I know a thing or two about Skin. My own personal horrendous skin story is what got me started in investigating what creates health, and also what creates healthy relationships, healthy wealth, healthy living on every level and in every nook and cranny of life. I keep discovering all the time. What ever it is that you would like to create in 2008, I can guarentee that you will need to shed a little old skin to start allowing the new to emerge. It takes a degree of willingness. Willingness to recognize the fear that comes up to block the transitions and move through it. The willingness to keep practicing. The willingness to shift.
I had a teacher who said that change is the persistance of sameness. That line sticks with me as I see how so many people change jobs only to find similar problems each time. They change boyfriends/girlfriends/husbands/wives only to have the same sort of problems come up with each new person. They change addictions even to what they consider better ones. Trade in alcohol for example for cigarettes or cigarettes for chocolate or shopping or sex, etc. Changing in this manner doesn't give anyone what they really want and that is freedom. You don't get free from addiction by trading it for another addiction. You don't get free from yourself and the limitations that you believe in until you are willing to stand up for yourself and shift. That doesn't mean that you have to do it alone either. I'm sure that the boom of coaches has blossomed not because the "new age" movement has shifted into a type of therapy where people get to feel a little better but are forever changing in the sameness of themselves but because having support from someone who knows at a deep level with skills to guide you can help you transform and shed that old skin. I could never train anyone to have the skills I have. I earned these skills not in a classroom but from experiences, and guides that had been through a lot themselves. For me being a coach has been somewhat like an artist that is always creating art and does not do it for 14hours or more a day because someone is paying them but because their very exhistance moves them to create. They say Calder always had something in his hands being formed into a sculpture or something, even when he was relaxing, socializing, all the time. I am continually shedding my own skin to become more and more of who I desire to be. It's thrilling when I do it with myself or get to coach someone else to be so much more than they ever thought possible. I have had clients leave too because it scared them to start having everything they wanted or they leave because they now have what it is they came for. Food is one transformational tool and a lovely place to start. It will support your shifting and you will really see how the new glowing you will begin to emerge!!! Are you willing?
