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.

Moving out of T-Town and a Solar Eclipse

I am also going to do some moon magic – a little letting go, a little intention setting, and a little gratitude. Of course, it’s good to take stock on a regular basis—and have some gratitude everyday—but today is especially big. (My friend Robert Alvarez created a lovely post regarding the moon and the power of “no” just this morning. Check Robert’s post out).

Wild and Free Full Moon Message

Because Gemini is the Sign of Communication, a great Divinity to work with right now Is Saraswati (also known as Sarasvati), the Hindu Goddess of Creativity, the Arts, Communication, Wisdom and Self-Expression. Working with Her and asking Her for Wisdom not only brings your Spiritual Pearls of Wisdom, but it also makes Her Sister, Laxmi, quite jealous. I can almost hear Laxmi saying, “This bitch is not paying attention to me! Let me give her some CASH; that’ll turn her head.” Indeed, it will; even THE Deepak Chopra has stated publicly that if you want Laxmi to shower you with Financial Blessings, spend time with Her Sister, Saraswati, as that shall make Her jealous.

Why the bull, Taurus?

Taurus is a “fixed” sign. The fixed signs are the creative pillars of the zodiac and they have great stability and power. The bull has great strength, stability and sexual potency and the cow is the nurturer who gives its wonderful, nourishing milk freely. They are the archetypal animal embodiment of God / Goddess – the totem of the Creator. Native Americans use the skull of another bovine animal, the buffalo, to represent Creator on their altar. Its universal – cattle are considered sacred in Jainism, Buddhism and Zoroastrianism as well as the religions of ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome.
