I hesitated before publishing this post. As I allowed myself to get curious about my hesitation I realized that when the STRONG impulse moved I wrote without questioning. I initially did not know how to embed this video in the post, so as time went on I fell into the gap of questioning the content and then chose not to post. Then I asked myself the question… If not me then WHO? If I do not take action in my world, who does? If I do not speak, who does? If I do not choose, who chooses for me? So, my friends I choose to post this video and more importantly what it moved inside of me….(see below for my original post).

I watched this short video this morning and allowed what it called up from deep inside me to ripple through the tissue of my Being. I think we are long overdue to call up and OWN, as a Species, that deep visceral CALL in tissue that allows us to move beyond being the indifferent, passive bystandard  in our own lives and in the lives of others that we interact with and witness on a daily basis. I know for me in my own life right now my call is demanding that I be Awake and Aware as I ask myself ‘how do I choose to create my Life today?’

In the past that deep sensation of fire inside of me meant retreat or retaliate (from a place of powerlessness). Know, knowing a different process this same deep in the belly burn allows me to STAND powerfully in the truth of my own experience while you stand in yours, as we each uniquely carve out the worlds we choose to be a part of. I encourage you to watch and share your experience. I know I am moving into my day different then before I watched…

As I consider the upcoming retreat Sekhemt Rising: Daring to Awaken I feel a heat in my body…the FIRE of my Being. A deep, pulsating, unclaimed, wild, searing heat that I know I can welcome and allow to integrate as the Source for my own hunger and as more of my own full expression. Letting go, out of check, that which in the past has been considered my protector and a dangerous weapon in my world…my FIRE. Time to redefine at another deeper level that which I have held to be wildly unpredictable and volatile…especially in the presence of Others in the moment of it’s awakening! I feel tingly even as I write this…

I am eager to spend 4 days continuing to rediscover my ability to SEE, HEAR and SPEAK with conviction, my truth moving through me in the NOW without the filters of my past. Owning the fire of my own transformation! The fire that distinguishes my edges from others and makes me visible! The fire of my own Creation. The fire of my power, my passion and my great Intention for Being. The fire that beacons me to ACT and not be a passive bystander. The fire that warms and invites. The fire that demands and requires choice. The fire that holds the potential to disintegrate what was, making room for what can be…the potential world I KNOW, unfolding as effortlessly or as grinding as I do!

The fire of my deep compassion and caring for that which enhances and sustains life. My ability to nurture. The solid, sturdy edges of the Crucible I AM holding space for the Force of my own chaos- birthing my Creations with unwavering trust in the process of  my becoming. The grace in my ability to soften and surrender. My hunger for wholeness in knowing the full intimate expression of my Being. My unwavering commitment to mySelf. My willingness to unleash, integrate and flow the force of nature I know mySelf to be!

For me, Sekhmet is both my willingness and my ability to BE and hold the Space for the I AM that I am.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Some things bear repeating – and this is one of them.  Given the many and recent postings that speak to violence against women and human trafficking, becoming mindful that we’re choosing is likely, a reasonable conversation for us to reconsider.  Special thanks to Jaime Lowe Roach for reminding us all that there is much more to who we can become, than who we are in the moment.

Settle in with a steaming cup of your favourite brew… and listen to how we get to be who we are – and we’re never stuck there!

Reclaiming Your Self ~ 11/01/06 ~ Penetrating Cultural Coma

As a new year begins, so does the dance of the ‘resolution’ for change. All those promises to ourselves… walking the edge of the sword as we move between giving up the familiar that we see as the cause of the problem, and taking on the unfamiliar in the hope that it will become the solution! Maybe this time, it will last longer than 10 days….

But what about the much bigger picture? What about the world through which we move; the one that has shaped us through family and culturally ingrained beliefs, values and attitudes; and far too often, continues to do so long after we think we are indeed, our own person?

How effective can we be in redesigning our lives if we are unable to see the invisible one that holds such sway over our ability to be true to ourselves?

Join Louise and her guests as they raise the bar on the explorations required to reclaim your Self – awakening to your internal cues and individual intentions in a much larger world profoundly committed to external referencing as the ‘truth’ essential to our survival!

In conversation with: Naomi Irons-Hill and Kae Shelby Roberts – WEL-Systems Institute Affiliates and Certified CODE Model Coaches™ – know the pull of the collective as a challenge to potential.

With differing and unique perspectives, both Naomi and Kae bring the insights and wisdom of their own compelling journeys to shed light on (and bring definition to the recognition of) the ‘invisible presence’ of others in the choices we make for ourselves.

I feel the momentum building in my life, like a launch point from a solid, sturdy platform… It feels as though I AM pulling back on a sling shot, creating the dynamic tension required to accelerate my own evolution! Now to just position and point in the direction that is in alignment with who I AM capable of becoming… and relax into the letting go!

The dynamic tension between past and potential and the invitation to surrender and allow it ALL to unveil the truth of my experience is what weaves the intricate fabric I see and experience as my life…and all that is required is Space, Movement and Flow for what presents in this moment…the rest seems to take care of itself! No effort required…

Being a visionary in my own life demands that I must first let go of the existing reality I have created for mySelf and continue to create my world on a scale and at a magnitude that reflects the expansiveness of who I AM capable of becoming, that is unique to me… it is an intuitive process that draws on the depth of my own wisdom and the only thing that can cloud it is fear. The paradox is the fear only exists in the reality that has become much too small…

Choosing beyond our Limitations to Create Flow

Choice holds the potential to allow us to become the Source for our own ever evolving emerging future, or move us yet again, back into old ways of being that no longer hold life or potential for who we are capable of becoming. The key is to know we have choice and we are choosing our lives in each breath~we are never stuck. Have we noticed the life we are creating and if it reflects who we know ourselves to be in this moment?

Naomi Irons, a WEL-Systems® Institute Affiliate and CODE Model Coach™ is bringing the powerful WEL-Systems experience Engaging and Awakening Others , to New Glasgow Nova Scotia, June 4th-8th, 2012

~ Choose to create a meaningfully sustainable life for your Self ~

This WEL-Systems based experience is a  5 day powerful invitation that dives deep into the systems (family, community, school, religion, work) that have had a profound impact in shaping who and what we are as individuals and as a result, how we see our world from the outside-in and inside-out. These processes birth the external reference point we use to move through our world until we become willing and able to come face to face with ourselves internally, to discover we have the option of a different choice.  READ MORE …
