Hi there,

Back to school time is here! I'm sorry that our summer is "over", AND I'm thrilled to have my routine back. Here's my daughter Kasie right when she got home from school giving our new puppy Choxie a big squeeze.

I've been in the middle of a personal and professional "reinvention" period. GROWTH is a wonderful thing but it really can and usually does rock the boat in some way. Your personal and professional growth WILL impact others. It can't be helped. Of course this impact can be positive AND / OR negative.

One of the ways I take the edge off is to compassionately care for myself AND anyone I impact with the decisions I make. Caring for others in this way doesn't mean you have to take responsibility for how they feel and react; it just means you understand, at a deep level, it's not easy for them either. Even if others judge you and your decisions out of their own fear, jealousy, lack of understanding, etc., don't judge them for their judgment. They're doing the best they can too. Usually, we're all just doing the best we can.

On another note, you have to read this week's brand new article from guest expert author, Jennifer Bloome. Jennifer shares a perspective on growth I love. If you've ever felt like you can't or don't measure up (and who hasn't), you've got to read her article. It's fantastic. Even though her article speaks specifically about Mind-Body practices you can use her suggestions for any area of your life in which you are learning new things and growing.

AND, have you signed up for my fr*ee Money and Your Core Passions teleclass next week? You can register right here! Please join me and tons of people from AROUND THE WORLD on this call. I promise, I'm not sharing a "pie in the sky" solution to all of your money issues but I will share a proven system for making all the money you need and want. Once you know this system, you'll know it forever! Once I learned this *very practical* system my ability to manifest money increased drastically. (If you've already registered no need to register again - I have you down!)

I'm looking forward to this weekend, how about you? Here in Minnesota autumn is in the air and I felt like hosting an intimate dinner party for our friends. Pasta, good wine, good music and yes, good dessert is on our menu. I think we'll eat by candle light and enjoy a wonderful conversation. Sounds yummy, doesn't it? I wish you lived closer - I'd love to have you over too!

Enjoy your weekend!

Taking the Journey
By: Jennifer Bloome (c) 2007

So you have some kind of an issue in your life and you decide, finally, to try something new. Either you have read a new book, bought a specific program..whatever.

The sales copy has promised that this is the solution to your pain.

You eagerly try out this new method, have a little success, but nothing like was promised. Perhaps you have enough success to keep going forward - or maybe you don't. Either way you're not blown away.

Perhaps this even applies to Mind-Body practices for you. Maybe you've tried a couple of the exercises I've given you - or ones you have learned about in other places. But, even though they may work in the moment, they certainly aren't life changing.

Why is it that some people have astounding success and you have none or only marginal success?

There are multiple reasons that you could come up with ranging from beating yourself up to raging at being sold a bill of goods.

But, recently I read a book by Sonja Choquette, that provided a different set of reasons that were very empowering. She describes a set of stages that each person goes through when learning new lessons. Now, she was talking about Soul Lessons, but these stages are applicable to other life areas, especially Mind-Body.

She describes a progression of learning a new lesson (skill, program, etc.) from student to apprentice to journeyman to master. How long it takes to progress through each stage depends on the person. What I love about this model is that it shows life or learning something new for what it truly is: a progression, a process, a journey.

We all want instant results - I include myself in that. Sometimes we get them. More often, we work our way through something. Too many of us give up before we actually get to the master level because we think there is something wrong with us that we didn't achieve instant success.

Here's how to see where you fall with Mind-Body practices:

If you're a student: You still only have a vague understanding that your Mind and Body are connected - other than experiencing stress causing you a headache or two. You feel like a victim of your physical or emotional pain. You've tried some breathing techniques or basic imagery, but your mind races and it's too hard to continue.

If you're an Apprentice: You are beginning to understand your power in changing how you feel and how life goes for you. You have played around with some more techniques and have had some small successes. But, you still wait to use them until you absolutely need them.

If you're a Journeyman: You have a regular practice of Mind-Body skills and techniques. You spend time looking at the areas of your life you would like to improve and finding the beliefs that are keeping you stuck. You don't get as frustrated by negative emotions and situations because you know you have a way to handle them.

If you're a Master: Mind Body practices come automatically to you. You are always aware of you're emotions and you are okay with whatever emotion you are feeling because you can see the bigger picture. You consistently work for a better feeling thought even if it is anger instead of despair. If you have a physical issue, your first thought is to look for the emotional component. You feel in charge and in control and peaceful and joyful.

Most programs sell you the benefits obtained when you achieve master status - and then those of use students or apprentices beat ourselves up because we don't achieve those results right away.I found this explanation so empowering and so freeing.

Give yourself the gift of time and awareness, especially when it comes to incorporating Mind Body into your daily life. The benefits are so worth it.

I hope you will continue to journey along with me.
