December 2007

Every day is a wonderful day to practice helpful tools that we have learned. However, I feel the holiday season is an extra special opportunity because while there is magic in the air, there can also tend to be tension. It can be an extra busy time and this is all the more reason to keep centered and grounded. My gift to you for the holidays is….non-fat, no calorie and actually really good for you…”PIE”!
Here are the pieces to your “P-I-E”, it is divided into 3 precious pieces (moments):
“P” – Presence
The fastest, easiest way to get present is to focus on your breath. Also, when you take the breath low, into your stomach area, you instantly send a message to your body to relax. Use this moment to truly relax and surrender without judgment. Have you ever heard the phrase, “My presence is your present.” It usually means, “I didn’t bring you a gift, but I’m here to celebrate with you”. But, your presence (being present) really is a "present" to yourself. Take this as your moment to ground yourself and get centered. Once you are relaxed and present focus on your next piece of the “pie”, which is…
“I” – Intention
Use this moment to think of what you want. Put all negative thinking out the window and release all judgments of yourself and others. This moment is where you set the intention of what you would like to happen and how you would like to be. Remember, when you put out an intention, it is another way of asking the universe for what you want it to bring to you. I suggest placing an intention for what you want your whole holiday season to be like and then place intentions daily, hourly, or whatever is needed. You could place your intentions before shopping or on your way to a holiday party or perhaps before your relatives arrive. For instance, “I intend to have a nice time with my family this holiday season”, or “I intend to stay peaceful and allow myself to have fun at the holiday gathering”, or maybe its just a quick, “I am calm”.
This "moment" can be used to begin again!! If you find yourself feeling "off" or things are not "going your way"... this is your moment to get back on track by shifting your energy and you shift your energy by changing your thoughts. However you decide to word your intention, remember it and make it your “mantra” for the season or for a particular event. Now that you are "present" and you have set your "intentions", you get your last piece of the “P-I-E”…
“E” – ENJOY!
Truly, whole-heartedly let go and allow yourself to enjoy (in-joy) your experiences. Enjoy the sounds, scents, tastes, sights and feelings of the holidays! Let this be your gift to yourself…gift yourself with JOY! Immerse yourself in the wonder-full energy of this time of year. (There is a lot of surrendering involved here.) Surrender to the joy and laughter of the moment. Love yourself enough to allow yourself to LET GO and enjoy the holidays!
I hope you like your "PIE"! I wanted to give you a tool to think of quickly and use quickly (if need be) during the holiday season or any time!
P - GET PRESENT!
I - SET YOUR INTENTION!
E - ENJOY!
The beautiful thing about this process is you can spend 20 minutes, 2 minutes or 20 seconds doing it, depending on your situation. In every moment we are making choices … choose to get present, set your intention and then allow yourself to enjoy!
I wish for you a magical holiday season!!
