</a></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Ever since 9/11 we’ve collectively experienced fear as an undercurrent in our lives.</strong> In the last few years, with the economic challenges worldwide the volume of the collective fear has been turned up even higher. Since we are all connected through sharing the element of Air, we all feel it. How we handle it and what we do with it is a different matter. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Many people don’t recognize this fear because it has been such a pervasive and chronic condition of their lives.</strong> When fear is instilled in childhood through parenting practices, an overly strict school environment, or religious training, it often forms an emotional core that goes unexamined and unreleased throughout adulthood. Over the years, more fear is simply layered on top with no realization of the accumulation. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-9480"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In the spiritual community, the motto is often “don’t think about or feel fear” and it won’t impact you. If fear is an undercurrent that has been pervasive in your experience, its influence runs so deep in your feeling core that it’s not as easy as “don’t think it or feel it”. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Fear is hardwired into the body as means of protection:</strong> it is an automatic response when the body is threatened. In order to make other choices, you have to recognize what fear feels like when it springs up inside to defend you from a perceived threat. Then you are able to direct your energy in another direction. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>In order to release chronic fear, you need to do some conscious clearing work around it.</strong> However, I’ve seen people get stuck in the cycle of clearing, never feeling quite clean enough (another form of fear). They don’t progress to the stage of actively and intentionally directing the forces of creation. This is like the person who continues to feel dirty after they’ve had a shower. They spend all their time continuing to try and feel clean, when they need to be focused on going out and creating in the world. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There are multiple ways fear can impact you in each of the elemental realms, and here are just some of them.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>On the Earth physical level you are likely to experience a wave of fear when you encounter a mama bear and her cubs in the wild</strong>, a flood that covers the roof of the house at the end of your cul de sac, someone breaking into your home, or being physically attacked in some way. You might also be impacted by very day to day physical concerns such as wearing the right outfit to an important event, or more dire ones of not having enough food or a place to sleep. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Collectively we experience fear at the physical level with environmental threats such as the gulf oil spill, an earthquake such as the one that hit Hati, or a tsunami that wipes out an area as in Japan. Physical fear also comes from being near attacks such as 9/11 or bombing or warfare or someone with a rifle opening fire on a group. These bring immediate physical fear that can take us to safety but also keep us awake at night long after the experience.  </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Fear occurs on the Water emotional realm when you are awash in so much self-doubt it prevents you from taking action.</strong> Feelings of fear may be impacting you if you are having trouble making decisions, you are steeped in worry, you can’t focus on generating and creating solutions to the problems you face. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In the emotional realm you can also have fear of shame, guilt, or humiliation blocking you from trying something new or going for your dreams. It’s easy to be drowning in fear without even knowing it. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>On the Air mental level, fear is often blasted over the airwaves through both words and pictures.</strong> It might come from the radio, the television, a political leader, an economist, a teacher, or the pulpit. Hearing treats of economic collapse can move you immediately into a financial survival mode, taking you right out of an income generating creative mindset. You might be afraid that what you say or believe can get you ostracized or even possibly killed.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When you hear words that are intended to invoke fear, you need to know how to handle them. Do you absorb them and allow them to impact your emotions, or can you recognize the blast and make a conscious choice about how you want to deal with them? </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Fire is provoked when you experience fears of life becoming out of control</strong>. Being in an accident, being overpowered in some way (such as being beaten, enslaved, tortured, abused, raped, or the eternal damnation of burning in hell for all eternity) are fears which can inflame the Fire element. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Depending on your cultural background, you might have cellular fear of being burned at the stake, driven from your land, and more. Any of these can bring low-grade unnamed fear. I once had a client whose mother escaped capture during the war: for years, the daughter experienced a fear she could never put her finger on until we cleared the fear passed down from her mother during a creation coaching session.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Spiritually, you might have low-grade fear of intolerance or persecution for your beliefs and the way you connect or don’t connect to the Divine.</strong> In the words of singer/songwriter Holly Near, you might not be afraid of someone else’s God but for “what people do in the name of their God”. For many years those who honored nature, upheld science, or believed in the Divine Feminine were considered heretics and the punishment was often death. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>The best action you can take to deal with the way fear may be impacting your life is to simply begin noticing it.</strong> Pay attention to your responses to situations. Are there ways fear is or has been used to control you?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Also notice if you are using the two most common fears – lack of time and money – to prevent yourself from going for your dreams. </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In my upcoming program “29 Days to Ignite Deep Grace: Transforming Fear through the Power of Love” we will be exploring ways you can refocus your energy on creation when you find yourself in a wave of fear. You’ll be activating the inner quality of deep grace as a navigational tool to guide your life in times of stress or turmoil, and to assist you in bringing your desires into being. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This program begins with a new moon bonus on April 20 and continues for 29 days (a new moon to new moon cycle). Don’t worry if you can’t begin exactly on time with us, work with the program every day, or complete it within 29 days. The program will all be in a location online for you to utilize it as you need it. However long you take is fine. You might also find there are some of the presentations you want to repeat and work through later. It will be available to you for an additional 6 months or more. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">First thing each morning (Eastern Standard Time) I’ll deliver a 5 to 29 minute pre-recorded teaching to assist you in developing skills to release old fears and to learn how to actively and gracefully direct the forces of creation. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You are welcome to submit questions by email throughout the program and I will answer them in the recordings. Depending on how many there are, I may create additional question and answer recordings. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #333300;">Whether you need additional grace for your life, your profession, or to help your business thrive, these 29 days of focus will help you align with the essence of creation. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: #808000;">Also, remember the first 100 people who register will receive a bonus of a Natural Rhythms book and an Elemental Forces of Creation Oracle. Both of these tools can help you access even more guidance from Nature. There are a few more available so if you want this bonus, go ahead and register today.</span></strong></span></p>

Step 3 of 3: Uncover Your Core Inner Creation Team Players and Dynamically Boost Your Ability to Align with Success!</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 18pt; text-align: left;">Do you have a winning inner creation team?<br />
Do they play well together, giving you the feeling of scoring success often?</p>
<p>Or perhaps, you feel like they are in one big food fight in the creation cafeteria of life and not supporting each other at all?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Either way, playing well or completely uncooperative, you can assist your inner creation team in achieving greater levels of grace-filled success. Winning teams are known for continuing to take their game to the next level and those frustrated with their results are looking for a new way to coach their team to victory.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-9222"></span>Your team players all have a particular function and a certain elemental archetype. Understanding the way each team member functions and the elemental archetype they express helps you know how to utilize that player most effectively. As each member feels acknowledged for the skills and talents they contribute to the creation of your life the more effectively they co-create success with the other players.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When players don&#8217;t feel noticed or respected they often act out in sabotaging ways in your life or their talents for creation could simply be tremendously under utilized. Becoming skilled at inner team work can help you build a thriving business, live more fully from your life purpose, create more personal prosperity, and re-energize your passion for life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what kinds of functions do your inner team members bring to the creation of your life?</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>One of the players reveals what you’ve come here to be/learn/do/express.</li>
<li>The way two of your key players interact and work together determines how effectively you create anything, from life to financial success.</li>
<li> The elemental energy of another player influences the way you see the world and how you respond to situations.</li>
<li>Another player determines your quickest route to your life purpose.</li>
<li>One player reveals what you need most elementally for your right livelihood.</li>
<li>And another informs you of the type of elemental fuel you burn and why you need it to thrive.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It might sound like there is a lot to learn but at the very basic level it&#8217;s pretty simple and extremely helpful to the success of your creations. Honestly, and I&#8217;ve said this in one of my previous posts, learning this way of working with my inner creation team has made a huge difference in my relationships, understanding my purpose, aligning with the unique way I work with prosperity, and my ability to thrive. And I know from experience of working with hundreds of people it has made a powerful impact on their life as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let me give you a simple way to start working with one of your team members. Instead of thinking of where the sun was when you were born as describing who you are, which many people get frustrated with because they know they are so much more than that, view it as the kind of fuel you need to help you thrive in life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is a good example, I have a friend who&#8217;s inner creation team members are mostly Air, with some Fire. He&#8217;s highly artistic and creative and always needing to express it in some way, yet the fuel he burns is Taurus. What this means is that in order to refuel, periodically he needs to express his creativity by creating more beauty in the earthly realm. He needs to remodel a room, build a flower bed, do yard work, construct a shed, anything physical. If his team players were only Air and Fire he would have no need to express his creativity in such a grounded physical way. He would be content with expressing his art in pictures and words.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So take a moment to connect with the elemental archetype the sun was in when you were born and think of it as your fuel. Mine is the fiery sign of Leo, which means periodically I need an infusion of self-love, leadership, and/or visibility. This has expressed in my life through dancing, public speaking, and teaching. I love expressing and sharing. What does your elemental archetype reveal that you need, in order to refuel?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On March 10, I am teaching &#8220;Life Purpose and Personal Prosperity Secrets&#8221; its all about discovering all the players on your inner creation team. The program is EASY to work with the replay if you can&#8217;t join on the 10th and you get a one-on-one breakthrough creation coaching session with me. This is a rare opportunity to learn about your life purpose and personal prosperity creation team outside of a longer program. I would love to reveal the magic of this system to you and tell you all about where I learned it in case you want to know even more. Please plan to join me March 10 or work with the replay and then have your breakthrough creation coaching session with me.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is a coupon for $30 off the program that is good through Feb 29 (leap year &#8211;fun) at midnight Eastern time. The information page gives you all the details and you can find out more and register by <strong><a href="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/life-purpose-personal-prosperity-secrets/" target="_blank">CLICKING HERE</a>. </strong></p>

Step 2: Open to the Ways the Elements Sub-divide into Unique Expressions</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/inner-wisdom/step-1-of-3-creating-a-purpose-prosperity-passion-breakthrough/" target="_blank">If you missed Step 1 click here to read it first.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Once you understand the basics of how the elements express then it is time to connect to the way they sub-divide into specializations. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Earth</span>&#8216;s grounded physical realm expression moves into specialization through the archetypes of Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Now if you are thinking &#8220;newspaper astrology&#8221; here you are missing the boat. What I am terming &#8220;Newspaper astrology&#8221; is all about which archetype the sun was in when you were born and tells you very little about yourself. The system I am talking about uncovers your elemental make-up helping you to know how to apply it to key life areas to create more success. There is a tremendous amount you can understand by learning the basics of how the archetypes work within (we will go deeper into that in step 3).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-9184"></span>Staying open to how these specializations work in your elemental make-up will make a big difference in understanding your life purpose, your unique personal prosperity motivations, your capacity to effectively create, how you might build and grow a business, and what connects you to your passion in life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Each of the <span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Earth</span></strong></span> archetypes have a unique focus: Taurus teaches the importance of enjoying beauty and pleasure of the earthly realm of matter. Virgo reveals the significance of dedicated work and the cycles of nature. Capricorn, the wise administrator, brings the value of structure and form. Their areas specialization go much deeper than this and knowing how they function will not only teach you much about yourself, it will help you understand others more effectively, and know how to further apply the energies to your creations. The Earth archetypes need to pay attention to details and step-by-step building of their prosperity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #008080; font-size: medium;"><strong>Water&#8217;s</strong></span> archetypes are all about learning to flow and grow in the realm of feelings and emotions. Cancer brings the ability to nurture and create emotional safe space. Scorpio&#8217;s training is to learn to fully explore the power of feelings and master your response to them. Pisces teaches the importance of a compassionate heart. The Water archetypes need to be sure their emotional realm is clear and expansively flowing in order to access all their prosperity. Fear or contraction around money weakens their ability to create the currency they require in order to thrive.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Air</span></strong></span> archetypes brings perspective, vibration, and vision from the invisible mental realm. Gemini loves the mind, creativity, communication, and ideas. Libra teaches the importance of balanced relationships and honoring each person&#8217;s point of view. Aquarius takes a big picture cosmic perspective on life and thinks innovatively. The Air archetypes need to keep their prosperity vibration uplifted and focused on what they choose to create.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Fire</span></strong></span> archetypes focus on taking action, leadership, and visibility.  Aries teaches the meaning of individuation and decisive action. Leo lights up leadership with its radiance and self-love. Sagittarius brings the significance of expansion and exploration. The Fire archetypes have to be mindful not to burn through their funds and to take consistent and rhythmic action toward their prosperity creations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In step 3 we will uncover the various ways these energies can be functioning within you. There are many possible combinations that you could experience and you want to discover their placement so that you can strengthen their ability to work together to create more prosperity and meaning from your passionate purpose.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is a complimentary handout on the all twelve of archetypes. Enjoy! Lisa</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #000080;"><strong><a href="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hands_iStock_000012148264XSmall.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-9166 alignleft" style="margin: 14px;" title="Multiracial Hands Making a Circle" src="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hands_iStock_000012148264XSmall.jpg" alt="" width="347" height="346" /></a><br />
Breaking through to a new level of </strong><strong>experience requires learning something </strong><strong>new.</strong> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">When I decided to start teaching online I had a tremendous number of new skills to acquire in order to expand into a whole new realm. Now presenting classes online </span><span style="font-size: small;">is second nature to me and I love sharing programs with people all over the world. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">One of the unique skill sets of my elemental make-up is I am able to teach anything I’ve studied in an easy to digest step-by-step way.  </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000080;"><strong><span id="more-9185"></span>Discovering my elemental make-up has </strong><strong>been one of the most important things </strong><strong>I’ve learned in the last fifteen years.</strong></span> It deeply impacted my ability to direct my skills in more purpose-filled ways. It helped me to understand my unique personal prosperity motivations. It increased my communication and relationship skills. It also assisted me ingrowing my business and absolutely helped me access more passion in life. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Before I learned about my full elemental profile there were ways I functioned but I had no idea why, nor did I realize how important certain things were to my over all well-being and prosperity. I primarily have a Fire and Earth inner make-up. But the specific kind of Fire informed me that I needed to be in a learning, teaching, and </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">visible leadership position. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The type of Earth I work with let me know that I need to solidly put structure and form around my sacred work in the world. This kind of Earth also connects to the patterns and cycles of the natural world. Combined these Earth and Fire energies direct me toward the work I currently do of creating products, workshops, and learning systems for others to discover more about nature and her rhythmic cycles. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Working in alignment with my core </strong><strong>elemental make-up helps me bring through my unique </strong><strong>essence expression enhancing the life, success, </strong><strong>and prosperity of those I work with, as well as </strong><strong>my own.</strong></span> Understanding my personal connection to these energies also let me know that the choices I need to take around my abundance must be solid Earth based steps that are Fire balanced and rhythmically timed for my prosperity to flourish. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Your life choices need to be in alignment </strong><strong>with your core elemental energies in order </strong><strong>for you to effectively thrive.</strong></span> I have one friend whose elemental life purpose is the type of Water that wants her to be in service to others. The only reason she feels the need for greater abundance is if it will increase her ability to be in service to others in some way. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Another one of my friends has a tremendous amount of a large building Earth energy and she is devoted to having a strong economic business structure and a hefty investment portfolio. Your elemental make-up forms a key component in the choices you make and outlook you have that influence your prosperity, purpose, and passion. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #000080;"><strong>Step One of Creating a Purpose, Passion, </strong></span><strong><span style="font-size: medium; color: #000080;">and Prosperity Breakthrough </span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">You need to understand that the elements flow through each person’s character in a unique fashion. <span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Your personal elemental </strong><strong>combination forms your essence and impacts </strong><strong>your ability to successfully create in every area </strong><strong>of your life. </strong></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The elemental energies that make-up your inner essence work together like a team. Effective teams have all the members on board when creating their dreams. <span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Each </strong></span></span><span style="font-size: small; color: #000080;"><strong>of the elemental energies (your team </strong><strong>members) need to be getting their needs </strong><strong>met or you will feel like you are in an </strong><strong>internal tug-of-war. </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">For example, if you have a “watery-fiery” nature and they weren’t playing well together, you might feel like your Water (your emotions) are putting out your inner Fire (your passion). However, when they are working effectively together you can feel emotionally supportedas you create a more prosperous life from your passion and purpose.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you have a more “earthly” character you will find going step-by-step to bring your desires into being is important. While someone who has an “airy” temperament may have lots of creative ideas floating around but not much coming into form. If Air and Earth work together, then taking the steps needed to get those creative ideas into form becomes considerably easier. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #008000;"><strong>Earth</strong></span> works with the physical realm, structure and form, and going step-by-step.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #008080;"><strong>Water</strong></span> expresses through the emotional realm, teaching you through relationships, and helping you magnetize your desires.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: medium;"><strong>Air</strong></span> forms the mental realm, providing communication,vision, focus, intention, and vibration.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;"><strong>Fire</strong></span> fuels your growth through action and energy. It creates visibility and growth.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #800080;"><strong>Spirit</strong></span> is the unique essence combination of elemental energies from which you create. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Finding out your elemental make-up is simple </strong><strong>but does require a little discovery time.</strong></span> Your purpose, prosperity, and passion breakthrough rewards will make the small amount of learning worth it!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/blueprintiStock_000002421328XSmall2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-8420" title="blueprintiStock_000002421328XSmall2" src="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/blueprintiStock_000002421328XSmall2-300x208.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="208" /></a>If you were constructing a building would you go to the construction site and say to the crew “ok now just put the foundation anywhere and use any materials you want?”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Would you proceed by allowing the framers, electricians, and plumbers do what ever they wanted?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With no plan in mind at the outset there would likely be no coherent usability for the building, even if the entire crew were skilled at their individual jobs. Without a blueprint for the project there is no direction for the construction crew, there is nothing that lets them know how and where to apply their energy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-8408"></span>That same principle holds true no matter what you are creating in your life, be it your career, a new home, or your business. <strong>It is the plan, blueprint, or design of</strong><strong> anything you are building that actually directs the</strong><strong> forces of creation.</strong> Your creation begins moving into form when you take your unformed, invisible ideas and create the blueprint or framework of what you are manifesting.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even with a plan you can still be flexible for changes that may come up along the way when you discover something new or simply feels it needs adjustment for where you are at the time. You may shift or change your plan at anytime. A plan doesn’t create rigidness, it creates structure. It gives shape to your creation. <strong>When you know how to work with</strong><strong> the critical dynamic interchange between the formless mental</strong> <strong>realm of Air, and the formed physical realm of Earth, you are</strong> <strong>better able to effectively create anything.</strong> The mental realm of Air actually directs the forces of creation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Now,</strong> <strong>there is a subtle difference between forcing and directing</strong> <strong>a creation.</strong> Forcing means you overly impose your will on the creation and directing means you help effectively shape it. An example of this would be forcing the land to suit your building, instead of shaping the building to suit the land.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you effectively direct your creations, you pay attention to the landscape that is already present (who you are, what your skilled at, what’s next in the expansion of your life or business). From there, <strong>you shape your formless ideas, desires, and dreams</strong><strong> into form in a way that aligns with who you are and what is</strong><strong> important to you and your business from a soul level.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As you come to the close of the growing cycle of one year and prepare to enter the next, have you given yourself the time and support you need to design the next phase of your life and/or business? In the fast-paced world we live in it’s easy to overlook this critical planning phase in the cycle of creation, but without it —your inner construction crew has no idea what to build.</p>

<div id="attachment_4404" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/P1010072_2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4404" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/P1010072_2-300x266.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="266" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Spirit - Apply Your Power of Choice</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When it comes to creating anything, including abundance, Spirit provides the inner guidance and direction to bring your goals, dreams, and desires into reality. Spirit helps you connect to the creative spark of your unique essence urging you to the next level of personal development.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In order to creatively grow, Spirit gives you the gift of choice. With this gift, you have the power to choose your perceptions, how you interact with your feelings, others, your finances, and what actions you are going to take. Then, at any time, you have the power to choose something different.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This sounds like such a simple power, yet it is profound. Choice directs the powers of creation. Each time you choose something &#8212; what you will eat, wear, think, do, not do, express, feel, spend, save, or where you will live, work, and play &#8212; you design and define yourself and your life. This power of choice gives you the ability to create your life and then change when appropriate.<br />
<span id="more-4403"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even in circumstances when your choices seem very limited, you still have the ability to choose your response to the situation. When you listen, Spirit will help guide you toward your most effective choices.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can connect with Spirit (just as with the other Elements) by sitting quietly and asking for connection and guidance.  Spirit is waiting for you to just “show up”.  Once you make that choice, Spirit and the elements work with you to create and manifest your desires.</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Air &#8211; Get a Clear Vision and Stay Focused</li>
<li>Earth &#8211; Ground Your Plan with Gratitude</li>
<li>Water &#8211; Flow Clear, Clean, &amp; Current Financial Feelings</li>
<li>Fire &#8211; Take Transformative Action</li>
<li>Spirit &#8211; Apply Your Power of Choice</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Working with Spirit and the Elements creates magic in any area of your life. Connect today and start creating conscious abundance!</p>

</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Anytime you want to be more, have more, or do more, in order to expand up and out in your personal or professional life, you have to develop a deeper stronger and more stable root system. Just like a tree, you are an organic living system comprised of the elemental forces of creation (Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Each of the elements impact your organic living system and your ability to expand and bring into form any of your dreams and desires. The more consciously you know how to draw on, access, and work with the elements the more effectively you can strengthen your &#8220;inner root system&#8221; in order to expand and create.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Strengthening your &#8220;inner root system&#8221; requires something different with each element. With&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Earth you need to deepen your ability to create structure and form for your expansion and creations. They can only be as solid as your capacity to effectively hold and manage them in the physical earthly realm.<br />
<span id="more-2717"></span>Water requires you to enhance your skill at magnetizing your desires by increasing your emotional maturity and learning to run clear, clean, emotional current.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Air calls for you to learn new mental and technological skills and create a more expansive and compelling vision to help you focus your intentions and actions for better results.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fire asks you to align your actions, life force energy, and passion to fuel your dreams and desires that are for the highest good of everyone concerned and the planet.</p>
<p>Spirit urges you to express your essence more fully and to explore the creative outlets you feel called to bring into form in your personal and professional life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Learning more about the elements and the ways they ignite your inner gifts and activate your personal power helps you strengthen your inner root system to expand into all you can be.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At Natural Rhythms our mission is to help you do just that. Assisting you to develop and stabilize your inner capacities what we work toward daily. We have two new classes beginning June 16 &amp; 17 that can help you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For those of you who want to expand your business our <a href="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/events/natural-business-success-teleseminar-course/" target="_blank">Natural Business Success</a> 4 module teleseminar course begins June 16. And if you want to develop the foundational powers of the elements our <a href="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/events/natural-rhythms-100-home-study-course/" target="_blank">NR100 Home Study course begins June 17</a>. If you have time for both they very powerfully work hand in hand to reinforce and develop your capacity to work in alignment with the forces of creation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are also two more free events this week <a href="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/events/free-webinar-expand-your-essential-creative-potential/" target="_blank">Expand Your Essential Creative Potential</a> Webinar Sunday June 6 and on June 9 a free teleseminar on <a href="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/events/natural-business-success/" target="_blank">Natural Business Success</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Many blessings and much natural success, LIsa</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>W</em>hen someone is out in the forest with no compass or map, every direction looks almost the same.  Which way do I walk?  Where do I call for guidance? Is it safer to rest or keep walking?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While many of us have clarity about certain areas of our life, it is not uncommon to have specific situations arise where we feel a little lost or stuck.  And there can be times when we feel no clear sense of direction at all.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Natural Rhythms coaching sessions provide you with the vision and tools to better understand how you found yourself in your current situation, and more importantly how to clear a pathway to begin confidently moving in a clear direction with clear goals in mind.  The Life Purpose Session helps you better understand how you interact with the world and the energies that naturally expression through you.<br />
<span id="more-2421"></span>The Energy Clearing sessions help remove obstacles so you can see more clearly and confidently flow with life. And the Creation sessions empower you to open to your own innate wisdom and personal power so you can bring your authentic passions and visions into reality.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I cannot say enough positive things about how profoundly the Natural Rhythms work has impacted my personal healing, my clarity of vision, as well as my ability to better understand and accept both myself and the people around me. Stepping out of the forest and into the light of my deeper Spiritual Essence has brought me a freedom, confidence and joy which is difficult to put into words. I am so excited to be able to share these tools with others!  What a great gift!<br />
By NR Creation Coach Jeff Craft</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It seems like today&#8217;s corporate world is full of more transition and change than ever before. And even when we truly desire a change and long to create something new in our lives and in our work we often feel some kind of inner resistance that makes our next steps seem unclear or even impossible. The power to create the lives we are meant to live, begins within each one of us. In Creation Coaching sessions I am honored to hold a container to help my clients to deeply listen themselves into awareness of inner resistance, outdated patterns or mental models that are holding them back. Awareness opens up the choice to release, to shift and to let go, enabling them to choose to step into creating new possibilities for themselves.<br />
By NR Creation Coach Lynette McCormack</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I am one of nine recently certified as a Natural Rhythms™ Creation Coach. Accessing the individuated teachings of Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Spirit is a continuous vocation of mine, and thus an ongoing process.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Each of the elements has opened doors inside me some of which were rusted shut, some had the handle soldered off, others open and shut like a back screen door on a windy day.  Thru these incredible gateways to the core of creation, I have gotten to know myself in all my glory and all my shadow.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The beauty of creation is it is what it is and you are what and where you are right here right now. When you access your own inner nature thru the master teachers of creation, you can release, you can remove blocks, and you can decide how you want to re-create your life thru your own divine power.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you yearn for a place where you can explore your truth want tools and space to see what your  nature and your unique connection to the elements can  do to bring your life into divine alignment, I invite you to work with one of our Creation Coaches. The sessions offered can make an immediate difference for anyone.  If you are curious follow your own  intuitive call  …  contact a Natural Rhythms Creation Coach™ and see where it leads you.<br />

<p style="text-align: justify;">Between the Sun and the Rainbow …</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lay the road on which I traveled home, Sunday afternoon March 28, from the 6-day intensive Natural Rhythms 300 training, and Natural Rhythms Creation Coaching training.  The depth of feeling about this experience was defying words, and so I just relished in the feelings, allowed the emotions to flow, thought about all the options now opening to me, and was excited to return home to take the first steps on my new path.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Up ahead the sky was darkening, and suddenly, all the Elements began to do an “as within, so without” dance. Rain began to sprinkle, then became a downpour, and out of nowhere, hail pelted my windshield.  All the while, the sun continued to shimmer in my rearview mirror.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Suddenly, a rainbow appeared ahead, faint at first, then becoming stronger and more vibrant.  It seemed to traverse a sunrise to sunset expanse.  Next, a second rainbow appeared, this one closer to me, going all the way to the ground, with individual raindrops visible within the colors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Then, it happened.  The rainbow laid itself down on the ground directly in front of my car.  As I approached to meet it, it seemed not to move.  I was driving over the rainbow.  The prisms of color remained suspended, a phenomenon that cannot actually happen, so it is said. But, when you are evoking the Elemental Forces of Creation, what was once not possible comes swiftly into focus, and provides the stepping stones for journeys of unimagined depth, joy, and beauty.<br />
By NR Creation Coach Bonnie Salamon</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Natural Rhythms creative coaching training gave me an  additional tool that will enhance my clients experience to the elements  in their private sessions.  Thank you Lisa for your lens that bring  a richness to aligning with natures magic.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0215.JPG"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1714" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 12px 20px;" title="IMG_0215" src="http://naturalrhythms.org/2.0/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_0215-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0215" width="300" height="225" /></a><br />
Navigating your internal water when you are consciously creating your life isn’t always easy.  As you expand past your inner comfort zone to maneuver and guide your creations to their desired destinations, sometimes your emotional water is rough.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This can be especially challenging during collective turbulent times of change. When the winds of fear are blowing for the masses it can churn up your emotional water and make it tough to get through. You might even decide you can’t get there at all when the winds of uncertainty are intensely whipping and the water’s really choppy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, it is during these times that you most need to keep your focus on effectively creating your life. We just entered a new decade; one where there is a looming date of impending change ~ 2012. While it might all blow over like Y2K, you still need to effectively direct and create your life. Making choices of where you want to be at the end of the next decade.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You need to chart your own course and focus on your destination instead of allowing yourself to toss around undirected in the collective sea of uncertainty. In order to move through these potentially rocky waters you need a plan. You need to increase your ability to listen to the centering guidance found in nature and learn to navigate your ship by the direction of sun, moon, and stars.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-1713"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And interestingly enough, life creation functions best when your receptive and active energies are in balance and you work effectively with each of the elemental realms.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The receptive phase of creation is the time you spend reflecting, planning, learning, clearing old energies, focusing and directing your energy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Then, in the active phase your actions are aligned with your inner knowing, guidance, and direction. As you spin your creations out in the world they are targeted with your soul purpose and essence expression.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once the balanced creational alignment occurs between your inner and outer awareness, the elemental forces can dramatically assist you in bringing your desires into being.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Crafting a new decade through the rocky waters of change requires that you take the time to focus your intention and know where you want to go. Sometimes moving through rough water takes more time and energy than you knew going in but you can arrive safely and soundly with patience and skill development.</p>
