“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars and to change the world.” --Harriet Tubman
Happy 2012 to all! There's no question this week since we're doing a workshop today but we wanted to share our wisdom with you! For those of you who can't come, here are some tips and tools to Get Glowing for 20-12 and Write Your Year!
Start with some quiet time on your yoga mat or the floor. For 5 to 10 minutes just sit and breathe. Notice where you are. Notice how you are feeling. Has the New Year left you feeling excited and anticipatory or did the holidays wear you out? Wherever you are NOW embrace yourself and love yourself exactly as you are. Just be still with yourself right here, right now.
Next grab some pens and paper and get ready to write!
First answer the question: “What does 'Get Glowing' mean to you?” Let your mind and your hands run freely across the page. Write, draw, paint, or even dance what comes to you. When it feels complete take a good long look at what you came up with and then set it aside.
Take a few deep breaths to clear your mind and take out a new piece of paper. What are some of the obstacles that keep you from GLOWING? What's getting in the way of your GLOW right now? Write as much as you can, letting out all of the blocks and obstacles that emerge. When you are done, tear this up or grab the shredder and LET IT GO!!! These are so yesterday and things best left behind!!!
Now take a 2 minute dance break. Here's a song by Karen Drucker to get you moving and grooving to your beat for 20-12. Really let yourself go for 2 minutes. Dance your GLOW, dance out your obstacles, dance the New Year and new YOU into your body.
When you are ready, find a comfortable spot again and take out another piece of paper. Using crayons, markers, colored pencils or whatever feels right to you, make an Energy Map for 2012. How do you want to GLOW in 20-12? What do you want to do this year? What are your goals, desires and aspirations? Start with pictures and images that come to mind. What colors are calling to you? What shapes? Then move into words and phrases. What do you want to embody this year? Again, give yourself free reign to write, draw or dance whatever comes into your mind. Anything goes. This is a time for total freedom and full expression of your needs and desires for YOUR life for 2012!
Give yourself plenty of time to complete this Energy Map. When you are done, step back and take a good look at it. Is there anything missing? Add it now. When it feels complete set it in front of you and enter into a meditative space again. See if you can come up with one word that embodies this energy for you What is your word for 20-12? Sit still and let the word come to you, don't chase it. If it doesn't come today, stay open and allow it to come over the next few days. If a word does come to you, write it on a post-it note and put it somewhere prominent where you will see if often. Let it inform your days as you move through 20-12. Give yourself permission to GLOW this year!
Peace, Oneness, Love and Light to you now and always,
Jennifer & Lara
