My good friends, Kate and Julia, at ConsciousDivas.com are hosting a fabulous event with motivational speaker and best selling author, Gabrielle Bernstein this coming September!  Gabrielle is launching her brand new book titled: Spirit Junkie: A Radical Road To Self Discovery. What a great moment to share the magic!

Gabrielle’s personal story is amazing. Several years ago, she went through a miserable “Rock Bottom” time in her life, where she questioned if there was ever a way out for her.  It wasn’t until an Intuitive Tug shook her awake, realizing that she was the only one who had the power to change her life around. By embracing and learning Self Love, she finally saw the beautiful Miracles that always hovered around her.

If you’ve ever felt or currently feel like your life could use a boost, you’ll benefit amazingly from this live event!

Gabrielle Bernstein will be in Vancouver to promote her new book on September 26^th, 2011

If you purchase early, your ticket price includes a copy of Gabrielle’s new Book, Spirit Junkie. Got to love treats!

Look forward to seeing you there!!

My body knows the language of overwhelm inside and out, after years of being tested time and again. It’s developed its own subtle dialect, telling me exactly (yet indirectly) what is going on in my life. With a bevy of sound effects – the ones my body creates and the ones I verbally release – we communicate back and forth, as if in conversation. With each creak, crack and pop, my outer life is expressed through my body.

Lately my body is giving me a ‘blow-me-over’ message. It’s this cheeky nudge of ‘haven’t you learned this by now’…‘we’ve been here before’…‘what are you doing, again?’ Yup, you’d think I’d learn by now to listen to my body, and for the most part I do. However, it’s a crazy lingo it speaks.

Like for some reason, when my right knee hurts, it means my mid-back is twisted out of alignment. When my fingers ache, it’s not all the typing I do – that would be too obvious! Instead, it’s a weather change coming. Such barometric shifts used to be marked by a headache, so I am relieved in a strange way to replace them with crinkling fingers. Then, there’s heavy sinuses signifying stress on the rise. To which I bring out my neti pot to wash away niggles of stress. There’s waking up in the morning with nausea to let me know caution is needed that day – my very own lighthouse beacon!

But then there are times my body sings with messages of joy, validating all I am and all I do. My favourite moment is when my stomach gurgles when I get an accurate ‘right-on-the-spot’ intuitive hit with a client. It lights me up, showing me the way! For these moments alone, I bear the translations of my body language when it’s in overwhelm.

So, this week with my right knee squeaking, and my neck crackling whenever I turn my head to the left, do you think I’m feeling overwhelmed? Oh, yes. Thanks to my early detection and communication system – my body – I can now step into action to do some well-needed self-care.

What does your body tell you? What language does it speak? Have you figured out its code yet? It’s well worth the chat!

Then I go to attend an event. Not an everyday activity, but a monthly networking-type event that I maybe attend a few times a year, muddled in with all the other social and networking meetups. Only as I open the door, I sense that something is different…something is familiar.

Before I even fully look up, a hug is wrapped around my body. Immobilized with a loving hug, I hug back. I know this hug. Indeed, it’s my precious friend Michele. Rather than wait a few weeks for us to finally get organized to arrange a tea date, the Universe decides it’s the right time for us to meet today, at this time and place.

Why? In chatting it soon become clear. We are meant to be connecting, collaborating, co-creating. Within mere sentences we are onto a master plan – not to rule the world, but to travel it. Far beyond what any formal networking meetup could have sparked, we ignited with possibility filled smiles.

How can you set out your ‘welcome mat’ to invite in wonderfully unexpected meetups in your life? Open the door!

Thanks for your key points about water as vital to our survival as individuals. Certainly, by caring for ourselves individually, we are then able to better care for each other and the planet. Blessing water can be celebrated with daily action, by blessing your own water and the water of the world. Whether with each sip of drinking water or lap of the ocean waves, extend your water wishes!

Cheers…W.
