What is? In class last night, I asked this question. I received three answers I'd like to share. Connection with the Creator; following a path, discovering my authentic self. Put together, it might sound like: Following a path to discover my authentic self in a way that connects me to the creator. I agree with all of this, but I want to add that we are not EVER separate from the creator. That is discovering your authentic self. Discovering the truth of this is spirituality. The ultimate truth is that NO ONE is separate from the creator. Ah, that is the spiritual path! Life - what is life? It is nothing but a place to practice. Practice living the way you want to be. Practice your skill in being spiritual. Practice to bring all aspects of your being into alignment. Practice, practice, practice - and ENJOY the journey! Here are several statements you can address (Yes or No) to ponder your depth of spiritual expeirences.
We are all emerging stars! Healing is really a process of emergence. Life seems to be a time when we work hard to prevent ourselves from being who we really are. It's not conscious nor deliberate, we do the best that we know how, but the lesson we take for all those "NO's" and all those "be careful's" is that somehow, we don't measure up. Some how we aren't good enough. Somehow we don't know enough to do it right. So we give up our power, stop listening to ourselves, and try and please those important to us. Want a laugh? Those important people are doing the very same thing!! No wonder things get crazy! Sickness is a wonderful exercise in discovering who we are and what we want. Sickness can also be an excuse, a justification, a mechanism of control, or a way of making amends. Everything is a spiritual journey! There's no way to make it wrong! There are faster journeys, slower journeys, interesting journeys and boring journeys, but they all get us there. So don't sweat it - enjoy it - no matter what kind of journey you are on. In fact, it's a secret, if you enjoy it, then and only then can you change it We are body, mind and spirit. We live in the past, present and future. There is this life and past lives. All impact our state of being. This means that healing happens on many levels and that is key. You can remove symptoms, but you only heal if you eliminate the cause(s) and cause is found on many levels. Serious diseases require serious work - deep work. Work that addresses all levels of our beingness. Emotional work, psychological work, spiritual work, past life work, relationship work and other work besides. This is a tall order and requires many different tools and techniques to make it happen. I'll be sharing those that have worked for me and I hope you will share those that have worked for you!

Passion & Fifth Tool Tools for Courageous Leadership
Follow Your Bliss, and Balance will follow you.
Everything just is, and has an equal and opposite or complementary pole. God created a world of wonderful opposites, the bright life-giving sun, and the cold reflective moon. He created vaporous atmosphere, fluid water, and solid earth, all of which interact in thousands of ways to bring life and diversity to our world. God created male and female, different, yet complementary. Everything in nature has an opposite, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Imagine a full moon with one side brightened by the sun’s light and the other side darkened without the sun’s light. We see only one side at a time. Yet, could we actually separate the two from the whole? Will not someone, somewhere in the world be gaining a resource from each side at the same time, regardless of our perspective? If we choose to use this tool in our service, can we not uplift and expand our spiritual nature by always taking a position of courage in our appreciation for the whole? Must we dwell only on one side or another? Can we offer genuine appreciation for humanity and all living creatures, regardless of circumstances, so that others, too, may recognize their value to the whole? Can we use both sides of polarity, hot or cold, darkness or light, fear or trust, in serving humankind, the universe, and ourselves in our truer purpose? In pondering this tool that, when put to use, can embolden one's spirit to great leadership, I am reminded of my flower and rose gardens. In my perennial gardens, I enjoy the sights and scents of roses and bleeding hearts. Each of these flowers display kernels of wisdom in speaking of the beauty of contrasts. The white, red, yellow, and peach roses vary in contrasting colors and unique fragrances. The bleeding hearts show off with budding red, pink and white bleeding hearts. The shapes of the blossoms actually form a three-dimensional heart that shoots out from the center’s top and dangles in the breeze in proud display. Alongside, we have the blue bells, which almost ring a song of splendor with their brilliant desire for attention. Dainty and yet very hardy, these shade-loving plants multiply and spread delicately right tender loving care. At the end of my reverie, I realize the striking significance of polarity, in unfolding each of our passions. Invest in your heart's desires, and you, too, will be a human rose in bloom. Until our next pursuit of success, go out, and make your dreams come true!

Gardening Uplifting Your Spirits with a Rose Garden
Steve's Tip™: A beautiful rose garden requires pruning your roses about six inches from the ground during the Spring. What's in a rose? As Shakespeare write in Romeo and Juliet, "A rose by any other name would still be a rose." Yet, still, the name is lovely and evokes images and sensory cues that symbolize beauty and love. My wife Cheri loves roses, as you know already, through her brand Mirrors of Love. We are fortunate that we have the space (an acre!) to create a variety of lovely gardens, and, we have certainly enjoyed cultivating a rose garden of many colors. There's something about roses that can uplift your spirits, anytime, anyday. In fact, as Ricki states, rose oil is on the top of the list for high frequency vibrational energy release.
It is nice to order roses for romantic or affectionate occasions, yet, it is even nicer to enjoy walks in your outdoor rose garden. Plan your colors and location on paper, and be ready for the . . . .If you are a member, sign in to www.ccqh-leadershipclub.com and go to the Newsletter to read entire Club Newsletter.
