the path of healing

For the past few years I have been on a journey of exploration, spirituality and enlightenment.  One thing that is clear to me, is that there is no "arrived" point as I had once assumed but instead, an unfolding of layers of knowing, healing and truth that is continually revealed when we are ready for each new "remembering" of who we really are.

And a funny thing has happened along the way.

In the midst of healing old beliefs, old paradigms and old wounds something rather ironic occurred.  Yesterday, I got a call from my doctor about a very suspect result that is showing all the medical indicators of precancerous cells and the flurry of invasive tests, treatment and the prevention full-court-press action that is now suggested. 

How interesting.

One might think that all this healing work would have prevented such an occurrence but it would seem, I have manifested the opposite.

I remain in curiosity about all this and here is the part I am celebrating.

I feel remarkably calm.  Remarkably centred and remarkably sure that I will be writing another note about my remarkable healing very, very soon.

I just thought I would share my peaceful moment.

what sandboxes are you playing in?

I simply love this question because sandboxes immediately take you to a place of play.  A place of child-like wonder.  A place of creativity and a place of having fun.  When we apply this idea of being playful, creative and fun to our "work", well you start to get an idea of where this idea is going.  What if our work felt like hanging out in a sandbox?

I think that would be a good thing but how easy is it to put into practice?

We often hear that work should feel like play but I often catch myself separating the two.  Getting some work done and then planning some play.  Or having some play and then getting 'back to work'.  Either way, I often do not see them as co-existing partners that might happen at the same time.  But what If I could?  What if we all could?

Sounds kind of...well...fun!

Consider trying the following exercise...

Step 1: Make a little list.

List your most important realms of your life (family, career, money, health, relationships, spirituality etc...) and give them your personal sandbox rating between 1-10 (1 being no fun being had here and 10 an over-the-top fun zone)

Step 2: Get a little curious.

Notice which areas seem to boast a particularly low sandbox score and pick three you would like to raise the fun factor in.

Step 3: Inject a little fun.

A sandbox isn't complicated and neither should your life be.  Start small.  Pick one thing you could do that would add some playfulness in each of your three most important areas to you and watch what happens.  Hint: the more outrageous the fun you inject, the more noticeable your results!

With all the press about The Secret and The Law of Attraction these days the phrase "everything is energy" is becoming the new buzz words but we can get awfully serious about this manifestation stuff.  I know I can for sure and chances are I might have some company in this arena.

I hope you join me.

Consider this your official invitation to get out your bucket and think of your whole life as a  bunch of sandboxes you get to play in. 

Everyday you choose to.
