Day 0 (2009-01-29): Trust and safety

For my meditation this morning, I used a CD on attracting love that I borrowed from a friend. During the guided section, I was instructed to open a door and let in the woman I loved and who loves me. I was guided through three different situations in which she and I would experience loving [...]

Day 0 (2009-01-27): The perfect life

Last night as I was driving to my weekly Power of Now discussion group, I was feeling anxious about money. So I spoke to her:
“Money, I do trust you, and I know that you care about me. But it’s challenging to remember that and not get caught up in the uncertainty. What can I do?”
Show [...]

Day 0 (2009-01-23): Appreciating the light

This week I had two people drop out of my Peaceful Productivity Group coaching program. This was a bit discouraging because the group was already smaller than I’d envisioned. But I had an experience that cast some light on this issue and helped me turn my energy around.
My apartment is at the end of a [...]

Day 0 (2009-01-22): Strong connections

Earlier today, I had a momentary thought to check to see if there was a Thursday night yoga class at the studio I used to go to here in town. The thought was quickly forgotten.
Later around 6 PM or so, I decided I wanted to go out somewhere and do something that would make me [...]

Day 0 (2009-01-19): Feeling alive

Last night I was reading the book Callings by Gregg Levoy and came upon this quote by Joseph Campbell:
People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive…of the rapture of being alive.
This is [...]

Reflections on these past 100 Days of Peace in Relationships

This morning I encountered this quote by Ross Jeffries: “What you believe is possible for yourself, what you believe you deserve at the deepest levels determines which future you’re going to experience. And then that future reaches back through time and shapes you and molds you into being the kind of person who’s ready for [...]

Day 100 (2009-01-09): Acknowledgment

This is the final day in my 100 Days of Peace in Relationships. It was a wonderfully revealing exploration for me that looked nothing like I thought it would when I began it! I’ll reflect on it in more detail tomorrow.
Today I want to write about a dream I had last night. I was trying [...]

Day 97 (2009-01-13): Dream of fulfillment

Last night I had a dream that I was at a party (or maybe I was throwing the party), and all of my friends were arriving. As they arrived I would get very excited to see them and I’d run up to them and hug them. What I find meaningful about the dream:

In the dream, [...]

Day 96 (2009-01-12): 3 Stages of Healing after a Romantic Relationship

Tonight at PONG (my weekly Power of Now Group), I got further clarity on the 3 stages that I typically move through in my healing after a romantic relationship.
Stage 1 is when the memories are still fresh and there are lots of associations. For example, if you know someone who always wears a unique outfit, [...]

Day 95 (2009-01-11): Indiana Jones and Pina Coladas

Two surprising synchronicities:

I chose to give up alcohol for all of 2009, and just a day or two ago I was thinking about taking a vacation to someplace warm and drinking virgin Pina Coladas on the beach. Today I was in the mall with my sister and nieces and we went to the food court [...]

Day 94 (2009-01-10): Patience and faith

I realized something important about my perspective…
I was thinking back to when my last girlfriend and I started seeing each other, and what my perspective on relationships was at that time. When she first told me she was attracted to me, I told her I was attracted to her too. But, I said, my focus [...]

Day 93 (2009-01-09): I am held

I was talking to a client this morning about feeling loved and valued by the universe even when it seems that a particular person or group of people doesn’t love or value you.
And I saw an image in my mind’s eye of a mother holding a crying infant. The infant is crying because he’s hungry, [...]

Day 88 (2009-01-04): Love and relationship

Each morning when I wake up before I get out of bed, I have a prayer intention that I say:
“I choose now to consciously create my reality, a reality that is peaceful and flows with me in the present. I choose to experience grace. I choose to experience gratitude. I choose to experience wonder. I [...]

Day 87 (2009-01-03): Afraid to fail

Last night while driving to my parents, I had some time to reflect. I am so sick and tired of being afraid. Not any overwhelming kind of fear, but that low grade fear that inhibits me from taking risks and playing a bigger game in my life.
To live in fear…a kind of death. And those [...]

Day 86 (2009-01-02): Fuck it

Warning: This post contains obscenities…oops, too late.
Language is powerful and sometimes vulgarity can reveal something very important. Case in point:
This time of year, lots of people are setting lots of resolutions that they will not keep. Why? What happens to undermine a goal that seems so obviously beneficial to you at the time that you [...]
