Shaping your destiny

I am a firm believe in shaping my own destiny. What you put in is what you get out!

There is no doubt in my mind that we create what happens around us and I was discussing this very topic with my husband earlier in the week. What did I get this morning in my inbox?…a sweet little reminder that I’m on the right track:

I subscribe to tut.com and each morning I get a ‘Note from The Universe’. This was today’s:

“You can choose to go, do, be, and have, and in the end you’ll exclaim, shocked and bewildered, that because of all the synchronicities of your life, all the “clicks” and “coincidences,” and the many happy “accidents,” your bounty and good fortune must have been your destiny.

Or, you might choose to wait for a miracle, a savior, or divine intervention, and in the end you’ll exclaim, shocked and bewildered, that because of all the synchronicities of your life, all the missed chances and disappointments, and the many unhappy accidents, your lack and misfortune must have been your destiny.”

My Dad calls it his ‘silver spoon’. I’m choose serving spoon size spoons…and filling them with strawberries!

How do you create your  silver spoons?

What is this workshop all about?

In this five day workshop you will learn to love your shadow and step out of what is holding you back in your life.

We will be spending the mornings in workshop space…exploring how you live your life, how your behaviours limit you and how to have a huge shift.

The afternoons will be spent sunning yourself on the beach or exploring the local area.

Who is this workshop really for?

It’s for you if you’re interested in knowing what robs you of your self-respect, courage and creativity.

If you keep on repeating the same patterns over and over… and you’re fed up and want something to shift.

This workshop is for you if you want to have a massive breakthrough, switch off the auto-pilot and open your eyes to reclaim your power and brilliance.

What will you get out of participating in this workshop?

Uncover the Shadow that keeps you stuck in the past.

Embrace the power of your true authentic self.

Learn to move through and beyond your fear.

Heal your heart from painful relationships.

Rediscover your passion for life.

Conscious and creative laptop posture

Do you do the following with your laptop? The very –/–\– crooked red lines –/–\– tell a sad story and will guarantee you endless treatments and hefty bills from the chiropractor or osteopath in the future.

On the couch.

The ——- lovely straight great green lines ——- carry the message: PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE! Prevention is also better for your bank account.

It’s all about the right angles!! Remember to try keep everything at right angles, or get as close to them as possible and your posture will always be good.

Use some books to raise your laptop.

Prop yourself up with some pillows for a straighter back.

Remember to drop your eyes down instead of bending your neck.

Or purchase a notebook stand or platform.

Use a tray on the books so you can use your mouse.

Blokes: It’s especially important for you to not have you laptops directly on your laps.

At the table.

Put a pillow behind you for a straighter back

A solution from a Time Online article.

If you’re referring to books, create yourself a book stand. Be creative and think about what your body is doing.

We lead very sedentary lives so remember to move your body about every 40 minutes. And of course, go for the occasional massage so the tension from repetitive posture patterns can be released.

Here are some more tip from the NHS.

Or purchase a notebook cooler or riser.

Fluid Fascia and the Energy Body Workshop

Date: May 22nd 2010
Time: 9.30am for 10am start – 6pm
Location: The Old Chapel, 125 High Street, Marshfield.
Cost: £55

I’m organising a CPD massage workshop for the lovely Susie Legge. If you’re a practitioner and you’re interested in attending, please contact me.

Workshop Outline:
This one day workshop will be an educational and exploratory journey into the most pervasive tissue of the body: fascia. Through meditative awareness and investigative connective touch, we will learn how to recognise fascia, passively stretch it and pave the way for deep trigger point work, free from unnecessary effort or pain.

The day will also include guidance on how to facilitate and support the release of holding patterns in both the physical and energy body.

About Susie:
Susie was first introduced to yoga philosophy and practice at the age of 11 when her parents met their master and trained as yoga and meditation teachers. Nearly 10 years later she began to explore yoga and healing work. Curious about the power of energywork, and fascinated by the workings of the body, she trained in shiatsu and a number of other healing arts, including Ayurvedic,Thai,Tibetan,Western massage and reflexology.

For the last 13 years, Susie has worked, studied and travelled around India, South East Asia, Europe and the Americas, sharing what she learns as she goes. She currently spends her winters teaching yoga and massage in India and the summers in Europe where she leads yoga retreats and massage training workshops.
