THE JOY OF LISTENING IN THE SILENCE
OF NATURE
Have you spent much time recently in nature...
just listening?
Listening to the birds....
the wind in the trees...
the leaves rustling....
So you hear the trees responding?
Have you ever introduced yourself to
a tree?
I learned about this practice form Amos Clifford in Santa Rosa, California some years ago.
Trees have an amazing system of connection
through their roots! When you connect
with just one tree....
it will pass on what it knows to
the other neighboring trees.
Nature is calling to us to come back...
to return to being in nature...
and listening...
and hearing...
and enjoying the gift of
the trees...the river...the skies...
the flowers.
In addition, taking time away from our phones, the television, the radio, the computer
is so important during this time when there is
so much uncertainty going on all around.
Nature helps to keep our system balanced,
to quiet our nervous system which can become
very stimulated by all the input from the outside
world.
Take a break from all the media...
and walk into nature and truly
sense the difference it makes!
As we come to the end of these 21 Days of Listening, I invite you to carry on your practice and step into
the midst of nature....
and just sit....
or walk....
and listen with new ears....
to the sounds around!
Thank you for joining me on this journey!
Happy Listening...

The 10 Minute Miracle: Listening to Children
Children thrive when listened to and
communicated with on a regular basis.
If a child is acting out, withdrawn or creating
a disturbance on a regular basis, this may be their way
of saying to you...
I'm hurting!
Can't you see me!?
Can't you hear me!?
Don't you care?
The 10 Minute Miracle is a basically a deep way of listening to a child, so they feel heard!
Listening to a child sends a message to them:
You matter!
I care about you!
What you say is important!
I love you!
If you are having a challenge with a child,
I invite you to listen to this program on
BlogTalkRadio.com/VoiceOfChange
and see if it is supportive in your situation.
Feel free to contact me if you'd like support in your particular situation.
I offer a complimentary 15 minutes session to see
if the way I work with families if right for you.

21 Day Challenge of Expansion
On my radio program, I invited listeners
to embark on a
21 DAY CHALLENGE of EXPANSION!
As I came to post here regarding this "Challenge & Expansion" and was
reviewing a variety of images to accompany
this blog, I came across this one of a
house under construction.
I feel it is the perfect image for this blog!
EXPANSION with STABILITY
Even though we may want to expand and actually
at times, this is VERY important to do, especially these days...
Can we do this and still remain stable?
Just as a house is built...a huge expansion is created...
and let it is built on a firm foundation, allowing it to
be so stable.
What is the stable foundation we can provide for our self
during times of great expansion?
In addition, just like this house has many room,
what are the "rooms" you'd like to expand?
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: Although I originally thought
my 21 Day Challenge/Expansion would be in one area,
it turned out expanding into a couple of other areas also.
Although, this feels right, it does involve MUCH change...
and I feel I do need to be very aware of remaining
stable in the process.
SELF ENQUIRY QUESTIONS:
Are you up for a 21 Day Challenge of Expansion?
What areas do you want to consider for such an expansion?
If this appeals to you, feel free to sign up on this website..
and join us.
This is an on-going conversation on my radio program.
