Hello Bmindful, 

Thank  you for being here. You are our community.

Everyone of you creates the energy of community.

Without you, each one of us is just talking to ourselves.

Though, I do not want to minimize the valuable possibilities of your self talk.

So if what we are doing for ourselves is that vital, what does it matter who else is here? It matters greatly. As we authentically grow, someone somewhere …receives something somewhere … hence the ripple effect. 
I invite you to allow yourself to be you, and share your kind of positivity which helps you in your life do what you do to accomplish anything that matters to you.

Flowing Energy Things just seem to flow forward naturally and with ease. We feel relaxed, confident and life seems easy. Tip #1: Move with the flow and enjoy. Life is sweet.Marlene Lockwood How to Manage Your Energy — or Living in the Flow Blocked Energy Nothing seems to go right. You feel like you are knocking your head against the same old brick wall. It may be your ego getting in the way, that you’ve planned too many things to do in one day, or that perhaps you aren’t headed in the right direction. Tip #2: When your energy feels blocked, step back, breathe deeply a few times and make some space for reflection. Connect with your core center, refocus on your purpose and check how aligned things are with your personal values. Give yourself time to get clear and to let new insights emerge. Expanding Energy This is living in the flow to the max! You are inspired and alive. Your mood and spirits are high. You are passionate about your work. You know you are making a difference. You are creative and insightful. Tip #3: Move forward with your senses wide open‚ you are creating something new. Contracting Energy If your energy is contracting you may be doing something that is not serving you. You may be going against your values. Perhaps there is something in the environment that doesn’t honor or respect you. Your mood can grow darker by the day. You may even begin to feel small. Tip #4: Stop what you are doing. Look at the situation and ask yourself, “Is this where I belong?” “Does this work support my values?” “Do I need to make a request?” “Do I need to change directions sooner than later?” Don’t rush. Be patient and let go of any judgment of yourself or others. Just listen, and let your body‚ your deep sense of wisdom‚ inform you. Bouncing Energy You are doing more than one thing at a time. You are going here, going there and going everywhere, trying to do it all. Or the energy is internal, showing up as busy mind talk. Either way, you find yourself forgetting important things and nothing seems to be getting done as you would like it. You feel irritated with yourself! Tip * #5: Stop what you are doing. Find good Mother Earth, take your shoes off and connect with the ground beneath you. Now raise your arms to the sky, feeling the energy from the heavens flow through your body, out through your toes, deep down into the earth and then back again in reverse. This is a body practice taken from Qi Gong and Tai Chi. Next, take a few deep breaths, let out a few sighs, and take a moment to ask yourself what needs to be done first. Flat Energy It’s hard to even get out of bed. You have no motivation or drive. You feel like you do not have direction in your life. You may even feel a deep sadness or lethargy. Maybe you are in an in-between-space, where nothing new has revealed itself. Or perhaps you are inadvertently moving away from your passion. Tip #6: It is time to be patient and to focus on taking good care of yourself. Eat well, get enough rest and get outdoors where the power and energy of nature can gradually heal and empower you. Be open to what is new or trying to emerge. Give yourself time to gain clarity about what is next for you. You have the answers within. They will reveal themselves. Writing in your journal will help you get in touch with the wisdom you hold within. Summary Living is the flow is about taking life as it comes. Too often we see it as wrong when our energy is not what we think it “should” be. Overreacting this way only creates resistance that further blocks our progress. Fighting this way may bring us success, but eventually only drains us. If we use the river as a metaphor for life, we know we will have smooth waters, flowing waters and a few rapids here and there. There are obstacles in the river, rocks, tree roots, or other people making their own way. Life is about embracing the river and all its challenges. Sometimes life requires you to take your boat out of the water for a time. Living in the flow is learning to appreciate what is and not to up our energy resisting. When we acknowledge unwanted behavior we consult our own wisdom, so we can continue to be kind to ourselves while gently moving forward with our new insights. My experience is that when I listen to and work with my energy, I know exactly what I need to do … cut hay while the sun shines, take the opportunity to learn something new about myself, or maybe just bask in the Sunlight. What is your energy telling you? ###Reference: Goddard, G. (2006). Gulp.

People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us can come to being happy. _{Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990}

It is as if evolution has built a safety device in our nervous system that allows us to experience full happiness only when we are living at 100%—when we are fully using the physical and mental equipment we have been given _{Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi}

→   I relax and let go - I go with the flow - I am safe in the hands of God  →         →   I am willing to do what needs to be done.  →   Only goodness comes into my life because only goodness is focused upon in my life   →   I am responsible for my own attitude.

→   I let go of all that no longer serves me in a positive manner

→   I take deeper, longer, more relaxed breaths→   Today I ask myself what I need and give generously!

→   Every day I notice positive changes in my mind and my body    →   Who are the people and pathways that spark the most joy for me? What would be the things I'm most proud of, as I lie in bed tonight?   →   Before I go to sleep at night, I lovingly think about an ideal way of my being, purpose and passion for tomorrow.   →   Tonight, as I go to sleep, each breath will put me in a deeper more relaxed state of being.   →   Tonight I choose to cuddle up with a good prayer.   →   I will sleep well tonight and succeed in my aim tomorrow   →   My sleep is relaxed and refreshing

My strength lies within my loving and accepting myself.

As I accept this moment, I accept my physical body in that same space and I celebrate this moment. I embrace all that I sense and feel in my physical body. 

My Being in the moment means that I'm not living in the future or the past. 

This moment is golden...

body

feels like it is gratitude, and appreciation for the wonderful health is is and always will be

It only wants nourishment that matches its good feelings to continue the pattern

spirit  

feels as though it is dancing in perfect rhythm

Gratitude comes from w/ in. Compassion is what we experience for others.

I am grateful for the gifts of Being...

Doing energy work heightens my awareness of my senses and it makes me aware of my surroundings: people, our dwellings, our plants and animals and our physical belongings...

I feel buoyant as I float in an awareness of incredible gratitude for everyone and everything thats a part of my life and my growth.

From my inner child, who loves life, who is awoken to staying up late and enjoying every moment within the 24 hour day... who sleeps like rock... who loves others, including plants, animal and our beloved mineral kingdom, our solar system, and the heavens too!

Thank you life! Thank you for this sweet taste of freedom...

Invite play

It is so important that we enjoy ourselves. Each person has to find out what that means for them

& why

Knowing we have different aspects of our self has us really working on things, doesn’t it? I have found a sudden loss , creates all kinds of spaces for ‘discovery’

Today I listen to whatever my inner kids want to share and I give to them with whatever is needed  kind of care.

I love me and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Question: What is true for me about my energy?

I have learned that I have the ability choose my inner state of Being. 

I have learned that even in times of change and transition, I choose to trust in God and trust in my path. Know that each day is its own gift, it's own bounty. 

The more I chose my inter state, the more I discovered about giving myself whatever I need or want, and choose to experience Being open, Being in each new moment and

In response to ♡ ˚💖Sacred Recalibration's post:

In regard to inner kids, I have learned no matter how many we have (lol)… they need Re-parenting.

They need to be negotiated with.

Why … they may know what they feel and what they would like, though they are also children. And we know quite a bit… and while working with our feelings… we can teach our inner kids just as they have something to teach us.

In response to Joy Grows here's post:

very nice Kathi.

you said :

Choosing to be open is a beautiful topic.

The 7 Vital Connections

1. The Core Connection
2.  The Motive Connection. 
3. The Vision Connection.
4. The Path Connection
5. The Power Connection
6. The Identity Connection
7. The Fulfillment Connection

_quoteThe gap between vision and current reality is also a source of energy. If there were no gap, there would be no need for any action to move towards the vision. We call this gap creative tension. _{Peter Senge}

_quoteWhen all is said and done, the only change that will make a difference is the transformation of the human heart._{Peter Senge}

_quoteThe birth of the de-centered self can be profoundly disorienting, it is transcendental and often involves a heightened sense of awareness and connection. The analytical ‘localized’ self can find it fragile, frightening and impossible to grasp…There is a sense of being present to what is seeking to emerge, with intentionality. If you follow your nature enough, if you follow your nature as it moves, if you follow so far that you really let go, then you find that you’re actually the original being, the original way of being. The original being knows things and acts, does things in its own [intuitive?] way. It actually has a great intention to be itself, and it will do so if you just let it _{Peter Senge}

_quoteThe fundamental difference between creating and problem solving is simple In problem solving we seek to make something we do not like go away. In creating we seek to make what we truly care about exist _{Peter Senge}

4.What do you do when life hurts?

Good question, oh yeah I created that lol 😂 

Anyway, definitely a good question for me. 

• I acknowledge my pain, I do not avoid. I have learned getting busy with something to avoid a feeling is a temporary fix, and it the issue will find a way to entertain me again.
• I allow compassion for myself
• Accept. Acceptance doesn't have to mean I am enjoying it
• I pray …surrender and surrender some more
• I write. Writing - affirming …all huge!
• then I get into a multitude of tools.. though that is where I begin.
• we all have tools so won’t get into all of mine, though these are my basics before proceeding if necessary 
• oh yeah… review if I have eaten healthily and gotten sufficient rest

 

3. When you feel stuck what are some tools you use to feel free to create what you love? What helps you open the door to a beautiful productive awesome day?
