TRANSFORMATION CORNER
To determine if your current state of wholeness or alignment has room for improvement, ask yourself these questions:
How often do I feel scattered or overwhelmed?
Do I experience resentment or frustration?
Do I have a nagging sense there must be more to life?
Does any aspect of my life feel like a roller-coaster ride?
Am I tired of striving, trying and working harder to get ahead?
If you answer yes to any of these, use this as a call to awareness for yourself, and celebrate your willingness to explore this aspect of yourself. Use the tips in this month’s article and look for more tips in next month’s Going Beyond to support your Year of Wholeness. |

Hi Everyone!
The holidays are past and as I sit in the grayness of an unusually cold January here in the northern hemisphere, I’m reflecting on the year past and the year to come.
This past year was one of growth for us here at Heart Song, our homestead in the Ozark wilderness. We added peacocks to our animal family, and hatched our first batch of Dorking chickens, one of the old, rare breeds of chickens. Rounding out our avian collection are two Silverback pheasants, and of course, the guinea fowl who started it all 7 years ago when I was seeking a natural alternative for flea and tick control. (and they do a great job!)
Imagine my surprise at falling in love with all these feathered beings, when I’ve been strictly a fur- and hair-bearing animal fan prior to this portion of my life. Watching the juvenile birds grow up has been hugely entertaining. Last summer I wrote on my Facebook page about the juvenile roosters, affectionately dubbed “juvie-roos,” from the spring 2009 hatch, and how funny they were as their hormones started kicking in.
Now the peacocks are juveniles, and they strut and posture about the yard, displaying their developing fans to all the other birds as well as the cats, as if to proudly proclaim their presence in the world. Each new day brings new developments, surprises and opportunities for awareness – to say nothing of the growth that follows awareness!
This year will build on last year, with maturation and expansion of the new additions from 2009, both internally as well as out in the barnyard. As Gerald, my husband, and I walk the land to inspect and plan for this next year, so, too, are we walking our respective inner landscapes and planning this year’s planting and harvest within our business endeavors.
Going Beyond will reflect and support this process for you, as well. The 2010 theme for Going Beyond is “A Whole New Year – and a Year of Wholeness.” Each month’s article will explore a different aspect of wholeness and provide concrete tips for Going Beyond in the different areas of your life. And, of course, the companion audios are tailored to each month’s focus, to support you in going beyond what you’ve known as “wholeness” prior to 2010.
Each article is intended to invite, spark and challenge your awareness of your own wholeness, as a loving catalyst to help you grow into your next new horizon.
May this year be one of joyful exploration and expansion, taking you to amazing new places both within and without!
In celebration of the adventure,

Going Beyond the “same old” annual planning process:
A Year of Wholeness – Five Steps to Make this Year Be Truly Different
(instead of merely “more”)
January is a time many of us associate with fresh starts and clean slates: A whole new year to map out and grow into. Often as people consider each new year, they are thinking of how to have the “more’s” in life: More time, money, love, joy, freedom and peace.
As an alternative, as well as a foundation for creating the “more’s,” I invite you to think about more wholeness. This will substantially change your planning process for the year.
In the chasing of the other “more’s,” you run the risk of fragmenting yourself. Portions of your awareness and your creative energy become invested in chasing each respective “more.” Part of you may be scrambling to manage time and productivity more, and part of you may be concerned you don’t have enough love or aren’t giving enough love to those in your life.
This state of striving, scrambling or chasing in different areas of your life can become the catalyst that has you declare, “This year will be different!” However, you continue the same old patterns, thinking and strategies, the year may be simply more intense, frustrating and depleting – an entire set of “more’s” no one really desires!
To minimize the opportunities for fragmentation, consider what it means to be “whole” and unfragmented, to have all the parts of yourself - mind, body, emotions, spirit, all the “voices within” - truly aligned and in harmony. ...read the rest of this article
