Happy Thanksgiving!

 

How often our blessings come from the contrast! That's why I always say: "it's all good!"
Love, Dinny

Radical Manifestation Workshop

This has been a year of more learning for me...some pain, some pleasure and lots of growth! I thought I had what I wanted, and of course I did, I just was off base in my identification of it. And as I spent 11 months examining my beliefs and my manifestations I began to recognize the subtle messages I had been giving to myself. At first I was surprised at what showed up in my life and then I realized I had created that reality totally for myself. So stop feeling sorry for yourself, pull it together and move some energy. And now I believe I have what I want again, I am happy with what I have.....and there is no way I have any time to rest on my laurels. Focus, focus, focus is what I have learned and appreciate the power that comes from within. I am excited to do another Radical Manifestation Workshop next week!! I put it on my calendar and had a vision of clarity coming my way by then and I am ready! The perfect people will show up...my marketing has been weak and if that means a few participants that will be the perfect number. We create our own reality and I am loving it!! A description of the Radical Manifestation Workshop is on my website . Check it out and I'm looking forward to it! The photo is from my deck, where the workshop will take place.

No Victims...Abe and Radical Forgiveness Agree

This was the Abraham-Hicks post from yesterday, August 21, 2013 and I love it!!:: No matter what the issue is, don't try to justify why you don't feel good. And don't try to justify why you should feel differently. Don't try to blame whatever it is you think the reason is that's keeping you from feeling good. All of that is wasted effort. Just try to feel better right now. ---Abraham It's All About Your Choice!!

New Newsletter and Schedule

I'm on a happy countdown for moving back into my home in downtown Truckee, on the Truckee River. I tried an experiment, a big one in relationships and it just didn't work out. So much growth and expansion for me in the world of Radical Forgiveness and Radical Manifestation. The consequences of my experiment lead to my leasing my home out for a year and now that year is almost up. So my next step is to ramp up my Radical Well Being Coaching Practice and dive into some workshops, games, ceremonies and go for it! I hope I have learned my lessons well. I am reading a book that I find to be amazing for me and definitely fits in with the tools and principle of Radical Forgiveness. I haven't been able to put it down...thank goodness it has been a holiday this weekend and I have had some down time. The book is called: Solemate: Master the Art of Aloneness & Transform Your Life. The author Lauren Mackler has the reader do lots of exercises, going into past learned lessons, core negative beliefs learned....just like Radical Forgiveness. I have gotten so much out this book....more to come!

My newsletter is coming out tomorrow with a schedule of gatherings for September and October. To sign up for the newsletter you go to my website http://www.forgivecoach.com and sign up on the home page. I can't help but know the last year has brought me amazing new adventures from learned lessons and growth!

Shifting finally feels great!

Getting back into alignment can be such a challenge! I'm not sure I'm totally there yet, but I at least can identify how much I was out! I've been doing a my fair share of Radical Forgiveness Worksheets lately and realizing the power of this work for me....so I am sending out a brief newsletter to those on my Constant Contact list about my upcoming plans for the fall. I want to dabble in all of the wonderful tools created by Colin Tipping that are so helpful to personal alignment. Should you see this post and want to sign up for a newsletter, it's easy, go to my website Forgivecoach Website and sign up! I'm looking forward to a fantastic fall schedule!!

Seth and Radical Forgiveness

I am going back into some old readings of Seth, such as The Nature of Personal Reality as well as some new readings. I read so much Seth in the late 1970s and then kept the knowledge and beliefs but set aside the books. I was a busy mom and working mom in the 1980's and 1990's and then I found Abraham-Hicks when Ask and It Is Given came out in 2004. This has become my study now for 9 years. In 2006 I found Radical Forgiveness and developed a wonderful relationship with Colin Tipping moving forward to completing his coaching program. And now I find myself for many reasons being fully steeped in the integration of all three...they are just perfect together for me! And I emphasize the part about me. Attempting to define what is right and good and of value for someone else I believe is an extremely slippery slope. It takes me out of my own knowing as I try to put myself inside someone else's shoes. Those shoes just don't fit me. And as I am trying them on, I find I am projecting myself onto them and thereby am not able to recognize and see who they are...and what a loss is that! We are each so "each" and what a beautiful thing it is to see and know that. This morning I just picked up The Nature of Personal Reality and to go along with this concept I just "happened" upon this: "You are the living picture of yourself. You project what you think you are outward into flesh. Your feelings, your conscious and unconscious thoughts, all alter and form your physical image. This is fairly easy for you to understand." It is not as easy, however, to realize that your feelings and thoughts form your exterior experience in the same way, or that the events that appear to happen to you are initiated by you within your mental or physic inner environment." Session 610 The Nature of Personal Realty: A Seth Book. So then what is the point of being a "coach" if I don't believe it is appropriate to advise? Appropriate only when asked...then it becomes the sharing of experience, knowledge, study and insight. I go to others when I know I have the answer within, but I need help to draw it out. I have been doing a lot of that lately and it has been drawing out parts of me that I haven't known for a while, and they are parts that I like a lot! As the picture suggests, we can dance and play together and it can be a beautiful experience!

Radical Everything!!!!

At a Yin Yoga class with Walter Lightner, I had a great opportunity to track my thoughts during this quiet practice for 90 minutes. It was so interesting! I find that I am almost conditioned to be thinking about “the other.” And there is no “other” in my life. So I go to past “others”…and I found it so interesting and kind of disconcerting because what I am wanting to focus on right now is self and figure out what this self of mine thinks and feels. I don’t like feeling that I am motivated by someone else before myself. Fascinating! I am quite aware that I have Radical Self Forgiveness work to do so I have pulled my book by Colin Tipping out and getting back into it in relation to where I am now I am sure is going to be quite revealing. I did that work around the time of my life 6 years ago and here I am again, more experiences more work and more personal realization on the way. Last time I got so involved in Self-Forgiveness my realizations were around shadows. I'm not sure where it will go this time. Shadow work is crucial, but in this case, it feels more subtle. Radical everything - Forgiveness, Manifestation, Self Forgiveness, offers so much in moving from EVER feeling like a victim to self empowerment, radical empowerment. I’m appreciating that I will never be “better” but always moving forward in expansion. Thank you Colin for the work……

Dancing Through Betrayal

Last night at Sierra Conscious Dance, Michael Stone, our guest DJ took us on a beautiful journey. Because it is Easter Weekend, I thought the theme was Resurrection. That however is the theme for Easter Sunday in Nevada City at his Sweat Your Prayers. At the beginning of the second wave Michael started talking about the actual theme....Betrayal. Of course, that is what Good Friday was about! So we were all asked to dance through our own betrayals and then into forgiveness as he moved us through the Five Rhythms. How awesome was that! I was able to peel yet another layer off of last year as I looked at how I had betrayed myself. It was lovely! Sierra Conscious Dance, Ecstatic Dance, Sweat Your Prayers....such a beautiful way to shed some much needed to be shed skin! What a gift!

Support from Radical Forgiveness

Wednesday, March 20, 2013 The body is so incredible!! I had been limping around for over three weeks. Two weeks ago I got a cortisone shot, which really helped, but I was still feeling a deep soreness in my knee. That felt completely physical after an injury that I felt fairly certain was an emotional response to some recent decisions I had made, which I was not totally committed to. After having experienced a painful year, 2012 , when I was not listening to myself, the physical part of me intervened to give me some warning signs. I experienced “Body Talk” last week and for an hour and a half became present with my body both physically and emotionally. The results are quite remarkable. The next morning my entire leg felt healthy and present! I still have some numbness in my foot, which I have had for years, but it was far less extreme than before I had the treatment. The treatment involved a lot of "releasing" of some old ideas I was holding on to. I am encouraged to continue with the work that I have been doing for years in terms of Radical Forgiveness and Radical Well Being. My body is such an indicator of what I am feeling and emotionally working through. I know that I give myself signs, for example recently my body was suggesting that I take a better look at how I am moving into the world right now and I felt a warning that I was considering going in a direction that I was not in full alignment with. I was unable to walk forward. I seem to be opening up all sorts of personal channels to look at. Sometimes it seems so crazy to me that at my age, I’m living in a little, seriously little, duplex sorting out the events of last year and the toll it has taken on me personally, emotionally, vibrationally and financially. And somehow I am at peace. I know that if I refuse to allow myself to feel like a victim and identify my feelings around where I am, how I got here and the HUGE lessons I have learned in dealing with my situation, I will not only have the ability to move forward without soreness and pain but even better….with a knowing about the course I want to take in my life as I know it in this human existence. It is clear to me that I see things differently than many. And it is also clear to me that I have to stay in alignment with myself, how I see and how I feel. We are all so incredible, and present in our lifetimes exactly where we need to be. Judging others only adds to our own individual confusion and assessing our own lives is the only way to move forward with any sense of self love and personal compassion. I am taking the time right now to stop judging myself, start listening to myself and to begin making choices for myself like I have never allowed myself to do before. Focusing inward, and feeling my own emotions, knowing that where I am right now is exactly where I need to be, is the first step towards moving forward without limping and without pain.

Cross Country Skiing with Action

Tahoe Donner Cross Country is allowing dogs on the trail this season. I think that is so fantastic. Exercise is so important for my well being, and so is spending time with Action, my grand dog. He lives in Tahoe City now so I don't get to seem him as much as I used to. So this morning we left my house at 8 am. The thermometer on my car said it was -8 degrees! But dogs are only allowed on the trails on the weekends between 8:30 and 9:30 am. The crowds are so big on the weekends, I can understand the need to regulate the dogs a bit. This morning we were going....no matter how cold! As I was driving up Northwoods Blvd my thermometer switched to -6 degrees! Ahhhh, how can it be getting colder, that doesn't make sense. Then I realized (duh...)when you are in the minus temperatures, the lower numeral means it is getting warmer! I'm just not used to that mental exercise, even though Truckee can be the coldest place in the nation, I am not often out and about when it is so cold that early in the morning. So Action and I toured the two trails, Cup of Tea and Piece of Cake a couple of times. His paws were cold, but he barked and pranced and had a great time, and after about 40 minutes he was ready to head for the car. What a great way to start the day! Exercising with one of the very special loves of my life, Action!!

My Lesson for 2012

Seth: "I bid you good evening, and remember this: you have a right to say "no." In the great affirmation of your being, you are conscious. You are therefore able to make a distinction. You can like something better than something else! Within the great affirmation of your being, you can deny. You can say "no" to a situation freely and joyfully and exuberantly — and feel free, and that you are using the abilities of your consciousness, your spirit, and your creaturehood. If you say "no," you say "no" for a reason. Find out what the reason is. You have a right to it." by Jane Roberts (C) L.Butts The Seth Audio Collection Excerpt 20 2012 provided me with the most important lesson - probably my life lesson. I remember my first experience where the lesson was handed to me on a platter was when I was 17 years old. I chose to not step in. I'm sure it came up for me again and again but I had two opportunities, big ones in 2012. The first one was with a real estate client. At this point in my life, I didn't even know that NO was an option, I had become such a YES girl. The yes I kept saying to this client brought me to a very uncomfortable edge, almost an edge of no return. I finally said NO but I didn't understand the lesson in it, better said I didn't understand that it was my lesson. Once I came aware of this feeling, this reason that might be possible, to have no be an option as Seth says above, I kept seeing the opportunity in the situation where before I would have just kept saying yes and continued to move forward and just "deal." Then of course, came the big one for me. That's another post. But a NO that had to be said and a reason that had to be identified. By far the hardest lesson to step into, and again as Seth references the chance for freedom, joy and exuberance in the decision. This is not saying that it was easy, but an opportunity to step into who I really am, for myself, and live in this space rather than in the space of others. And as always, in the words of Radical Forgiveness, look what I created. Sheez, I hate that part, but it is the truth and now that I see it, there is such freedom!
