I sat exhausted by the on going argument in my mind. I felt
such a deep longing to continue in this feminine work. The Dance Your Power weekend had been
homecoming for my soul.
The music echoed in me, stirring emotions and inviting my
body to move in new unrestricted ways. The time I spent outdoors, inhaling the rich scent of forest, the wind on my skin, and cool spongy earth underfoot
reconnected me to my wild self. I flirted with nature. Unplugged from computers
and cell phone, I plugged into another kind of web, one that soothed and
imparted ancient wisdom. Here I found my vitality and playfulness restored.
I didn’t understand it all, and I wasn’t able to eloquently
articulate my craving for more.
With the offering of more in front of me, all my mind could
churn out was the financial digits and obligations:
Pay off mortgage
IRA’s and stocks
College fund
I remembered a tool I had in my coach’s box. Gathering my
wits about me I blew off the dust and put it to use.
What was my body telling me to do?
My body gave a loud clear yes. I used the Body Sourcing tool
again at my doubting mind's insistence. Definitely YES! The yes was beyond question.
Now my only choice was to trust my body’s wisdom over the
calculated cynical data of my mind. That day I decided to trust.
Logically it made no sense to invest in another training. I
already had a few coaching and leadership certifications under my belt, and
those hadn’t paid off yet, so why say yes to this one?
We had a clear financial map laid out and this training was
not on the map, in fact it would mean a significant detour.
In the years that followed, the economic crisis hit the
states. Decimating the value of our homes. A good portion of our retirement was
sucked into the black hole of wall streets implosion. The college funds became
a source of back up income.
Only one investment I made was rock solid. The Vividly Woman Embodied Leadership training. It lives in my cells. It has not only transformed my life
was but is rippling out of me to transform other women’s lives. Body Sourcing
had led me to my truth. This truth was now serving me in ways I could never
have imagined, finally a return on my investment!
I look back and shudder at the possibility of not heeding my
body’s call. If I had let my mind be the master that day, it would have been a
few more coins tossed in the toilet of America’s economic bowl and I would have
been left only with this ache for more and another regret.
