Patterns

The first step to change is acknowledgement of “what is”.  That is why journaling is important.  Now, what next?  Many ways forward .  You can acknowledge the pattern, and the learning.  Einstein suggested something along the lines, “You can’t solve a problem with same level of thinking”.  Thinking can be habitual. A common pattern is learning  what […]

Knowing yourself

There are many ways to understand yourself more fully.  Here are just some of the ways sharonmcl has explored, and her view on the value in each.

A Calling

Have you ever experienced a moment when you feel so drawn?  A moment of complete clarity of purpose.  That what you know, the ‘why’ is no longer important, the ‘when’ is becoming a reality, and the ‘how’ unfolds as you take a leap of faith. Sharon believes “a calling” is when you are so drawn […]

Self-sabotage

Do you recognise when you are blocking your own good? Do you know if you are letting someone or thing sabotage you? Sharon believes it is about being aware, conscious of each moment, who you are and the roles you play, in your script for life. As you recognise the warning signs, you will indeed, […]

The empty nest

‘The empty nest’ is a phrase commonly used to describe a family home, where the children have left.  It is common for most mothers to move through the empty nest syndrome, often reinventing themselves when the need for “a mother” is no longer directly required.  Although fathers will experience this too, it will depend if […]

In yoga mudras can take different formats, however the most well used, look like a hand gestures, but they are much more. Hand mudras can be: The connection of the hands to the lines of energy […]

Miscommunication

How many times do find yourself in the mist of “miscommunication “?  For Sharon, she has found it is often within her long term partnership, after the words, “whatever you want, darling.”  This statement is obviously too board, and then miscommunication sets in.  Now, Sharon takes the time to stop, seek clarification, and ask when […]

Mantra

Sharonmcl loves mantras, the sound of Sanskrit when you sing/chant can create a wonderful sense of balance and calm. Naturally it will depend on the mantra. A classic short mantra is OM. Each mantra has a reason and a purpose. If Sanskrit is not for you, then choose positive words that symbolise what you wish […]

Creating a sacred space

How do you create a sacred space for you and/or others? There are many ways, and generally follow a similar process of: 1. Cleanse & Declutter – hold only those things that serve a purpose or are honoured; 2. Set an intention – affirm what you would like in your space; and 3.  Use methods […]

Success

What does success mean to you? Each person will have their own model of what success means to them.  Sharon finds it interesting that one person’s meaning of success can be so different to another’s.  One person’s model may just to be alive and “get out of bed each morning”, however another may believe having family members […]
