Wisdom Circle - Go For It!


Consciously taking a step that departs from the 'norm' can feel like a leap of great magnitude.
It can feel like a total departure from your usual way of being in the world.
Often, it creates anticipation that may include fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of suffering, fear of loss and grief.
For a moment, that fear can be consuming.
It can well up inside oneself and get really large.
And then the moment comes when you ask yourself, 'do I really want to continue to live in this fear, or do I really want to shift into BLISS?'
As you change your 'mind', you change your reaction, and you change the reaction that bounces back to you.
You shift from deeper and deeper fear, into 'wow, this is awesome and it feels great'.

The function of a Wisdom Circle is to help each member release and surrender the 'I'm so scared' and help them move freely into the 'wow, this is wonderful'.
Each time the 'wow' is experienced, it becomes easier to get there the next time.
Each time fear is released, it becomes easier to get there the next time as well.
Soon, the cliff doesn't seem so steep and high.
Soon, the drop off doesn't even feel like a threat.
Soon, other options for a happy landing seem extremely likely and probable.
Soon, Bliss seems like a daily occurrence.
Soon, the entire group is sharing experiences of successes and joys.
Soon, the Wisdom Circle is a place to bring your ideas and your heart's desires so the group can energize them and 'hold space' for their fulfillment.
Soon, visioning a better existence is commonplace and fear has no place.
Soon, the precipice evokes the energy of opportunity and mystery and life's potentialities.
Soon, everyone is leaping...
What a world that will be...
WOW...
