A
special thanks to those
of you who have passed this
ezine to your friends and
associates in Africa,
Canada, Israel, Japan,
Mexico, Philippines, Singapore,
much of Europe, and UK.
I bring together fun-loving,
thoughtfully curious and
dynamically creative people!
That's the possibility I bring to
clients' businesses. ~ DM |
I
think with intuition. The basis of true thinking is intuition. Indeed,
it is not intellect, but intuition which advances humanity. Intuition
tells a man his purpose in life. One never goes wrong following his feelings.
I don’t mean emotions, I mean feelings, for feelings and intuition
are one.
~ Albert Einstein (b 1879) |
Our Earth and a most engaging sun,
both capable of sensitive cognition,
will from their bond reflect to us any
imaginable human intention. ~ DM |
I am a life coach.
Coaching is
essential for those who wish
to design their physical and nonphysical environments
out of realigned intentions.
I design ezines that
match web sites, too.

Staying Awake |
(from The Merchant of Venice)
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted...
~ William Shakespeare (b 1564), an English poet, playwright,
& preeminent dramatist
I celebrate myself, and sing myself.
~ Walt Whitman (b 1819), a U.S. poet, essayist, journalist,
humanist
Neither a lofty degree of intelligence
nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius.
Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
~ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (b 1756), a Freemason,
among the most significant and enduringly popular composers
of European classical music
I sit down to the piano regularly at
nine-o'clock in the morning and Mesdames les Muses have learned
to be on time for that rendezvous.
~ Pyotr Ilich Tchaikovsky (b 1840), a Russian composer
of the Romantic era
A telegroup is a group of people
who share one telephone line (called a bridge line) to hear
each other talk - much like the traditional ‘conference
call.’ Due to personal conversations, recordings of
the sessions are prohibited by the facilitator.

Keep Your Imagination Under Control.
(from The Art of Worldly Wisdom,
translated by Joseph Jacobs)
You must sometimes correct it, sometimes
assist it. For it is all important for our happiness and balances
reason. The imagination can tyrannize, not being content with
looking on, but influences and even often dominates our life.
It can make us happy or burden us, depending on the folly
that it leads us to. It can make us either content or discontent
with ourselves. Before some people it continually holds up
the penalties of action and becomes the mortifying lash of
fools. To others the imagination promises happiness and adventure
with blissful delusion. It can do all this unless you lord
over it with the most prudent self-control.
~ Baltasar Gracian (b 1601), Spanish prose writer

Happy New Year, Everyone!
I sincerely hope this newsletter finds you well, and that your
holidays with family and friends were entertaining and fulfilling.
We have an abundance of goodness around us, and, especially during
holiday rest and relaxation, we become even more aware of our gratitude
and affluence!
As a newbie writer, I occasionally wonder what topics and titles
I’ve written during the two years I’ve been learning
to relate ideas important to me in this newsletter. For those of
you who have recently joined the readership of Staying Awake,
I thought it a good thing to begin 2006 by remembering the seedling
serendipity that generated this blossoming ezine 30 months ago.
The Why for
Staying Awake,
the ezine
In June, 2003, it came to mind that my Dad passed away nearly four
years ago. Sitting here quietly researching at my computer, I looked
up to the wall where his photo hangs, and asked (with a bit of tongue
in cheek), 'If you're around, let me know in a way I don't have
to guess it's you.' That inquiry alone was enough to surprise me!
Maybe minutes later, I received what at first I thought was an
unsolicited email. It seems a business man, Derek, had had a visit
from a spammer who visited his web site to add who knows how many
email addresses, like mine, without permission. In his email, Derek
expressed his apologies about the incident.
Needless to say, I was curious about Derek's enterprise, and went
to surf his site titled Smile At You. When I read that
web address, my jaw dropped.
I saw Derek was an artist, an excellent wood carver. Golly, my
dad was a wood carver, too! If I hadn't been awake and curious,
I would've missed that near instantaneous nudge in answer to my
inquiry.
That story, dear readers, became the very personal show piece
demonstrating what I had already known since childhood: The energy
that manifests our daily experience is our only experience as
humans - everything else is illusion. Anyone who uses that same
energy for deliberately creating delusions for unreasonable profitable
gains misses out on the joy and exuberance of being alive and
sharing light-heartedness with others!
Staying awake to intuitive nudges can be as entertaining as enjoying
a sports match or a classical musical concert, both of which can
be full of synchronicities. Like other performing artists, I am
inspired and motivated by repeatedly recalling art forms’
“Surprise!” intuitions relied on during musical performance.
Classically trained actors and concert instrumentalists and vocalists
are deeply sensitive to their bodies’ creation of complex
psychic harmonies transacted moment to moment during rehearsals
and public performances. Synchronous experiences occur all the time
once hours and hours, and months and months of training have taken
hold in the body’s muscles and thought process. The human
body can recall the training, at will, as well as depend on the
intuitive for synchronicities that eventually appear to create a
sensitive and well remembered performance.
Art forms when the performer begins training the body to meet the
demands of the written musical score, the composer’s style,
and the feelings that must be emoted.
Performing artists usually take for granted the infinite physical
transactions orchestrated simultaneously and harmoniously within
the body. How could we possibly monitor the billions of messages
shooting throughout the body during training or performance? (Performers
can’t help but notice the times when their bodies aren’t
functioning nor responding as freely as during peak times.)
It’s through the continuous nanoseconds of intuitively recalling
art forms that Planet Earth reveals to us and to itself the joyful
passion captivated around and inside our physical movements. Whether
puttering in the house, or building businesses, or in sports, everything
imaginable or nearly imaginable is an exquisite spinning creation-performance.
Our bodies are fascinating! Uh-huh, I was groomed from childhood
to perform piano in public places, so the following sensorial exercise
isn’t new to me: it’s a matter of the heart and matters
of art.
Imagine for a moment that you are about to perform a piano solo
in public. You are dressed to the nines, and, in front of a paying
audience, you briskly approach the nine-foot grand piano that’s
been moved center stage; you feel the cushy wooden stage beneath
the sole of your shoes. You seat yourself on the piano bench,
take a deep breath, and rest your fingers upon the ivory keyboard
while...
Your brain focuses on the heart pumping in your chest; you watch
your wrists move up then down from relaxed arms and shoulders;
your peripheral vision imagines the whole keyboard while you effortlessly
allow the fingers to press the keys (hopefully playing all the
right ones) at lightning speed while...
You feel the sturdy pedal under your right foot blend only certain
sounds from the piano. You feel your left leg as it extends down
to your left foot that comfortably balances the rest of your body
while...
Your ears monitor every milli-second of piano sounds swirling
into the air while...
Your brain and muscles together coordinate years of formal training
of the memorized Mozart score while...
Your face and torso emote, moving to the music's drama while...
You again notice your breath while...
You again notice your heart beat while...
You remember the next item for the grocery list while...
Your body monitors the stars. Yes, our bodies are made of star
dust, and those cells cannot help but remember from where they
came.
Do you now sense our hearts' remarkable orchestrations of intentions?
Aren't bodies and brains and hearts absolutely astounding organs
of invisible cosmic arteries?
We compassionate, imaginative, and observant Earthlings are waking
to the profound elegance that is recalling art forms. Universe is
sentient, and in its grandeur, silently fosters its wisdom within
our physical hearts. It’s all so magnificent; we’ve
hardly a clue.
The joy of staying awake to the grandeur of being human is the
purpose of offering this telegroup.
There’s a telegroup forming! During our three interactive
sessions together, we will practice paying attention to our intuitive
experiences. See the
promo page here.
Imagine what could happen
during our sessions… Each of the seven participants and facilitator
listen deeply to the others. We remember how we might have learned
to translate and retranslate intuitive moments, or how we've dismissed
them, entirely. We become curious about the thoughts or information
that prompted intuits. The telegroup points to the choice for trusting
ourselves in the act of sensing.
During the sessions, exercising our imaginations reminds us of
our physical hearts and bodies. If they choose, participants may
practice depending on their inborn sensing capabilities between
sessions.
We are not alone.
We hope to make a friend or two. We have the opportunity to listen
deeply to participants' personal challenges to discover if their
experiences are similar to everyone else’s. We could find
various ways challenges distract from the excitement of everyone’s
multi-layered intuitive lives.
Here are the possibilities for the
seven participants and the facilitator:
- Remember the intuitive, to often sense the unseen, and to respond
to messages sensed
- Remember the physical body as well as the physical heart
- Make requests to the physical heart, and watch for answers
- Think and speak from the right brain
- ‘Be present’ to illusions and to changing cultural
perceptions
- Make reasonable goals about happiness and contentment instead
of money
- Pay more attention to nature and seasonal changes.
Both female and male capacities for feeling and intuiting will
be discussed and defined according to the consciousness within the
entire group. Translating intuitive experiences is a process, frequently
a mysterious one, at that. All participants, and the facilitator
for sure, will likely glean more words for describing feelings,
senses, and nudges.

The Female Form
The wave of purplish energy that’s the background of the
Staying Awake banner is actually the female form –
I hadn’t recognized it until now. How prophetic and what a
“Surprise!” said I, since I believe Earthlings are presently
evolving into a blend of feminine and masculine energies - a startling
process to us onlookers. (In the banner’s current incarnation
for the 2005 winter solstice, the form is lying on her side.)
Three Nautilus Shells
Several years ago, a long-time friend purchased a beautiful shadow
box of dark mahogany wood. Inside the shadow box were three good-sized,
cross-sections of gorgeous nautilus shells. I had always loved looking
at them, imagining the animals’ intelligence causing buoyancy
as they foraged for food and mated in the ocean’s darkened
depth.
Recently, a client phoned to chat. Guess what she mentioned having
received as a Christmas gift from a friend of hers, last week? That's
right, a very similar decorative shadow box containing three gorgeous
nautilus shells!
“Surprise!” |
