Labyrinth Walk
A labyrinth has one well-defined path that leads us into the
center and back out again. A labyrinth is NOT a maze. The
labyrinth does not engage our thinking minds. It invites our
intuitive, pattern-seeking, symbolic mind to come forth. It is
walking/moving meditation. The labyrinth is a tool to guide
healing, deepen self-knowledge and empower creativity. Walking
the labyrinth urges action. It calms people in the throes of
life transitions. It helps them see their lives in the context
of a path, a pilgrimage. (excerpted from "Walking The Sacred
Path" by Dr. Lauren Artress)
Outer Stress
Tangible external demands and pressures.
Qi Gong
(pronounced chi kung) Qi Gong is a
form of moving meditation. Our bodies are full of energy but,
because of the everyday stresses of life the energy becomes
blocked inside us. Learning and practicing Qi gong develops
internal strength and energy. It also teaches us to relax our
entire system and calms our minds so that we can remove our
internal energy blocks. Best of all, Qi gong exercises are
simple, invigorating, effective, relaxing and very easy to
learn. (excerpted from "Chi Kung" by Eleanor McKenzie).
Someday Syndrome
Unconscious procrastinating by always waiting for the perfect time in the future to start something, finish something, or try something new.
Spaciousness
Creating physical and psychological space around what you are doing.
Values
Those things most important to you that drive your priorities, decisions and choices
on a daily basis.
Visioning
Creating a mental picture of the desired outcome of intentions.
Imagining what you would like to create.
Success Circles
Small yet powerful groups of people
who come together with a common focus for a four or six week
commitment to themselves and others to learn, share, support
each other, and grow in their business, work and personal life.
