Pursuing my Dreams: Sabbatical October 1-14

When you allow yourself to dream...

When you allow yourself to have wants...

There is an invitation to nourish your soul in the present moment by taking steps forward to bring your desires to life.

In the first two weeks of October, I have the honor of learning Qigong Healing from Master Robert Peng in New York.  Robert Peng grew up in Hunan, China, beginning his Qigong training at the age of 8.  Through intense practices of meditation, movement forms, acupressure, fasting, and more, he developed and honed powerful healing abilities.  Now he generously shares his knowledge in online and in-person classes. 

Robert's Qigong Healer training is offered annually, and has been calling to me for a year.  While I have absolute clarity and intention to take the class, my mind has been oscillating on the timing.  Should I wait until the kids are grown up?  October is a busy time in my household with birthdays, concerts, games, races, award ceremonies, and more.  It's never a good time to take 2 weeks away from your family and career.  

Now?  Later?  

Over the last 6 months, the decision point became clear through philosophies of expansion.

I've been reading about the ever-expanding quality of the Universe.  Literally, galaxies are moving away from each other at increasing rates.  Space is infinite, and growing!

Societal advancement, too, is ever-expanding.  100 years ago, we never could have guessed that technology would bring personal computers, central heating, phones, and dishwashers.  In that vane, we can't imagine what the next 100 years will bring.  

As we extend this concept to our own lives, we notice that there is always movement, change, and growth for each of us. Our lives are ever-expanding.  We may set a goal and 'achieve our potential', only to find that more potentials have opened up.  

Humans are always experiencing and learning.  We can choose to learn passively, sitting on the couch, watching what life brings to us, and reacting to our circumstances.  Or we can choose to learn intentionally by focusing on the growth and experiences that we desire.  As long as we are alive, our situations and perceptions are shifting.

Waiting to fulfil our dreams leaves too much to chance.  We can't know what our future holds.  If we wait 5 years for the 'kids to be grown', the same opportunities may not be available anymore.  In that time, we personally expand in various ways.  Our focus changes.  We take on different priorities.  Both our opportunities and our intentions are ever-expanding.  Do we want to expand passively or intentionally?

I choose to live in the Present moment.  I choose to follow opportunities in this Now, and take an active role in choosing Joy in my trajectory.  

There is no time like NOW to follow your dreams.  

Stop waiting, or life will choose for you.

All of this to say, Live Your Light sessions and classes will be closed from October 1-14.  I am beyond grateful for this opportunity to learn from Master Peng.  I appreciate my husband and teen children for their everlasting support, as I play with energy and experience Spirit.

I can't wait to bring back new techniques, metaphors, healing tools, and a brighter Light to share with each of you.

I can already feel it...this is going to be profound.
