• 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?

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.

• What disempowering thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, fears, feelings are you willing to release this year?
• What worries clutter your mind that you could let go today?
• What one step could you take to de-clutter your environment, your mind, your relationships that would bring you peace?

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 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

Here are a couple questions to think about for the show Power of Attraction - magnetizing what you want with your passions:

· Why do you get out of bed in the morning?
· What is most important to you in the world?
· Who is most important to you?
· What do you really love about life?
· If you died tomorrow what would you most regret not doing?
· What one word describes the essence or quality you want to experience for your life to feel fulfilled?     How can you experience that quality now?

How can we attract all that we want into our life? In our business, in our jobs, in our relationships?

What if you discovered you have the power within you to attract what you want in your life.

Are you ready to step out of the shadows into the Spotlight?

When some one does something we wouldn’t do, have you ever caught yourself saying or wondering “What in the world were they thinking?” Their actions surprise us, because their actions would not flow from our inner worlds and our viewpoint.

Thursday 4th of September at 8:00pm EST, I will have a wonderful guest to share with you on An Empowering Space - Your Hour of Power.

Dr. Roxanne Howe-Murphy’s work  inspires, deepens and animates that which is the best within us by focusing on healthy adult psychological and spiritual development.

What if the thoughts we think and the words we say to ourselves do in fact create our experience, create dis-ease?

How can we use EFT - emotional freedom techniques along with inner dialogues to listen to our bodies?

My guest this Thursday 8:00 pm EST, on an Empowering Space _Your Hour of Power is Maggie Adkins, EFT Master.  Maggie has been a guest on our show before, and since we only had one hour to spend with her, she is back to share her brilliance with us.

If you have a nagging pain in a part of your body, and would like to uncover the source of the irritation or pain, she has an excellent technique that she is willing to share with us during this hour.

It is a call-in program and we would love for it to be interactive, so that she can share this technique with our listeners.  The number to call in is 347 215 8414.

Having done an EFT course myself, the day after Maggie’s last appearance on the Empowering Space, I have  witnessed first hand the benefits of EFT.

• Where are you experiencing pain in your body?
• What messages is your body trying to convey to you?
• Are you ready to get to the source of the condition or pain?
• Are you ready to listen to your body?

Maggie is in the process of writing her book “Inner Dialogues with EFT” which she intends to release in September. This is an opportunity to hear about her unique technique.  If you have interesting results using this technique and would like to be in her book or just are interested in ordering the book send an email to

Two months before the event the committee started meeting and hunting for our missing classmates, asking everyone to get involved in finding a friend…..

I suggested we start a facebook group so that we could include all those who could not be present at the reunion. It would afford us the opportunity to upload images of school days gone bye and photos of all the events. There was some resistance as not too many people knew how to get on to facebook and were a little sceptical about having there information“out there”, but soon the excitement spread like wild fire and all fears and resistance was forgotten.

The excitement and enthusiasm of connecting with friends, some of which have not seen each other in 30 years, was infectious. Photos started uploading, memories and stories began being shared, before the reunion actually started.

Some who had said they were not coming, changed their plans at the last moment and decided to come share in the momentous event.

The meetings were heartfelt, reconnecting with old friends and making new friends, opening up to classmates you had never spoken to before. There was a feeling of sisterhood and friendship. The weekend was packed with activities planned and spontaneous and no one wanted to miss out on anything.

What I learned during this weekend was that some friendships are so strong, no matter how much time has passed, it was like time stopped and the conversations just continued where we left off. It was not a matter of filling in all the stuff that had happened in between, but rather just acknowledging each other for the challenges that we had each overcome during the time gone by. Realising what a resourceful and strong bunch of women we were, and ready to listen and support each other.

I had suggested a game on our first meeting to sort of break the ice, and encourage people to mingle and find out one little secret or bit of information about another classmate. The most amazing part of this was that some people did share a most intimate secret, some shared a life story, some shared missing pieces to a story. It was a beautiful level of sharing that came out of the exercise, and a testimony to how safe and trusting we felt with one another.

I have a beautiful memory of that weekend and hope the connections made during that weekend will continue. When friends come into your life and hold your hand they end up touching your heart.
