Freedom Friday: 4/1 Resource Round-up (No Fooling!)
Every Friday, I put together this ‘resource round-up’ of news, events, and articles that I hope will nourish and inspire you. If you have suggestions to share with other Liberated Life Project readers, please do post in the comment section.
Spirit
Healing for Body, Mind, and Spirit
There are two excellent offerings from The Shift Network starting next week – both can be done from your own home via teleconferences and online forums. That’s what I love about The Shift Network – workshops with integrity, given through innovative technology.
The first is with holistic health and wellness pioneer Dr. Joan Borysenko, author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind. Called “The Soul Care Course: 7 Weeks to Full Spectrum Health,” it starts on April 4. In those 7 weeks, you’ll learn Dr. Borysenko’s approach to healing and creating your greatest health, wellbeing, and vitality – while deeply nourishing your soul. (Nourishment has been the keyword for my life the past few years, so I love this.)
This course can help you with:
- Greater balance between your right brain and left brain
- Enhanced energy and creativity
- Deeper attentiveness to synergy and guidance
- Realizing compassion, forgiveness and self-acceptance
You can find out more about The Soul Care Course here.
The second is a 5-week course called Bringing the Spirit of Shamanism into Your Everyday Life, with Grandmother Flordemayo, a Mayan-trained priestess, healer, and member of the Council of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. Her teaching is focused on freedom of the heart and helping us navigate these times of accelerated change. This is a rare opportunity to be guided by one of our wise indigenous elders. This online/telecourse starts on April 14. Find out more here.
Finances/Livelihood
Getting Real About Your Money
This past week I wrote about “being the executive director of your own life,” and noted that one important skill to cultivate is having more mindfulness around your finances. If you’re looking to get more control over your money, it really helps to sketch out your monthly spending using a budget spreadsheet. Here’s a link to one of the best free ones available online – it’s got income and expense categories already set up, which you can then customize.
The World We Live In
Great Big Crazy Love
If you love stories, you’ll be crazy about Great Big Crazy Love. This beautiful new website comes from a friend of mine, Penny Alsop. She’s gathered stories – in the form of words, images, and sound – from change agents of all kinds. As Penny writes, “Great Big Crazy Love is the virtual manifestation of bearing witness to the joys and sufferings of our world.” Take a look… you’ll find a lot of inspiration there.
More Ways to Respond to Japan
As Japan continues to cope with the aftermath of its recent natural disasters, the rest of us follow news updates and perhaps even make a charitable donation. Still want to do more? Diana Winston (another wonderful friend of mine) shares a personal meditation session focusing on Japan.
