Stripping the props away. You are enough.
....and an invitation to join me for the next (no fee) 9 Week Meditation Program themed 'Sacred Power'
Last week I mentored one of my most favourite people in this world. We shared seven delicious hours over the week reviewing her business and some decisions that she recently made on advice.
That advice had her reduce the length of a program from six to three months.
By cutting the time in half what was infinitely more reduced was the client’s ability to integrate the learnings into their life, their intimate connection to self, others and the community, and most, most, most importantly - their journey home.
In short, the depth that is so vital to my friend and her work was compromised. Her words were ‘What are we actually doing in this program? We’re changing the world.’ And the stories she tearfully told me of some of the 60+ people who have been through this six month program demonstrated the absolutely phenomenal, impactful work these people are doing.
Whilst she began to successfully ‘sell’ people into the three month program (not having yet started it), she knew in her heart that the value would be compromised.
Whilst well intended, this advice came with the goal to ‘scale’ her business - to ‘scale capacity’ by lifting the lid on volume and the assumption that people would more easily ‘buy’ a three month program over a six month program.
However, what was absent in the decision to ‘scale’ was another perspective.
And now this becomes a multidimensional conversation.
🌟 Joy is scalable.
🌟 Deep intimate connection and belonging in ‘I’ve found my people’ is scalable.
🌟 Impact is scalable.
🌟 Authenticity is scalable.
🌟 Integrity is scalable.
By halving the time spent with her clients, by compromising the depth that her previous clients had experienced that had created enormous impact in their worlds, the true scalability of joy, connection, impact, authenticity and integrity would be amiss. The absence of these highly creative and generative states of being would have its own consequence which I’m sure you can feel as you read.
We can get so caught up in all the external bells and whistles and strategies that we think we need in order to create momentum. We perceive that it works for others and sometimes it genuinely does, so why shouldn’t we follow suit?
I see it all the time. And I did it for many years until I faced reality that it was creating the opposite of what I wanted - stress instead of flow, need instead of allowing, manipulation of self instead of authenticity, thinking and doing instead of intuition and knowing and finally the sum of all of those parts - a fledging business and anxiety versus peace.
I’ve been flabbergasted over the last month at how complicated we make things at times.
I feel like I’m being pummelled by Love to remind you that it’s so much more simple than we think and that you are enough, and so am I.
You knowing, your intuition, your desires, your callings, your divine authenticity and expression, your courage, your humanity, your humility and honesty, your sweetness and boldness, your vulnerabilities and failures, your uncertainties and convictions.
All of this combined makes you the most perfect grand orchestration of creation in its aliveness to call you home!
How would we know white if we did not know black, how would we know up if we did not know down, and left and right?
Very little comes in a straight line, as I keep reminding my son Joel in his final year of school.
Sometimes we need to forget that we are creation in motion, sometimes in alignment, and other times not in order to re-align and remember.
Sometimes we need to compromise our hearts in order to remember the purity and power of our heart’s deepest desires and joys.
Sometimes we need to deny our own knowingness and intuition in order to remember the infinite creative power of who we inherently are.
Last night I facilitated a meditation for the Sydney Queer Meditation & Social community which I love doing a few times per year.
At the end of the meditation I asked for some brave souls to share what they received. Someone who in his words is new to ‘living a conscious life’ fed back the clarity he received about his business through a re-connection with his grandmother during that meditation. The joy I had!
I shared my joy with him and said to the group that I feel really charged at the moment to invite people to let go of all the external strategies, to strip them all away, and to experiment with the truth that we are enough - to go to that place that the person who is new to ‘living a conscious life’ went to last night.
Everything great I have experienced has been borne from my connection with the universal mind. Strategies may then arrive but from a foundation of being enough - already, and from a place of authenticity and therefore alignment.
And so I have some questions for you.
Who’s up to strip the props away?
Who’s up to experiencing that you are enough?
Who’s up to seeing that Love has bigger plans than any plans you could ever make?
Who’s up for really awesome internal and therefore external alignment?
As such and in summary, who’s up for experiencing their own ‘sacred power’?
Please join me on the next 9 Week Meditation Program that I will be delivering at NO fee to you.
