Dimensions of the Self
 
As we move through this thing called life we are given labels.  Labels of what role we are playing at any particular moment.  At any given time we may be a student, babysitter, committee member, sorority leader, receptionist, assistant, college student, server, attorney, doctor, triathlete, teacher, retail sales clerk, wife, manager, husband, coach, mother, father, author, PTA chair, soccer coach, bus driver, entrepreneur, retired executive.  You get the picture right?  There are so many things we call ourselves.
 
These are all just dimensions of our self.  (our smaller self that is) Some of these labels will stay with us but some will abruptly end.  And when they do, we must let them go.  Why then do we cling to them when the end?  When we lose a job or end a relationship for example.  Do we cling to them out of fear?  Maybe.  Maybe we are afraid of what is yet to come.  We ask "Who am I if I am not a ....." whatever the label is at that time.
 
What if we could let go of those labels that no longer define us?  And at the same time, recognize those that will be around a good long time.  But still not be completely defined by them.  Because who we are really isn't any of those labels.  We may lose the label of an entrepreneur but we will always be a mother or father.  See the difference?
 
But then who are we really?  Big question isn't it?  How do we know? 
 
I will tell you.  We become still and ask to be awakened to the deepest dimension of our soul.  The most real part of our Self.  (the larger Self that is) We ask to be awakened to beauty, peace, love, joy, compassion, forgiveness....we ask to live from there.
 
And as we ask, so it shall be.  And then those roles, those labels, float in and out of our lives effortlessly.  We are able to be a mother without losing our Self.  We are able to let go of labels that no longer define who we "are".  We are able to open up to the next stage of our evolution without resistance or fear because we know who we Are.

Ask yourself today, who am I really.  What part of me is just a superficial, temporary dimension?  What part of me is a lasting dimension?  And what part of me is real and deep and authentic? 
 
Live from there - it's whole and true.

Life Transforming Workshop
 
Sunday, October 18, 2009chakras-2
9:00am - 4:00pm - $159
 
Take an inner journey and awaken yourself to the tools you have within - renew your mind, body and your spirit. 
 
What is a Chakra you may ask?
 
When you try something new you may feel butterflies in your stomach.  Try to communicate and you might get a lump in your throat.  Fall in love and your heart may leap with joy or fear.  These are all ways your Chakras communicate with you about how you feel.
 
Learning to listen to the signals from our Chakras allows us to connect and be aware of how we can bring balance to all the very real parts of our being that are affected by our Chakra System. When we respond positively to those signals - we can maximize the positive effects our Chakras can have on our life.
