The Mystical Maui Passage

March 5, 2010

I thought I would round out Peaceful Woman week with a post by one of the amazing women who experienced the transformative effects of the Maui Passage for the first time last month, Betsy Muller from The Indigo Connection:

As I return from 7 days in Maui with The Peaceful Woman organization, I am filled with a sense of gratitude for what visionary CEO Cher Bertrand has created. The Maui Passage is a retreat experience that opens, shapes and enhances the soul in ways that a series of healing sessions or day workshops could never attempt to match. This retreat places each participant into a concentrated healing space where experiences, nature, the land, the ancient culture and other women guide you into a state of peaceful authenticity. It is mystical and beyond words.

Herding Butterflies

March 3, 2010

Rachel Flower is one of my colleagues who facilitates Peaceful Woman Maui Passages.  She so eloquently describes the indescribable experiences of Maui Passage in her blog post, Herding Butterflies:

Imagine those deep loving friendships that only grow when you share adventures, take risks together; when you laugh so hard your sides hurt; when you support each other over uneven ground; when you share tears of grief; when you sit together with the hot volcanic stones and burn away the burdens, witnessing and holding each other; when together you walk the labyrinth of consciousness and open to new possibilities; when collectively you swim in the waves of emotion, knowing it is safe to do so, without judgement. Knowing you are loved. You are seen. And doing all this in one of the most beautiful places on the planet!

The War of Art…battling resistance

February 3, 2010

In the theme of Busy Work and Procrastination, (it’s quite a running theme…) here’s a post to help you identify your methods of resistance, and break through your blocks from my friend, Trilby Jeeves.

In the “theme” of just doing it, I’d like to share another book with you called “The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Creative Inner Battles” by Steven Pressfield. In his book, Pressfield discusses all the ways we resist practicing our art, and what to do about it. I squirmed as I recognized myself in many of the varieties of resistance (from procrastination to fantasies to assorted vices to plain old fear).

Check out the whole post here…

Blessings,

Mary

PS. The new meditation is written, watch for the free download available February 22nd!  In the meantime, if you haven’t listened to it yet, download Creating Sacred Space for free here…

Seven Essential Actions

January 15, 2010

This email has been sitting in my inbox, unread, for two weeks.  It’s from a writer I respect very much, Barbara De Angelis.  It was totally perfect timing for me today.

HOW TO MAKE 2010 THE MOST MEANINGFUL YEAR OF YOUR LIFE

PERFORM THE SEVEN ESSENTIAL ACTIONS© ONCE EVERY DAY

  1. Thank someone you would normally not thank.
  2. Express your love in a way that is unexpected, or to someone who is not expecting it.
  3. Honor yourself for something you did today that reflects the best of who you are.
  4. Forgive yourself for something you did today that reflects less than the best of who you are.
  5. Feel compassion for someone you would normally judge.
  6. Notice or experience something as miraculous that you would normally take for granted.
  7. For one full minute, stop whatever you are and be deeply grateful for the gift of this day of your life. During this minute, contemplate the fact that yesterday, approximately 154,300 people on Earth passed from this world, and that even while you are practicing this very sixty seconds of gratitude, 100 souls will leave their physical forms. Send them your prayers as they journey onward. Then, with great joy and humility, proclaim these words out loud:

“TODAY, I AM ALIVE!!”

Words from Spirit

December 30, 2009

Monday nights are coffee nights for me.  It’s social time with my spiritual group.  Being right in the middle of the holidays, there weren’t many of us out this week.  One of my friends was having a difficult time.  At one point I said I wished there was more I could do to help her.  She laughed and said she did too!

On the way home, inspiration struck.  Or my spirit guides or higher self spoke to me, however you want to look at it.  I wrote a guided meditation specifically for her and her recurring challenges.  I wrote it, recorded it, put it to music and had it on a cd in less than 3 hours.  And it is something I have said I wanted to do: write custom guided meditations for people.

As I was looking for inspiring messages to include, I came across a site that I had to share: Words From Spirit. Well, it’s actually part of a bigger site, so feel free to look around more. I know I’m going to.  One piece in particular really spoke to me though.  So I’m sharing it in its entirety.  Thank you, Susan Williams.

The Souls Progression

When the soul is heavy it means progression is near
Hold your own council and listen to the voice within
You ask for guidance but you need it not
Be still and listen to your heart speak
Let the emotion within lead you
The soul knows its journey, let it speak
Don’t deny yourself that which you are, that which you can truly be
Let not fear or doubt veer you off course, give it thought, then dismiss it
Walk your pathway with honour and pride
There are none who should judge you, only yourself
Freedom to be who you are is not bestowed, it just is
In the truth of your being, you will find that which you are
In the freedom of your expression, you let those about you know who you are
The love of God is given to all man
Have faith and trust in who you are
Walk wisely, touch many
Do not be responsible for another, only yourself
The road will ease, the pathway widen
To know the joy, take the pain and anguish
To be who you are not, to be as another would wish you to be, cannot be,
For the soul within you shall live in torment
Find balance and peace within
Go within , grant yourself the love you give to others and return to your pathway, knowing you are on the right road
Walk forward in the knowledge that you are who you are supposed to be
A unique being, a child of Spirit
A soul whose journey shall be never ending
A light that will brighten the path of many, a beacon of God’s love
Go forward knowing you are never alone
Walk on in peace
Shine !!

Free Online Meditation Course

November 26, 2009

The Meditation Society of Australia is one of my favorite meditation sites.  They offer a free online mediation course, and you can subscribe to get daily meditations and words of wisdom emailed to you every day.

Here’s an excerpt about the online course:

Our free online course features a step-by-step guide for people learning to meditate, complete with guided meditation exercises with meditation music that you can download and play. Each free class includes a discussion on a particular spiritual topic and a guided meditation exercise. For members (membership is free) the discussion and exercise are also provided as free radio quality audio mp3 downloads – just click on the link within the classes. Each class is set up for one week, structured for you to meditate and work upon the ideas brought up in the class in your daily meditation. But you can access them all at once if you are on the move and in a hurry to download to your ipod etc.

I encourage you to visit their site, and check out the course, and come back here for more guided meditations, naturally!  I’ll be posting  some new ones soon!

Blessings,

Mary

How to meditate

November 18, 2009

From Angels on Your Shoulder by Susan Gregg

The only way you can meditate improperly is by not giving yourself the gift of meditating regularly. A very simple way to meditate is to sit or lay comfortably in a quiet location. Start by taking a long, slow, deep breath. Gently focus your attention on your breathing; if your mind wanders, just bring your attention back to your breathing.

Need a Quick Time Out?

November 7, 2009

Try “Monotations“.

Spencer Burke has created a series of one image, one word reflections.  His purpose, in his own words, “is to encourage people to take a moment each day to reflect, center and meditate – using a simple image with one word to evoke understanding, love, self-refection, creativity, celebration, integration…”

I love it!  Thank you, Spencer!

Blessings,

Mary

Simple Meditation Tips

November 5, 2009

From 1000 Day Vow:

Starting a meditation practice can sometimes seem intimidating.  A lot of people I talk with think you have to go for hours a day, and you have to somehow be qualified to meditate, and that it’s possible to “meditate wrong.”  None of those are true. Too much baggage, and specialness, has been attached to what amounts to the ultimate in simple practices. From a certain view there is really nothing to it.

Read the whole post…

It really is a lot simpler than you think!

Blessings,

Mary
