Shiva Nata Practice Day: The Gap
Intention: There is something I need to finish. It won’t take much to finish, but gosh if I haven’t been avoiding by doing nothing other than staring out windows and walls.
Working on: Level two fast arms and legs sequence 1.
Things that came up for me during this practice: This was very hard, my form has really gotten sloppy the last few months. I noticed myself looking at the time,...

Been Too Busy Epiphanizing to Post!
Right now my life feels completely different than it did three weeks ago. I have been walking around with a quiet calm excitement, amazing things are happening in my business and personal life, and I have perspective.
I thought the pattern changing would be overt like I would see what I was doing and just decide to do it differently. But it is happening much more organically and quickly and...

Shiva Nata Practice Day: Getting to Flow
Intention: I really need to be present and work very hard today. So my intention is going to be asking my body and mind to summon up every ounce of strength to support me in every way I need to be supported today. I need to go reread Havi’s guides because I am feeling like this may be inappropriate, like the intention needs to be a question? But I might as well ask myself for something and...
Shiva Nata Practice Day: Deus Ex Machina Edition
Intention: Was freaking out and couldn’t figure out what to ask for. Just wanted a situation resolved my way! With no hard! But figure I can’t just bring absurd wishes to Shiva Nata and make them come true. So just decided I would ask, “What do I want?”
Working on: Level one verticals, vertical and horizontal links
Things that came up for me during this practice:...

Shiva Nata Practice Day: Dumb Fight Edition
Intention: Figure out how to give the chihuahua a bone. What does he want? I want him to feel like this:
I want him to be safe and secure and at peace and most of all quiet so that I can get unstuck and get back to work. But he is too busy growling and criticizing and alerting me to every possible negative reaction that will result from anything I plan to say or do. He is too busy looking like...

Brain Wackiness - In Which Your Heroine Wins a...
Last night my boyfriend and I played a terrifying card game of speed and death. Okay no one died but it’s a fast game.
My boyfriend has been playing this game since childhood, I have been playing it for about five months (fun fact, he is also a couple decades older than me, so that is a LOT of experience).So he always wins. Every time.
The game is lightning fast, with a lot of bumping into...

Shiva Nata Practice Day: Tiny Chihuahua Edition
Intention : Get some clarity on my procrastination (have been in an unbeatable bout of stuck for a couple of weeks. It is exquisitely hard the last few days. And it is creating terror and fear that are only fueling each other, leaving me, of course, more stuck)
Working on: Still basic level one horizontals and verticals. Have only done the first combination of the two. Will try to go...
