March 2009


 

I know it’s all about living in the moment, but I can’t resist the urge to look ahead to the next couple of months. For starters, in April Chi For Yourself gets a “house call” from Dr. Bernie Siegel. The good doctor will talk about his latest book, and spin his mixture of humor and calming influence to reassure us during a stressful time.

I’m also working to land a guest who is a world renowned voice in an area that has become a sort of “pet subject” of mine. More on that later..

Speaking of stressful times, I trust you’re keeping your thoughts focused on abundance and away from fear and scarcity. I know, I know..jobs are disappearing and forclosures are nearing and….just remember something that I’ve been told a number of times over the years- ‘where attention goes, energy flows’!

As a PS to these comments I leave a portion of a verse from the Tao Te Ching…hint- it’s directed toward Washington DC..

The TAO TE-CHING of Lao-Tse based on the translation of James Legge.

Adapted and Abridged

Chapter 66

The wise ruler is like a river
Flowing through a valley
Fed by many mountain streams
By receiving all that is higher
The river like a wise ruler assumes the lower place

And so the people feel no weight upon them
The ruler is the ruler
Yet injures none

Such a leader is exalted in the world    (italics mine)

The interview with Deborah Shea is up and running. You’ll find it on the website’s “audio” page. Deborah made an effective presentation at the Learning Light Foundation, and she stayed on afterward for consultations with audience members. Her website and phone number are listed on the audio page, and if you’re in Southern California know that she’s based in Corona del Mar.

Now, I don’t want to rant, but….I’m in the middle of a home re-finance and I admit I’m feeling a little stressed-out. My lender is professional, even friendly! But, methinks the old tandem of fear and scarcity are trying to muscle in and gain control, kinda’ like they did in my younger years. But, don’t worry kids- I’ll have those two scoundrels on the run in no time, right??

Enjoy your weekend..

Peace,
G

The month of March couldn’t have begun with a prettier day! And it’s been a few days, pretty and otherwise, since we’ve met up on these pages. Mea culpa..I’m going to haul out the old work excuse here though I must say it’s been a busy few weeks at Chi For Yourself.

When you go to the website you’re going to find a new addition. That would be the Yoga page. I’m a newbie when it comes to Yoga but I’ve picked what I think will be a great video to accompany a beginner’s practice. Sara and her mates will take you through the paces in a way that even us tenderfoot types can handle.

Many thanks for the good reaction to the Echo Bodine interview. And, on “Chi-Vee” right now is more good stuff. In the afterglow of the Oscars we’re featuring a message from Spiritual Cinema Circle’s Stephen Simon. And on the audio side I’m putting the finishing touches on the interview with Deborah Shea. She’ll she’ll some light on the practice of Chakra balancing and how she helps her clients here in the Orange County area.

I’m hearing tentative go signals from a couple of well-known authors who are out with new books. So, the stars may be aligning for more good stuff in the pipeline.

‘Looks like breaktime is over. Got a date in the “editing suite”. I’m excited at the prospects as we head into this young year…
