Circles of Friends and Our Online Circle: Nature, Sense and Soul

I’ve been thinking a LOT about community lately. About the circles we create as women. About what those circles mean to us – to our hearts and our health and our VIVIDNESS. And I’ve been thinking about what happens when we fall out of touch with our circles. How STILL we become. How closed up and overwhelming life can feel. I am so blessed – I dance in circles of women everywhere in my life now -- softly, nia dancing, trance dance, you name it. I dance literally, at my events, encouraging them to find their own rhythm and relationships, hand clasped to hand as we move through space together. And I dance spiritually even as I mentor my Nature, Sense, Soul online group to become more attuned to their lives through sensuality.

What I want to encourage ALL of you to do right now is to think about the circles in YOUR life. Who do you clasp hands to? What women are spread with you and around you like the petals of a flower? Can you see them? And it’s OKAY if you can’t see them – we can ALL use more women gathered in circles in our lives. So your challenge RIGHT NOW, today, is to join (and even create) at least one circle. You can start by joining my Nature, Sense and Soul online circle. The women in that circle blow my mind with their nurturing wisdom and what they’re able to create from the exercise and meditations I lead them through. In sisterly spirit and LOVE for all of you guys and the friendships and circles you are creating, I am honored to invite you to bring your best friend for free when you become part of Nature, Sense and Soul. Bring her into our circle with you – now THAT is a holiday gift that will mean something to her and to the circle you create together as you go through the meditations and exercises. I’m also going to give YOU a gift of my VividExistence Toolkit (which you can see at http://bit.ly/7lq1M6 ). The online community starts very soon, and you can join for a one-time fee of $399 USD or if you need payments, you can pay in 6 monthly payments of $80. You can find all of the information on our online community and a few messages from participants at http://bit.ly/72bV08

I don’t want this to feel like a sales pitch to you guys. I just want to offer a very special way to participate in MY circle and join the women I play with throughout the year. I enjoy knowing every one of you. Start YOUR circle today – just reach out to a sister that you love and have lost touch with today and clasp hands in friendship with her, then invite in another friend… pretty soon it’s a circle and you’re supported and held in a beautiful, exciting way. “Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." ~Anais Nin

Love and light and CIRCLES! Leela

Give YOURSELF a Gift this Holiday

December is here! With it comes wondrous times with friends, holiday decorations, gifts… It’s easy to be literally swept away and to be so BUSY that we’re taken out of ourselves, transported from one hectic occasion to the next.

This is where the second stage of a Vivid Existence comes into our lives like an angel and gives us a strong foundation. This is where we practice GROUND. And yes, it is definitely a PRACTICE. In fact, it is a devotion. As you are RIGHT NOW, take a moment to stop, to breathe deeply, to stand and hold your arms out from your body and to squat down and feel the ground under your feet.

You ARE RIGHT NOW. You are not in your worries or your plans or the endless stream of thoughts in your head. You are in this moment. If you find yourself distracted by the chaos of others or your own endless, beautiful mind, you can do this simple exercise of stop, breathe, center and GROUND yourself to the moment you are in. Center your thoughts on the Earth.

Ultimately, we ARE the ground. We are part of everything around us. If you do not have a daily practice centered on grounding, consider learning a deeper, grounding devotion with VividExistence Body and Breath Meditation CD ( http://bit.ly/7QeW2C ). I have poured my teaching into this CD to support you through all of the five stages of your VividExistence: Sense, Ground, Mobilize, Harness and Express.

This week, take the time to GROUND and to be fully present for YOUR life. Use your senses to support your new experience with grounding and living in the moment. And enjoy seeing the effect that you can have on the people around you, as they spin and toil and SEE your calming, grounded experience, you will be given opportunities to help THEM ground as well.

Love Leela!
