Aligning Success with Authentic Spirit

Inner North Glossary

Authentic Spirit

Being connected to your inner wisdom, knowing what’s most important to you, and fully living your life attuned to and aligned with your highest values, and purpose.  Being aware of the part of you that is connected to Source–a perspective of oneness and Love.

Conscious Gratitude

Really noticing what you are grateful for in your life at this moment. Spending time feeling true appreciation daily.

Creatively Respond

When trust in our Spirit, our creativity and intuition come together to respond to previously unknown challenges, problems, and situations in completely new ways.

Goals

The concrete results or manifestations of an intention.

Guided Meditations/Hypnotherapy

Both of these techniques are ways to deeply relax, as in meditation, bypassing your ego or conscious mind and accessing your subconscious where change is faster and more powerful.  Where guided meditations are more free-flowing, hypnotherapy is more directed and gives positive suggestions and affirmations.

Lucid Living

Lucid Living is the process of bringing appreciation and gratitude directly into this current reality of the Now moments of life.  Instead of Lucid Dreaming, where you realize you are dreaming while in the dream, here you realize the perfection you are in the midst of living right in of middle of living it.

Pigeon Fears

Personifications of our negative self-talk and inner critic.

Spiral Effect

Intention

Focused energy on a certain outcome or belief.

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.

Purpose

Activities that best use your natural talents, that awaken your true nature, and allow your heart to sing.

Gain support, validation and inspiration as you travel your own unique journey of personal transformation. This is a very powerful piece of the transformational process.  In order to take risks, move out of your comfort zones, or be a little bit different than the status quo, you need to feel safe, supported and encouraged. This Safe Space will give you an opportunity to define new roles for yourself and test them out, and explore your Authentic Spirt as you gain more trust in yourself and your own guidance.
