As this post is effectively words of a meditation you may enjoy listening and being guided through rather than reading. If so then jump below to the link to the podcast.

I am sharing with you a meditation of sorts. It's definitely different. And I decided to sit down today and do what I do, which is write and dictate. And then I was going to get this to be transcribed, and then I could actually make a blog post and it turned out to be more of a meditation than a writing of words.

Your Authentic Self Resume - A Reflection Practice

Shared from the recent newsletter - a reflection practice.

Traditionally we are guided and taught how to create a career resume. There are do’s and don’ts in terms of what to include, how to embellish experience, make sure the ‘right’ achievements are listed etc. The whole point being to get past the first gatekeeper of possible future employment. Practical and purposeful in the right context.

Affirming the Letting Go - An Activity

This is a short reflection for you. I was out doing some things today and thought I would share an activity suggestion. This is just me intuitively coming up with some ideas that if I were sitting with you, I might suggest, and the whole focus is again on the letting go series. But this time trying to begin to integrate and process some of the good things that we can remember from when we have let go of aspects of ourself. So have a listen. I encourage you to take up the suggestion of doing something and would love to hear from you how you go. Thanks.

Sense of Purpose - A reflection practice

Shared from the recent newsletter - a reflection practice.

For many having a sense of purpose is a way to provide direction and guidance. Books and writing abound by authors of all genres citing the power of purpose. What is interesting about the pursuit is it can become a task requiring effort for the sake of the outcome. The goal of being purposeful is superceded by the pursuit of a purpose. Subtle difference that affects us in contradictory ways.

Shifting your energy

In this post I share with you a message of encouragement. I choose to do this because so much in our world can be draining, destabilizing and frustrating. You can use any word you want to describe the gamut of human emotion that flows through us and takes us down, backwards into places that are not supportive of ourselves nor anyone else.

You know more than you think you do

You know more than you think you do.

What is knowing? Is knowing about acquiring information, retaining it and then using it? Or is knowing about more than that?

When we think we are in our head. The head is the place of processing, integrating thoughts, retrieval, consciousness, understanding. It is our uniqueness as human beings that we can be in a place of awareness within our self. The power and potential of the part of us that thinks is unlimited.

Trust your awake self

Decisions. What is your approach? Usually we are taught to make decisions based on what is presented to us. Many processes, methodologies and techniques abound. Irrespective of approach we choose, we rely a lot on others for both input and sources of information.

A decision can be easy for some and not for others. What may seem like a simple choice can for others be a representation of layers of internal dilemmas. Confusion or distraction may delay us. Time pressures may force us too quickly.

Questioning the questions - A reflection practice

As we soon turn the page to a new year it is a time to reflect and review. You may or may not be inclined to participate in such a practice. So before you are scared off with this suggestion note that this reflection practice is NOT about creating resolutions. Not at all. Instead it is about creating and pondering questions that will take you to places within that are meaningful, deep and empowering.

Aware of your awareness

Do you know what, you know? Are you aware of your awareness? Is there a way for you to see you and to know you much more than what somebody else tells you about yourself? Beyond the surface deep, within, core to who you are as a person in this world. Do you know what you know? Are you aware of your awareness? Are you in a place within you where you can see you?
