Soul Coaching

cards by Denise Linn

Today's card is

Breakthrough

"I soar into limitless love, light, and joy!?

Card meaning: You're at the precipice of a huge, positive breakthrough! Everything that you've been doing for the past few years has been preparing you for this time. An immense self-realization is on its way. Something for which you've waited a long time is about to come to fruition!

More then ever do I believe that my soul knows how to heal itself.

I went in for my six month check up, blood tests and the results.

NORMAL!!!

Everything came up, went down, and all landed in the normal column.

I am no longer "pre-" anything.

So, what do I think of my card today....spot on once again.

I have been pushing myself to become more physical and strong. I started yoga, and swimming. Kerry and I signed up to walk 5K's this summer.

Kerry and I at the Freedom 5K Run, I came in 12 in my age group, Kerry was 4th.

 

Little did I know that all of this was just a prerequisite for the

"Lazyman Triathlon".

Sarah and I will be adding Run/walking 26.2 miles, swimming 2.5 miles, biking 112 miles,

to our yoga routine for the month of July.

Sarah and I racking up the walking miles on our way to yoga

Your Soul wants you to know: Fruit drops from the tree when it's ripe, flowers open to the day when the sun rises, and a bird's egg cracks open when it's time. Everything that you've been doing has prepared you for the coming breakthrough. Quit standing on the cliff wondering what you should do. Jump off.

Yes, trust in your soul, get past the fear and do it anyway. It helps to have a partner when you are daring to do things you only thought you could daydream about. It doesn't matter that I have to go to the chiropractor each week, that I must sit on ice, heat, and use a TENS unit. It doesn't matter that I wrap and rub and limp along some days.
What matters is I show up. I prepare, I plan, I'm positive.
Oh, don't get me wrong, there are some days that my family believes in my ability more then I do. 
Thanksfully,  they wait patiently for me to catch up to their faith in me.
I'm grateful for my family, my instructors and my friends.
" Everything that you've been doing has prepared you for the coming breakthrough. "
Yes, and my preparing has taken me the last 2.5 years!!
Keep moving forward, Keep a smile on your face, there will be set backs, Keep your goals in front of you, and share them.

Are you feeling inside the circle, or do you hang outside the circle?

 

Blue Monday

Blue Monday, circles, by artist

Jean Hart

 

Circles, awe, what can I say about circles?

Circles are everywhere, mostly circles are about cycles. No ending, no beginning......

But not when you paint them. There is a beginning, and hopefully the ending,  if your lucky will match up with the beginning again.

Are you feeling inside the circle, or do you hang outside the circle?

My circle, your circle, inside the circle of trust, circle of friends....it goes on, on, and on....

Beware of running around inside the circle's, because a circle once inside can trap you in and hold you there.

I have painted a lot of circles. When I went through a period of mandala paintings. All the mandala paintings are circles.

Circles will make you crazy, but Mondays will make you manic.

Blessed....What are merciful actions?

HEALING.....

SOMETIMES IT TAKES

EVERYONE TO HELP.

I was given a set of healing cards. They are so beautifully written.

By Caroline Myss and Peter Occhiogrosso

After I have pulled a card and sat with it for awhile, I like to try to give images to the words.

"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Mercy is a rare word, one hardly spoken. What are merciful actions?

Not judging another; speaking with kind words;

thinking compassionate thoughts about others.

May acts of mercy

come your way.

The first saying, from Psalm 41 of the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament, offers an astute psychological insight that is recognized increasingly today. Absorption in our own troubles, or in our unending need for gratification, creates a negative momentum that can lead not only to Narcissus, but to addictive and high-risk behavior as well. When we move the focus of our attention from ourselves to others, we also remove an enormous burden from our backs. The need to satisfy our unrealistically high expectations. As the Dalai Lama might put it,

 compassion is its own reward."

Well, there is it. So well put that I can not offer another word.

The Month of May, Guess who's birthday it is on the 18th?

 

May's Aspects

 

May Flowers, acrylic, Jean Hart

I love May.

Tulips are coming up and I even see green grass!!

The month of May was named after the goddess Maia, the goddess of spring, she who brings forth life. Appropriately enough, it became the month of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God.

Full moon aspect: Hare moon or frogs return moon.

Universal event: Flowers coming forth, the potential for creation of the new harvest.

Communal event: the May Eve festival initiates this month, but no other Sabbaths occur. This is still a month for chastity and cleaning up one's life. Making trysts, commitments, or marriages is not allowed, because the month of the queen of May is unlucky for tying the knot.

Message: To propagate or not, to enjoy sex or be celibate. your choice.

activity: Sexual encounters or complete abstinence

Healing properties: Fevers and infections.

Color: Hazel, pink

Tree: Hawthorne

Flower: Lily

Creature: Magpie, dove

Gem: Emerald

From:The Grandmother of Time

May is also the month that I will be participating in an

Invitational art exhibit.

Highland Estates, May 10 - 18, 2013

Just one more fun little bit before I leave you to plan your month of May.

May 18, Feast of Pan, (Greek)

On this day, women and men celebrate men.

Pan is all that is male in the universe. Pan is represented by a wild, but good-looking man, not your deodorized modern type. He has hooves because many of the male animals he represents in nature have hooves. He has horns for the same reason: He is hairy, and he usually sports an erect penis. He plays the flute divinely. He is the son of the Earth. He is not a patriarch who oppresses women. He is, however, all male.

Pan likes parities with wine, song, and women. Invoke him in some wild place or burn patchouli on your altar in his honor. He is not that of a warrior but of the lover. Give a party for men today. Let the men define this,

What is manhood without violence or competition?

Well, I do love Greek mythology. There is another Greek story I love, you can visit my blog for that one. Psyche and Eros

SOUL COACHING DAY 28

SOUL COACHING

DAY 28

EARTH WEEK

Today is the last day......it's been a great 28 days.

I'm just a bit sad....but then again, so many things have changed.

The last day was awesome.

Creating a circle of love, preparing a alter, and, finding my center.

If I was to pick the best week, I could not. Each week delivered its own challenges and surprises.

I grew leaps and bounds.

Earth week came with the most important career decisions and opportunities.

Having gone through the first weeks allowed for me not to panic and make a sound decision. One that really reflected me.

Today's affirmation

"I give love deeply and fully. I receive love deeply and fully. My essence is love."

I asked that I could open myself up to trust more, live fuller, and love completely.

New people came, old ones left and those who are still standing at the sidelines are still waiting for something to happen.  They missed it!!!

I sent my postcards to France for the mail art exhibit, "How Do You See Disabilities in the World?'

Looking back on the time of my injury give  me so much to be grateful for. While I'm not yet where I once was, I am no longer as disabled as I once was either.

Reminding myself everyday that my life is getting better, healthier, happier and stronger.

On this last day of Soul Coaching, I did level 3

Go to the Center of Your Being.

Honestly, it's long, so here is my take on it.

Put the music on LOUD, MOVE YOUR BODY, ROUND AND ROUND, SHAKE, DANCE, AND FEEL THE RHYTHM OF THE MUSIC.

Then stop, turn the music off, close your eyes, and go to the center of your being.

Feel all the emotions of the last 28 days, all the feelings, and all the coincidence's you have had.

You made it through what I think was a very intense 28 days of soul coaching.

From Day 1 to Day 28

I can see the transformation.

I loved this book.

How Do You See disability in the World? Mail Art exhibit

How Do You See Disability in the World?

I just sent out my postcards for this mail art exhibit in France.

The Brain;
Jean's Health Journal
Everything is connected and run by the brain.
It is the brain that's sends messages to all parts of the body by way of the nerves.
But, and this is where I'm at, if the vertebrae are out of place, the nerves will be injured, and that means the brains messages can not get through. No messages, no life energy and dis--ease will happen....Pinched nerve, back pain, sickness.....the list goes on and on, you get the messages.

 

The Girls,


I have invited the Angels, Guides, and all healers into my life to help heal me. These are the top charka Girls.

... "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable." Helen Keller.

Now I ask, with all she had to endear How did she keep such a positive attitude?
I will be reading more of her story and words of encouragement

Plugged In,

I listen to Meditation tapes by Glenn Harrold. I recommend all of his tapes. Since I am on a healing path, my routine is 10min walking, 20min ice and 40 min rest I have lots of time to listen to these tapes. I draw these pictures free hand and when they are done I try not to be to critical because these are not meant to be professional pieces sold or exhibited. But because I'm healing and these are emotional I can look at them and see that I am off balance. As an experiment it will be interesting to see how they develop in the next 10 weeks.

 Looking up!! from my health journal Those who know me know how lucky I am. How I find lucky pennies all the time. Well yesterday I saw a penny and could not pick it up, no bending ya know, so I had Kerry pick it up for me......Later Matt said, "Maybe it's time to start looking up!!!" I just love the way he thinks.~Jean

 Meet The Guys
colored pencil,
Since my back problems come from L4 and L5 this is the lower part of my spine I have created a Chakra system for them. Meet my healers,
In The Hindu Chakra system Red, is the color for the Root, Base of spine, What it Governs is the will to live, connections to the body and the physical plane. spiritual lesson, How to function in the material world.
Orange, Sacral, Groin, It concerns itself with, Emotions, sexuality, and its spiritual lesson is Manifestation in the world.
Yellow Solar plexus, Navel It governs Personal power, autonomy, and its lesson is Love of Self.
Lots of things to think about!!!

Essential Oils,
I have lots of these. They are part of my meditation routine. My favorite one right now is Texas Cedar wood, for strength. — at Healing journal.

 

Time to heal my knees too

 

Here's what you don't know about having a lower back injury. YOU CAN'T BEND FORWARD!!! Now just think about all the things you do bending forward!!! Seems I can't hang on to anything either and everything is falling to the ground. So when I drop something I say "Darn I dropped that!!!" and move on. I cant bend forward to pick it up.......from my journey of transformation to good health ♥♥♥~Jean

Soul Coaching, Earth week, day 27

Soul Coaching

day 26
Earth Week

See I told you I was alittle pale looking this week.

 It's only 9:30 and I'm flying around already!!! I 'm cleaning up the house, making lists, shopping for my party tomorrow night......Mary Kay party.....

Earth Week has shaken me up a bit. I'm feeling better and that's good. Still on ice and my massage was canceled, :-(( so I'm working out the kinks myself.

Today is one of my favorite days. Creating a home for the Soul.

 My assignment for myself today is looking up URN's. Yes, that's right. It will be the home of my ashes, not my soul. But I want to pick it out and save it for when I need it later......:-)).

Level 2 assignment is to create a place in your home for your soul. That means find a place in your home that is just for you.

Day 27

I was so busy yesterday that I had to stop blogging.  And so now I'm onto day 27.

This week has been amazing. Totally amazing!!!

I'm feeling better, and what still hurts I can deal with.

Unbelievable opportunities have opened up for me this week. I almost missed them because I didn't want to be bothered. There's a lesson in that I'm sure.

Today on this 27th day I'm feeling optimistic about everything.

Today is about creating a Fabulous future.

I wrote down 10 things down that I want in my future. Some I have been working on for awhile but the timing is now.

A great question my son Matthew came up with and asked me is.

"What will you do today to make you happy in the future?"

It goes so perfectly with today. That is why I'm feeling so good. I feel like YES, I am on the right  path. Finally, things are being brought together and my ideas are starting to find a home.

Today's affirmation;

"My future is filled with love, joy, and peace!"

I have a new calmness to me. Here's the thing, I have ideas, maybe 1000 a day. I have a notebook I write them all in. Not all are great or even doable. But, I write them in anyway. The second part is making a plan to execute them. And that is what today is all about.

So today, "Act today in accordance with whom you desire to be tomorrow. Tomorrow's future is being created today, and today is yesterday's future...."

I so love this book, Soul Coaching, 28 days to discover your authentic self, by Denise Linn.  

I'm thinking of creating a little workshop to engage other women to join in to create their own authentic self.

I plan on calling this group, a safe place to share, encourage, inspire women to be the best selves they can be.

"The Invisible Women Club"

What would you do if you were not invisible?

Personable, I have felt invisible for many years. Even though I am active, available, and involved. There are many things I have not done simply because I did not have the courage to do so. It is time to act like a Visible Women.

 

I invite you to join in with me.

Blue Monday, Earth Day

Blue Monday

 

In this blue Monday I see a beauty,

she shines her smiling face to me,

open your heart and share her works,

embrace her spirit, her vision, her earth.

Her hues are many and her energy grand,

all your have to do is look up and smile back.

A gift she gives, a painting of her own,

Be blessed and spread her works on this

coming earth day.

Earth Week, Day 23 useing the physiology of your body

 

 

EARTH WEEK

DAY 23

 

 

Earth week has been about being more connected to your body....and this week end my body has let me know its, hurting, tired and sick. I've have spent the last two days in bed with the flu. Or at least that is what I thought it was. Could it be that doing this Soul Coaching is truly affecting me. I do the activities, write in my journal and my joy book. Attending to my health is a daily thing.

So this week end my body wanted to detoxify. So I let it.

I'm reading this very interesting book called, "Calling  Invisible Women". By Jeanne Ray

It has brought up a lot of interesting points.

What super power would you want if you can have one?

Being Invisible!!

Now, really, stop and think this one through. Not all people can be invisible. It just would not work.

Would you really want to listen to someones conversation????

Can you think of ways to help yourself, and help humanity?

What would you be doing if no one was watching you?

Interesting....live like no one can see you.

How many women or people already feel invisible and are not?

Okay, so today in Earth week,

Today;

carry yourself as if an incredible life force and confidence was flowing out of every pore of you body.

Ask yourself, What does my body say about me?

I know that I must move everyday. Not just the little walks around the house cleaning, but really moving. It is the only way I'm going to get healthy again. And when I don't move. I get so stiff and everything hurts.

I'm not sure how this happens but if you change your body, by moving, eating better, detoxing, you will change your life.

So, if you can remember sometime today so lift your head up, bring your shoulders back your life message will be better too.

If you wanted to continue Level 3: Rejuvenation Time. That is simply to remember that all of these changes takes energy. Even the smallest change in routine will spend energy.

Don't get so caught up with making changes and busying yourself that you do not take some time to reflect and relax.  Your body needs this too.

No picture of me on this day.....detoxing, and being sick is not the way I want to be seen.

EARTH Soul Coaching

EARTH

SOUL COACHING

I'm doing this little book by

Denise Linn

 

good morning,,,,this is me, even before my first cup of coffee.
 

 

 

Be Courageous...
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
~ Anaïs Nin ~ This is my last week on this program. I'm just a bit sad to see it come to an end. But as I read the introduction I see I have no time for that..

Earth week, Clearing your physical self.

This comes just in time for me to paint my next painting for the Element Show, "Earth".

 

There will be no time to rest during this week it looks like. While I am still cleaning, with all the home machines running. I just finished cleaning, decluttering under my bathroom sink. YUCK!!!! why do I keep everything that comes to me...half used bottles of shampoo, old bars of soap, I must have found 5 hairbrushes, a curling iron, I've never used, some other mysteries tubes of  creams!!!

Which brings to mind the question, "Do you ever look in someones medicine cabinet when you use their bathroom?"   Well, it's all cleaned up and out now.

 For the next seven days, focus on the physical nature of your environment.

During Earth week,

Become more connected to your body. (I looking for a STRETCH CLASS, not yoga though."

Attend to your health, (I made many Dr. Appointments)

Detoxify your body.( learning to drink lemon water)

Understand how to use your body's physiology. ( exercising)

Connect more fully with nature.(watered my plants)

Create a home for your soul.( OK, strange as this sounds, I want to make my own urn.)

Take action for a positive future.

Today is day 22, Earth, Connecting with your body.

Affirmation for the day

"I am one with the earth. I am one with my body."

There is a long list to help with making an accurate body assessment,

After I went through this list I discovered that YES, it was time to get physical and take action to take care of my body. So, Dr. appointments were made.

Eye, Dentist, Gynecologist, Monogram, Dermatologist.

Here's something  fun,  I called my Mary Kay associate and planned a party for next week.

We will have fun food, wine and girl time.

Facials, and make up expert advice.

I'm also making a promise to myself to regularly take my blood presser to keep on top of that too.

That's filled up my calendar for this week,

Have fun with this.

Soul Coaching has been a great help for me.

I welcome you to join in with me.

Soul Coaching, Fire week

FIRE!!!

Soul Coaching book by Denise Linn

what I thought was going to be a fun week, so Denise says in the first pages of fire week, and I quote from the book, "Have Fun!"

Well, yes I did have fun, and I did get organized and yes I did create some awesome artwork. But, I would like to also say, "What a crazy week!!!"

Facing my shadow self was not fun, she came at me from no where and held on to me for the entire week.

Examining my fears, was no surprise except to learn that I have passed a few of them and left them behind. That was fun to know.

Changing my routines and habits. Oh, fun, fun, fun. New hair style, new ways to wear a scarf, and considering a new decorating scheme.

But the image of pretending  "your dead"...well, interesting, hance the back of my head picture. Because of that days activity, I made a "will". Guess who's getting my cat's?......You will just have to wait until my will is read.

This week too, I finished my 'FIRE" painting for the element art exhibit.

It's been a big week, lots of things got done.

Still cleaning, clearing and I have a to do list that has tripled.

Before and After  and now you can really see my vision for Paris.

Last day of FIRE, I look pretty good. May I just say, not so easy taking picture of yourself. I'm just saying....I love my kindle.

I love this little book. Make no mistake in thinking that these little activities are easy. They are anything but easy and some are more time consuming then others.

Join me in this little book,

Technical Tuesday

Technical Tuesday

The days are getting longer and as they do I want to be outside more and more. That means that I have less time in the studio. I have found that if you make a committment to a regular time to do your exercises this time  while become time you look forward to and enjoy.
Today we will be drawing a parrot, by Eileen Sorg.

Apply yellow around the eyes and beak. fill in the pupils and other areas of the eyes with a dark, warm gray, leaving highlights in each eye. Apply this color over the beak, varying the pressure and leaving some areas white to suggest shape. Also stroke in the darks around the beak and within the feathers.

Fill in the irises with red-orange. Then apply bright green to most of the feathers and deepen the beak with black.

fill in the rest of the feathers with teal, overlapping the bright green in places. fill in the pupils cleaving highlights and the holes above the beak with black.




Blue Monday

Blue Monday

The paintings for Blue Monday, are not always blue in color, some are blue in mood or texture,

This little painting of a burned tree in the marshes made me sad, but too it reminded me of this poem.

Enjoy,

~Jean

 

Trees and Men

 

The tree that didn't have to fight,

for sun and sky and air and light,

But lived out on the open plain,

and always got its' share of rain,

Never became a forest king,

But lived and died a scrubby thing.

 

The man who never tasted spoil,

The man who never had to toil,

That never had to win his share

of sun and sky and light and air.

Never became a manly man.

But lived and died where he began.

 

Good timber does not grow with ease.

The stronger the winds the tougher the trees.

The further the sky, the greater the length,

The more the storms, the more the strength.

 

By sun and cold and rain and snow.,

In tree or man good timbers grow,

Where the thickest stands the forest growth

We find the patriarchs of both.

 

Who hold and converse with the stairs,

Whose broken branches show many scars,

of many winds and much of strife,

This is the common law of life,

Og Mandino

Day 16 Fire, shadow self, through the mirror



Fire, Clearing Your Spiritual Self. Yes, I'm going to enjoy this week. Or so I'm hoping....

It's April, not fire season where I live, so for me to focus on fire around me, it will have to be the fire I create. I'm thinking candle, lots and lots of candles.

Sunlight is a form of fire too. So I have opened all the curtains. Letting the light shine in.

This week is focusing on the light and shadows in your surroundings.

During Fire week;

Step into trust and faith.

Meditate on your inner light.

Listen to any inner voices urging you to branch out in a new direction.

Change your routines and habits.

Take risks.

Activate creativity.

Access your spiritual allies.

Face your shadow self.

Examine your fears

HAVE FUN!!

I've made it to day 16. Happy to get out of water and into fire. But, in some way sad that I have not been able to complete all the assignments from the last weeks. I'm still masterfully decluttering my space, and cleaning and shining things. I still have to make an appointment to get my air ducts clean from Air Week, and my bathroom sink is still clogged from water week!!! But I'm moving on to FIRE

Today is about taking risks. "If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten." So, change is in the air all around me.

Affirmation for the day;

"I am free to experience joy in every moment...no matter what is happening in my life."

Today;

constantly ask yourself, "How can I experience even more joy and fun today?" and see what your subconscious comes up with!

FUN, FUN, FUN, yes, I like that.

I went out and bought three scarfs to wear and play with. As you can see in my picture. I'm learning how to tie them in different knots and hanging them with flair.

(looking playful, take practice)

I love to laugh so I looked up fun kitten movies.

This ones cool.

Level 3 today is to Break a Habit

ok, I will break several habits that I'm aware of. I made a list for three things I do each day that I should, Or have known I should be changing.

One day at a time with these , I think they are habits because I enjoy them, but my rational mind knows that they are bad for me.

Three seems like a good number to me. Morning, noon, and night.

Fire, Heartburn, acrly, 36 ' x32

I didn't want to jump into fire to quickly, but so far, I like fire the best.

Have fun today

Meandering....the shortest distance between two points may not always be the straightest line...If you can sometimes its fun to travel on the bumpy, curvey and circle road.....I've changed the color of my first painting with the magic of editing and came up with more sutle tones. earthy tones. Somehow I think it's more interesting then the first orginal painting. But it no longer looks like a rose to me, but earth.

As an artist I draw everyday. My exercises are small. Just something in pencil. These quick studies are not meant to be framed but to loosen up my fingers and hand. I sometimes just start with swirls on the page, lines, criss crosses and when I'm ready I will get out a clean paper and start an exercise.

I like this exercise because circles are hard and the more you practise them the more they become balanced. Do not try for perfection with this exercise, more just let you pencil flow.

• Draw a misshapen circle for the shell; then add the neck, head, and tentacles.
• refine the basic shapes, defining the tentacles and adding the spiral pattern to the shell. Indicate a slime trail.
• continue refining shapes and begin shading, adding radial lines and spots to the shell. Build up the darks, deepening the shading and creating the ridged texture of the shell. And he's off.
• After I completed my exercise I continued by bring in some color with my color pencils.
• Have fun with this.

Where are you now in your life?

Core beliefs about life, rigid rules you have created on your own. I'm not one for going into ones past, but, Denise makes sense when she says, we are what are parent told us we are. Even if you want something different those words you heard while you were young stay with you.

Affirmation for the Day

"I love and accept who I am...and who I am is enough."

Now I'm not going to say I had a bad childhood, or that I was neglected or abused.

In someway I may have had all of that in little doses.

My current thinking is that everyone did the best they could at the time.

Because I love writing and know how powerful words are, I can understand how they sit in your subconscious.

On level one Committed to Change! Be the Sacred Observer.

I sometimes think I don't know what my beliefs are. So today, I will listen to what I tell myself, what are the words I use to describe myself. Listening to the internal dialogue and observe the language and words I use will give me an idea of how I feel about myself and what I believe.

changing your language can change your life.

I am lonely can become I am open for love.

I am exhausted can become I am recharging

I am slow moving can become I move at my own speed.

I am in pain can be my body is telling me something.

I am a bad speller can be I love spell check

my arts not good enough can be you are learning to express yourself better each day.

Today

observe your life while you hold the thought that the events of your life today are neither good or bad, they are just the events of the day. They are only good or bad depending upon the meaning that you give them.

Make a list of your faults, and see how you can turn them into a positive.

Core Beliefs is a notion that you have held so long and repeated so often that it has become entrenched into your subconscious mind.

These things take time to write down and think about, and continue to think of how I am going to change these core beliefs.

I invite you to go through this book with me. I would love to form a support group here.
