THE BUCK STOPS HERE¹

                                                           THE BUCK STOPS HERE¹

                                                               YOU ARE THE ONE

Are you looking for a teacher, a guru, a savior? Do you desire to experience a soul mate, happiness in a relationship, a more exciting, fulfilling sexual relationship? Have you ever considered “The Buck Stops Here”, that You are The One? I invite you to consider that ultimately you are your own teacher, guru, savior, master and soul mate. The search for your soul mate, a fulfilling relationship sexual, emotional, spiritual all begins and ends – within yourself.

Have you considered that no matter how many workshops you attend, certificates you earn, competencies you acquire, their power to transform you, to raise your awareness to deepen your experience of life, all resides ultimately within you. Transformation, awareness and competence are not a virus that you acquire through exposure. They are states that arise and grow within you. They depend upon intention, focus and congruency of intent and action to manifest them, to become encoded within yourself and then applied in the world, in your relationships, in your life.

Teachers are the messengers, competencies earned are the tools which you then must apply to achieve change within yourself.

Recently, after a coaching session with one of my students in the 3 Keys to Personal Freedom Course, I was gifted to observe the student begin that journey of becoming her own teacher, of growing in her own awareness, of taking action to become even more competent, of moving from reaction to response. One of her teenage children returned from a task that she had volunteered to complete sharing with her mom that the desired material necessary for the task was not where the parent directed her. The mom took one step, to accompany the child, to show her yes in fact, the material was there and then stopped. She began to laugh, turned to me and said, “Did you observe the old pattern I began to follow? The pattern of being the rescuer, the pattern of being helpful, of being the “good mom” Instead, integrating the lesson she had been exploring of No Rescue, she changed her language, changed her actions and asked her daughter a question- “Where did you look” What else could you do?:

By asking questions, by becoming responsive instead of reactive, she demonstrated her own growing awareness of her unconscious patterns of language and action. Her actions indicated an integration of the information- she in fact changed her personal experience of her life and her children’s experience of her and their own capacity to be responsible and problem solve with one act- one moment of integrating the message, moving from reacting to the situation to using her growing awareness to respond to the familiar situation differently. Now the familiar becomes new. An action, taken with awareness created new possibilities; new opportunities and she became even more of what she desired.

As the “teacher” I was delighted, to witness my student, begin that journey: To become her own teacher, her own witness- To Become the One. Truly a moment of appreciation and gratitude for my student’s courage and passion to begin that journey to become the creator- of her new life
