What People Are Saying
|
"When we rest, we can relish the seasons of a moment, a day, a
conversation. In relationships, we sense the rhythms of contact and
withdrawal, of giving and receiving, of coming close, pulling away, and
returning. To surrender to the rhythms of seasons and flowerings and
dormancies is to savor the secret of life itself . . . Many scientists
believe we are 'hard-wired' like this, to live in rhythmic awareness,
to be in and then step out, to be engrossed and then detached, to work
and then to rest,"
-- from Sabbath by Wayne Muller

Eve's Specialties
|
I specialize in Coaching that:
Enriches & supports life transitions-- attracting & enhancing jobs or careers; attracting & enhancing relationships; planning for retirement; changing living environments; changing spiritual direction.
Rebalances your life (where do I really want to put my time, energy, and resources?)-- developing awareness of personal choices & commitments; decluttering; learning time management skills; connecting to a more authentic vision of living.
Opens your creative advantage-- developing & exploring your vision for fulfilled living; committing to choices that matter; asking directly for what you want; expressing your unique message; completing writing, art, other personal projects.
I also offer Body-Energy Therapy on its own-- and in conjunction with coaching-- for people who want to move with greater ease and depth through life transitions and challenges. In helping you feel and embody your energy for action, body-energy awareness is an integral aspect of bringing your goals to life and fulfillment! (Note: I also offer safe, focused, body-based work for survivors of sexual abuse and other trauma.)

When S-l-o-w-i-n-g Down is Good for Gearing Up
 As I begin my writing here, it is solstice, the shortest day of 2008. I am already anticipating my entry-- and yours-- into a year of possibilities that will engage our hearts and minds in exciting directions and successes for 2009. In the moment, however, solstice offers me a warm cocoon in which to slow down and experience my personal space. I am no longer striving to create a newsletter. I am allowing myself access to what flows from my heart and motivates my actions.
January is often a time when people rev up their energy to meet new resolutions for personal and professional development-- which is great! It's important to remember, though, that successful, satisfying action happens in the context of making time and space to learn what truly motivates and draws you forward. In our action-driven society, it is rare to find people who simply relax and pay attention to their true desires.
Wayne Muller, in his quietly compelling book, Sabbath, reminds us that when we imbue our lives with the natural biorhythms of action, rest, action, and again rest, we are instinctively productive by being in harmony with who we are. One sentence absolutely grabbed my attention: "When we live without listening to the timing of things . . . we are on war time, mobilized for battle." This is exactly the dilemma of many people who come to see me, feeling physcially tense and emotionally anxious about creating changes in their lives. Either they are rushing through their days with too many responsibilities-- or they are overwhelmed with possible options and don't know where to begin their first step in a new direction. Neither of these paths is clarifying or satisfying.
In both cases, people hesitate to pause for fear of being engulfed by confusion, doubt, and fear. Yet learning to slow down consciously and become aware of our breathing, our feelings, and our physical sensations is the first step of an inner shift towards openness and inner freedom that leads towards new, satisfying action. As an added benefit, having regular periods of consciously slowing down is a great boost to your overall health and well-being.
One woman I've worked with took a long-overdue holiday to the Caribbean that was a revelation to her. She told me, "The people there have their own rhythm, and it's slow and peaceful. I slowed down and experienced the sensations of breathing, moving in the water, and just being with my husband." As she shifts from a leadership position in an agency to working on her own artistic and professional projects, she is taking the "felt" image of Caribbean slow-down as part of her own new rhythm for living authentically and well.
If you feel you could benefit from skilled, personalized support in creating change that meets your needs and satisfies your heart, please slow down and take a deep breath, contact me, and get ready to begin this rewarding experience! Also check out below for some exciting new classes I'm offering for people wanting to begin the coaching experience as part of a group.
With warm wishes for a most fulfilling year,
Eve
Tip for slowing down & touching base with your body-mind self--
Inhale. Exhale. Follow the breath. In . . . and out....
Drop down into yourself.
From this place . . . ask your body how to cleanse
Any old patterns that may hold you back.
How can life be easy for you?
