Reclaiming My Self: My first Radio Show!

Thursday was the launch of my new radio show with Contact Talk Radio – and what fun that was!  In the good company of Lisa, Amy and Sheila (all WEL-Systems Institute Affiliates), we began what will be (at least!) a 6 month journey of exploring how a WEL-Systems® approach can make a difference in women’s lives and accelerate evolution.

Take a moment to listen to the podcast of this first episode of Reclaiming Your Self: Women Unedited and Engaged!. You can also subscribe to the weekly podcast so that you don’t miss a thing!

Lots to pay attention to… lots of detail that I usually am oblivious to.  Simple things, like: what time is it?  How long has it been from there to here?  Whose turn is it?  What about commercials?  For those of you who know me well, you already know that details are not what I do best.   But I can tell from today that it won’t take long before I get the hang of this! It was fun, fast-paced and set the frame for future experiences that will delve deeper and go further… all of which work for me!

I’ve decided to include below some of the highlights from the front-end opening context that speaks to what the show is about.  This is a deeply meaningful experience for me, offering up the opportunity to reach women that I may well never have been able to touch without the magic of this technology.  For that, I am very grateful.

Connection is the key!  Connection to ideas and notions and intentions; and connections to the powerful truth that lies within each of us, just waiting to be given permission to lead us into the destiny of our choosing.

Connection to people… the ones we love and care about; the ones we give birth to and share our bed with; and the ones we spend our days with at work and in our communities.

But the most fundamental connection is that Connection to SElf!  We can’t connect to anyone else until we’re connected to ourselves. Without that, it’s a ‘Lights on, nobody home’ kind of moment…where we’re going through the paces but we have a sense of always just missing the mark.  Know what I mean?  RECLAIMING YOUR SELF is all about taking back that essential connection to the unique expression of ‘BEING’ that you are… and today, we begin that journey together.

In the coming weeks we’ll be exploring what that connection is all about; and how to create THAT connection with ourselves and each other.

Some of these conversations will inspire and motivate you!   Some of them will cause you to pause… and wonder… and contemplate what else awaits you in your life!  And still others may irritate you… and annoy you… and in that, become the greatest call to your own accelerated evolution!  What you hear and how you choose to engage – or not! – will always be your good choice… sourced by your own internal truth.

My producer, Rebecca, was wonderfully reassuring, leaving me to relax into trusting that I was in her very good hands.  And so it was.  I appreciate her being there and look forward to working with her in the months to come.

As the weeks go by, we’ll explore how a WEL-Systems approach is different because it’s a paradigm shift  and not just new technique in an existing paradigm.  Through conversations that touch on the things we all know only too well – family, parenting, infertility, depression, bankruptcy, health and wellness, etc. – we’ll discover different dimensions and aspects of WEL-Systems so that they can become accessible to those who are seeking… sometimes exhausted from having been doing so for so long and never finding.

The intention I carry is to create this radio show as an Open Forum experience.  Imagine!  A global Open Forum experience inviting and allowing whatever comes to pass… and knowing that through it all, we are nonetheless on a journey back to our individual Self.  Not a forum for debate, it’s a public place to draw into expression what we have for far too long held private and secret.  Over the years, I’ve discovered that there are very few thoughts that are not in the minds of the many, when they are awakened in the minds of the few.

Radio works for me!  Voice is so much faster and more penetrating than print.  And given all that is going on in the world around us,  I believe we have to get on with it – and that women are the key.

2010 is going to be a magnificent year!

A Gift to Yourself: Intimate and meaningful conversations

Happy New Year to all!

I, for one, am bursting at the seams with the sense of possibility and potential that 2010 offers us all. I know that each of us will carve out our own path as we move forward into the coming days, weeks and months, remembering that it all begins with a single breath.

The world is changing – and fast!  There are times when I feel that I have been frozen in time… that time and space have somehow collapsed that I might catch up to myself!… and that the time is ‘now’ , for so much of what has always been a ‘truth’ for me to become accessible as a much larger truth in my world.

Over my 20+ years of carving out and walking this WEL-Systems® path, I have sometimes been discouraged that others could not easily see what I see – not because what I see is ‘right’ or ‘the answer’ but because when seen by others, it has profoundly and joyfully transformed their lives!  I want lives – mine and yours – to be profoundly and joyfully lived.

Over this time, I’ve written articles and books; have blogged regularly and prolifically, and one day read this comment from a friend/client:

“As always, your message is to the point: clear, concise and caring. I note that the elements are still the same after all these years.”

Reading her words really drove home, for me, the realization that as much as the WEL-Systems material may always have been way ahead of its time, its time is NOW.  It appears that now – in the midst of recognizing that what we have always known and how we have always  sought is not working for so many of us! – there is a greater hunger to see and hear a different invitation to our own expansion… to our own evolution, accelerated!

Do I tire of repeating myself?  Absolutely.  Am I willing to continue to repeat myself if doing so will be meaningful?  Absolutely!

I’ve recently recorded more than 30 sound files on topics that are Inspirational, Motivational and Provocative.  These are short (ranging from 5 to 15 minutes) and are intended to make it easier to consider these thoughts, within yourself.  In our fast-paced world, many are drawn to the notion of listening while they do other things (e.g. fill in the blanks: get ready for work, clean out a drawer, organize papers on their desks, etc.).  In making these thoughts accessible in a simple way, it may well be that their simplicity will awaken something potent within the listener.

The first one – The Year of Practical Magic –  is now available for you to experience.

And there will be more!  For the next 10 weeks, they will be released at a rate of 3 per week (one in each of the three categories) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday until all 30 have been made public.  To be sure to have access to them all; and to locate the Archive as they are released, be sure to set up your RSS feed by visiting:   www.WEL-Systems.com/engage.  All you will have to do is click on ‘Listen‘ to find them all!

I’m mindful that over the last 20 years, the nature of the work that I do has left me noticing that the higher order thinking that it offers makes the messages as relevant and potent today as they were 20 years ago!  I believe that the time has come for its expression to be more readily heard and received by many. As we consider the undeniable changes occurring in the world, it makes sense that we would be both willing and able to seek, differently.

I ask that you consider sharing these sound files with the people in your life that you care about.  Stretch yourself a little!  Take a chance that indeed, they may be just as hungry for a new direction as you are!  Start your Great Adventure of 2010 by giving yourself the great gift of more intimate, meaningful and authentic conversations with the people in your life.  Let these short and compelling audio invitations do the ground-work that will lead to new opportunities to know and be known, to give and to receive, and to be the guideposts to new ways of thinking and being.  Does it get any better than this?

Be well… and enjoy!

Another day…

I sit here, coffee in hand, ready for my day to start.  Another full day of editing the recorded material from my last ‘Decloaking’ experience in the program room.  I expect to complete the editing and move on to track and production details by the end of this week.  But then, I said that last week – and life took a few turns of its own, redirecting and redesigning my outcomes.  I’m ok with that – it really does all unfold as it should.

So, that’s what’s in the front of my mind.  In the back of my mind, there is this strange soup swirling and bubbling about; bits and pieces of a dozen things bumping into and up against each other; strange, unrecognizable chunks forming as they coagulate into new offerings for me to ponder about : shall I taste them or not?????

These days, I draw upon ‘the old days’ when I spent much of my time entertaining and creating elegant meals to be shared with friends and family.  I am quite adept at following a recipe (even if I do allow myself a few creative moments!) and producing an excellent outcome to be enjoyed by so many.  However, my sense in this moment is one of being the concoctor (is that a word?) of some unidentified delight, fully confident of the ingredients and my ability to work with them, and yet completely unaware of what the final product will be.  I just keep tossing and stirring….

I know that the coming months will be filled with bringing some things to closure, making room for new things in 2009.  I also know that doing this leaves me with a sense of preparing in some way…. like pulling back on an elastic to build the required tension to launch and propel forward when the time is right.  This is the time of crossing the ‘T’s and dotting the ‘I’s.  Letting things go.  Disconnecting in some way to what has been that there might be momentum for what is to come.

I’m noticing things… like the increasing intensity in Gaia’s expressions (duh…. you’d have to be in a coma to miss that one!); like the frequency with which airplanes are experiencing problems; like this perpetually broadening chasm between who we are as human beings and the caricatures of being human.  It feels like a frenzy of activity without any clear sense of intention or direction.  Movement for its own sake, without any direction to shape its outcome.

And so, it’s time.  Time to get back to editing.  Time to identify all that will be complete by the end of 2008. Time to let go and marvel at Sheila and Amy and others as they decloak and choose to move forward.  Time to honor the old and let go of the old, and welcome and embrace what moves toward me.

Who knows what my future holds?  My body knows… and all I need to do is engage as it presents.

Breathing is good…
