RE-MEMBER WITH YOUR DREAMS
We are a week away from 2015. People are making resolutions, goals, plans and reviewing past desires. Just a few minutes ago while walking the streets of Buenos Aires coming back from the bakery with a package of yummy things, I smiled bright inside and out re-membering something far sweeter than the pastries in my bag. I had one of those quick playful nudges and an AH HA moment. "Haaa - I am living it - again." No, not deja vu. I was plunged into the memory and the present moment at the same time. You see when I was 23 years old I had a life dream and I put that dream aside for many years. Now I live it.

In 1980 while traveling Europe with a backpack I made a statement to myself (and the Universe but people didn't use that phrase back then). I stated that in this lifetime I wanted to live in a foreign country and learn a second language. Well as they say, "life happens" and for many years I dis-membered myself from my dream. I had taken it out of my day to day, month to month and year to year thoughts yet my soul never forgot. And then in 2005 at age 48 I made a major shift.
I didn't make the shift through major action. That came later. First I re-connected to the deepest parts of me through meditation and quiet alone time. Soon the signals, connections, emotional and mental breakthroughs spontaneously appeared. I ended up in Argentina on a solo five week vacation and while out west in the canyons I felt a deep core connection to the country. I moved to Buenos Aires (the Paris of the South) in 2006 and lived here full time until 2012. I now visit whenever possible. I speak Spanish and totally love living a European lifestyle. I am so happy that I listened to my inner guidance and opened myself up to the synchronicities.

Can constructing or drawing mandalas help you to re-connect too? Absolutely! Imagine your mind as a peaceful flowing stream free of negative chatter. How wonderful would that be? As a therapist and teacher of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Hypnotherapy I ask my students to imagine a simple garden hose. When the spigot is off and no water is flowing out it is easy to fill the hose up with pebbles and dirt. But when the valve is open and the water is flowing out nothing else can go in. The same is with your mind. Turn on the spigot of creativity and of the FLOW and the entire being, body, mind and spirit experiences wonderful positive energy. In that flowing stream lies messages just for you. You just need to turn it on and get the dirt out of your ears.
I am setting up new international workshops for 2015. Please email me and I will notify you when the next workshop is scheduled. gilmore444 @ gmail.com My therapies/workshop website is BEBEST.COM I will be posting a 2015 schedule soon.
