This last Friday my wife & daughter went to Mexico to spend time with her parents while I stayed at home taking care of the house, our pets, and our chickens. I have made commitments for cleaning the house, getting our finances in order, and aside from that, making time to enjoy life. So aside from making time for hanging out with friends, I’m taking advantage of this time to spread my wings a bit also…

After a dream on Saturday night that set me along a path of self-exploration and expansion, I came across a topic that I wanted to learn more about… Non Violent Communications, and started watching some YouTube videos that next morning about this topic. That next evening I went to learn about Re-evaluation Counseling (rc.org) which was an amazing experience! I’ve always thought I was a good friend and a good listener, but I learned to know my own limitations, i.e. with friends & family who were having crises or deep issues, I never knew what to say besides some words of hope. I had a block, perhaps a typical ‘male’ block, but I never knew what to say! I just couldn’t access those regions within me. Then, through this RC experience the other night I realized that I can channel the years of self-help and counseling that I have received personally towards others to help them find release, and at the same time uplift them and help them feel whole once again. A few days later I applied what I learned to a friend of mine who was revealing some deep, dark fears and self-judgements to me and had a successful discussion with him. Tonight is my 2nd informal class with my friend who introduced me to it and her mentor who’s been doing this for more than 30 years.

On top of this, I’ve been making use of some good quality ‘ME’ time… For a long time I wanted to try making some magic wands, so after carefully choosing some small stones from the local New Age store, I went about finding the perfect stick to make it with, which happened to be from a cedar bush which was recently cut out from my yard. After making this simple wand with a stone and some natural string holding it together, I experimented with making incantations and circular portals that I’d step through. Being a wand of “solution” based on the stone I placed within, I was hoping for more financial and other flow/solutions to come about in my life. Well, interesting things started to happen…

While looking to make some extra money on the side, someone got back to me about doing some technical writing work that may pan out, and another person offered to pay me to write some articles for their website. On top of that I accepted a part-time sales job to help my previous company sell some expensive communications test equipment. Amazing!

To top things off, last night I had my 1st Watsu session and it was incredible!!! If you like massage, you’re going to love this… With eyes closed in warm water your body is gently moved and manipulated in an small swimming pool. Combined with folding, stretching, massage, and various up/down & lateral movements, I felt as if I was flying from time to time and I felt completely relaxed when the session was over. On top of that, the owner & I had a great connection and ended up chatting for more than 2 hours afterwards about various topics and aspirations each of us holds.

It’s been an exhilarating week, and I am very eager to see what else will manifest in my life as a result of my making time for the exploration of new experiences, of my creativity, and most of all for me!
