In the Being, the Doing is Revealed..

Over the past two weekends it was again reinforced to me how it is in the being that the doing is revealed. How vital it is, as a woman, for my own productivity and success, to take time to sit quietly and connect within. I have had significant results from taking time to do my daily rituals and also play in my creative field.

A few Sundays ago I did my usual meditation and then spent time exploring within through soft fluid movement. The sun was streaming in the room, the door was open, and I could feel the outside sliding it’s way in. It felt nurturing and rich.

I then felt this impulse to do some free form writing and drawing (I enjoy doing Mandalas and also just free form drawing of what is coming forward from a body area). I luxuriated in my own inner reflection. I loved I had no structure to “do” anything, so there was no time limit.

I also had some major writing projects and preparations for my workshop I needed to get accomplished soon that I had been slow to start; however I knew I needed to spend time nurturing myself and listening and expressing from within.

What resulted in this personal time with myself, being present to the moment, exploring what wanted to be expressed with no agenda– was a huge burst of productivity that allowed me to get a number of things completed in very little time. No struggle, no push, no “have to”. It just rolled out of me and was so freeing that I was energized and fulfilled at the end.

I cannot stress how important it is to take this time to stop, listen, be attentive to yourself with no agenda, be your own explorer and allow the productivity to come from this place.

Let me know what you do to nurture yourself, what is your daily ritual to fill yourself up before you go out into the world of doing?

Much love,

Tarnie

Heart Openings

Last week teaching my women’s Awakening Your Feminine movement class I witnessed the women move into a truly powerful place. As we were moving the heart space the feelings of pain and release that surfaced were incredibly moving and awe inspiring. That these women were willing to go to this place, that they trusted enough to let themselves feel, and that they were willing to feel the pain, sadness, loss that was there and let it be expressed was a huge testament to their willingness to feel what was present.

It reinforced in me how important it is to take time as a woman to nurture ourselves to take time for ourselves and let ourselves FEEL. Too often we are running around taking care of business, taking care of everyone else and not taking the time to stop and be with ourselves.

I personally have known the fear of not wanting to explore what I am holding in my body, not really wanting to reach in and express it. It often felt terrifying, and the truth has always been the same, like the women in my class, once I touch the place where I am stuck, the relief is so great, and the expansion so wonderful, and the information that has come forward so informative that I wondered why I resisted for so long!

As a result of the class the women left feeling more open, inspired, expanded and certainly much more aware of their heart and what it had been holding.

Do you know what your heart is holding?

Much love to you,

Tarnie

PS: I came across this quote and wanted to share it with you.

From The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides

Clare, one of the characters is talking: “I have been reading a lot of stuff on the body, and how the body has always been associated with the feminine. So it is interesting that in Western religion, the body is always seen as sinful. You are supposed to mortify the body and transcend it. But … we have to look at the body again…”

I totally agree, healing and connection to Spirit comes through the body not from out of body experiences.

PPS: Please write a comment below, I do love to hear from you!

Daily Rituals

We all have rituals we do each day. Taking a shower as soon as we get up, reading the paper before we go to work, packing a nutritious lunch for later. Think about your rituals: are they nurturing you in some way or are they simply habits?

What I have learned is that certain rituals in my life help me thrive. For example my morning ritual, (after I have woken up and drunk something-usually apple cider vinegar in warm water) is meditating for 20-30 minutes. Other rituals I do are 30 minutes of movement in my day, an afternoon meditation/nap for 20 minutes, or taking an evening walk with my dear friend in the neighbourhood.

I know they are thriving rituals for me because when I don’t do them daily, or miss too many days, I feel out of wack and I don’t feel as good. My rituals help me find balance, release stress, get centered, and allow me to tap into what I am needing and what is going on inside of me. It even shows me where I am upset so that I can work through what is bothering me.

It really doesn’t matter what you do; but what is important is that you have a routine or practice that nurtures and sustains you.

What is a personal ritual that works for you? Please share them with me, I would love to hear what you do for yourself (and maybe get ideas for some new rituals!).

Much love and have a wonderful embodied week!

A New Beginning!

Today I am excited because it has been a long time since I have written…and there is a lot I want to share with you so I am delighted to get back to posting again.

This past month I’ve experienced an interesting transformation. It seemed to happen in three steps:

As I have been working with my own growth and development (what I also call expansion) particularly in my business, I have become aware of a contracted part of me just below my sternum, that felt tight.
As I sat with this part of me, I was aware that it was showing me how it does not want me to expand. So here is my business wanting to grow and this part was saying NO! I could feel how it is afraid of expanding because “the business will become overwhelming”, “I won’t have time for me” or being afraid it will consume me. I also became acutely aware that my expansion, growth, or change will not happen without acknowledging this part of me that felt tight.
Being with this contracted part and feeling into what it needed, what came forward for me was a “change of focus” so rather than thinking of my expansion as overwhelming, or being afraid it will consume me, I have been able to change my awareness to mean that expansion = sharing. Sharing more of who I truly am, my authentic self, the one I want people to know and respond to.

This feels good to know this and I feel more freedom inside and less tight in my sterum with this information.

What I offer to you is to take some time and check in with what it is you need right now. What are you feeling in your body? Is there a place in your body that you feel tight or contracted? Write in the comment section and let me know what you notice. I would love to hear from you!

Have a wonderful day.

Much love,

Australian Visit

Posted on June 10, 2011 by admin

Last Sunday morning, at 7 am, I arrived at Brisbane airport to the hug and tears from my Mum and brother Ross. It was so wonderful to be home. I had had a fabulous longggg ride over the ocean and was delighted to feel the wheels touch down on the Australian soil.

Since then I have been busy, so busy that I only just got to walk along the beach that I love today (Thursday). Mum and I drove down the day after I arrived to our holiday house in Yamba, and as this is a rental there are always chores to do around the place. This morning we had 3 workmen here doing different things, fixing up the place for the next run of renters. I had planned to do some writing, have some down time and some self reflection time but it has not been the case

It has also been FREEZING (today Brisbane had the coldest day since 1913)! Because our holiday house is up on the north coast of NSW and in a relatively warm sub tropical climate it is not geared for the COLD weather that has appeared, and hence there is very little heating. Tonight Mum was sitting on the couch with a scalf around her neck and a big blanket on her this evening and we had two heaters blasting out warm air.

I will be sad to leave the beach as I love it here, however am and totally ready to move onto for my next adventure! On Saturday we leave early in the morning for a 5 hour drive to Toowoomba where Mum (and my brother) lives.
