UnWRAPPED – ♥ – Juicy Heart
Posted: January 10, 2012 in Construction, Learning, RandomTags: Creating something new, Gratitude, Phillip Coupal Coaching Counselling Bodywork
Today I am UnWRAPPED
I usually carefully put myself together, wrapping myself up, making certain non of the loose ends are showing. There seems to be no wrapping today. I am full of all of my passions and full of all of my fears and full of all of the joys of my life.
I am particularly aware of how raw I feel when I hear, inconsistencies and unbalanced elements. Hearing imbalances, untruths, lies has me feel a little raw today. The world can be cruel and unkind. I will need to be extra generous with my own self care.
I will be sweet and kind and generous and finally extraordinarily gracious with myself in order to compensate for the: gas lighting, crazy making, unbalanced emotional response that takes place in me as I hear lies or untruths.
The sweetness and graciousness will allow me to glow. The glow will let me be safe and know that it is alright to be UnWRAPPED.

I want a little sugar

Nudge – ♥ – Juicy Heart

Nudge…
Sometimes all I really want is a small gentle nudge. Most times my mind and my being gives me a huge aggressive and demanding push. I never respond to pushing and shoving in a nice way. Points me to retraining myself to be move of what I actually want and a lot less of what I do not want.
Today I will be gentle and take it easy. I will listen to the truth of what my heart wants.

Pretty much everything is not as it seems. There are always layers and layers under and over and in and out.
Today I will look through the reflection and see what is under the surface. Today I will look further inside and outside to see what is.

Just A LITTLE – ♥ – Juicy Heart

Just a LITTLE!
Just a LITTLE is all it takes to create a sense of motion and action. Just a little proaction, that is really all it takes to start the ball in motion. Just a LITTLE is all it can take to have me feel much better and more accomplished.
Yesterday I thought that I would just take care of a small job and viola there it is a whole job completed. Yes!, I had to rid my mind of all of the judgements. Yes!, I had to concentrate on just the small little piece. Yes!, I had to tell myself “this is a work in progress.” Yes!, I had to keep moving and pushing ahead.
Now the job is done and I feel inspired to take on another job. I wonder where this will lead?
Today I will feel and be successful and proactive at getting the job done!

Start Close IN – ♥ – Juicy Heart

Today fresh and new.
Starting from yesterday where I had to take a step I did not want to take. I wonder what will come today and which step I will take… I love this poem it is so on about looking inside to begin.
From David Whyte
START CLOSE IN
Start close in,
don’t take the second step
or the third,
start with the first
thing
close in,
the step
you don’t want to take.
Start with
the ground
you know,
the pale ground
beneath your feet,
your own
way of starting
the conversation.
Start with your own
question,
give up on other
people’s questions,
don’t let them
smother something
simple.
To find
another’s voice,
follow
your own voice,
wait until
that voice
becomes a
private ear
listening
to another.
Start right now
take a small step
you can call your own
don’t follow
someone else’s
heroics, be humble
and focused,
start close in,
don’t mistake
that other
for your own.
Start close in,
don’t take
the second step
or the third,
start with the first
thing
close in,
the step
you don’t want to take
