"BABIES" and "Stories"

For Mother's Day and for my Mom's birthday, I took my parents to see the movie "Babies" in Lititz, PA after they took me to see "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" at the Ephrata Playhouse in the Park (Ephrata, PA)... What an utterly sublime day! Considering that I became a first-time mother at the ripe old age of 44, I feel blessed to take part in this holiday. Doubly blessed because I do appreciate my mom in a way that I never dreamt possible! Thanks, Mom, for sticking it out with me all these crazy years!

      In the Focus Features' movie, "Babies," the viewer is shown the lives of four different infants, from birth until their first birthday. The babies came from 4 visibly unique environments: Mongolia, USA, Japan, and Namibia.  From my perspective, certain conditions seemed incredibly harsh or severe, and others seemed overly pampered or were loaded with stimulation. In spite of the apparent disparities, I kept on noticing just how amazing it is that all four children, no matter where they were born or how they were raised, still made it somehow! And that is true for all of us too. What then, gets in the way of us totally "getting it" that we are all One and that outward appearances or circumstances are just that... outward. A story we tell ourselves about something that did or didn't happen.

What I am learning from the Path of XPR is how to get beyond "our stories"... "I was raised in ___ environment." "He was born with a silver spoon." "She should have more __". "I didn't get that when I was a kid so why should I give that to my child?" "Why can't I ever get enough...."

Are you ready to go beyond your story? Would you like to start now? Contact us and set up a lovely, complimentary, one-on-one personal Path of XPR assessment and see what develops! Call 201-487-6910 or email us at
verena@vibrantcoach.com.

CAT DIARY
 
Day 983 of my captivity.
 
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
 
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.  Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.  The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.  
 
In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
 
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.
 
I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of..  However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am.
 
Bastards!
 
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight.  I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event.  However, I could hear the noises and smell the food..
 
I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.'  I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
 
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking.  I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.
 
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.
 
The dog receives special privileges.  He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return.  He is obviously retarded.
 
The bird has got to be an informant.  I observe him communicate with the Guards regularly.  I am certain that he reports my every move.  My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.  For now...

Cat

Keynote: Mystery, Magic, and Independence.
Cycle of Power: Nighttime

Because the dark is the home of fears and those things humans do not want to see and can't see, the cat has come to be associated with magic and mystery. The truth is that cats have more rods in the retinas of their eyes, which enhances light perception. It enables them to see effectively in the dark. Whether domesticated or wild, anytime a cat becomes predominant, look for magic and mystery to come alive.

NEWS FLASH! Verena, a licensed XPR Advisor and Integrity Coach, is offering Empowering Now LLC's Introductory Teleclasses related to their cutting edge Course entitled "The Path of XPR... Nature's Path to Let the Integrity of a Higher Power Bloom in You."


Join us for a free introduction to the Path of XPR (XPR is the evolution in Roman script of the Hebrew word for "sound, number, letter, light!")! Our time together is going to be highly interactive, lively, fun, and revealing. Please bring an open mind and/or your most skeptical questions. There is no preparation required for this event. The Path of XPR - to emPower you to receive, develop and maintain the state of mind where all things are possible. For starters, do you identify with any of the following tribes?

 

  • Business & Political Leaders: Are you called to make a difference as a business executive, a humanistic politician, or a governmental leader? Do you wish to bring forward a company, government and/or world that would operate from the heart instead of defending separation or scarcity? Are you seeking a sustainable solution to bridge the haves and have-nots and to constructively address societal health care and employee productivity issues?
  • Communication Wizards: Are you a life coach or an executive coach? Might you be a genius at helping others, yet not quite complete on the path of helping yourself? Are you an artist painting, dancing or singing the divine? Does the level of service you provide to your clients absolutely demand that you would come from your centre of authenticity and "be the change" yourself?
  • Global and Ecumenical Professionals: Are you called to be a preacher, a rabbi or a minister, a consciousness guru, a political or vegetarian activist, an ecumenical executive, a non-profit leader, or a global philanthropist? Are you devoted to bringing forward a new world based on good will to all? Are you passionate about serving a "green" mission of love, community and/or global awakening?
  • Spiritual Seekers: Have you been pondering for a while now the BIG questions of life-who am I, where do I come, what shall I do, where am I going? Are you naturally attracted to topics such as cosmology, quantum and/or noetic sciences, holistic arts and transformation? Do you have a regular meditation practice, yet still have complaints?

Why am I, Verena, an XPR advisor?

Why am I an XPR Advisor? (XPR is the evolution in Roman script of the Hebrew word for "sound, number, letter, light!) Because the time is ripe! There WAS a time when I thought I knew it all. I knew what you were going to say before you said it, I knew what I was going to say before I opened my mouth. Everything was premeditated in my life

: my choice of location, husband, career, childless marriage, body, soul. Until Mahalene Louis's path and mine crossed in 2004, I had been seeking. My path took me from Karachi, Pakistan, to East Orange, NJ, Philadelphia area, PA, the Washington, DC area, to Houston, Texas, to eastern Berlin, and back to NJ.

A pivotal moment in my life came in the 9th year of my first marriage to someone 14 years my senior. I was on Rotary Foundation Group Study Exchange (GSE) from Houston to eastern Germany. "The Wall" had just come down. While flying over the Atlantic Ocean, I had an epiphany: I suddenly "saw" in my mind's eye a hand closing in on me, trying to snuff out my inner flame! In an instant, I realized that I had been holding my breath for years, had turned myself inside out in order to please someone else, and was still waiting to find joy and happiness, professionally and personally. I was in a really tough place: although I knew I was miserable, I was too scared to face the reality of a failed marriage and too scared to be on my own again.  I saw how my marriage was a way to put my life and myself on hold. Not only had I constructed a body to match my bodybuilding husban

d's expectations, I had ended up constructing a matching façade to my soul, a façade that aimed to please. After countless years of marriage to my pretenses and my fears, I felt controlled by self-doubt. I was not the confident global businesswoman that I was trying so hard to be, that I had dreamed to be.

So, here I was, Mid-Atlantic, having this moment of clarity shouting inside me: "take care of your flame; take care of YOU!" "But how?" was the question. Within 3 months I had changed continents and found an internship at a newly created division of the German government. All with only 40 hours of German language training! I did well for a few years until I let fear in the door again and found myself leaving everything behind, again, for a new love that lived in New Jersey. I worked in the areas of international marketing, cross-cultural consulting and training, metaphysical jewelry sales, and finally coaching. I was remarried, had survived numerous miscarriages, and gave birth to a healthy baby girl when I was 44.

Five years ago, Mahalene came to my "Top Ten Tips to Writing a Top Ten" teleclass. She had called me afterwards and I ended up hiring her as my coach! I began the extraordinary process of delving into my uninvestigated beliefs and reliance on "my story". Through Maha's experiential and cutting edge global cosmology known as the Path of XPR, I have since personally experienced profound transformations in every area of my life. Suddenly my focus is no longer on what I can get or how to control others through people-pleasing. Since I have come to enjoy the freedom that comes from letting go of attachments to outcomes, things, stories, i

dentification with my body, to bad news, or even to the idea of  "this is good," "this is bad" kind of thinking, I have found the inner courage and vision to follow my heart. I am now in the process of dissolving my second marriage and marveling how the way is being cleared for my daughter and I to take the next step into the future, being 100% certain (having 100% faith) that we will be taken care of 100%! Now I have the privilege of empowering my own clients as we explore the world of the visible and invisible via the Path of XPR. What a blessing to guide others on their journey of transformation, as I am being guided and led by the heART, too!

My search is over! Maybe yours is too!
