Stuck?

What is stuck?

We all know, yet the answer is illusive. It can be an unfinished item on a ToDo list, a postponed decision for no apparent reason, an inappropriate reaction to a momentary thought, or the abrupt interruption of feelings of incompetence, unworthiness or foolishness. It often is far worse.

Move!

Stuck? Move!

What is Move!? It is innate skill. It is how: Experience modifies beliefs created by old experience. It quiets distress, elaborates our values and develops valuable intuitions about ourselves and the world around.

It happens continuously without effort or conscious thought. We can improve our skills and give conscious direction to our motion.

"But I Can't"

Stuck? Move! “But I Can’t”

When we can’t, we are stuck in an unchanging experience. Because it never changes, it proves a narrow truth. We experience these narrow truths as limiting beliefs. How do I set unchanging experiences in motion and dispel limiting beliefs? Move!

Furies! - The Struggle For Growth

Furies! The Struggle for Growth answers three major questions:

Why do some memories torment us?
Why do they persist?
Can personal growth transform them?

Furies! deepens our intuitions about person growth. We will feel strengthening courage and a clearer understanding of our core values.

Personal growth creates who we are - the self we might be proud of, have respect for and feel uplifted by. As we confront our own Furies, we deepen our relationship with the self we have grown to be.

Now For Some Music: Blue Sky by The Allman Brothers

“Blue Sky” from Eat A Peach by the Allman Brothers always stops me in my tracks. I drop whatever I’m doing however deep the flow and listen.

The song repeats one verse/chorus twice. The lyrics are worthy of a Halmark card, or heavy rotation from the Twitter affirmation/quotes groupies.

The song expresses such aching joy in the music. The guitar play gives me goosebumps. The song is 5 minutes long, the singing is 30 seconds. That is a lot of goosebumps. If this music was in church, I’d go daily.

The music redeems the lyrics. To me, the song would be diminished without their sentiment, such is the power of the feelings aroused by the guitars, such is the power of redemption.
