"Soul Full" Wisdom

“Sometimes we go out and seek the fire that will burn away what is dross in our lives.  More often, we awaken suddenly to find ourselves encircled by flame.  Intense experiences of the heart transform us.  I want to know if you can stand with me, eyes wide open, when the fire – asked for or unbidden - consumes all we think we know.  I want to know if you will offer yourself as fuel for the flames and let the Mystery we seek, the Divine we long for, which comes in unpredictable ways, consume and transform you.”

-The Invitation, Oriah Mountain Dreamer

My upcoming trip to China is one such “experience of the heart” described by Oriah Mountain Dreamer.  I will be with 600-700 Chinese coaches and 100 coaches from around the world, learning, sharing, growing and connecting.  I am truly entering into Mystery – a total immersion!

Preparing and planning for this journey has challenged my thinking about my self as a woman, my half-Japanese ethnicity, my upbringing as a Catholic, my being an American and the consciously spiritual aspect of my work.  It has revealed those places in me that still feel insecure and self-conscious.  It has also illuminated the strength that resides deep within my soul, that propels me forward, that roots me in my deep commitment to serve our world, to leave a lasting legacy by my life, work and how I have loved and lived.

I have set an intention to allow this journey, this pilgrimage, to consume all I think I know - about who I am, my assumptions about the world, about the power of coaching and about the strength of the human heart.  I surrender into Divine Mystery – malleable, pliable, secure in the experience of peace while I find myself wondering what I’ll be eating for breakfast….how will I get enough water (I drink gallons) ….what shoes should I bring for the formal evening celebration dinner, how will I manage a 15 hour flight, etc.! Ahhhh, our human concerns are so delightful, aren’t they!?

I invite you to share in my journey by following my blog as I offer my self to the unpredictable, transformational fire and emerge….who knows what…how?

"Soul Full" Moment Mini Meditation

Stop.

Take five deep breaths, breathing slowly into your belly and releasing.

Listen.

What are you sensing in your body?
How are you feeling emotionally?
What is your mind thinking?

What are you attached to right now?
Can you sense your attachment to attachment?
How do you experience it?
What is set free as you let it go?

Now, take five deep breaths, breathing slowly into your belly and releasing.
Go on with your day.
Be with your self where you are because that’s where you are!
