, more complexity, greater freedom.

In this moment of sitting, I felt the non-dual state of being formless and the timelessness of the beginning of consciousness TOGETHER WITH the impulse to evolve to higher consciousness that is encoded into our DNA.  I felt myself TO BE the successful evolution of these 13+ billion years of evolution still excited and motivated to seek higher consciousness, more complexity and greater freedom.  The vast awakening that is occurring throughout our world is the turning on of this DNA encoded switch that NOW is the time for our next evolutionary leap.

What are the possibilities for that leap?  Saturday, October 15, you have an extraordinary opportunity to hear 14 leading Conscious Evolutionaries talk about their vision of what’s possible in this unique time of planetary transformation.

BIRTH 2012 Convergence Day!

and others form the “Welcoming Committee” to our Birthing of Universal Humanity

Live Virtual Event, 12:00 – 2:00 Pacific Time

Register Here

 

 

Even if you can’t attend live, register anyway to receive the recording of this extraordinary gathering of visionaries creating intentionality around global change.  Most important of all is that YOU are invited to give your own unique gifts to this co-creative planetary shift.  Are you game?

 

How to Feel the Story of Cosmogenesis within Yourself:

1. Begin by connecting deeply with your Essence, who you really are.  (Listen to a guided way to do this on my Higher Consciousness Coaching page.)
2. Observe first the field of energy that is you that is timeless, formless, peaceful and infinite, yourself as pure awareness.  Soak in this state for as long as you wish, it is delicious.
3. When you are ready, allow this request to sit in your heart space, “Show me what the evolutionary impulse feels, looks, sounds like in me.”
4. Observe any thoughts, feelings, images, colors, sounds, “downloads,” or impressions that surface within you.  Notice the sensations in your body as you do this.  You are in touch with the DNA of cosmogenesis!
5. Write about your experience in your journal to anchor this awareness.

 

Definition of Conscious Evolution Continued

In my last blog I began to clarify, and also personalize, some meanings of “conscious evolution.” Here is the continuation of the definitions  we are using as we embark on building a Conscious Evolutionary Circle group in Austin (based on the works of Barbara Marx Hubbard).

• Conscious Evolution enables us to use our creative power to envision and create images of possibilities, and then bring those images to life by design.

Most readers of this blog are well aware of the Law of Attraction, the belief that we co-create our lives through the vibrational alignment of our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and ideas.  (See Abraham-Hicks’ books for more information.)

Conscious Evolutionaries recognize the exponential effects of group co-creation and seek out collaborative opportunities to stimulate evolutionary visions.

I’ve played a lot with group synergies, but usually in the context of personal growth.  However, I feel a distinct pull to grow beyond my own spiritual inner aspirations and begin to live more consciously as a global citizen.  I don’t really know yet all of the ways that I can contribute to the transformation of our world – that thought can even feel overwhelming – but I do know its important for me to follow this urge of deep resonance.

Are you also feeling the call to play a role in our world’s transformation, but have no idea what or how to do that?  See some ideas below.

• At its core, Conscious Evolution is a spiritually motivated endeavor affirming that humans are co-creators with Spirit, nature and universal design.

Through the 13+ billion years since the “big bang”, the natural process of evolution is actually non-linear and occurred through quantum leaps, each time to a state of more complex and higher consciousness.  This transitional period we are now in is a natural phase change from self, separated-consciousness to a universal whole system-consciousness.

Conscious Evolutionaries recognize a primary foundation of embodying “oneness” is to fully allow their Essence to incarnate in the physical body, taking dominion over the many faces of Ego (read more) thus working in synchronous partnership with higher states of consciousness (Spirit, nature, universal design).

Living from Essence is to know the difference between your Higher Mind (Higher Self) and the many voices of your Ego. The primary way I distinguish is by how the guidance feels.   Feels good, beautiful and/or true?  Must be Essence.  Feels bad, judgmental or confusingly false? More likely Ego, which is all about holding me in a separated state.

You can listen to a free recording of exercise developed to help you Feel Your Essence on my Coaching page.  The more often you connect with your Essence, the more you recognize when you are living from Essence and when you are not.

• Conscious Evolution is the emergence of a universal humanity capable of guiding its own evolution into a future of unimaginable co-creativity.

We are a product of 13+ billion years of successful evolution and we carry this history of evolutionary success in our very DNA. Millions of people at this specific time in our planet’s life are awakening to a deeper truth about who they really are and their purpose for being here at this time.

Conscious Evolutionaries feel this deeper truth as the very impulse of evolution giving rise to an “ecstatic urgency” (Andrew Cohen) to form social systems that are cooperative, collaborative, creative, synergistic and peaceful.  These are the attributes of a “universal humanity.”

I am practicing a meditation that is focused on feeling this impulse of evolution rising in me.  It is this very “ecstatic urge”  that is compelling me to reach out to others to form community around these ideas of Conscious Evolution.

Are you resonating with the beliefs of a Conscious Evolutionary?  Join a Conscious Evolutionary Circle! I can help you locate one if you contact me.

In Austin, the Conscious Evolutionary Circle meets the 1^st and 3^rd Wednesdays of the month, 7:00 – 8:30 pm, by donation, at World Spirit Books, 1006 South Lamar.

FREE Introductory Circle this Wednesday, September 28, 7:00 pm.

Practicing Conscious Evolution in Your Own Life:

• Develop your “evolutionary eyes” by noticing challenges in your life as evolutionary drivers.  When something is coming up differently than you want ask yourself, “What is wanting to evolve in me and emerge as new and innovative?

• Develop your “evolutionary voice” by initiating evolutionary conversations about your dreams and visions for the planet for the shifts you want to see.  Find others who are willing to create a field of hope and possibility for our planet.

• Develop your “evolutionary ears” by listening for opportunities to work collaboratively and creatively with others who inspire you with positive solutions to local challenges.

• Develop your “evolutionary impulse” by becoming a social Agent of Conscious Evolution either by joining the Barbara Marx Hubbard program, joining a Conscious Evolutionary Circle, or by starting one of your own!

What Does Conscious Evolution Mean?

In preparation for the new Conscious Evolutionary Circles that begin this month (details below) I developed a handout to create clarity around the definition of “conscious evolution.” In collaboration with my ACE (read more) partner Randy Fenton, we synthesized the materials from our course and came up with some definitions below.  My exploration today is to personalize these definitions as a way to understand where I stand in my daily life in relationship to Conscious Evolution.

1. Conscious Evolution takes place when we intend to grow in consciousness and use our increasing awareness to guide our actions and achieve a positive future.

In my 40’s I began to seek spiritual awareness, discovered “energy” in 2004 with the purchase of a WaveMaker, which then precipitated a consciousness awakening.  I’ve continued on this path of conscious expansion (a great resource is the Consciousness Playground), even writing a book on how to use this awareness as a guide.  My next growth phase is to move from individual evolution to planetary evolution.

What are your intentions for Conscious Evolution?

2. Conscious Evolution is a process by which we can individually and collectively take responsibility for our future by taking purposeful action.

“The outward movement into form does not express itself with equal intensity in all people.” (Eckhart Tolle)

Your “purposeful action” may look like dedicated recycling, causal philanthropy, or even a daily focus on maintaining a state of inner peace.  Frequency-holders “are here to generate consciousness through the activities of daily life, through their interactions with others as well as through ‘just being.’  They affect the world much more deeply than is visible on the surface of their lives. “ Eckhart Tolle is saying you still affect the “collective consciousness” even as you focus as an individual and that you play a critical role in conscious evolution.

Still others “feel a strong urge to build, create, become involved, achieve, make an impact upon the world.” (Eckhart Tolle)  If this is you, then your time is NOW to become involved with the evolution of our planet.  We are in the midst of a shift that is still undecided.  Yet, as self-aware species, we have the opportunity, for the first time in evolution, to change by choice rather than by chance, to break through rather than to break down.  Be-causal be-cause you can! The world is ripe for your investment of time and energy.

These are the first two of five definitions from our handout.  For now, contemplate for yourself where you stand in your own conscious evolution and your relationship to the conscious evolution of our planet.

What are your personal definitions of conscious evolution?

What purposeful actions are you feeling called to take?

All over the globe, Agents of Conscious Evolution are creating Evolutionary Circles.  Look for one in your community!  Here is one for Austin, Texas residents.

Central Austin Conscious Evolutionary Circle – Introductory Circles (no charge)

Wednesday, September 21 and/or 28, 7:00 – 8:30 pm

Whole Spirit Books, 1006 South Lamar Blvd.

Are You a Conscious Evolutionary?

Here are some beliefs that Conscious Evolutionaries hold and live by.

• Our world crises are the evolutionary drivers to quantum leaps in creative & innovative solutions.

• As self-aware species we can choose to change by choice rather than chance, to break through rather than breakdown.

• Large-scale potentials exist for wide-scale global cooperation, innovation, sustainability and peace.

• There are many paths to planetary transformation, each of us with a unique gift to support the evolutionary shift that is in the making.

Essence Takes Dominion Over Ego

In meditation one morning recently I was led down a ladder into a cave and met by a toucan type bird flying with his mouth wide open. Garbage was rushing into his mouth. “Is that what I do? Take in a lot of crap?” I asked. My Higher Self answered with a vision.

Then I was eye level with 1000’s of ants scurrying all around. “This is like the world, lots of minutia, lots of activity. Learn how to observe it, but not be of it. There is going to be more of this than ever before. Stand up and look from this vantage point and observe the hectic movement. Feel the difference of standing peacefully amongst all of that activity. When you observe from here you can see where to step outside the path of the ants. Learn to step around the ant beds [just as you do in your world now].”

This meditation dovetails with a primary practice we are playing with in the summer session of the ACE Training. Through the teachings of Barbara Marx Hubbard and the meditations of her sister, Patricia Ellsberg, we are completely focused on moving from Ego to Essence in our daily lives.

One of the deepening practices is to ask Essence, while in meditative communion with her, to take dominion over all “local selves,” the term used to describe the many faces of Ego. This step is about incarnating Essence, creating a union of my body/mind with my Higher Self to live as one, a non-dual being, a Universal being. Essence feels expansive and has a broad observation vantage point, much like standing up among the ants. When Essence has dominion, local selves/ego actually relax, letting go of the need to have to be in control, in a hurry to get things done. This state allows Essence/Higher Self and Ego to work together as one, to take action from a higher vibratory state leading to syntony, or attunement, with your deeper life purpose.

Conscious Evolutionary Circles to begin in Austin on Wednesday, September 21, 7:00 pm at World Spirit Books, 1006 South Lamar Blvd.  Watch Channel Your Higher Self facebook page for more details or visit the event page.

Practices to Allow Your Essence to Take Dominion:

• Learn first how to be in communion with your Essence/Higher Self. Use the coupon code PRINT for 50% discount for the print version of How To Channel Your Higher Self.

• While fully aligned with your Higher Self, ask that your local selves allow your Essence to have complete dominion of your body/mind. Allow any local selves to “discuss” their fears with Essence about what it means to give up control. Your Essence lovingly assuages any fears.

• Once in dominion, allow Essence/Higher Self to guide, nurture and collaborate with local selves, taking inspired actions that flow from the connection to the Higher Mind/Noosphere.

Inspired to Passion

Who inspires you? Last night my ears perked up when I heard Diana Nyad’s name mentioned on the news about her upcoming swim from Cuba to Florida.  Diana was one of my first mentors for physical fitness as a lifestyle.  Her book, Basic Training for Women, was written in such an inspirational, motivational and personal way that I found myself thinking of Diana almost as a personal friend.  This was 30 years ago!  I think my desire to be in partnership with my body - to honor it, respect it, to find joy in moving it, to feed it well, to learn from it – can be traced back to Diana’s motivational reverence for the mind/body/life connection.

So here I am 30 years later inspired once again by Diana’s persistence to live out a dream. She attempted to swim from Cuba to Florida in 1978, and also intended to complete this swim last summer in celebration of turning 60.  In both cases, weather, something beyond her control, stopped her.  Diana is once again on the brink of realizing this dream.

One of my primary intentions while participating in the Youthening Program (energy downloads channeled through Wendy Down) is to feel the passion of my younger self, the me who believes she is here to make a difference in this world. Listen to Diana as she also steps into the passion of daring to follow through on an earlier dream, to feel herself as the collective energy of her aging cohort who are unwilling to be defined by conditioned beliefs about aging.

THIS is the time in our world to step fully into your passion, giving your gifts to the world.  My passion is being stimulated around consciousness transformation.  I just found out this week I have a place to begin leading Consciousness Evolution circles!  More about that in August, but for now, if the idea of playing a role and giving your gifts to our planet’s evolution is tapping you on the shoulder, I encourage you to attend or listen to the recording of the Activation Call led by Barbara Marx Hubbard this Saturday, July 23.  Or, become an Agent of Consciousness Evolution (read more) and join me in creating your own local evolutionary circle.

Kids Learn to Create an Awesome Life

This summer my gym (Castle Hill Fitness) is assisting with Project Healthy America, an organization focused “to improve the health and wellness of the community and diminish economic disparities, starting with the youth.”  Trainers are volunteering to teach sessions for the kids, age 10 – 17.  I volunteered to provide a “life coaching” lesson instead of something physical.

If you are working with children this summer, either your own or with groups, you are welcome to use any or all of this lesson plan to help teach kids about their ability to co-create their lives. I’m sharing the outline of this as my way of saying “thank you” to those of you who are supporting our newest cosmic citizens to live their lives remembering who they really are, powerful co-creators of our universe.

Lesson Plan:  How to Create An Awesome Life

Objective:  Experientially teach simple tools for understanding our personal capacity to impact our own life.

I Create Your Compass/GPS

A.    Use a paper plate to draw circle in the middle & 4 lines drawn to the outside edge

B.    Label one line for each letter “L” “I” “F” “E”

C.   Discussion points:

1.    GPS helps to keep us on course for where we want to go.

2.    If you get off track, the GPS can always help you get started again, no matter where you are.

II            L = LOVE what you want

A.    Focus on the things you love to do, have and BE to create your awesome life.

B.    Group activity:

1.    Person A with ball in their hand says, “In my Awesome Life I love to _________” and then runs to the other side of the room.

2.    Anyone who also loves that thing moves to the other side with him/her.

3.    Person A throws ball to someone else (either on the same side of the room or opposite, it doesn’t matter).

4.    Person B now says, “In my Awesome Life I Love to ________ “ and from wherever they are in the room, he/she runs to the other side.  Other kids who also love that thing move to the same side of the room, and if they don’t love the same thing, they move to whatever side is opposite.

5.    Person B throws the ball to another person and it continues.

6.    Look for responses that include doing (action), having (things) AND Being (states of being/emotions).  After a bit, prompt any area that is not showing up (probably “being”).  Continue until you have a good mix.

C.   Have each person write one thing they “love” that he/she wants more of in life on the compass in the “L” space.

D.   The “SECRET KEY” to this tool: You get more of what you focus on.

III            I = Imagine the end result

A.    Imagination is an awesome tool for creating focus on the “stuff” you want.

B.    Imagine:

1.    “What your life would look like if you had ‘more than enough’ of what you wrote under ‘L’”  (You could also “act” this out!)

2.    What’s different in your life?

3.    Draw or write what’s the best part of the change.

C.   The “SECRET KEY” to this tool:  Using your imagination makes you feel better.

IV            F = Feel as though it is already so

A.    Continue to imagine the end result, what feelings/emotions are present?

1.    Stand up and act out the feelings/emotions without using words and notice how they feel in your body.

2.    Which emotions feel good in your body?

3.    Which emotions feel contracted/tight?

B.    The “SECRET KEY” to this tool:  When your whole body feels in flow, then you know where to go.

C.   Write word or phrase or image on compass about feeling state that felt the best.

V            E = Engage with your life

A.    Engaging your Natural Gifts & Actions Generates Energy

B.    Focus on using your natural gifts as you take inspired (feeling state) action.

1.    What are natural gifts?

2.    Write on compass.

C.   Discuss how trying to “figure out” or “force something” stops momentum.

D.   The “SECRET KEY” to this tool:  Using your natural gifts to take action generates energy/momentum to attract more of what you want.

Updates and other resources:

• Want to play an integral role in the transformation of consciousness on our planet?  The second ACE (Agent of Consciousness Evolution) program begins July 26.  I highly recommend this course!  It is loaded with passion for following your inner evolutionary impulse, calling you into creative and innovative involvement with a community of like minded global citizens.

• Watch my Facebook page on July 12 for a new book about accessing your feminine power and some great bonus offers with it.

Are You Responding to Your Evolutionary Impulse?

My deepest desire is to live the continuous experience of BEING pure awareness, living from my essence, fully engaged in the is-ness (read more) of each moment as it unfolds gracefully, guided by the joy, excitement and evolutionary impulse of the proceeding moment.

This past weekend I treated myself to the luxury of a five-hour retreat devoted to being fully present to what is bubbling inside of me and allowing that to flow out through my writing. (Check out Carolyn Scarborough, Backyard Pearls for info on her fall retreat!).  What flowed from me was an amazing validation of the work I’ve been doing with the ACE training.  In the desire statement above you can see these foundations of being an Agent for Consciousness Evolution unfolding through me:

1. Feel the impulse of billions of years of consciousness evolution rising up through my very core creating a powerful pull to step fully into my evolutionary purpose.
2. Follow my “compass of joy” to recognize my path.
3. Through this joy-path, allow my unique strengths and gifts to surface.
4. Giving rise to my gifts brings me into alignment with my essence, pure awareness, my deep authentic power (read more).
   
5. From authentic power I access “vocational arousal” (love that term!) to share my gifts for the evolution and transformation of our planet.
6. Utilize my arousal to be a resource provider (read more) who facilitates the awakening and inspiration for others to step fully into their evolutionary impulse.

Do you also feel your evolutionary impulse when you read these steps? I urge you to join the Activation Call TODAY to become a player in the Birth 2012 experience.  Listen to Barbara Marx Hubbard (evolutionary), Lynne Twist (soul of money), Neale Donald Walsh (spiritual), Jack Canfield (collective consciousness) and Dorothy Maver (peace movement) as they share their visions for bringing together the energy of over 2 BILLION people in December 2012 to collectively align with the highest expression of consciousness transformation for our planet. WOW!  This (FREE) call is an incredible blending of the science behind the spiritual transformation taking place on our planet. Prepare to be inspired to be more of what you came here to be! You can receive a recording of this call if you are reading this after June 22.

My intent is to form Consciousness Evolutionary Circles beginning in July.  Watch this space, or add your name to my mailing list, to receive more information about these.  Here is a video of Christine, one of my ACE partners, sharing an evolutionary conversation with friends.

Ideas for You to Step More Fully into Your Evolutionary Impulse:

• Activate your inspiration by listening to the Birth 2012 Activation Call.  Even if you are not called forth to be a part of this particular program, you will stimulate the synchronicities (read more) of the Universe to attract to you the path that is resonant for you.
• Every day experiment with sitting quietly before beginning a task and placing the question, “What is most wanting to joyfully emerge from me in this moment?”  From a poised mind, allow the answer to bubble forth and observe what shows up.  Take action from this deeper knowing.
• Sign up for the newly upgraded 8 Awesome Ways to Know You’ve Opened Your Channel (upper right side panel on this page) to learn and practice new tools for recognizing the inner guidance that is flowing to you in each moment from your Higher Self.
