I was 7 months into clinic after graduating. I turned up every Saturday to an empty space.
One day I finally let myself listen to my own inner wisdom which knew it was something internal that was blocking me. I couldn't ignore it anymore. So I turned to a mantra.. "Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha" - otherwise known as The Green Tara Mantra. I sat on my floor and recited the mantra for over a 1/2 hour. When I rose, I received my first phone call for a booking - ever! That booking was a child. Working with that child has led into every area of my clinic since. Maybe it was the surrender. The determination to conquer the fear. Maybe it was 'coincidence".. But internally what it represented was a giving over to the power and love within myself and all of us. I felt like I was placing all of my internal sufferings into the feminine womb to allow love to soothe. I felt link I was calling in the energy of the feminine to hold myself and my clients within my space. You don't have to do the same mantra, but I encourage you to find a mantra that works for you. Here are: * 7 from The Chopra Centre * 12 Chakra Mantras * In a simplified form * Tibetan and Sanskrit Mantras If you have others please share in the comments below!

Hands up if you've connected to an idea, gone to action it and you've found someone already doing it in a beautiful way?!
Or if you haven't even started because there are other people more confident, more 'put together'.. I'm not here to give you the run down on self worth and the fact that your voice is just as worthy as everyone else. We've done years of self development. We know this. It's basic stuff. So why do we still compare? Why do we still stop ourselves? Because when your putting to action things you've never done before, that ego, that limbic system is going to adeptly and swiftly give you loads of excuses as to why you shouldn't step out of the place you are now. It's going to turn up the dial on lethargy, it's going to give you a bit of paralysation and it's going to sit back and wait for you to get distracted. And hey that's normal! I wouldn't expect any less from your nervous system/ego. It's just trying to protect you from the dreaded shame. But here is the thing.. why shouldn't you? even if someone is doing it better why shouldn't you? why shouldn't you? Why else are you here, having done all those years of study, having been led up this path for who knows how long, with the means and support to get to where you are now, with that idea that you have now, with that want that you have now.. My advice: just do it. The world isn't going to blow up if you do! Post your comparasonitis creation in the comments below! |
