Tapping in...

Have you connected with your inner wise woman (man) today? I often observe myself and other Divine beings all over the planet unconsciously living from the tumultuous space of “I don’t know”… riddled with fear and self-doubt, paralyzed while constantly looking outside for elusive answers that promise to provide a momentary reprieve.  It’s funny when you take a minute to step back and consider what is really happening… it’s like we’ve all bought into this big misunderstanding that we just need to learn more and then it’ll be ok… putting off living fully in this moment for another day out there in the future when we’ll finally “get it”. 

What if that day was already here? What if we had all of the inner resources we need to effectively respond to whatever situation we find ourselves in?  What if, instead of needing to find this teacher outside of ourselves, we took a moment to listen to and live from the wisdom that resides within us? It is a radical experiment that seems to buck the status quo in many ways but think of the incredible impact this could have on our lives and our planet. 

When we awaken to the wisdom of our hearts we radiate this light in all aspects of our life, and simultaneously invite others to do so as well.  We live joyfully from this place of knowing that supports us in fulfilling our unique purpose and share our gifts in a way that is truly in service to the highest good of all beings.  It isn’t something we need to “figure out” but rather something we can attune to… and courageously live from.  Have you tapped into this wellspring today?  Have you acknowledged this light in yourself and those wise beings all around you?

We’re taking the opportunity to celebrate and cultivate this “knowing” at the Wise Women Gathering in Ojai next month and would love for you to join us.  In the meantime, we invite you to take a few quiet moments right now to connect… for your own joy and well-being, and for the limitless possibility this small action could ripple into the world around you.

Playing on the Edge – Psychotic Rush or Joyful, Spiritual Adventure?

"Bliss Dancer" By: Melissa Mitschele

I’ve spent a lot of time recently reflecting on the challenges that have come up for me while starting my own business, True North Adventures.  At the moment, the one jumping up and down for my attention is the choice to accept the INVITATION to stretch out beyond my own perceived limitations and fully engage in the adventure of my life.  The concept itself sounds like a great idea, doesn’t it?  To be daring and courageous and FULLY ALIVE?  But what would I do once I actually got out there… out to the edge of all that I’ve known and felt comfortable doing before? 

I will be the first to acknowledge that engaging in life in this way does not always end up working out according to my “masterful plan.”  As I tip-toe my way out there and start to move a bit, I often find myself awkwardly attempting to hold onto old ideas or lingering doubts about what is possible for me.  It is challenging to be out there ON THE EDGE, letting go of one version of reality without allowing myself to fully jump into the next.

But then, it happens, I STEP OFF the edge of that old story and allow myself to gracefully EMBRACE the adventure before me, and WOW… talk about a radically different way to experience life!  Even though I’ve stepped out into new territory and am unsure of what the outcome will be, I’m alive and dancing; JOYFULLY FLOWING with a magical beat that is not mine to control or keep but rather to accept as an invitation to be fully present to the gift of this very precious moment. 

COME OUT AND PLAY ON YOUR EDGE… feel the wild wind in your hair and reconnect with that wise and radiant knowing that comes forward to shine when given the opportunity to break free of self-imposed limitations.   Whether it’s on the wall with me in Joshua Tree next month, or in other big or small ways… the opportunity is calling us forward.  
Are you willing to play?
