theMessenger - Praise (Feb 08)
January
2008
Praise
is literal food for feminine qualities. If you want
a woman to grow in her radiance, health, happiness,
love, beauty, power, and depth, praise these
qualities. Praise them daily, a number of
times.
- David Deida,
Way of the Superior Man
I have learned much
from my work as a SHiNE Agent. As a teacher, guide,
and coach facilitating brilliance in others, I have
come face-to-face with myself. Sometimes with joy,
other times with apprehension . In 2008, I am
focusing on walking the talk even more, as I work
(and play) hard to unleash the latent powers that
lie dormant within. I am pleased to note that, this
year, I myself have a coach and mentor to assist me
on my journey to a more rich and fulfilling
expression of how Brilliance works through me.
Becoming the client again has reminded me of the
courage that it takes to reach out for support.
Through my work, I learn more and more that the
desire to be acknowledged for our deepest essence
is inherent and universal. Nature intended that we
create a web of brilliant support around us to
nourish our growth. Thus, when our pride keeps us
from reaching out for connection with others, it
does us a great disservice. It often leads us to
the most tragic disconnection that can happen -
disconnection with the divine spark within.
The majority of my students and clients are women.
This month being the month of love, I feel
compelled to reach out to each one of you with a
brilliant reminder. You are an essential aspect of
a Radiant and Powerful Energy that deserves to be
praised and worshipped daily! Worshipped? By who?
Well, by YOU, of course!
If you aren't sure how to gift yourself with the
awareness of self-love and put it into action in
your life, we can help. I invite you to attend a
class or schedule a coaching session soon. I am
always honored to facilitate a container for
recognition, self-celebration, right action, and
praise. You are a perfect and essential facet of
the Divine Brilliance alive in all of us.
Self-love, when understood in its purity, is far
from an egoic pursuit. It is the recognition of
Oneness, not separation, that activates our SHiNE.
Let's work together to remind one another, yes?
In 2008, I am more committed than ever to serving
you through a new program: The SHiNE Ministry.
Visit my blog to tag along as I experience various
spiritual communities, reporting on brilliant
outlets in the Portland area. Or, join me for a
class, coaching session, or New Earth SHiNE Circle
in the coming weeks.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
With Love,
Candice
