Listening to my body

Yesterday I had an opportunity to practice what I teach.

After teaching a class and taking my daughter to gymnastics class, I was feeling tired and congested.  Yet, I had two more things I had planned to do at night.  I was not sure how I could do it all.  So I did what I teach my students to do: I asked my body if it desired to go out and play.  The answer I received was not what I was looking for.  My body desired to rest and that’s all.  So I chose to listen, and take a nap.

But I did have 2 other meetings to attend-so what to do?  I could have chosen to judge myself for breaking a commitment to my friends, and to myself.  I could have criticized myself for taking on too much.  I could have consumed another cup of coffee and keep going-regardless of how my body felt.  I could have felt bad, that I would miss out on great fun.  I could also have chosen to be in allowance of me, and my body. I could have chosen to honor myself, by following the wisdom of my body.  And I could have been greateful for friends who also care for and honor me.  I chose to be loving and kind to me.

So, I called my friends and they were so sweet about the whole thing.  They just wanted me to feel better.  Then I had tea with honey and lemon to give my immune system a boost.  And after that, I went to bed.

This morning, when I woke up, I was refreshed and ready to face the day.  There was a sense of peace and gratitude.  I am so grateful for listening to and honoring my body, for caring and generous friends, and for supportive family.

So next time you have a choice to make-where or not you want to push it harder or let go, will you be willing to ask a question first?  Will you be willing to ask your body for what it knows and to follow what it asks of you?

What great contribution can your body be to you?

New tradition

My daughter is watching “Cinderella II: Dreams come true”.  In the movie Cinderella is preparing for the ball and trying to do things the “right” way, and it’s not quiet working for her.  Then she says: “I know I can do this. I just have to stop being someone else.”   And as the king sees all the changes, his reactions are so surprising and cute.  What a way to empower kids!  Love it.

This is so Access Consciouness-Be You and Change the world!

What can you do or be different today that is so YOU?

A new beginning

Last week has been crazy. Both my daughter and I were sick with stomach flu-it was not fun at all. I am so glad that each week and each day can offer us a new beginning. Today is a beautiful day, we are all feeling better. Sasha is back in pre-school and I am full of energy!

How is your day going today?

Question of the day

I had an interesting experience today. I was invited to a business networking meeting last night and directions the to the location were not easy to follow (they were confusing). As I drove to the place, I had to drive around the lot a couple of time before finding my destination, which made me a couple of minutes late. As I parked my car, I had some choices to make: 1) judge the person who gave me the directions, 2) judge myself for not leaving enough time to find the place, 3) ask a question. Today I chose option number 3. I asked the question. As I did, the situation lighten up and I went on to have a productive and fun meeting. How does it get any better? And I would like to offer this question to you as a question for the day:
What is right about this (situation) that I am not getting?
You can also modify it and ask “What is right about me that I am not getting?”
Play with it today and notice your own “Aha” moments and I would love to hear about them.


With ease, joy and glory,

What’s new in my world

Things have been shifting and changing in my world so quickly and miraculously.  I could not have imagined in January and I would be where I am now.  And it is still a work in progress 🙂

In May of this year, I became a Certified Hypnotherapist and EFT practitioner.  Woo-hooo!  More tools to add to my tool belt 🙂

Around the same time, I also discovered my love for drawing abstract pictures and for painting.  It has been such joy to explore it 🙂  And some say, I am pretty good.  I just do it for fun!

Then I started playing with my love of photography and discovered one of my no-longer-hidden talents: seeing the essence of the person in front of me and seeing their unique beauty, even when they cannot see it at the moment.  And being able to bring it to the picture.  This gift has blossomed in Costa Rica, during a class I attended in the beginning of August where I have over 10 private photography/energy clearing sessions with amazing people.  It was so much fun and I got paid for it.  I had fun on the job!  How does it get any better than this?!  Talk about the joy of business! (Thank you Gary Douglas and Simone Milasas)

As I continued to explore the possibilities, 2 weeks ago I attended the class called The Symphony of possibilities (SOP)  with Dr. Dain Heer.  Wow!!!!! What a world changer.  What a gift!!!!!! I am so grateful beyond words for Dr. Dain Heer and for all of my amazing and talented classmates.  I have seen such miracles and changes in my life in just 2 short weeks.  During that class, I also created and held my very first “Lights, Camera, Where did you go?” class.  It was so much fun and I loved facilitating people with a camera.  There was so much laughter and transformation in that class, and don’t forget pictures 🙂    During the SOP class, I was also learned to tap into and work with my own energy and the gift/transformation that it can be when I facilitate my clients.  Since coming back from this class, my private sessions have been more potent, more fun and just more of what else is possible.  I continue to ask more questions and create, create, create.

So, as I look to the last few month of 2013, I am excited and alive, happy and full of wonder and possibilities.  I wonder, would you like to come and play in this realm of infinite possibilities and unlimited joy?   Come and join me, or not.  Whatever you choose, I invite you to create YOUR life, a life of JOY, and live of choices that honor YOU.

What contribution can I be to you today?

In gratitude for each in everyone of you!

xoxo,

Marina

Do you love your morning coffee?

If you love your morning coffee, but have been nervous about its effects on your brain health, I have exciting news!
Here’s the story…
Today I received an interesting email and here it is for you.  Enjoy:

It turns out that coffee may help lower your risk of having a stroke, especially if it’s a regular part of your diet.
A new study, just published in Stroke: the Journal of the American Association, seems to show that the more coffee (or green tea) people drink, the lower their risk of having a stroke.
This is especially good news because, aside from water, coffee and tea are the most popular beverages in the world. Here’s just some of what the study uncovered:
People who drank at least one cup of coffee per day had a 20% lower risk of stroke.
People who drank at least one cup of coffee per day had a 32% lower risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (this condition causes about 13% of strokes).
People who drank 2 to 3 cups of green tea each day had a 14% lower risk of stroke.
DESIGN: The study examined the coffee and green tea drinking habits of over 82,000 adults, between the ages of 45 to 74, and followed them for an average of 13 years.
CONCLUSION:  Dale Webb, D.Phil., says: “We welcome this study, which suggests that the benefits of antioxidants in coffee and green tea offset the potential harm from caffeine. The results demonstrate higher consumption of green tea and coffee might reduce the risks for stroke, especially for intracerebral hemorrhage.”
SUGGESTION: As in all things, moderation is recommended. If you already drink a cup of coffee each day, this study seems to show there’s no reason to change that behavior. In fact, your morning coffee may be helping protect you from a stroke!
