In many of my workshops, I ask the participants, "Where in your body does your core strength live?" I am used to getting many blank looks when I ask that question. It requires getting out of the head (hint: it's not in there!) and into the body through the breath. After doing this, a new level of awareness appears in the room.

Try this now: Close your eyes, take three deep slow breaths and sink into the center of your body. Notice what happens. You may notice that your perspective shifts (where is that center anyway?), your awareness increases, and voila! You are further along the path to discovering your core strength.

If you don't know where your core strength resides, how could you ever be expected to access it and bring it out into the world?

The answer to my opening question is accessible to every single one of us! No one is exempt due to gender, age, body type or disability. We all have a core that is power packed, alive, juicy and more than willing to clue us in. The location is different for everyone, but we all share the gift of being able to access it through the magnificent channel of never ending information, the body.

Learn how to live from your core by taking part in a coaching circle, attending a free talk, or by creating a one-on-one relationship with Stephanie. Give yourself the gift that lasts a lifetime as you create the space to live in a way that mirrors who you really are at the core.

Fall, the season of change, is just around the corner. It is the perfect time to succumb to the whispers or screams of change that have been either seducing or threatening you as of late (all depending on your perspective of course). No matter what path you are on, change can be daunting!

Discover how to make a clear choice about what change you are willing to embrace, what promise it holds and how you are willing to engage with it.

Are you all too familiar with the "blahs"? For those of you who are not, they are moments or days when you feel emotionally stagnant, physically unaware or depressed. One of the most effective ways to move the blahs to another stratosphere is to get up and move your physical body.

Try this the next time you experience that non-feeling state: Drag yourself to the nearest CD player and play a piece of music that inspires you. Cuban, African, Rock and Roll, Classical - it doesn't matter. It just needs to inspire you.

What wants to move? Trust the wisdom of what unfolds. Put your head on the proverbial shelf and feel into your feet. Feel where and how they touch the earth. Exaggerate your feelings of stuckness. Where do you experience the blahs in your body? Let your feet direct the movement in your knees, feel your hips move from your feet, your chest, your hands, and only then invite your head to the dance. After movement, space is created, things open that were once closed, and you have re-entered the only home you can truly call your own.

Now, move about your day and notice what feelings arise, keeping the question alive: "What does it mean to live from this body?"

This is not a thinking question. Come from your core and move, and then sit down and write what you discover. Happy reuniting with the power that is YOU!
