Our chakra system directly links to our bodies - physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually. Each track on this recording is a guided meditation through one of the seven major chakras of the body. 

1st Chakra: The first chakra is about our connection our “tribe”. The first tribe being our families, then perhaps school, friends, work, country. The tribe helps us to build our foundation. The tribe should eventually help us to create relationships with others and to build a strong sense of self. 
2nd Chakra: Often our society regiments creativity, our connection to our emotions, and our sense of curiosity, right out of us. This is where we get to claim what is our birthright. This is where we allow our inner-freak flag fly! 
3rd Chakra: Third Chakra really has to do with our personal identity and will. Who are we? What is our purpose? 
4th Chakra: The heart is where we discover our emotional nature in relation to ourselves alone. The heart takes the passion of the first three chakras and moves it to a place of compassion. It takes raw energy and refines it, softens it, gives it an anchor. 
5th Chakra: The Fifth Chakra is about Communication and Creativity. It is about keeping our word with ourselves and with others. When our 5th Chakra is balanced, we can trust and allow the “divine will” (which is really our Higher Self) flow through us. 
6th Chakra: The sixth chakra is about perception, clarity of vision and thinking, and psychic ability. It is where we store and interpret our memories, perceive our dreams, and imagine our future. It is where we learn discernment – and the ability to detach ourselves personally from our life’s lessons. 
7th Chakra: This chakra is concerned with the way we think, our belief systems, and our connection to higher power. Think on this – thought is the first emanation of consciousness on its way to manifestation. So, thought, being high in this ethereal realm, is the seed of manifestation, which brings us back “down” to the earthly plane.

When we value our individual talents, rather than strive to be one with the masses, we contribute to the diversity of our society. When we can find balance and honor ourselves, we lose the need to constantly consume “stuff” in order to feel normal or happy. Our world is rapidly changing; more and more of us are finding that “business as usual” no longer works. We are at a point in our history where it’s imperative that we trust our intuition and innate creativity in order to survive.

If we believe our own vision and drive are valid, then we would naturally want to take care of our world. If we feel that our ideas matter, then the desire to do “good” becomes even more powerful. My intention for “Writing the Energetic Body” is to explore coping with change, healing, and taking responsibility for our selves, our society, and our planet, through creativity and the creative process.

Journaling is a form of unfolding-- participants will benefit from a deeper sense of self-awareness, relaxation and compassion.

This seminar will use the major chakra system as the "backbone" for self-exploration through journaling. Creative visualization, gentle movement, sound, sensory stimulation, and writing prompts designed to wake up specific chakras will inspire a series of timed writings.

Writing the Energetic Body will begin by focusing on the first three, or "earthly" chakras, then the “fulcrum” heart chakra (the bridge between body and spirit) followed by the higher, or three "ethereal" chakras.

We will explore issues of survival and “the tribe”; pleasure, sexuality and emotions; our sense of purpose and personal power; and compassion and self-acceptance. We will open to love; clear communication and creativity; intuition and imagination; and understanding and spiritual connection.

Attendees will receive a final relaxation meditation at the end of the workshop.

No writing workshop or yoga experience required. Materials: Favorite pen, a notebook or journal, water, a yoga mat, and comfortable clothing.

Thinking about the August New Moon

It's that time of month. The new moon rolls around and it's time to put intentions out there. As the moon waxes, energy builds on the wishes. Woke up thinking about things. It's time to ask, "What have I done/learned?" and "What do I want to do?" and always, 'What is for my highest good?"

The writing workshops at the Flagstaff Yoga Festival went very well. What a whirlwind! The first workshop dealt with the chakras that are more connected with our physical existence - and after it was over, I was TIRED! Grounded. Heavy in a way. The second workshop was dealing with the more ethereal chakras, the lines between them were less delineated. By the end, I felt light and energized. I was so happy to have ended the first with the heart and began the second with the heart. So much love flying around in that room I got goosebumps and felt close to crying.

Changes I'd like to make: Doing 7 chakras in one day is intense! I'd like to explore each chakra more deeply, giving more time to each one. More movement, more yoga, more meditation and sound. I had about 25 minutes for each chakra. I'd like to spend an hour or two with each one instead. So, perhaps spreading the workshops out over 4 days - 2 hours each - or 2 days, 3 or 4 hours each. (2 chakras a day, and the final day integrating it all or discussing strategies to continue on with the work - starting writing groups or blogs, etc.)

So, new moon intention on the workshops:

1. Expand the work
2. Talk with connections here in Flagstaff to set up a more in-depth workshop for the fall
3. Talk with folks in Sedona, Scottsdale and Tucson (San Diego?) for winter workshops
4. Talk with folks on the east coast for Spring/early summer workshops
5. Canyon workshops

I definitely need to promote my cd better. I was so concerned about my workshops that I didn't really promote my cd as I should have. On top of that, doing this on my own - all of it is new to me.

CD intentions:

1. Explore ways to promote the cd - be open for ways to get the work out there
2. Create graphics for better promotion
3. Feel good! I did it and it was fun to create.

I guess those are the big things on my mind. I'd also like to do the following:

1. Continue to expand my yoga practice by exploring through classes, reading, private practice, dvd's, etc. I may take the Chakra Workshop at 7 Centers in Sedona. (With that in mind, I must intend for more income to do that)
2. Open to new income streams
3. Expect unexpected checks - and have gratitude (this works!!!)
4. Healing for my body so that I feel even better than I did BEFORE the accident
5. Following a more formal schedule for my own writing, yoga, creative work
6. Be open for the perfect car for me.
7. Yoga workshops collaborating with Laura Brown
8. Workshops collaborating with Brad Olsen
9. Collaboration! More co-creating . . .
10. Have fun.
11. Remain open and loving in my relationships.
12. Explore ways in which Randy and I can see each other while he works in Wisconsin
13. Share Amazon Herbs
14. Check in with myself everyday: What is my Highest Good?

There's always more. Most importantly, act from love and compassion. I am so much happier when I see the world as a place filled with love.

This or something better is now coming to me easily and effortlessly for the highest good of all.
