OBSERVING YOUR THOUGHTS --
IS THAT REALLY YOU IN THERE?

Who are you listening to right now? Whose voice do you hear in your head? What is the voice telling you about your day, your body, your past and your future? Can you listen to it for just a moment?

The first thing you'll probably hear is "What voice? What is she talking about? I don't hear anything. Let's read something else". And that is your introduction to the thoughts that run circles around you night and day. The thoughts never stop, and usually we think that our thoughts are correct. Wow -- what a mistake.

I never had any idea that the thoughts I was thinking weren't really who I was. It never occurred to me. I thought that my mind was who I was, and that all of its opinions were worth listening to. Even worse, I never questioned that perhaps I should be thinking something else, such as discovering the real cause of my physical problems, and was I really happy. I figured life was about getting on to the next moment as fast as possible, and the best way to do that was not to feel anything, not to question anything, and not to stand up for myself.

My outer persona was not in sync with these inner thoughts, fears and conflicts. I had a really good "act" going and appeared to be successful, smart, outspoken and all together. I was disconnected from myself and did not know it. It took my getting really, really sick for me to have to stop, look, listen and begin the search for answers.

The good news? Having been "forced" into exploring my Body-Mind Connection, I now find that the greatest joy I have is to completely start "Me" over. To recreate who I really am and what I really want, and what I really need to feel and say and do, and to constantly question that voice in my head. Sometimes I love that voice, and sometimes I want to yell at it, but more and more I know that I am NOT those thoughts. No, I am the Thinker of the thoughts and that's a whole other thing. The Thinker is where my true Self resides, the Me that is the Observer of the connections between what I think and how I feel.

Becoming conscious of myself as the Thinker/Self, and not the Mind/Thoughts, is a powerful new space to view life from. In fact, it is all so new, exciting, revealing and different that I now teach classes on the Body-Mind Connection so I can have another excuse to keep reading about it and experimenting with it! There is so much to learn, and I am thrilled to be able to start passing it on to my clients and to those who come to seminars to explore this with me.

In the meantime, I urge everyone to buy or borrow any CD's by Eckhart Tolle. Tolle is the most amazing teacher around right now and I am totally inspired by his readings of his wonderful books. I listen to them in the car and they help me remember who I am becoming and how to step back from my thoughts to the bigger perspective where truth lies.

I hope you can join me in any or all of the seminars planned for 2007. Emotional freedom, physical well-being, and spiritual healing are the gifts of the journey into your Body-Mind Connection. Aren't you ready for that?
