Bev and What’s Next

Bev

“Rather than planting the seeds, see what regenerates.” ~Chris Dierkes

Hello everyone,

As many of you know, I have been on a sabbatical. I love the work I do and the people who are courageous enough to step up to the plate and ask for help. Over the past year, I have stepped back and given myself space to just hang out. I have worked since I was 21, so it has been an interesting year for me!! Actually, I never really felt I was ‘working’… it always felt more like I was sharing and growing and bringing everyone with me as I grew.

Self-growth is truly an experiential experience. It takes awareness, commitment, devotion and accountability. It can be hard work, but it’s oh so rewarding!!!!!!! I have enjoyed every single step.

I can feel it is time for me to move into another part of me. The one that hasn’t really had the opportunity to play in different ways. I know there are parts of me that haven’t had full expression. My adulthood, like yours, has been mapped out with responsibilities. I am now in a place where responsibilities are no longer the same. That means that I can give myself the opportunity to listen to my impulses, and play in other ways that haven’t been available.

So yes, I am changing direction. The word is retirement. I know my first step out will be to continue to travel, and probably Northern India is the next place I will explore. How exciting is this?

Knowing me, I will continue to share in some way. I may send you newsletters as I experience some inspiration. There are many ways of sharing, and I look forward to see what comes up for me.

Is it okay to email me? Yes! I would love to hear from you, and have an update. I would love to respond.

My wish for you all is to love yourself enough to keep growing, and know that growth comes not from blaming others or your environment, but from what is going on inside of you. Keep fighting for yourself… the true playing field is inside you, not outside.

We all have the capacity to learn. Our power and our growth comes from our learning. As you go through life, be open to learning the pieces that are important for you. Take them on, and practice integrating them. They will become part of you. All of us have that capacity.

So, I would like to say to you all, “Go for it!”. It has truly been an honour working with you.

Thank you.

All my love,
Bev

Balance and Self-Regulation

balance

My eldest daughter, Holly, in India

“Self-regulate… we can re-balance ourselves in the moment.” ~Bev Pugh

November is a dark month. It’s important for all of us to bring as much lightness into our lives as we can, otherwise we get way too serious. Emotions like depression, anxiety, despair, and moodiness can really kick up.

It is essential for all of us that we self-regulate. This means we bring as much balance into our lives as we can on all levels – emotionally, physically, and mentally.

This is one of the ways I self-regulate. When I feel I am too serious or in a funk, I have taught myself to take action to bring myself into balance. Sometimes we can’t “fix” the challenge in the moment, but we can direct ourselves to bring in some levity. This, in the end, will help us be far more creative and wiser for whatever the challenge is.

I play this particular song and let my body sway and play along with it. The dog loves it! The cat remains unimpressed. My family just says, “there she goes again”. This is a song I would play for all ages… our children and grandchildren because they just “get” it, and us older ones because we know how important it is to bring lightness into our lives.

There is a great deal of serious stuff happening in the world right now. I find it is important for me to stay in charge of my focus so I don’t take on the fear, negativity and suffering that is out there. So I play this song, often in the morning while I am making breakfast. I do a fun jig and it takes me to a place of lightness and balance so any frown lifts and a smile comes in.

Balancing our emotions is very important. I have learned to take action when I feel moody. I listen to what the upset feeling has to say with sincerity and with the intention of no judgement. Then I go into my heart and ask myself how can I be the solution here? What part do I play in the solution and what part do I give back to the situation or the other person? Sometimes I play this wonderful song in order to breakthrough any negativity I am feeling.

Creating wonderful responses and solutions does not happen in a negative stance. It happens when our hearts are open and creativity can come in. So I play my song and I not only get happier, I get smarter!

This is not a bandage approach. It is a pure, transformative skill whereby we all can take responsibility for our awareness and our choice in each moment to bring ourselves into balance. Remember: bringing ourselves in balance helps us be more creative in how we live our lives.

If you haven’t pressed the magic button to hear the song, go for it now!

Open yourself up and also open up your family to the vibrations of more FUN!!!

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.
