One Voice

Bev Pugh

“United we stand, divided we fall.” ~ A phrase used throughout history in reference to governments

Happy New Year everyone!

I would like to share a very interesting analogy. This analogy is about the way we personally govern ourselves, and the way governments rule countries. It compares us human beings to the US system of government. It illustrates how we either self-sabotage (ie. rule ourselves ‘badly’) or integrate our power and move forward to what we want.

In the American system there are 3 levels of government:

  • The Executive
  • The Legislative
  • The Judiciary

The analogy has us look at ourselves from the point of view of all three of these levels of government. They exist inside of us.

  • The Executive part of us decides what we want and what is really important to us.
  • The Legislative part of us is our thoughts, perceptions, and the actions we take.
  • The Judiciary is the judgments of right or wrong within ourselves.

When we are well balanced, all three levels of government within ourselves are integrated and working together to achieve the outcome we choose.

However, many of us are out of balance, which means the levels of government within ourselves are not working together. We have the Executive part of ourselves deciding something is important. Yet, the Legislative defaults to old beliefs that do not support the Executive branch. And then we have the Judicial part of us judging our value, worth, and ability to create what we want so that we end up out of balance. All the levels of government within us are arguing with each other, and we can become stale and stuck and repetitive.

To really get back in our power, we need to integrate the parts of ourselves into one voice. Many of us have different voices inside of ourselves and we are ‘chasing our tails’ rather than being a united voice. Much like the three levels of government!

For myself, I know when I am integrated and when I am out of harmony. My physical body tells me, my emotional body acts up, or I just don’t create what I want.

This would be an amazing year for all of us to watch our focus and keep committed to unifying the different parts of ourselves into one voice.

Personally I talk to myself in the third person, and take the time to clarify what I really want to create. Then I direct the other ‘voices’ in me to get in line with the highest part of me.

As we create peace within ourselves, that will ripple out and have a significant effect on those around us.

Have a great year!

Tasting vs. Talking

 

“All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.” ~ A Christmas Carol

Have you ever tried to taste a word? A very wise monk in Japan said that at this time of year we hear and say so many beautiful words… joy, love, appreciation, and more. His message to me was “don’t talk them, but instead taste them”. I have always remembered this sage advice. If you taste them, your whole being reverberates with the true essence of these words. When we taste them, rather than say them, our vitality, health and happiness reflects the true depth and power of these words. This is good!!

This is my experience. Let’s take the word joy. As I say “joy”, I focus on the sensation of it rolling off my tongue, and visualize myself actually tasting the word as it comes out of my mouth. I found as I focus on tasting it rather than saying it, I can feel sensations go through my entire body. It’s like my heart pops open and I feel really good!

I feel we can bring a whole different meaning and sensation inside of us when we taste words that hold a lot of power and love. It really helps with our creativity and wisdom quotient! Give it a try.

This is such a powerful season. I know there are many of us who are missing loved ones. It is a very sentimental season. For all of us, this season is a heart opener as we all hold those we love close to our hearts.

Remember that when our hearts are open, we have the opportunity to grow inside and retrain our monkey minds. This is everywhere in literature. We don’t grow from negativity or worry, we grow from imprinting the good thoughts and feelings we want inside of us.

How do we imprint? By having an open heart, and coming from a feeling of openness to love and appreciation.

This is a great season to imprint more openness and loving ways of being in life. Taste the lights, music, and spirit of this season. The more lightness we imprint, the more our creativity and smartness increases. We build beautiful sense memories inside of us. We want to bump out any old sense memories that don’t support us.

Great loving memories strengthen our immune system and our health and happiness quotient! I truly believe our health quotient goes up the happier we are.

So let’s all strengthen our immune system through “tasting” and “feeling” the depth of words that open our hearts.
Happy Holidays Everyone!

Mastery Practice Tool

At the end of each day, close your day with a gratitude meditation. Begin with the present moment and go back over your day to when you first awoke. Find the beautiful moments in your day and feel gratitude. In so doing, you acknowledge yourself and everyone around you.

Testimonial

Bev's Laughing and Breathing Belly Workshop for Children was one of the best I have attended. She has a gifted ability to gently connect with children and teach and share with them her techniques of belly breathing, rooting, mind vacations and laughter. These techniques soothe and calm them whenever they feel overwhelmed or anxious - be at school, home or before bed time. Whether you have an overwhelmed pre-schooler or a test-anxious pre-teen, Bev's approach works! I love that she gave parents the tools to model and share these fundamentals of meditation with their children. I would encourage families to take her course...your children will thank you and you will benefit from ways to keep yourself calm and allow wisdom in.
