Stay on Your Track!

When You Lose Your “Track” You Lose Yourself

In the recent survey so many of you completed through subscribing to the Centering Tools newsletter, you talked a lot about your struggles with “staying on track” – how the “little (and not so little!) things throw you off.  When that happens, we lose our “center”, which rapidly becomes losing our sense of self.

It is so easy to do these days!  Sometimes we lose so much we forget what our “track” is, which makes us much more vulnerable to being “captured” and switched to someone or something else’s “track”.

Ten Tips to Stay On Your Track

How often do you hear the phrase “staying on track”?  This is how I’ve come to define the real directive and meaning of “your track”:

1.  Your “track” is what you love and are easily, centrally passionate about.

2.  It is what you have an intuitive understanding about.

3.  It is what gives you energy – and sustains it.

4.  It is where you internally “settle in”.

5.  It feels like your central partner in life, as a quality.

6.  You have a sense you’re “meant” to do it; and in that context it “feels right”.

7.  “Magic” happens when you’re on your “track” – even miracles – there is a sense of life flowing, and you with it.

8.  Without it you feel some essential part of you is lost

9.   You always grow through it – and expand, as does your life.

10. It produces transformation – you become a different, better person and inspire others to do the same.

Recover Your Worth & Your True Power to Choose

Your “track” is the “track” of healing and success.  It is the track of greater wholeness and becoming.

Balance, satisfaction and joy come through staying on your track.  So ask yourself, is anything worth allowing yourself to be thrown off?

Can Yours and Others’ True “Tracks” Synchronize?

Of course, life seems to have its own multidimensional “track” that always best synchronizes with our own core destiny.  What we might call the universe, though, does, through its core, always support our “track” as it is defined above.

So the real focus is to “track” and confirm the “win-win” experiences – and share in all the “spoils” for your own and others’ best outcomes!  I offer you that challenge in creative thinking as your best “track” to discovery and resolution – Namaste, Marjorie

Can You Really Give Up Control?

Here’s The Real Truth

I think if we could centrally break the delusion that so pervasively exists in our world about control, we could truly become, and exist, in an enlightened world.  I continue to work intensively with clients around debunking this goofy and tragic myth that sends people on all kind of tail-chasing, destructive and addictive journeys.

To cut to the chase:  there is no control.  It doesn’t exist.

Explore Your Sacred Trinity of Development

What does exist, as I continue to extensively repeat and explore as a new universe of self-healing and development in my work, is the following sacred trinity, as I call it:

*personal power

*freedom to choose

*heightened awareness

How to Access Infinite Self-Healing

I tell clients if they feel caught in a struggle over control, to try to substitute all of these phrases instead, and see what opens up for them by way of insight, higher direction, and self-healing.  On that note I invite you to do the following:

Settle back into a deeply relaxed, open state by allowing your breath to deepen and your body to release tension and settle back comfortably into a comfortable, supported position.  Close your eyes and more and more greatly allow yourself to become part of your easy, free, open breaths – this essence, light rhythm that flows and goes all around and through you now.

The Central Way to Transcend Needing to Control

In this flowing state, consider your sense of personal power, freedom to choose, and heightened awareness.  Does it seem in this moment anything interferes with these states?

What about a sense of control?  Does it matter?  Does it exist?  If it does, it truly interferes with the above expanded states of being, synchronizing with your own authentic spirit and well creating in the world you live in.

Three Key Points of Focus to Produce “Win-Win”

Can you consider all choices not as producing less or more control, but instead as supporting more personal power, freedom to choose, and heightened awareness?  Three key points of focus combine completely as the necessary elements to transform, let go and let be, and allow greater wholeness – our “primary directive” as spiritual beings of multidimensional consciousness adventuring here on the earth place.

We are here to support our greater good without excluding anyone, anything, and especially ourselves.  This vision and mission always produces “win-win” solutions that can only reveal themselves through staying present courageously and with compassion as the ongoing “observer-active participant” throughout a whole unfolding journey of becoming.

I honor your great effort and hope as your keys to healing and empowerment – Marjorie 

Uncover and Heal Your Greatest Conflict

Are You Your Own Worst Bully?

Over and over again in my work with clients, we uncover what is an overwhelmingly common core conflict.  It always comes down to fundamentally not accepting yourself.

From this awareness we then link and understand that this is delusional and bullying behavior that sets the stage for further violating, blaming, victimizing, rationalizing, and addictive responses.

Can Self-Acceptance Be the Key to Becoming Whole?

To have a part of oneself refuse to wholly accept logically makes no sense, for we are who and what we are.  How sad that others see this as so obvious, and the individual stays so unaware, so conflicted!

Louise Hay, in her classic self-help, recovery and spiritual development book You Can Heal Your Life, centrally focuses on unconditional self-acceptance as the key to all mind-body healing.  She recommends standing before a mirror and saying to your reflection, I love and accept you just as you are.  

My Five Key Questions to Reveal Core Conflict

Here are five key questions I’ve developed and recommend clients ask themselves to reveal core conflict:

1.  What do I feel most afraid of?

2.  What three people most hurt me in my life, and how?

3.  If I sense anyone doesn’t like me, why do I think that happens?

4.  If you could become someone different from who you feel you are, who would you be, and why?

5.  What do feel in your heart of hearts is unworthy about you? 

Here is Your Real Challenge to Accept

These are questions to reflect deeply on, from a place of tremendous willingness and honesty.  They open a therapeutic and integrative dialogue that can allow your authentic spirit to also reveal your higher self to you.

Recording your answers invites your “still, small voice” to offer its inspired insights and guidance to you.  My final recommendation, on that note, is to write the following phrase at the beginning of each of your above answers:  I accept that I . . .

Now you have formed the beginning foundation to love and awareness, which has no condition, no central conflict . . . extends within and without, to Self and Others . . . the all-one (a-lone) connection in the great infinite space in which we exist.

In light, Marjorie

The Top Ten Tips For Win-Win Solutions

All Choices Are Either Win-Win or Lose-Lose

People fundamentally come to see me seeking win-win solutions.  I think all true solutions must be win-win – if not, they immediately and completely default to lose-lose.

I have come through the years of my practice to realize those are the only real choices and outcomes that occur.  Here, then, are my top ten tips to Win-Win, which always best work for you and whoever else you’re dealing with:

Ten Ways to Win-Win

1.  Be able to detach fully from your desired outcome.

2.  Acknowledge the full depth and breath of your feelings without condition or agenda.

3.  Decide from your deepest sense of being consciously aware of your integrity.

4.  Make the choice will allow you to fully look yourself in the mirror the next day.

5.  Dive as “deep as you can” into the core of your being to consider your sense of what really feels right to you, whether or not it makes you feel good or is convenient for you, or not – and carry out that choice.

6.  Consider, with maximum focus, your sense of potential and/or experienced loss – and fully feel all the accompanying sensations in your body, as well as whatever feelings emerge, without agenda or dictate.

7.  Reflect on what feels like the most compassionate choice you can make to yourself – and do it.

8.  Carry out the choice that feels like it produces, long-term, the greatest sense of freedom for you.

9.  Fully, directly answer the following questions as you consider the situation/challenge:  Who, What, Where, When, Why and How is this going on – and allow those answers to naturally and progressively shape your choice.

10. Look deep within and acknowledge your sense of your deepest fear – and consider and feel all that happens within you as you imagine choosing what you believe will produce that result.

Rochester, NY, April 3, 2012 - Centering for Wellness, a Brighton-based not-for-profit whose mission is to offer concrete tools to enhance quality of life and promote wellness transformation for individuals, health care providers and organizations, is presenting a unique pilot program to promote self-care and shared networking for the public, holistic practitioners, health care providers and employee wellness program coordinators.

“Networking for Wellness: The Pilot Program of a Four Part Wellness Series” will be held on Monday evening, April 23 from 7-8:30 pm in the Williams Gallery at the First Unitarian Church, 220 Winton Road South, Rochester, NY 14610. Marjorie Baker Price, RN, psychiatric and community health nurse clinician and certified hypnotherapist, who is the founder and CEO of Centering for Wellness, will talk on “How to Meditate in Minutes for Wellness Transformation”, followed by sharing and networking.

Suggested donation of $5 charitable contribution supports the organization’s wellness program initiatives which target at-risk populations, including victims of abuse and post-traumatic stress, as well as chronic and life-threatening disease.

“Studies from a variety of sources including the National Institute of Health/Complementary and Alternative Medicine continue to identify more than 50% of the public seeks holistic or alternative wellness practices, not only for prevention, but to support more effective treatment of disease and improve quality of life”, says Marjorie.

”We hope to offer an informal but informative opportunity for people to freely share with all health care providers and employee wellness program coordinators; and equally importantly, for holistic and health care providers and wellness advocates to talk with each other. Centering for Wellness now additionally offers a unique series of employee programs to work with companies to better support and extend wellness initiatives in the face of current organizational challenges, for both improved performance and satisfaction. We must together create larger, shared win-win solutions in these critical times, which I feel are best offered through grassroots initiatives that offer personal contact, to raise everyone’s awareness and break down ‘role’ barriers. These days we must be our own – and each other’s – best advocates.”

Hope to see you there!  Please pass this along to whoever you think would be interested and benefit from this unique grassroots wellness networking and programming initiative!

Namaste, Marjorie

How To Rise Above What Gets You Down In Life

Do You Know The Currents Of Your Own Life?

Life has its currents – they peak in their own unique waves . . .  disappear through their own determined expressions . . . and we ride them.  Do you have a sense about the currents of your life – what rises, what falls, and how these rhythms go?

We do experience life in all kinds of cycles.  I sometimes recommend to clients that they create a timeline of events within certain key themes, like love, loss, moves, work, health; to be able to see patterns and corresponding meaning for greater guidance with current corresponding challenges.

Can You Find What Is Truly Good In Your Life?”

We always live our life in paradoxes and in multiple dimensions.  Frequently when life gets us down through its tough, tragic “peaks” we lose sight, for many understandable reasons, of other, opposite dimensions that are there to sustain and support us, often in surprising ways.

Here are my top three tips to uncover and use those critical dimensions as a boost from the universe to rise above what gets you down in life:

Prove to Yourself That You’re Not Alone

Know who really cares about you, and go to them without hesitation.  Tell them how you feel and what’s getting you down in ways they can understand; and open to receive all their love and caring in whatever way they can express and offer it to you. 

Note: this includes children and animals.  Many times this will wonderfully expand your loving relationships and invite whoever you’re sharing with to tell you their corresponding stories of great challenge and survival – which may give you just what you need to find your own way to where your real resolution exists!

Find A Way(s) to “Get Away From It All”

The fastest, most effective way to do this is through some form of meditation – working with your breath to carry you into alternate consciousness, which is the vibrational frequency, in holistic terms, that moves you to rise above what gets you down.  Brief frequent and regular meditative experiences show you these opposite dimensions of being and open the door to your intuition and creative problem-solving abilities. 

Here you can naturally  build your inner strength to better deal with your challenges.  Getting out in nature re-grounds and uplifts you, and brings subtle and powerful support, showing you there is lasting beauty, harmony and peace in your world. 

Write Down Your Deepest Thoughts, Feelings – Especially Fears – and Your Sense of What’s Going On As Your “Inner Observer” Who Answers the Following Questions:  Who, What, Where, When, Why and How?

Taking both of these central journaling focuses helps you compassionately face and sort out, as well as fully express, what is going on for you and how you’re responding.  This naturally and profoundly moves you to transcend into becoming your higher self, who can create the best solution for you and achieve your greater good – always rightly synchronizing with the universe’s power to change what is wrong to what is more right for you than you ever imagined.  

Give this “one-two-three punch” to your peaking wave, and see how you find yourself amazingly and successfully riding – and riding above it!  In this peaking and profoundly surprising year, accept the challenge to stretch beyond what you know and how you see yourself . . . and look for the birth of new horizons . . .

This is a Key Year to Activate Your Dreams

This much-touted year, 2012 is nearly done with its first quarter.  How is it going for you?

 

How do you wish it were going?  In my work these days so many clients ask for help in how to deal with multiple and complicated life changes as the world struggles with its own mounting crises.  Personal dreams can even more fall by the way side, and we all correspondingly suffer in many known and not fully known ways.

The Real Value of Helplessness

Helplessness Doesn’t Care How You Feel or Think

How okay is it for you to admit feeling helpless?  In my practice clients seem to struggle most with that challenge, which “fits” with the epidemic dysfunction of longstanding duration in our culture that deludes us into believing we must run from any hint of experiencing that sensation, or we might not survive.

Helplessness doesn’t care how we feel or think about it.  It surfaces for its own powerful reasons designed to offer us a signal not to be ignored – one that doesn’t ever really go away until we come to terms with it.

Here Are My Key Points of Transformation

Here is what I’ve come to understand are key transformational points to consider to be able to experience the real value of helplessness:

1.  Helplessness that is avoided in any fundamental way sets the stage for addiction of any and all kinds to appear.

2.  Helplessness returns us to our core softness through reminding us of our essential vulnerability, that really is our “opening center” for healing and development.

3.  Helplessness when fully acknowledged and understood brings us to a place of immense compassion and higher awareness.

Try These Journaling Exercises for Self-Healing

Here are some related key journaling exercises to try to further explore each of the above paths for self-healing and transformation:

1.  Consider and write any/all your feelings, thoughts and experiences involving what you may be “hooked on”.  Read through all you’ve written, and ask yourself how helpless you feel.  Record whatever comes up inside you.  Now imagine you can ask your heart what it wants to transform – and record your response.

2.  Imagine in a deeper reflective state you are led to the softest part of your heart, and experience – then record – what happens.  Underneath your writing, write I am vulnerable.  Record whatever then comes up inside you.  Read through it all and ask yourself: what wants to open here as a “door” to key healing and development for you?  Record your impressions.

3.  Envision yourself as an expression of the divine surrounded by many enlightened beings, however you picture and fully feel this now occurs.  Here you are experiencing a full life review for completion and release.  Imagine you are so greatly encouraged by these beings to fully and freely express your sense of helplessness whenever it has been present in your life, from an immensely powerful space of unconditional love and acceptance.  Experience and record whatever now happens for and with you.  When you’ve finished, read and reflect on everything, and ask yourself what you may be more greatly able to observe and understand about yourself and your life.  Record your impressions.

How Do You Feel About Being Helpless?

Everything we feel and think throughout our lives is an expression of flowing balance that seeks its own resolution and greater wholeness.  The paradox with helplessness, then, is that it so fundamentally fuels our becoming so much stronger and better developed – able to function and respond in a greater present from an endless foundation of becoming.

Namaste, Marjorie
