Time for New Beginnings

Posted in personal growth, tagged "Adventures in Palmistry", "The Lands That Lie Between", Catherine, Foresight, Foresight Publications, making your life better, Manifesting Something Better, New Year's resolutions, personal growth, spring, The Practical Empath- Surviving and Thriving as a Psychic Empath on April 2, 2013 | 3 Comments »

Well, as of March 20th, we’ve officially entered spring, and as of April 1st, we’re a quarterof the way through the year 2013.

And both of these landmarks are the perfect times for new beginnings.

We tend to make resolutions at New Years- plans or goals for our lives for the year to come. Sometimes we achieve them, and sometimes we don’t. Either way, now is a good time to take stock.

What have we accomplished?
What have we not completed yet?
And what would we like to do with the remaining three quarters of 2013?

You have a lot of time left to learn/grow/achieve/ triumph/practice/perfect and make your life a better place to be living in. The journey of a lifetime begins with a single step, but you won’t get anywhere if you don’t take that step.

So what would you like to do in 2013? And how are you going to start?

Those Who Can (and Want to Get Even Better at It) Teach…

Rather late in posting today. Sorry, folks. I try to be reliable

I’m huddled here right now over the keyboard to my computer, writing this post as I print out the final handouts for my classes at Changing Times, Changing Worlds (and remembering how much two sided handouts are when you must do them manually …)

This year at the convention, I’ve ended up on three panels, doing a booksigning and running a totally amateur tea leaf reading experience , as well as teaching five classes. That and the fact that I hope to catch other people’s classes and panels, as well as meet some old friends and make some new ones means that I’m going to be a busy little Fairy Godmother.

Five classes- and three of them are brand new for this year’s con. I’m also remembering why its good to be teaching new classes and writing about new things. They say that, if you want to really learn something, teach it. My classes are all on things that I know, but, in setting them up to teach them, I’m seeing things about them I hadn’t seen before and I’m learning new dimensions of them.

Worth considering.

Is there something in your life that you want to get better at?

Then who could you teach it to?…

Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast – part II

Posted in Foresight Publications, Living in a Magickal Universe, personal growth, tagged "Adventures in Palmistry", "The Lands That Lie Between", Catherine, Foresight, Foresight Publications, Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast, The Practical Empath- Surviving and Thriving as a Psychic Empath, writing challenge on August 22, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Early on Thursday morning, I told you about the impossible writing challenge that I had set for myself (Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast).

How I only had until the 17th to complete this challenge.

How I’d worked hard, night and day, to accomplish something that seemed impossible.

How I was proud and happy of what I’d accomplished so far.

How I had done everything that I could, and now all that was left was the waiting.

And I invited you to join me in celebrating accomplishing things that I thought impossible and in waiting to see if it all worked out the way I’d hoped for.

Well, I’m pleased to announce that the proof galley that was my goal arrived in my hand midday on 8/16, and the final copy was released as of yesterday and I invite you to dance the happy writer’s dance with me again.

Since the deadline is past, I’m now free to explain the reason for this urgency. My father is the one who first got me interested in science fiction and fantasy tales when I was young. This book is my first urban fantasy novel andI had been planning for several years to dedicate this book to my father. Well, on Saturday we celebrated his birthday, and it was my honor to be able to present it to him as a birthday present from my husband and myself.

When I set this goal, it seemed impossible. Slightly more than 30 days to turn a story and a partly finished rough draft into a finished book to honor my dad…

But the “impossible” has happened, and this makes me very happy.

If urban fantasy is your thing, look for “The Lands That Lie Between”, and dance with me if you like.

Hoping that you can accomplish your impossible dream as well.

Inviting you folks to do the happy dance with me…

After several months of polishing and editing, and a week of struggling with Word and self-publishing software that wasn’t co-operating, I am pleased to announce that the next book from Foresight Publications is imminent.

My new book, The Practical Empath – Surviving and Thriving as a Psychic Empath was finally completed and submitted to the self-publishing process as of 4 pm on last Thursday.

And I have just been informed that the proof copy is winging its way in my direction, and will probably reach me within the next couple of days ( expected by 430 on Wednesday, but we shall see…)

It’s exciting…

If all goes well, I’m hoping to release The Practical Empath into general circulation within the next couple of weeks.

In the mean time, you’re all invited to be a part of my happy !

5 Minute Meditation – I Walk the Line

Posted in Alternative Health, Life Improvement, Living in a Magickal Universe, meditation, Metaphysical Basics, personal growth, Spirituality, tagged 5 minute meditation, Foresight, meditate while standing in line, presence in the now, walking meditation, whole body relaxation on September 15, 2011 | 1 Comment »

In the last post on 5 minute meditation, we talked about a way to incorporate meditation into your day while waiting. We did a whole body relaxation that can be done while waiting for a meeting, a doctor’s appointment or a car repair.

Now, let’s look at a different kind of meditation while waiting.

Let’s meditate while standing in line….

Everyone stands in line. At the grocery, at the post office, at a store or restaurant or amusement park. Standing in line is one of the biggest time wasters in every one’s life.

Unless you meditate while you do it.

We’re going be doing a miniature version of a walking meditation, while we’re standing in line.

Start by broadening your stance slightly, improving your base of support and balance. You can close your eyes if it seems safe to do so, otherwise you can do this meditation with your eyes open.

Take a deep breath, breathing out any tension or anxiety, as we did in the last meditation. (If it’s been a tough day, take as many deep breaths as you feel the need for.)

Briefly do a whole body run through – a quick version of the body relaxation we did last time. When you find tension in your body, stop and breath to relax it.

Bring your attention to your feet. Pay close attention to the contact your feet have with the ground – how your body pushes downwards against the earth, and the earth pushes up against your feet.

Sway gently back and forth. Focus on how the pressure and other sensations shift as different parts of your feet take more or less weight.

When the line permits, take one step forwards, but do it as s-l-o-w-l-y as you can without the people in line behind you throwing things at you.

Slowly lift one foot and swing it forwards through the air. Place your heel down, paying close attention to how that feels, then s-l-ow-l-y roll your weight onto your heel, over your arch, and onto the ball of the foot.

Then repeat, stepping s-l-o-w-l-y onto the other foot.

As you move onto the other foot, focus on how your first foot pushes off with your toes s-l-o-w-l-y.

And then repeat the process with the next step.

The process of presence in the now – of doing a simple action slowly and focusing totally on it can help to still the mind and relax the body.

And you’re doing it all while everyone else is wasting their time standing in line.

Clever you….

Catherine
