7th Chakra Say . . .
The efflux of the soul is happiness – here is happiness;
I think it pervades the open air, waiting at all times;
Now it flows into us – we are
rightly charged. — Walt Whitman

Invitation to Write Past the Mind and into the Chakras
Are you ready to let go of your intellectual understanding of what is “socially acceptable writing” and allow yourself to really say what you need to say?
Are you ready to let writing move through your body, into your energetic being, and trust what it’s saying to you?
Are you ready to release memories (or make up new ones), blocks, and sticky spots?
Are you ready for non-judgmental feedback, compassionate communication, and encouragement?
If you said “yes” to any of the questions above, then you are ready to participate in Writing the Energetic Body.
Shedding Inhibition and Divining Your Intentions – with me
A new session of Writing the Energetic Body online is scheduled for the end of this month. I am constantly updating material so there will be new video instruction as well as a slightly new format for this next version. I’ve even made a new website/blog that focuses just on the classes — Writing the Energetic Body. I will be offering live workshops at my studio very soon.
The next four-week session begins on the Full Moon ~ January 27, 2013 to February 23, 2013
Writing the Energetic Body – 4 Week Online Course
Shedding Inhibition and Divining Your Intentions Workshop – 28 Days of Writing Past the Mind and into the Chakras
Allow your inner-critic to relax, have fun writing, and recieve encouragement and feedback while exploring your chakras.
For this workshop we start from the Crown and work our way down to the Root. You’re encouraged to set an intention at the beginning of the session and to give thanks for the abundance that is already in your life. The Crown is about Ideas, Spirit, Divine Inspiration. The Root is about Manifestation.
Writing the Energetic Body will use the major chakra system as the “backbone” for self-exploration through writing.
Participants will:
compassionately and creatively observe the Self
uncover hidden impulses, stories, and life patterns
awaken the body/mind
utilize the breath for presence in the moment
deepen and expand creative vision
loosen up and strengthen fluid writing
There is no need to “know” anything about the chakra system, our bodies physically and energetically hold information, and by freely writing we can tap into that knowledge.
Participants will receive daily writing prompts designed to stimulate a specific chakra for the given day in their in-boxes. They will spend 30 minutes only on the given prompt. They will return their responses via email to me. Participants will also have the chance to upload their work to a private blog site to share and to give and receive feedback from other participants.
I will personally respond to your work via email.
As an added bonus, participants also receive either written, audio, or video instruction for movement, meditation, or breath work that will deepen the prompt for the day. Participants may use the additional instruction however they choose—and it is theirs to refer to whenever they like.

There are some things I’m excited about:
I have a studio there that will serve as an art studio, another room that will serve as my reiki studio and my tarot reading room, and, a gallery.
I live really close to the Heard Museum, the Phoenix Art Museum, and the Phoenix Center for the Arts. I’m looking forward to connecting with artists and teachers and volunteering and taking classes – just being active in the arts with other creative people.
My place! I love it! I love the courtyard, I have some cool neighbors, a swimming pool and a hot tub, and a patio!
Of course – my man and Seraphina.
Not driving over 100 miles a day to get back and forth to work. My situation right now is incredibly unsustainable. In fact – I am focusing on walking and/or biking distance.
A bedroom and a bathroom of my own. A door to close.
My own bed!
The chance to make more money.
The possibility of starting a band!
Fun places to rock my new haircut. (I know, sounds silly, but, I really like places that have ambience and style . . . )
The possibility of restarting grad school
Anahata Chakra ~ Breathing the World
The heart is where we discover our emotional nature in relation to ourselves alone. (It is here where we also realize that Self, really is the whole world. As I inhale and exhale, I exchange the air with everything that inhales and exhales—you, animals, plants, etc.) In the big picture, nature is always balancing itself Bringing it back down to ourselves (knowing that we are connected), we must at some point ask ourselves, “How do I achieve balance in my life?”

For three weeks, we’ll explore integrating intentions and the mind/body with movement, meditation, and daily writing exercises. Why three weeks? Because three is a lucky number, we’ll explore each of the seven chakras for three days a piece, and, I’ve heard that it takes 21 days to instill a habit. If you want to write, this is a great way to start a daily practice.
