QUICK NOTE

Since we're on the 3rd week of June and I'm just now getting this out, I decided to make it a Summer Issue.

I've been starting to network more and getting out into the community - (which means I've been s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g my comfort zone big time!) I've also been taking some courses and making some changes in my business, which includes starting a new website, www.CenterforInnerWellness.com. I'll be making some changes to the Soul Journey Coaching site as well.

Right now I plan to keep the "TIPs" newsletter, but may integrate it more with my Journey to Perfection weblog. I'll keep you posted. (I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions or feedback on this!)

Another part of the reason this issue is late is because I couldn't settle on an article topic. Talking about the Comfort Zone was my original thought. But as the month progressed, I kept being drawn to the Gulf Coast Oil Spill issue.

Last night I was "instructed" to create a Soul Song about it. That's what I've been working on all day.... And my thoughts and the resulting music is what I share with you below.

~ Namaste, Becky

A big welcome to all new subscribers! Thanks for joining us on the Journey. And to my loyal readers, many, many thanks. YOU are why I do this! :)

OPPORTUNITIES & RESOURCES

Soul Music Reading - Save $100 Now through July 31
If you've been wanting to get your own Soul Song, now is the time! Plus, you can save $100 and take advantage of the 2-pay option as well. If you're not familiar with this service, here's a little bit about it.....

As an intuitive composer/musician, I channel the energies of your Soul, spiritual guides and teachers to create your own unique, one-of-a-kind Soul Song. Your Soul Song can be used for future meditations and automatic writing, as well as a tool for grounding and centering. The channeling process takes three-fours hours or more. The entire consultation includes a 20-30 minute preliminary phone consultation, a 15-20 minute recorded reading where I interpret for you the messages that have been channeled, and of course, your Soul Song as an mp3 file. An optional 20-30 minute follow up phone session is also included. Order yours here or get more info.

Smoking Cessation Hypnosis Program
I finished my certification in Hypnosis and in Smoking Cessation a couple of years ago and am now officially "hanging out my sign" about it! If you're in the Huntsville or North Alabama area and are ready to stop smoking - or know somebody who is - please give me a call or send an email. I'd love to talk with you and help you become smoke-free. (You can also get more info at www.CenterforInnerWellness.com)

It's Up to You

I made the decision to "turn off the television" many years ago. So I don't watch the news or read the newspaper. I keep up with current event info from the web, email services I subscribe to, and through talking with my Husband and other people.

I realized long ago that filling my mind with fear-filled news reports only put me in ..... well, fear! (This is the same reason I no longer watch scary movies... but that's another story!)

What we think about expands. Fearful thoughts bring more fearful thoughts, which bring more things to fear which bring more fearful thoughts...... etc.

Also, complaining and blaming bring more things to complain and blame to mind, which spurs more complaining and blaming which..... Well, you get the idea.

There's been a lot of finger-pointing and blaming and complaining about the recent oil spill. Choices were made that did not have pleasant results.... That were perhaps beneficial (in the moment) to some, and not beneficial to others.

But blaming doesn't solve the issue. Neither does judging or complaining.

I've always been in favor of "going through the back door" as I call it, or "kill them with kindness" some people say.

In other words, in this situation, send love - unconditional love - to the Earth, to the Oceans, to the families involved in the tragedy, and yes, even to the ones who made decisions that led to all this.

Sending the energy of Love will do more good than sending the energy of hate - which is what we're doing when we criticize, judge, blame, complain.

I'd been searching for the right way to respond to my readers on this issue, and last night was inspired with the idea of creating a Soul Song for the Ocean.

This morning, as I sat down to play it, I asked, "What do you have to say? What is your message? What is the Truth?"

From the music, here is what I got....

It's up to you.

Open your heart.

Open your vision.

Speak from your heart.

Come home - back to love.

Have compassion for yourself, for others, for the Earth.

Let go of everything in your life that is not based on Love - on Unconditional Love.

Let your thoughts, words, and actions reflect this Love.

Keep your vision connected to your heart.

We are all connected.

It's up to you.

Here is the link to listen to the music: Ocean Spirits

As you listen to the music, visualize healing energy going from your heart to the Gulf Coast and to all the people directly affected by the oil spill. Visualize healing energy swirling through the ocean, clearing the toxins and helping to restore ecological balance. See healing energy circling the Earth and all it's inhabitants, healing us of the toxins that still lie in our hearts and minds. Send prayers of healing and clarity to those in charge of making decisions that will affect the outcome of this. Ask that the Highest Good for all concerned be done.

Blessings and Peace to you.

GOING DEEPER

I invite you to go deeper by taking some time to reflect on the toxins in your own life. By "toxins" I mean those things, people, or conditions that do not fill you with a sense of peace, joy, or well-being.

Here are a some questions to get you started....

• What/Who are you tolerating?
• What/Who do you tend to avoid?
• What things, people, or situations cause you stress?

Go through each one of your answers to the above questions and ask yourself: "What is the fear behind this?"

Once you have your 'list of fears' notice if there are any patterns or repetitions. Do the fears consist of things outside of you or inside of you?

Choose one fear or situation and brainstorm steps you can take to let go of the fear or turn the situation around.

If you'd like support with this process, or support integrating the steps into your life, please, call or email me and let's set up a free 30 minute consultation.

It's time to step out of fear. Open your heart. Have compassion for yourself. It's time to align your thoughts, words, and actions so that they reflect Love.

It's up to you.

~Namaste, Becky
