Nurture Resilience with Stories for Body, Soul & Spirit

What a wonderful week it's been with the temperatures finally rising above 40 and the snow melting by the tremdendous power of the sun!

This weekend I am attending a conference with Nancy Mellon, the author of "Body Eloquence."  It is called, "Nurturing Resilience" and will feature storytelling to heal the body.

I took storytelling classes in college and loved being able to hold the energy of my listener's attention with the wisdom and truth of each story. 

In the past few years of studying compassionate communication, I've come to realize that we are "telling ourselves stories" all the time.  Some of these stories do not contribute to the truth of what is and then, we suffer.  Gratefully, we have the power to create a new story, one that can contribute to life and truth.  Yehuda Tagar says, "Within us lives the connection to the source of our creation.  We can re-create ourselves from within."  As we recreate ourselves by truly entering the stories of our lives, we will be graced with the connection with the awesome power of creativity and its many sources, both within us and all around us.

I find that archetypal stories speak the truth in delightful ways that allow us to hear what our souls may need. 

Look forward to learning new stories and living new truths.

Would love to hear from you if you've let go of an old story you've been telling yourself and how you've found a new truth.

Blessings upon the stories of your life, the graces of spirit, the joys and sorrows of the soul and the power of your body to hold them all!
