Full Moon ~ Deeper Freedom and Clear Boundaries

The Moon will be reaching it’s peak of Fullness as we’re in the midst of ECSTATIC BREATHWORK this Sunday.  It’s a powerful time to wipe the slate clean from anything and everything that’s been sitting on your shoulders over the last month or longer.  And it’s a great time to have a fresh look at boundaries.  What are they?  Are they necessary?  Can they give you more SPACE to focus on your purpose?  Can they give you more room to Breathe Freely and Expand into all that you Are?

Time:             4:30pm - 6pm (come early to avoid being late)

These ECSTATIC BREATHWORKSHOPS are nothing less than a journey deeper into the experience and expression of who and what you are, a journey into the Heart of Freedom within.  Through a simple and powerful breathing meditation, you gain and deepen the tools for seeing past your former limitations, gain muscle for being your own best ally, teacher, and healer, and deeply taste a place free of insecurity, full of self-love.

LOVE,
SCOTT

The Practice, An Anchor in Uncertainty ~ Wed, Feb 3, 7:30-9pm

AN ANCHOR in UNCERTAINTY

Have you ever felt uncertain?  Is there anything you’re uncertain about now?  So many of us are finding ourselves faced with the “unknown” right now...around work, relationships, finance, where to live, doing work that we feel aligned with and being abundantly compensated for it, and more.  There are anchors during times of uncertainty.  Come ready to discover yours, or deepen your relationship with an existing anchor.  When it’s time to shed an old layer of skin, like a snake does, if you don’t know what’s on the inside, what you can trust, it can feel like a part of you is dying...like there may be something to fear and pull back from, when moving forward is best.  Come anchor into the breath...let it guide you towards deeper roots into clarity, trust, faith, and knowing.  It’s time, and you’re ready...even if you don’t know what you’re ready for!


Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010  7:30-9:00pm

We’re calling this event THE PRACTICE, and it’s for ALL levels of experience with the Breath.  It happens for now in the sanctity of my healing space in West Hollywood.  Reserve your space as soon as you know you’ll be coming, as it fills up quickly...

We’ll set some intention very quickly in the beginning, and then get right down to the business of the Breathwork; an ancient 3-part breathing meditation that takes you beyond the dream of the limited ego experience....into the space of GRACE, the space of KNOWING, the space of deep REJUVENATION.

This is designed to be a place to work deeply with the breath and build /strengthen the muscles for your home practice.

ARRIVE on-time or better yet, early.  No one will be admitted after the breathwork begins to honor and support the safe space created for The Work.

When:   Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
Time:       7:30-9:00pm

Exchange:   $40  (no one turned away)

Where:  1226 Havenhurst Dr. #9
                (Havenhurst is 1 block West of Crescent Heights between Santa Monica Blvd and Fountain Ave)

Parking:    It’s best to park at a meter on Santa Monica Blvd or in the West Hollywood City Lot just South of Santa Monica Blvd behind Out Of The Closet between Havenhurst and La Jolla.  The City Lot is $1 per hour in quarters.  Other meters in the area are free after 6pm.

RSVP:      Due to size of the space, please RSVP to hold your place.  If need be, we’ll start a waiting list. 24hrs cancellation by phone. (310) 922-4890

BRING:      A folded blanket and/or yoga mat to lay on for the breathing meditation, water, and a smile!

LOVE,

30 Days + of Gratitude ~ Day 12

1. I'm grateful for this list to keep bringing me back to gratitude every day.  Everyone (just about...) has circumstances.  And a number of us have emotions around circumstances.  Even me.  This list is one of many practices I'm deeply engaged with that are helping me stay clear, and become clearer than ever.  The process of cleaning out the illusions doesn't always feel so tidy or beautiful, but seems like it always looks amazing in retrospect.  So here's virtual glass raised to all who choose to walk through the illusions, no matter what it takes, and become clearer.
2. I'm grateful for all the people out there I know about, and the ones I do not, who're choosing to clear the clutter, see through the noise, and choose Truth.  Your work, even if you feel alone, impacts me and everyone else who's making this choice....keep walking!
3. I'm grateful for the rich conversation with my Dad this morning on the phone.  While there are areas where we don't see eye-to-eye, there's one we do, and that's Love.  I love him, he loves me, and neither one of us needs to use cards and presents to prove it anymore.  Now cards and presents are gravy.  Thank you Dad....I love you!
4. I'm grateful for all the hard work my Mom did to raise herself and me all these years...most of it, I may never know about.  Mom...you're a hero to me, and I love you!
5. I'm grateful for all the ways Spirit finds to creatively get my attention onto what matters.  Tonight it was finding all the old receipt books for healing products (oils, sage, etc) clients have bought from me over the last couple of years.  In sitting at the shredder with them, I was able to feel gratitude for each and every one of you and all the lessons, love, and growth we walked through together.  Thank you!  

Love, Clarity, and Support through the Holidays

Also, a little extra information to support you on your way through the next 30 days:

Along with the strong energy that moves in so many people during the holidays, Mercury goes into retrograde on Dec 25th until Jan 15th.  In the middle of this there will be a Full-Moon (second one this month, known as a “blue Moon”) and the same day there will be a partial Lunar Eclipse.

What does that mean?

It’s a perfect time to slow down....to slow down and minimize distractions while driving, to slow down in conversations and perhaps listen more carefully, to engage in things that nurture and uplift both you and the environments you’re spending time in, to write and play with some form of creativity, read books that remind you of the Truth of who and what you truly are, meditate, engage with the breathwork, do some selfless service, do a deep cleaning and clutter-clearing on all the spaces you spend time in..

If you engage with things along these lines, it’ll keep your energy moving.  When your energy is moving and being expressed in positive and creative ways, it’s less likely to get stuck inside and trigger the downward spiral.

If you need some more support?

I’ll be staying here in Los Angeles up until Dec 29th when I head to New Mexico to retreat with David Elliott.  I’m happy to schedule in-person and phone sessions to support your intentions.

Keep choosing to LOVE yourself, when you love yourself, you’re likely to take good care of yourself and express that same Love and care for all those around you (without having to carry anyone else’s “stuff”)...you’ll be able to let people have their process, and in-turn have more space for your own.

Have a great, nurturing, safe Holiday celebration in whatever ways most lift you up!

LOVE,
Scott
