Happy New Year to all!

Hey, it’s a new year and time to begin with a vision for how you would like to manifest your life this year. I always like to suggest making a list of your goals, visions, and wants by writing them down on paper or electronically. Then add in your accomplishments from last year and what you feel is going to be different about this one…..Think big, think sexy and think “Yeah, I can be, do or have THAT!” What you say to yourself is what you manifest, like it or not.

Whether or not you are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu or atheist, it’s a time when we all feel the somber strands of the shortest day of the year, this Winter Solstice 12/21/10. The Winter Solstice is not a down time, it’s a time to go within, to be solemn and quiet inside, and to notice the emergence of a new dawning within our lives.

Mirror Activity…archived 2002

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Set aside at least one hour to conduct the Mirror Activity. This self-viewing exercise is one you can do alone or with a partner. Couples sometimes discover hidden secrets about the other that they never realized were there, such as a delighting in your shoulder formation, a special mole, or a twinkle in the eyes. Use this process to learn how to accept and embrace yourself. It’s created for self-awareness (toward self-acceptance.) It’s not there to give your partner criticizing feedback, only encouragement.
