The Next Wave

Today was the last day of Influencing with Intention. This one went further, faster and with greater intensity than any that I've experienced before. This one is testimony to the degree to which people are both willing and able to engage for their own evolution.

There were some incredible moments of compelling discovery and creative thinking. There were many, many moments of raw and jagged truths - the kind that we spend most of our lives moving away from, burying them deeper and deeper in the recesses of our own thoughts, only to discover that they are the very thing that we've been seeking all our lives to open the portal to a better life. Funny how that happens.....

We laughed a lot! Out loud and frequently! Not the polite chuckles and giggles of the sedate classmates but the big, deep belly laughs that show up when people who trust and care about each other gather 'round the table to catch up with each other.

Yesterday was 'story telling' day - the day that each participant has the opportunity to tell their story (completely and without interruption - no matter how long it takes). As always, it was an incredible experience to simply bear witness as another human being finds and defines their truth; and in that moment, is forever freed of its burdens. It is both humbling and uplifting to be given such a gift; to be able to bear witness to an awakening soul as the eyes are beginning to open and we discover ourselves.

I am grateful to each who was there. I don't know what 2008 holds and if this is indeed, my last pass at IWI, I have been honored with an expression of this process that has awakened something new in me.

Breathing is good.....
