Are you suffering from the ‘Disease to Please’……if so then you may be slowly killing yourself. Are you are experiencing the following symptoms?  

• constantly seeking approval of your work or what you do
• needing validation of your ideas
• offering to help others before you have considered yourself
• disappointed when you don’t get the recognition for something
• always ‘doing’ and never ‘being’
• giving and then becoming resentful
• annoyed or angry at people who don’t offer help or make an effort
• always keeping the peace and being ‘nice’
• feeling taken advantage of and not appreciated

I have recently been presented with a beautiful learning opportunity for personal growth. Of course as usual we seem to gain our greatest learnings through those we love so I speak about this with much love and gratitude and more clarity as to why people come into our lives and how we create our own reality.

What does it mean to fully express yourself? The absolute truth of who you are – your authentic self. What would it take for you to be totally vulnerable, open and honest?

Have you ever played full out? Been all parts of you without judgement from yourself or concern about judgement from others. I have no doubt that all of us have had moments or times  in our lives when we have. So what stops us from being that ‘warts and all’ human being on a more regular basis or even a continual basis? What is the one thing that keeps us being totally ‘naked’ in the midst of the world around us.  

Do you often find yourself feeling quite alone, depressed, stuck, almost trapped?

Do you feel like a victim of your own circumstances with no way out, no choice but to stay where you are? Does life have you on this constant merry-go-round and has it become a world of busyness or for some a world of procrastination and emptiness. Sound familiar? 

Opening The Clown Chakra

Recently, scientists have found that all our problems can
be placed under one heading: Seriousness. Seriousness is
the leading cause of disharmony.

Scientists from the Clown Academy have already discovered a
new source of healing.

It is a psychic energy point located between the heart
energy center (chakra) and the throat energy center (chakra).

It is called the “Clown Chakra.”

If people are feeling miserable; if they have financial
problems; if their relationships are in the pits; if they are
in ill health; if they have a need to sue people; if they find
fault with another; then their clown chakra is imbalanced.

What is Bullying?

Bullying is when an individual/group (with seemingly more power than you) repeatedly and intentionally uses negative words or actions agains you shich causes distress or risk to your physical, social and mental well-being.

What’s in it for the Bully

• It’s an opportunity to gain attention (destructive/negative attention is often better than none)
• It’s a Power struggle – A need to feel important

I love the power of this – one of my favourite mantras “ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE”. For the past number of yrs probably close to about 10 – 15 I have had miracle upon miracle happen because of my strong belief in the power of this prayer or mantra. I thank my beautiful mother for her faith in this prayer (you can call it a ‘saying’ if you’re not into prayer) and for as long as I can remember as a child she would always call on this one if she needed and instilled in me to do the same.

It’s infectious, it’s contageous and I’m so not sorry to say it’s addictive.

I will be your crazy instructor taking you through the paces in a playful like manner (ok, so you get to be a kid again – Did you know that children  laugh approx 300-400 times/day compared to adults at about 15-20  times/day).

Laughter yoga is a series of laughing exercises and yogic breathing (No, its not yoga and you don’t have to stretch your legs around your elbows).

There is a distinction to make when you are experiencing and either/or thinking process. It is this. Are you only coming from two reference points for what you are experiencing? It may manifest as- I do not have choice around a certain state – I either have to be in control or I am out of control, or I have to be separate or doing connection. So notice when it is either one or the other. When this is happening there will be conflict inside and that will probably limit you in the world and limit your decisions and choices.
