The whole truth, or only the inspirational parts?

partwhole

Being an instructor, teacher, coach or therapist puts one in a position where your clients want to listen to what you say.  Be it about how to move more freely with consciousness, how to balance your diet or, whatever the subject matter may be, it is an honor to be in such a position.  However, with this comes a responsibility to be ultra conscious about what you say, regardless whether you’re expressing opinions or facts about your chosen subject or way of living.

The question I have is how do we balance being authentic with our clients, whilst still maintaining the ability to stay up-beat and ‘positive’, even when we may feel like curling up and having a cry? (Obvs within moderation with everyone, not just clients!)

Would it be incorrect of me as a yoga instructor to share my flaws when they arise? Or as a nutritionist (in the making) to share my challenges in maintaining optimal nutritional health?  Am I being genuine with my clients if I only show them the best of me and hide the things which have made me compassionate in the first place?

What is the most important thing to share with your clients?  Is it the whole truth so they can see you’re not so different?  Or only share the ‘lighter’ side?

Everyday Learning

p

Everyday I’m feeling, is everyday I’m learning

Everyday I’m judging, is everyday I’m expanding my compassion

Everyday I’m expanding, I need to recognise What these feelings mean..

Everyday I’m feeling scared, loved, hateful, joyous, alone or connected

Everyday I’m experiencing life to the best of my intention

Do I do it for me, or for you?..

formeoryou

The conflict, or the reflection about doing what you need to do to fulfill yourself, whilst being conscious about the needs of others.

The ultimate internal dilemma I (and maybe you) face regularly with regards to, ‘should’ I do this because I want to or ‘should’ I do that because it’s a nice thing to do for An Other..?

Is it about love and our relationship to ourselves and others?  Power dynamics?  Or perhaps emotions, or our sexual energy and desires?  Fulfilling our right to feel certain things?  Or, is it about how we express our needs and receive the communications from others about their needs or desires?  As with everything one experiences in life, it’s all down to our perception..

Yet, with so many questions how can a decision ever be confident?

Truth being, we only do things for others if there is some kind of selfish motive in there somewhere anyway, even if this is as innocent as enjoying the warm feeling you get when you make someone else smile.  Also, if we’re not doing something which benefits us in some way; how can we 1) know it is really going to benefit An Other (only they know what’s best for them..) and 2) how will we ever get what we need?

If we fulfill ourselves does that mean we also have more energy and impetus to give when An Other asks?

Follow your heart..

Happy Easter? Pascha? Passover? Chocolate Egg Day?. Holidays!!

Easter

Personally, I was bought up as a Catholic.  Thus Easter was boring with lots of church visits but balanced out by chocolate bribes.

As I’ve grown through life I’ve learnt I’m not much a fan of organised religion, and although I believe that like Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna and such, Jesus was a real man who left parables in an attempt to point at something divine.  I don’t however believe in heaven and hell, except that which we create for ourselves in our own minds; but I do respect that everyone believes in what they feel is right, organised religion may feel good to you and I respect that too.

Easter for me now, is a great time when I can spend some more time with the people I love and choose to be around.  Thus, I wish all people, (whatever it is you celebrate, love, family, suffering, God, chocolate, bunnies, the Sun) a VERY exciting Easter Holiday time.

We’re also between a lunar (moon 14/04/14) and solar (sun 29/04/14) eclipses right now, a powerful time of year for all!

LOVE and more LOVE xx

Suppressing Expressing

suppress

I can’t stand to look at their faces,

Avoid absorbing all the pain out in these places.

 

Why do they have to look like that?

I wonder why that guy is so fat?

That girl is well skinny, more like a rake.

O yes and she’s another covered in fake.

Why’s that guy’s face so red, and her eyes all black?

I’m not sure what their doing to make themselves look like that..

 

What are they eating?  What are they wearing?

What on Earth is it that they’re hearing?

 

Why everyday do I go out of my way

To suppress what I feel someone must say?

Why are you unhappy?  Why are you so sad?

There’s not an ounce in you that can be all that bad..

 

Your body may be heavy but your eyes still seem bright;

Please now reconsider this ridiculous fight.

The fight with yourself and the fight with your heart;

Do you not realise that you can’t live apart?

Your heart knows the truth, it’s easy you’ll see;

Let down your guard to who it’s urging you to be.

 

What we give we get back,

It is as easy as that.

Dominate, control,  and selfish greed;

Lusting after unnecessary ‘need’;

Give out sh*t, and that’s all we see.

Completely missing how amazing life can be..

 

 

Peace, Love, Shine

Building life a new

Change

Nutrition, movement, fitness and food have been fastidious points in my life since I can remember.  How exciting it feels for me to be working with them in a more organised and structured manner!  As well as having the potential to not only further optimise my own condition, but the general health of others too!

By working with my TRUE passions and my husband and community; I am finally able to let go of my financial safety blanket (which I am very grateful to have had); checking out of the full-time office role and into following my excitement!  I feel very blessed and grateful for this opportunity I’ve created along with much support from my husband, you and everyone else in this community, and believe strongly that when following ones TRUE PASSION, with FOCUS, DEDICATION and FULL ATTENTION; we can literally achieve ANYTHING..

Much love & thanks

Focus and All WILL Come..

focuskyte2

What’s at the core of your desires?  What intention(s) are you focusing on? maybe take a few moments to reflect on this..

I have an experiment for you.  I’m doing it right now and it really works!

Bring one thing to mind; just ONE e.g. if you’re on your way somewhere, focus on being on your journey and getting to that place; or if you’re creating something, meditate on it so all your other mental distractions subside for that moment.

Then, be with this one things and stay focused on it.  With this focused intention, NOTHING will get in your way..

Clearly, if you have many life aims, you’ll want to change your focus at times, but intend to keep to the one thing which feels the most relevant in each moment and you’ll get there sooner than you think 😉

In order for this to work, remember, just one thing at the time and let go of all your other background intentions; allow the subconscious to work it’s magic on them..

Be careful what you wish for…. 😉

New Moon Tomorrow – What’s your intention?

open up

New Moon Tomorrow Morning, 8.00am in the UK to be precise 😉

This new moon is in the constellation of Pisces.  This means it’s a good opportunity to set intentions for our personal growth and to make important life changes.  This could be things such as:

  • Accepting ourselves as we are (loving our imperfections)
  • Gathering the strength to change what we feel isn’t serving us
  • Start a project which gets our creative juices going
  • To give ourselves enough space and time to find some inner peace
  • Sharing our dreams and collude with another

 

For me, this month I intend to:

  • Gain greater clarity in my decisions by listening to myself more
  • To focus my energy more when I need to and thus maximise all of productive, fun, and relaxing times
  • Being softer with myself (and thus also with others)
  • Do more of what I love to earn my living, dropping that which I no longer need and which I feel is holding me back (eeek scary one!)

 

What’s your intention?

Have a fantastic weekend xxx
