An Empowering Space

Have you ever asked yourself any of the following questions:

• What makes me tick?
• Why do people not understand me?
• Why do I say some of the things that I do?
• Why do I act in certain ways?
• If it makes sense to me why don’t you get it?
  
• How do I get along with certain people and others I just cannot be around?
• Why do I keep attracting the same type of relationships?
  
• Why are some people so difficult?
• What makes it difficult to get along with me?
• What impact do I have on others?

• How can I deepen the relationships in my life?
  
• How do I experience life?

If these are just a few of the questions and thoughts that pop into your head on a daily basis you are a seeker of self knowledge.  You are interested in revealing the truth and answering the most fundamental spiritual questions “Who am I?” “Why am I here?” “What do I have to contribute?”

The Enneagram is a study of the nine different perspectives and world views.  It explains why we think what we think, see and act the way we do.  It points to specific directions for individual growth. It is an important tool for improving relationships with family, friends, and co-workers. The Enneagram is one of the most transformational and empowering tools for self-discovery. It offers a map that shows your habits of attentions, your motivations, your actions, your inner thoughts, your challenges, your gifts, desires and needs and how we limit ourselves. It helps reveal your inner story, your core beliefs, and the choices you make that create your life.

When we are able to reveal these habitual patterns and triggers we can then choose differently and so recreate and re-design a life we truly want to live.  It takes us out of the box in which we place ourselves, the box that limits us. With the information that is revealed through working with the Enneagram, we can be liberated to make more informed choices in our lives, and live more consciously, rather than living on autopilot or in the passenger’s seat. We can embrace the best of all types within ourselves.

Are you ready to make a difference in your life and those around you?

Help yourself! Get simple insights into yourself and others!

Well this will be the final show for this season. I will begin again in January. I will be busy for the next three months, with new training, facillitating workshops, Xmas and the kids all coming home with friends.

It is so funny how the universe tests you when you make a decision, just to ensure that you are commited and serious about the decision you have made. This month when I decided it would be the last all of a sudden I have a flood of emails from fabulous people wanting to be a guest on Empowering Space.  I am sticking to my decision and so have written to all inviting them to be guests in January.

So naturally I thought the best show to end with would be the Power of Release - learning to let go. I have decided to have two guests to share the space with us.

My first guest is Buz McGuire a friend, husband, father, business owner, writer, entrepreneur, bank director, forward thinker, counselor, life-student and the director of the Viral Happiness Expansion Initiative.

He has studied positive-living and self-development for over twenty-five years. During that time, Buz has owned and operated retail stores, been in the residential and commercial rental business, taught classes, served on various civic, church, and business boards, and counseled people in their business and personal lives.

Over the past three years, he has dedicated himself to developing the thinking and material that has become the Viral Happiness Expansion Initiative.

My second guest has been a guest before and I am thrilled to have her back Amanda Goldstun.  Amanda coaches and helps others to find their own GREATNESS. In 2003 she developed a series of relaxation audios and workbooks called, “Clear Limiting Beliefs, Creative Problem Solver, Create Your Ideal Day and Develop Your Intuition in Business.”

The self-development work Amanda undertook led to the realization that the biggest obstacles to success for many people are old, unhelpful beliefs about money and success. Amanda found that most beliefs can be changed quickly and easily, and coaches people on “how to release Limiting Beliefs in a couple of hours”.

She is based in the UK, but with the wonders of technology, she has clients all over the world, who have benefited from her “Clear Limiting Beliefs” programme.

Amanda’s aim for her clients is to quickly and easily identify and clear major limiting beliefs, so they can find their GREATNESS within and be free to soar to whatever heights they choose.

Join Amanda, Buz and myself, Lydia Mattison at an Empowering Space, for the final show this year, Power of Release - Learning to Let Go. Thursday 16th October 2008 at 8:00pm EST.

Join my special guest Rob and myself, Lydia Mattison your host of an Empowering Space - Your Hour of Power Thursday 9th October 8:00pm EST

How can we remember our spirit in the midst of negative situations?

How can we create authentic power?

It is so difficult in the midst of a heated argument or some challenging situation in your life  to remember that this circumstance is designed for your benefit.  If you can hold the thought that, no matter what circumstance is showing up in your life and how challenging it may be, it is designed for your spiritual growth.

• How could holding that thought allow you to see the situation differently?
• How could the process of inquiry serve you?
  
• What powerful questions might help you connect with your intuition?
• How will you recognize your intuition or inner voice?
  
• What could you learn from the situation?
  
• What could you learn about yourself?
• How could you become the person you want to be?
• How could inquiry and your intuition reconnect you with your essential nature?

So what does it mean to be present?
Being present means simply “showing up”- being here fully, in mind, body and spirit. Having a clear mind, and open heart and fully in your body.

You may think you are here right now, and if you are reading this post your mind will be focused mainly on my words and the content - or is it?

You may be thinking -  I wonder what this show will be like, I hope her guest will be interesting, What else do I have to do during that hour?  Is this going to be worthwhile?  What if I don’t learn anything? What will I get from this? What do they mean by the “body’s wisdom”?

How much of your awareness is focused only on your thoughts, and how much is focused on feelings and sensations?

Are you aware of any sensations in your body as you read this?
Maybe you are now - having been directed towards that.
What about your emotional state, as you read this, are you aware of that?

Has your attention to your emotional state triggered another stream of thoughts?
Where has your attention gone?
What is coming up for you?
What messages are you receiving now?

Are you truly present and listening?

Join us Thursday 8:00pmEST as we talk about the art of presence and mindfulness, and the wisdom our body’s have to offer if we are prepared to listen. www.blogtalkradio.com/empoweringspace
