Happy Mother’s Day!

Dr. Christiane Northrup — Sun, 13 May 2012 17:23:47 +0000

From the moment I gazed into the eyes of my firstborn child, Annie, I was enchanted. Given what I teach now (and how I practiced medicine), I think you will find this ironic: Up until the moment that I actually went into labor, I treated my impending motherhood in a detached clinical way and managed to stay totally immersed in my career. Talk about a mind-body split! Then happily, suddenly, and quite unexpectedly, at age thirty-one, my innate nurturing and mothering skills were awakened in me as I went through the process of labor and birth.

Even though I had spent much of the five years prior to Annie’s birth delivering babies and marveling at how infinitely varied were the ways in which their mothers responded to them, I was completely unaware of what my own response would be. I share this with you, because every woman, no matter how maternal she is, has doubts. And every woman arrives at the place she needs to be for herself and her family at the right time. And that includes women who never have children of their own.

Like my mother, I had not been particularly interested in babies, but I always knew I wanted to be a mother someday. One of the things that amazed me at the time was that I instantly had the urge to have a whole lot of children. I was thrilled with my ability to create this beautiful baby, a fact that both surprised and delighted me, given my prior take-it-or-leave-it attitude toward babies. I was caught up in the wonder and abundance of biologic creativity at that moment in a way that I will never forget.

Like my mother before me, I had never doubted my ability to care for a baby. It seemed like common sense. What I wasn’t prepared for was the amount of heart-bursting unconditional love I felt for this little being. The very day she was born, Annie laughed—a tiny laugh, I’ll admit, but coming out of her perfect rosebud lips, it sounded like the voices of the angels themselves. I had the distinct feeling that she had spent a good deal of time with the angels. And she looked as though she hadn’t quite left the spirit world behind. I knew that I would do everything in my power to protect her, provide for her, and let her know that she was loved. I thought she was the most precious child ever born.

But despite my immediate postpartum enthusiasm for making babies, it was two and a half years before I gave birth to my next child, my daughter Kate. And by the time I turned thirty-seven, with two small children in the house, I realized that although I felt a strong biologic urge to have a third, I didn’t have enough life energy to carry, birth, and mother an infant in a way that I considered optimal while also tackling another huge project that I was gestating—Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom.

I chose the book.

I adore my children and have found motherhood fulfilling beyond my wildest dreams. But being a mother is only one aspect of who I am. And that’s OK. As a physician and a writer, I have strong needs for inward focus, solitude, and scholarly pursuits—lifestyle qualities not easily available to the mothers of large families. To be a truly happy and healthy woman, and therefore a happy mother, I needed a focus other than my home and family, just as my own mother had.

When I was a young mother, my spirit urged me to create a life that encompassed all the aspects of my personality. I didn’t know if I could find the right balance between the joys and demands of motherhood and the joys and demands of a practicing physician, especially one who delivered babies in the middle of the night a few times a week. Later, the question became what percentage of my time should be devoted to practicing medicine versus writing? Later still, how much time did I want to be away from my teenage children, traveling to speaking engagements or pursuing my own hobbies?

And so it goes. Thousands of women were—and still are—asking the same kinds of questions and making the same kinds of decisions in their work and personal lives.

Here’s my advice: There is no right answer, just the answer that is right for you. And that answer is likely to change. Let it! Know that it’s OK to want and even need the satisfaction that comes from creating a home and a family, from being cherished in an intimate partnership. It’s also natural to crave the personal power that comes from having a career and financial clout. Your soul will direct you and help you to be the best kind of mom you can be, if you let it.

My Greatest Teacher

Wayne Dyer — Fri, 11 May 2012 23:06:55 +0000

I’m 72 today. Around the time of my birthday last year, I was privileged to be working on a new film project from Hay House called My Greatest Teacher. The story is based on my experience at my father’s grave in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1974. It was a moment of forgiveness that turned my whole life around and changed everything—from my writing to my career to my relationships. I stopped drinking and doing so many things that were debilitating to my body. In that moment, I got rid of the anger and rage against my father that I had carried around inside of me since I was a child.

The film has a contemporary setting with an actor playing the young me—angry, impatient, careless of the feelings of others—until he faces his greatest teacher. Essentially, he can’t go on with his life until he settles up with the huge burden of blame he is carrying. A Course in Miracles says, “If you didn’t blame, there would be nothing to forgive.” That’s important to remember. We get to stages in our life where we’re blaming other people for our unhappiness and our pain and our hurts. If we stopped blaming, where might we be? Ram Dass once said to me, “Who is anybody to forgive anyone else?” If we must forgive, we must first have blamed. To forgive is to stop blaming and to accept with compassion that everyone is simply doing the best they can given the conditions of their life and what they have to work with at the time.

Forgiveness sets you free to move past the pain and on into a life of loving and serving. The satisfying and fulfilling life you know is there for you. My Greatest Teacher does a fine job of portraying the turnaround that comes when a man stops nursing his own wounds and looks around to see who else needs the gifts of love and healing he was born to give.

Limited Space! Join us for two fun, enlightening evenings that have the potential to change your life. Register now for the Passion Test BestUCanB.

BestUCanB, I was to have completed the article on the second person who we were going to highlight in Heart and Mind Matters this week. But I spent too much time outdoors last week fixing the fence that I was unable to send it to “Katherine” for her prior approval. So I on Monday I was stuck with what do I write about?

I tried many times to find an inspiring topic all day, something with real meat in it that would get your juices flowing and you would all be riveted to your computers, compelled to continue reading …

Well, I will be the first to admit I am sentimental and hopeless romantic and I couldn’t find a topic. Why? Because my thoughts always kept wandering off towards Tina. She left last Thursday for Ottawa for a weekend Retreat and returns Monday night.

I can and will admit even after 27 years of marriage to this wonderful boundless energetic mistress of joy I still miss her so much while we are off doing our own things. When we are apart.it almost feels painful to be separated from her.

When we are close I never have to go looking for her as I somehow energetically know where she almost all of the time.

E.g. When we have been separated in malls or large big box stores I have always know where she is without ever discussing a meeting or rendezvous point.

When one of us travels by plane it feels like the connection is lost because of the speed of the separation… Apparently my heart connection can’t travel at 900 KM an hour…

“When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep.

Praise God for those two insomnias!
And the difference between them.”

Rumi

So I surrender to the divine and decided let’s talk about love and relationships since that’s what keeps coming up for me…

Falling in love is easy… Staying in LOVE is F’ing hard work. You don’t stay in love without continually working at it. The moment you stop working at love, is the start of the dangerous path of falling out of love. I believe if you catch it early enough you can re-ignite the passion and bring back the love in your relationship. But left to long on autopilot and your relationship is in serious if not fatal jeopardy.

If you are in a relationship or plan on EVER being in a sexual or non-sexual relationship with anyone I suggest you get a hold of a copy of the book “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman and do the exercises together.

Tina and my love languages are both physical touch and quality time.

So you now know one of the reasons I miss Tina so much when we are apart. I measure love by how much time we spend together. I feel less loved when we are apart.

If we are not facilitating a workshop, we hug and hold hands a lot. To satisfy the love language of physical touch we almost never forget to kiss, hello, good bye and good night.

So knowing each other’s love language has helped us stay in love because we are able to talk the same love language to each other.

P.S. Knowing the love languages of all your friends can go a long way to maintaining a healthy relationship with them as well

So BestUCanB whats your love language???

In Light and Love

UP COMING EVENTS
A Warrior’s Heart: The Awakening Coming Soon!

Dreams become reality through two things;

Having the courage to dream;
Having the courage to act on your dreams.

BestUCanB, over the next couple weeks we’ll be sharing with you the stories of two dreamers that we are proud and honored to have in our lives.

The first dreamer is a married man with one child whom was working in a high stress non rewarding job — he pretty much hated what he did. To make matters worse, Jason was in a marital, spiritual and emotional rut. He felt trapped and it was eating away his soul. Until Jason courageously decided he would start “Acting”.

His story is a story of pure synchronicities and trust allowing the universe to unfold for him. The moment Jason declared he wanted to act again, the universe conspired to assist him, filling his calendar with acting opportunities. He appeared in the TV series “Hell on Wheels” and in numerous stage performances in Red Deer. Jason is living a DREAM — his dream

I asked Jason if I could share the above information and this was his response.

“Yes! Absolutely you may use me in the article. Feel free to use my name. It’s my life and I’m excited to share. I would add that the universe continues to provide as long as I continue to put in the work to accept opportunities. Many times I have been offered opportunities to act and thought, ” I really want this role, but how will I fit this into my work schedule?”

Instead of assuming it was impossible, I approached my supervisors and co-workers for assistance, and every time my schedule was re-arranged effortlessly to allow me to enjoy the opportunity.

My first feature film role involved schedule rearranging by the film producers, my family, and work during the busiest, most leave restricted time of year…and in no time at all, I had all the film days I needed.

Other keys to my success: when I do get an audition opportunity, I do everything I can to succeed. I don’t just walk in (as some actors do) and say “So what am I here for, again?” I research the production, the company, the director, producer and especially the role I am after.

If I have a script or part of the script, I learn it and memorize it, and develop a character around it. For mailed in movie auditions, I don’t just send a resume / headshots and hope it works; I get appropriate costumes, props, and I film myself as the character. I carefully edit it and combine it with good background music, titles, and put the finished product on a DVD or a private YouTube link.

While many actors who live in Hollywood or Vancouver will go to audition after audition not knowing much about the next role they are auditioning for, I pick and choose to ensure that my audition is the best I can make it. Here is the key principle behind it:

The universe conspired to get me to this opportunity, now it’s my turn to do everything I can to make it happen.

On the flipside, sometimes the universe provides signals that an opportunity is not right. Many times I have seen a role that interested me, I wrote an email expressing an interest in the role, but before I am able to hit send my Internet crashes. I reboot it, then get called away from my desk and hear Randy on American Idol tell a singer “Dog that song was not a good choice for you”. I will walk back to my desk and hit delete on the email. The universe says no for a reason, accept it and move on….probably better things are out there for me.

If you take steps to fix something like scheduling and they disappear ridiculously easy, then the universe is guiding you to it. When every step you take there are unanticipated road blocks, and signs saying no. It’s probably not an ideal opportunity. Thank the universe for the guidance. Know that there is something better being lined up, and taking this current opportunity would get in, the way.

Where is Jason at in life now? He has recently moved to part time in the job that was sucking the life out of him (after all it does still pay the bills), he and a friend have started a marketing / advertising company in which the universe is already providing him more leads than he knows what to do with, very soon he has an audition with one of Calgary’s top talent agencies (success with that will open many, many doors), and he is the extras casting director on the feature film “Year After Year” filming in Red Deer, Edmonton and Calgary in August, 2012.

NOTE: If you are interested in being an extra in a movie, or your business is not at the level you want it to be, send him a message at Jason@onecrazystory.com. Why one crazy story? Because that’s what life is when you work with the universe…a thrill ride, a joy in every moment, something that others look at and comment “Dude, you have one crazy story!”

By the way, I have begun to notice that the more I live my dream, the more it seems to give permission to the people around me to live theirs. People have been telling me what they dream of doing and couples have even asked for some help with taking some steps towards their goals and I see more and more of these people stepping into things that make them happy; the universe is manifesting powerfully for them. It seems to be accelerating right now. Maybe there is something to this 2012 thing.

We are connecting closer and closer to instant manifestation.

The Best Advice I Ever Got

Robin Sharma — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 07:14:38 +0000

I hope you’re great. Four things I wanted to share with you to help you do fantastic work and create your best life during these volatile times:

#1. Below you will find an idea-rich article called, “The Best Advice I Ever Got” that summarizes the powerful insights that exceptional business leaders use to win.

The Best Advice I Ever Got

All it takes is a single idea to change the game. One insight, shared in one quick conversation, can transform the way you think, work and live. One piece of wisdom from an epic performer – or a thoughtful producer – can dramatically alter the path of your career and your personal life. And, as with all big ideas, the simpler the better (simplicity is the trademark of Genius).

When I was about 21 years old, I was blessed to have a brilliant bond trader as a best friend. He was older than me, more instinctual and had developed the acute courage to live his life on his own terms (versus following the crowd). A true original, in my eyes. And a man who influenced my perspective deeply. We used to take long walks along the ocean and talk about business, creativity and getting big things done. One morning, he said something that still speaks to me this day: “Robin, you have to run your own race.” To me, that advice meant a few things, trust my own instincts, live by my own values, do my own dreams (and quickly dismissing the chattering opinions of the critics around us). Too easy to buy into society’s definition of success and miss out on our own. So easy to get distracted by what other people are doing and get off the clear vision we’ve set for ourselves. And I have to admit that I’d rather fail at my own “race” than win at someone else’s.

To keep you encouraged, focused and at peak inspiration as you pursue what’s most important to you, I’ve set out some of the best “advice I’ve learned” from some of the best businesspeople on the planet. Here you go:

Elon Musk, the visionary founder of Tesla – the electric supercar manufacturer – told FORTUNE magazine that the single best piece of advice he ever received came from the book The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy. “Don’t panic” were the words that jumped out at him, and that have guided his world-class career as an entrepreneur. He shared that emotion causes imperfect decision making since we don’t see the facts clearly. As for bad advice he said: “My parents advised me to ignore bullies. That doesn’t work. You have to punch them in the nose.”

Leonard Lauder, Chairman of The Estee Lauder Companies learned an outstanding piece of advice from his mother that guided his career, “If you have something positive to say to someone, put it into writing. But if you have something bad to say, tell it to them to their face.” An example comes from his experience as chairman of The Whitney Museum in New York. He was upset with one of the trustees and wrote a letter that he left on his desk. An assistant found the letter and mailed it, causing the trustee to resign in disgust. Lauder says he still regrets writing that letter to this day.

Terry Lundgren, CEO, Macy’s: “You’re not going to do this forever. There’s a finite amount of time you’re going to be doing this. Do this really, really well.” (from an interview in The New York Times).

Tony Hsieh, founder of Zappos.com: “Hire more slowly and fire those who are harming the culture more quickly. Our #1 priority is company culture. Our belief is that if you get the culture right, then most of the other stuff like building a great brand and great customer service will happen naturally.”

Warren Buffett, the iconic investor, was profoundly influenced by his father Howard, a stockbroker. One of the maxims his dad would recite regularly came from the philosopher Emerson: “The great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.” This drilled into Buffett’s thinking the importance of thinking for yourself and contrarian investing.

“When you’re the first person whose beliefs are different from what everyone else believes, you’re basically saying, “I’m right, and everyone else is wrong.” That’s a very unpleasant position to be in. It’s at once exhilarating and at the same time an invitation to be attacked.” Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle (by the way, big thanks to the team at The Oracle CIO Summit in Dallas for your invitation to present the Lead Without a Title message to your much-valued leaders).

“Twenty five years ago I wish someone had told me about the exponential factor of time: that every year over forty years of age goes twice as fast and every year over fifty goes ten times as fast.” Harold Evans, former publisher, Random House (from If I Knew Then What I Know Now by Richard Edler)

A few final – and random – pieces of advice people have shared with me along the way that have formed my thinking:

Genius has little to do with luck and everything to do with practice.
Health is the crown on the well person’s head that only the ill person can see.
Fly 1000 miles for a 10 minute meeting (you can’t build great relationships via email).
Miss a meal but don’t miss reading.
What separates the best from the rest is how they manage the gift of their time.
Too many people live the same year 80 times and call it a life.
Life is short. Be of use.

#2. Here’s a 60 second video called “Face Fear Fast” that will encourage you to do what scares you, so you lead a life that matters: http://bit.ly/165uyf

#3. The world of work is in deep disruption. Here’s a piece I wrote called “The 50 New Rules of Work” that many of our clients have used as a discussion tool for team meetings: http://www.robinsharma.com/blog/03/the-50-new-rules-of-work/

#4. The specially priced early-bird seats for The Remarkable Entrepreneur SuperConference 2012 are completely sold out but you can still get a seat at $2000 off the regular price for a limited time. If you’re ready to double the sales of your business within 24 months while taking more time off to enjoy life, you can’t afford not to join me June 2 and 3 in Toronto, Canada for these 2 life-changing days where I share my most advanced business-building strategies.

OK. Hope you find these learning resources valuable.

Faith Affirming

Wayne Dyer — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 06:09:28 +0000

A+
A-

Faith is the complete reliance on the power and goodness of Spirit and the firm belief that you are always connected to this goodness. Always affirm your faith and not your doubt. When you affirm that things might not work out, that your troubles continue to mount, that your problems are insoluble, that God has not been listening, or that you are powerless in the face of so many struggles, you are affirming doubt rather than faith. The ability to know faith and affirm it allows it to manifest in your life.

In John 14:27, Jesus said, “My peace I give to you.” This is an affirmation of faith. He certainly wasn’t suggesting that peace is very difficult to have and you must struggle for it. Jesus brought peace to everyone by affirming it. Likewise, in his healing work, he didn’t imply that we haven’t been having a great deal of success lately with leprosy, but if you listen to me you have a thirty percent chance of surviving over the next five years. Instead, he declared, “You are well,” affirming faith at the highest spiritual level, and healing took place.

You too must learn to affirm your faith in the face of doubt with thoughts that things will work out, things will improve. Think, write, and say affirmations like these:

I intend to create prosperity.

I’ll do what is necessary to eradicate this problem.

I know I am not alone.

I have faith that all is for good.

I give no energy to the negative because I know all is in divine order.

I will consult with God and know that I will be guided to do what is needed.

These are all affirmations of faith, which, when practiced, will permit you to say “no” to doubt and “yes” to life.

We invite you to share these events with anyone you know who may be interested. Forward them this e-zine and invite them to subscribe on our website www.bestucanb.ca

Notice of Date Change: The Passion Test workshop is post-poned from Apr 4 & 11 to April 11 & 18. Sorry for the inconvenience. We have room for two more registrants, BestUCanB so call Tina today at 403-285-5266 if you want to join us for two fun filled, enlightening, Wednesday evenings.

I (Tina) am in a quandary. Heart and Mind Matters is supposed to be your weekly uplift, yet at the same time, we promised we would keep this e-zine real and authentic.

BestUCanB I can’t seem to find anything to write about except what’s really on my mind right now – my Dad. He decided this past weekend to forego any more medical treatment/intervention and let nature take its course; we have no idea how much longer he will be with us in his physical body.

I struggled with or not whether to go into all of this with you. In the end, I decided that our aging society means more and more of us are facing ‘death’ these days, so maybe what I have to share will be of value to you BestUCanB. I use apostrophes around the word ‘death’ because I don’t believe it exists. As energetic beings, we can’t possibly die. Sure, our bodies expire, but our souls carry on in another energetic form. It is this very strong spiritual belief that offers me a sense of peace in knowing that Dad will soon be moving on to a place of pure Divine Love, without the struggles of the human existence. Having said that, my physical body will miss his physical body, and there is a grieving process attached to that.

The last two weeks have been a rollercoaster ride, since the shock over Dad’s near-‘death’ two Sundays ago, the hopefulness of his miraculous recovery, and now the reality of the imminent end of this life.

Being a three hour drive away has meant a constant debate with myself (with many different voices!) over staying home vs making the long drive to Edmonton over and over. There’s the voice of the traditional sense of duty and service to family that tells me I need to suspend my life in Calgary and be in Edmonton to support them. There’s the voice of integrity to my students/work in Calgary that tells me I need to be here. There’s the voice of reason that says, “He might be around for a long time. You can’t put your life on hold. Life goes on for the living!” There’s the voice of urgency that says, “What if he’s only here for a short time? Spend as much time with him as you can, be there beside him, comfort him. He holds traditional church beliefs about Heaven and Hell; so consequently, dying is a scary thing for him.”

I thank God for Neil’s Shin Dao philosophy. It keeps me grounded and coming back to what’s really important – Living the Way of the Heart means speaking and acting from a place of love. Shin Dao tells me to hush the loud voices (which are always Ego – the mind) and listen to the quiet voices (which are Spirit – the heart). This philosophy tells me to do what feels right, day by day, without guilt or shame. It tells me to remember that the flow of love is a constant in-pouring and out-pouring; to remember that in sharing love and support, I have to be open to receive it, as well, or my sharing will drain me.

This means I shouldn’t do what I think I am obligated to do. I either don’t do it, or I find a way to feel genuine about doing what feels like the right thing to do. It means being honest with myself about when I must take a little time to nurture and care for myself, and when I can set my needs aside to be there to serve another’s needs.

Staying whole and healthy through this process of Dad’s departure means acknowledging when I feel sad and allowing myself to cry, instead of ‘stuffing’ the emotion down to deal with later, because I always find that when I give myself permission to truly feel the pain I am feeling, it passes quickly. It also means being as present to this moment as much I possibly can be, without slipping into the past, or worrying about the future so much. Being Here Now allows me to experience those little moments of joy, happiness and laughter when they pop up. Humor is spontaneous. Dad and I have had a few laughs within minutes of shedding a few tears, just by being present with each other. And our most special moments have been when we’ve sat in silence, just looking into one another’s eyes, allowing our souls, rather than words, to say how much we love each other.

Hmmm…. The more I write, the more I find I could write, but this is supposed to be a short e-zine, so I’ll stop here.

BestUCanB I wish you a blessed week, filled with small, beautiful moments, deep, heart-felt connections and true, Divine Love.

Namaste,

Tina

Bullying

Neil Thrussell — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 01:31:55 +0000

This one bugs me. You can show sex and violence in movies but you can’t drop the F Bomb in a movie because if you do you get slapped with an R rating or No rating as in the case of the move BULLY.

Which is a horse load of shit in my books. I think every kid in North America needs to see this movie and movies like it. It may not stop it, but it may help and I’m for stopping bullying.
