Personal note from Shawn

Hi,

Last weekend I had the opportunity to participate in a day-long Speaking Circle in the Bay Area. I've been leading Circles in Sacramento for almost nine years now, but it had been a while since I'd been a participant. I was reminded of how precious a gift Circles can be, particularly for those who are really uncomfortable with public speaking. I'm looking forward to offering Circles regularly again in Sacramento.

This weekend, I'm participating in a workshop I'm really looking forward to: The Secret Art of Manifestation. I've been part of the team bringing the class to Sacramento, so it's very exciting, particularly as participants from other cities have been raving about it and having really profound experiences. Given that the workshop is focusing on manifestation from a deeply spiritual perspective, we'll see what "shows up."

Sending blessings of peace and joy,

Shawn

Your Body Is Talking To You

Do you pay attention to your body's vibrations? That may seem like an odd question, but paying attention to your vibration is an important awareness to develop. By being more aware of how our bodies feel in any given moment, we can learn to shift our vibration more readily. We can assess where we are, choose to focus on thoughts or situations that create a better feeling vibration, and, in doing so, feel a lot better a lot more often.

In all honesty, I used to think that was a bunch of hooey. Several years ago, when my friend Karen told me that my thoughts lead to how I was feeling, I argued with her. Nope. That's definitely not true. I was so stuck in my sad/negative feelings, I couldn't imagine that thinking "better" thoughts would change how I felt. So, Karen, I owe you a huge apology! You were right. Better thoughts DO bring better feelings!

Taking your vibrational temperature

Just as an experiment, try this for yourself:

  1. Notice how you are feeling. Content? Blah? Frustrated? Enthusiastic? How does your body feel? Maybe you feel a little "hum" coursing through your body, a bit like a cat purring. Or maybe you feel low energy, like a lump of bread dough, your vibration feels sluggish, slow. What do you notice?

  2. Now bring up a thought or situation that makes you feel great. Imagine being IN that situation and notice your emotions and how your body feels. See if you can "step into" being in a great feeling situation (closing your eyes and vividly imagining the experience may help.) The more vividly you can experience the situation, the more likely your body will "perk up" vibrationally. So, how is your body feeling now?

Oftentimes, we get into vibrational "ruts" and can find ourselves quickly reverting back to our lower vibrations, but these can be changed and we can be feeling better relatively quickly.
