June 17, 2009Renewed sense of aliveness

Filed under: This Week in the World by merylrunion |

It seems many people are experiencing things in delightful new ways. Here are some comments I’m hearing.

“I’m experiencing something I haven’t felt for a long time. It feels like…happiness.”

“My friends think I’ve changed, and it’s true that I have taken a 180 degree turn, not from who I was, but from how I express myself. I can’t do box living anymore.”

“I’m not able to get comfortable with things that seem untrue lately. I’m hungry for direct connection.”

” I’m seeing things that were always there, but I’m just now taking the time to notice them. It gives me a sense of peace.”

“I’m allowing myself to pursue pleasure these days, and it’s working for me.”
“I’m quietly excited. I haven’t felt this way for a long time.”

What is particularly lovely is when people describe their experience in detail. One friend took me on a tour of how he hears music. I’ll never listen to music the same way again. Another shared her inner experience of bike riding. It made me what to take it up.

Could all the economic turmoil and change be creating a new sense of freedom in people? Or am I listening better? Perhaps it’s both. Because I’ve been experiencing the same thing. I’ve also been making choices that encourage those experiences. I hope you are too.

Speak Strong gives you all kinds of tools to help you listen to what’s happening inside, and to translate that into authentic communication.

I’d love to hear what awakenings you’re experiencing, how you see, hear, taste, touch and embrace beauty, and what’s working for you.
