Where is Teresa?


Red Rufus

Enjoying today’s gift of being grounded by sub zero temperatures and a stubborn car battery enabling me to finally sit down, take a breath, and write.

I have also been catching up with technology with the addition of an iphone and rebooting my blog. (A blog = a contraction of the term “web log”)

I invite you to visit and subscribe to the blog at  http://blog.livingintuitive.com/ where I look forward to staying in touch more frequently WITH:

SHORTER and more time sensitive posts and networking;

MORE specific information about health, fertility, and pregnancy promotion; and

VLOGGING = (Video blogging, sometimes shortened to vlogging).

Enjoy!

Living Intuitive Observations


Navigating the Path of Pleasure

Amusingly, once I changed the expectations of my day and I sat down to write, my car magically started despite it now being -8 degrees (8 degrees colder than the last time I tried). Ah, the gift of permission from the unseen to be and to enjoy!

What pleasure it has been to give myself this space free of shouldering and expectations. The key was to follow the hint and pivot to the staying at home and writing; instead of tracking down a battery jump. I am so glad I pivoted.

This cold, internal nesting day has, in turn, fueled the satisfying, effortless flow for the act of creating. In the place of feeling stressed about what is not getting done; I feel connected, grateful, and fully energized.

This ability to pivot is a direct result from the past few month’s investment I have spent automatically questioning, challenging and overriding  my superego voice that reactively chirps in with  “you CANNOT or SHOULD NOT even think of doing that”…….“You know it costs too much” ………“You can make do without it”……. “It would be non productive “………“How frivolous- there are more important things you should be doing”…….NANG ,NANG NANG NANG…..

Instead I have been focusing on feeling and responding to what my body, heart, and soul desire in the moment. This calls for silencing the nang nangs or at least negotiating with them and putting them on a pause button. I have discovered that engaging in this simple but focused practice of following the path of pleasure, is the secret ingredient in enlivening my desires and dreams.

One of my acts of inner listening inspired me to finally listen to Christiane Northrup’s, The Power of Joy CD.  I was saving it to gift to someone someday.(nang nang). Last week I decided to gift it to myself instead. I love in the CD how she talks about the physiology of the pleasure and joy pathways in our brains and bodies.This CD totally reinforced and uplifted my process. Below are a few more repatterning tips I have found fundamental in my ability to silence my nang nangs.

  1. Sleeping at least 8 hours every night
  2. Supporting my adrenals with nettles infusion (nettles infusion directions can be found http://blog.livingintuitive.com/)
  3. Taking my 2,000- 5,000 IU of Vitamin D along with Kryl oil
  4. Not squeezing in the one more errand in between appointment, s or meetings. instead by arriving a little early, enables me to enjoy, appreciate, and settle.
  5. TURNING OFF my cell phone when I am in a meeting, driving or having tea out with someone. This  supports me in being fully present.
  6. Giving myself permission to watch TV. I have discovered the joy’s of watching shows online. I am LOVING The Good Wife; and surprised by Hot in Cleavland. It is corny but I find myself amused and laughing out loud.
  7. Getting outside, cultivating a nature connection is KEY.
  8. My most pleasurable daily nature experience is chicken duty. Checking on their water, feed and looking for fresh eggs never fails to put a huge smile within my entire being.
  9. Cultivating Gratitude. Next time you are sitting at a stop light look around and find at least one thing to feel gratitude about.
  10. Upon waking, I take 30 seconds to breath into my heart and feel it filling with love and appreciation for a new day in which to fulfill my life purpose.
  11. Watching and playing with our new puppy, Sunny. She is such a goof ball and absolutely loves life. I love to watch her play by herself with a bone in her mouth.
  12. Engaging in Seva–acts of service–SEE MEDITATION SECTION.

And the list continues……

I invite you to make your own list with the aspiration of growing it longer daily so every day there are more and more parts of your day that cultivates your pleasure and JOY!

SEVA – Gifts of Service

I invite you to enjoy this issue’s moving meditation and gratitude exercise and blessing.

A meditation group I am involved with has a service project with Stand up for Kids in Denver  http://www.standupforkids.org/.

Several of our group members are working in the streets with these homeless kids who have no place to go. Many shelters cannot not take in an underage child without a parent present. Many of us in our Boulder group are supporting the individuals providing hands-on service in Denver, by donating warm clothes and nutritious food items that do not require heating, i.e., Lara Bars. If you have items to donate, feel free to contact me, Teresa@LivingIntuitive.com, 303-258-3904

DAILY BLESSING:

“May today there be peace within.

May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.”
