It’s ALL good. It’s ALL valid. REALLY. It’s direction is always forward, even on rewind.
Noticing in new ways. Making sense of it all. The magic of acceptance. The power of new awareness. Space to let it grow. Understanding new dimensions. Reaching out to and conversing with all of the parallel universes of me.
Beautiful people
I’ve been engaging help. Formal and informal. Structured and freestyle. It’s life-changing. Here’s just some of that help in the form of some beautiful people;
Today was the last session with the most fabulous Lindsay McLeod – and her Beta teleclass Recovering Perfectionists: an adventure into Body Harmony® . Blimey. Talk about new dimensions – I’m duly unleashed! Remote body work, stirring and uncovering like a skilled archeologist. Revealing relics from a bygone age. Ancestral and primal. And at the same time, experiencing the now. When you get the chance to work with Lindsay, DO IT!
Black and white. Stop and start. It’s rarely thus, even when we think it is so. Some things are more around the corner and back again than straight through the door and my monthly membership of master storyteller Amy Palko‘s Bloom By Moon venture has been just that. Twisting and turning my way through deep comprehension of me, myself and I via long established tales of wisdom, retold in a framework for expansion and a comforting cocoon all at once, you’ll want to join us in the moonlight if you’re keen to explore something new.
Next up, I’m soon to be sharing A Slice of Life with Darrah Parker, courtesy of the marvellous Roots of She giveaway, which I had the good fortune to win 🙂 Yes, you see REAL people really do win prizes. And even better – there are some wonderfully beautiful people who give them away. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! What is The Slice of Life Project? “It’s about saying that your life is just right the way it is.” It’s about finding another way to appreciate that fact. And registration for this next course is still open 😉
My life right now really is JUST RIGHT. It’s the connection running through all three of these courses / classes / communities. And that’s cool. There’s no job title for it, of course. Nor a conventional pay cheque. But it’s necessary – an ABSOLUTE requirement. This process. The rituals. The engagement. The commitment. The perspective.
I am here. I am now. All is well.
Yes yes yes!!! Love this post, Julie. It so perfectly captures that sense of personal exploration that pushes past the point at which you can take or leave it, and plunges into a necessity. Deep work, indeed.
Oh and I’m so glad to have you in Bloom by Moon – in fact, ‘glad’ seems too glib. I’m joyous, excited and enormously grateful that I get to share the 2011 goddess & moon journey with you!
Much love
Amy

Deep and utterly delicious, Amy 🙂 x
Truly you are an inspiration Julie. Thank you once again for sharing so much of your journey with others. It helps us (me) keep going too x
I totally love that image you’ve included – is it one of yours? I love the swish in the water… took a video clip this morning of trees rippling in the water… very trippy 🙂
Oh, Joanna – thank you – sometimes I worry that none of it will make sense to other folks, so the fact that it’s connecting with at least one person (especially you) means the world 🙂
The image is from one of our trips during last year’s house swap adventures. Here is the Flickr link http://www.flickr.com/photos/organikal/4835157016/in/set-72157624132748789/ It was taken at the stunning Algar Waterfalls in Alicante region, Spain.
What deliciousness Julie. I love the flower flowing through the swirling water. ‘It’s all good. It’s ALL valid’. Absolutely!
And thank you for your deep enjoyment of our explorations, that was a gift for me too x
(((hugs))) to you dearest Lindsay for the whole experience.
