Hey beautiful people, Do you have plenty to say but don’t seem to know where to begin?  Do you love music and singing but don’t feel musically inclined?  Do you love poetry, theater or any performing arts?   Then you might just fall in love with the art of the Spoken Word. The medium of poetry thrives on vivid imagery and description. But not just visual imagery, any “image” or description that activates any of the five senses, taste, smell, touch, or sound as well.  Spoken word is similar to poetry, but the primary sense we tap into here is auditory, the sense of hearing.   Spoken word is lyrical, a song without music, a speech without formality or a poem without a page.   In this workshop you will discover the rhythms that want to create themselves as you unlock your stream of consciousness and create a spoken word piece in real time that comes directly from your heart.   You will learn how to craft a piece that is meaningful to you, dripping with wisdom, or mystery, or humor, and how to punctuate or highlight that meaning through the use of skillful rhyme, strategic metaphor and unexpected repetition.  We will examine a few famous spoken word pieces in detail and then we will spend time writing and workshopping our own spoken word masterpieces.  Come and learn how to speak your mind artfully!

Transformation Tuesday Continues with a new YouTube video (link in bio) about the brokenness we’ve endured this year, and how to move into healing. But first, a quick poem: 2020 Did not break us. 2020 Broke down. 2020 Helped to wake us. Do you hear the trumpet sound?

Happy Transformation Tuesday, Brokenness is as much a birth right as happiness. It is all but guaranteed. The insanity comes from resisting it. Denying it. Pretending we are not broken mean we will never be able to heal. Be broken. Be authentic. Then, eventually, be healed.

Transformation Tuesday Continues with a new YouTube video (link in bio) about the paradox of chasing after success to achieve happiness when in reality being happy is the truest definition of success there is. Happiness can happen here and now. Don’t wait for the illusion of what you think of as successful to happen to allow yourself happiness. Happiness is your birthright.

Happy Transformation Tuesday, I have been on a spiritual journey for thirty years and can still amaze myself with how much I don’t know. How much I have to unlearn and relearn. 
How much I can forget and regret. And how understanding spiritual principles in my brain is not nearly the same as proving them to myself through experience. Faith comes from practicing our spiritual journey, not from thinking about it. The more I bring concepts into my everyday life, the more I apply my knowledge and therefore transmute it into wisdom the more I find I am only rediscovering things I always knew. The paradox of spiritual awakening is that you are at once perfect now, and filled with potential for new growth. You are fine, and yet you are still becoming. Much like a sapling is full of beauty and the oak tree is full of majesty.

Happy Self Care Saturday, I am learning how to keep my inner tyrant from controlling my behavior by disbelieving all the mean and nasty thoughts I used to be fully convinced were true about me. I used to make mistakes and blame myself, hurt myself emotionally, and get on my own case in a way I would never do to anyone else. Now I’m learning how to turn my mess into a message and use my mistakes, and shortcomings to show others how to be self-gentle. I’m a work in progress, but for the first time in a long time, I’m perfectly okay with my imperfections.

Happy Face Your Fear Friday, My fear has always been about showing my imperfections to the world. But I realize that perfection is an illusion and a mess you are going through can be just the thing that liberates others when you feel free to share and live in your truth, however messy it is. I have felt “off my game” last two weeks, and instead of hiding it and pretending I’m conquering my demons, I’m just gonna admit that I’ve been willingly allowing foibles into my life. The key to liberation is not that we don’t mess up, it’s that when we do mess up we give ourselves the same grace and understanding we’d give any other human in the same situation. Be self-gentle, and then you will be free, within your mess and all.

Happy Transcendence Thursday, Today’s video talks about my own struggle to find worthiness, how I’ve learned to dig up limiting beliefs and the benefits of making that conscious choice.

Happy Word Wisdom Wednesday, The opposite of worthy is worthless. You can only feel worthless when you think you are “worth less” than you actually are. Your value is priceless. And the measure of your value comes from your self estimation. Nobody else can convince you that you are valuable. If you struggle with feelings of unworthiness look at areas where you are treating yourself in ways you’d never treat other people. Where you are being harder on yourself than you’d ever be on anyone else. Where you are withholding forgiveness from yourself though you’d never do that to someone else who feels as contrite as you do about your blunders. The measure of your worth is yours to assign, and yours alone. Knowing your true value means giving yourself grace and patience. You are worth that. I trust you humanity Much Love Fam -Brian PS - New video on YouTube (link in bio) about the power in realizing our own worth, letting that knowing shine out, and lifting the collective consciousness simply by being kind to ourselves.

Happy Metaphysical Monday, Your connection to your body is the same thing as your connection to your intuition, higher self, inner-knowing…whatever you want to call it. The more you can tune into the signals from your body, the more you can experience a true feeling of being guided and directed to your best and most right life. Listen for the still small voice within. It is real. And it leads to paradise.

Happy Face Your Fear Friday, The more I try to change the external world, whether through awareness, force, violence, manipulation or even love, the more I find myself frustrated with the state of the outside world. However the more I go within, learn who I really am, honestly look at my strengths and weaknesses, confront my traumas with love, heal my triggers and wounds, paradoxically, the world—the one I started leaving alone in order to do my self-work—begins to change involuntarily. As I heal myself, and learn to know myself, the world two—it seems—begins to heal as well. As above so below; as within so without ain’t just a cliche in Egypt.
