Greetings!
Hold onto your horses.
You either know what I mean right now, or you don't.
If you do....hold onto your horses.
Or maybe more appropriately, pay attention to your wants and needs right now and if you are being nudged to make a change...even if you don't know what happens next...it's time (and I think you know this already) to make it so.
If life is swimming by without any friction or resistance right now, you are in the minority and you should thank your lucky stars and be swimming in clear pools of reverence.
But if your world is looking a bit upside down right now, I recommend getting a little comfortable in weightlessness. Just for a bit longer.
I should pause...I am sending you a cyber hug...and if you don't have people watching you right now and want to wrap your arms around yourself...I'm giving you a really big one.
I do have a piece of good news: Mercury goes direct on the 10th of this Month...so things should be begin to settle down on Sunday.
Your Welcome.
One element of what is happening right now is this beautiful relationship of the thinning veil from Halloween mixed with the clarity in the planets alignments right now. This unique time is ushering us towards unwinding from a story, a fairy tale, a belief system that is perhaps not based on the present moment, or as I like to call it, based in reality.
This can be beliefs about yourself, or relationships, or ideas formed long ago that no longer serve you.
I have a lovely meditation I just shared with the Speakers I'm coaching for TedX Bellingham that happens next Tuesday (more on that below.) I think it can help you find peace amongst all this turmoil.
And I also want to add, at least in my case...it was incredibly hard letting go, letting go of a dream more than anything, but there is also this immediate validation that occurred because the energy is so ripe to step in new, clear, present directions. It doesn't make it any easier, but it helps it make a little more sense.
Believe your courage will pay off in your Soul's evolution.
Because it will.

Calgon Take Me Away....
| |
 A meditation for finding Sanity and Peace in a turbulent time.
Do you remember that ad campaign from the 80's? A beautiful woman (or super cute pup in this case), reclining in a hot bath, arms draped over the edges, steam rising...and she exhales and says dreamily, "Calgon Take Me Away."
I do. I never took an actual Calgon bath, but there is something so deeply relaxing every time I think of it...because of course I have taken my fair share of very perfect baths.
So here is a fabulously easy meditation you can use to ground, and immediately tap into that sense of calm and clarity, no matter what is around you.
Calgon Meditation:
Close your eyes (after reading this through) and while sitting or standing imagine that you have roots sinking down from your feet into the center of the Earth. Allow those roots to sink into deeper and deeper layers until you come to a lake in the center of the earth. It's steaming and inviting and immediately calms you down.
Ask permission in your mind for your roots to enter the luxurious pool and then dip them in. Feeling that tingle that immediately resonates all the way up your body. Allow your roots to transport that healing, soothing, relaxing, and grounding energy up into every cell of your body.
Imagine it traveling up into your feet, and your legs and hips and low back, into your back and spine, and neck, and trunk and across your shoulders and down into your hands. Allow it relax your head and your scalp, your jaw and your eyes.
When you are fully relaxed, I like to say out loud..."Calgon take me away."
Sometimes I giggle...which is great. Sometimes I fall in just a little deeper.
Then I thank the pool and bring my roots back up and slowly open my eyes, making sure I carry that peace with me.
If you do this enough you can almost Pavlovian style train yourself to become relaxed by closing your eyes, grounding and saying to yourself, "Calgon Take Me Away."
Now if that's not good Advertising dollars spent...I don't know what is!
Happy Luxuriating!

 TedX Bellingham
Holy Cow. If you would have told me that working as a Speaker Coach for the first ever TedX event that is happening next Tuesday in Bellingham would turn my world inside out, well, I might have believed you...I've listened to enough talks to know what 18 minutes does, much less the journey to get there.
Expect more in Blog form on that after it's all over, but I wanted to give a plug to the livecast that will be happening on Tuesday and urge you to check it out. I feel a bit like a proud Mama...but it is the most amazing collection of people and stories and life...and it will crack you open and build you back up. (Hint....be near kleenex at all times..)
The web address for the LiveCast on Tuesday beginning at 10 am is here: http://tedxbellingham.com/watch/
I am forever changed...and so grateful for it!

I'm sending lots of love and open-ness and grounded-ness and patience and courage and determination and weightlessness your way. It's difficult on any path, especially when each decision seems to bring more chaos which needs more decisions...as seems to be happening as of late. But I'm sure I don't have to remind you that the energy you expend on making sure you are paying attention and growing and learning from mis-steps will come back to you ten fold...at some point :)
And I'd also like to remind you that no matter how "intense" things may get, you can always find something to make you laugh, to make you take a deep breath, to connect you in some way with some other emotion...if even only for a little while. Amidst all this growth, we can still find a way to have some fun.
And if you need help with this...please schedule...because it's as important as the journey itself.
Sincerely,
Elisha F. Weinberg

Next Visit to Seattle.
| | |
I'm all booked up for November...so I'm sorry I can't offer any more appointments, but I will be in Seattle December 28 and 29 and I'm scheduling for those right now.
Many of you loved when I saw you on Christmas day...and if I can get commitment from Six of you, I'm happy to keep that tradition alive. Email me in the next few weeks if you are interested in that and I will make it happen!
I hope to see you soon!
And thank you so much for all your referrals! It is you who keeps this small business open and thriving! And for that, I am eternally grateful!
