Children watch and copy behavior. They listen and repeat what they hear. Children learn what reactions they can get. They experiment with and discover new ways of connecting, belonging and learning in relation to their world. Children have feelings they can't put into words . . .

Wonder Sparks Fresh New Possibilities by Beverly Brunelle
What fuels or inspires you to live on the edge of what’s new? It can be called evolution, a big shift in consciousness, a reality shift, or personal growth. In any case, genuine curiosity and wonder can spark new fresh new possibilities to enrich your relationship with yourself and your loved ones.

Before my eyes opened this morning, a phrase was softly and rhythmically repeating in my awareness. It was a strong consistent effortless chant that stayed with me, and for me, throughout my morning rituals. I was eventually compelled to write it down. “ALL your Hearts are grieving as ONE.”

I slowed down. I stopped. I became very still.

I recently listened to a report on global warming as it has progressed from the 1970’s. In shock, I wept for 2 days. If we are doomed to the effects of inevitable global warming which wipes out: food sources, clean water resources, coastal communities, heightens: catastrophic weather patterns, rampant disease and fear, etc, then what truly matters in living our lives, my life, today? I even wonder what is becoming extinct in me…

Today I was on a Zoom call with 3 strangers I met in a workshop.  As we took turns sharing our personal concerns, I felt increasingly calm in my body, mind and emotions. We silently listened to each other. No one tried to fix or change anything. No one critiqued anyone. I felt safely held and deeply heard in the deep presence of each . . .

Being present, aware and curious about the subtle sensations moving through your body, and the energy fields around you, can provide resources of personal guidance, well-being and authenticity in everyday living.

Truly listening - being consciously aware of what you are thinking, saying and feeling are doorways to self-discovery, authentic presence and evolution of your self and your relations. Your personal sentences, whether repeated automatically or intentionally conceived, are requests to creation.

Have you experienced “going blank”, “trancing out”, feeling stunned or numb? Have there been times when you felt mentally stuck and saw no options? Have you ever denied your own needs for comfort, health or safety to please others or to keep yourself safe? These Checking Out behaviors may have originally formulated during your early pre-verbal stages: i.e. in the womb, infancy, or early childhood.
