How's Your Alignment? Claudette Rowley Copyright 2003

"Your sense of boredom, contraction, or resentment is your soul's way of letting you know that you are settling for less."

- Alan Cohen

I love going to see my chiropractor for spinal adjustments. After each visit, I notice that I walk more easily. With my spine properly aligned, it takes far less energy for me to move with ease and comfort. Sometimes I don't even realize how out of alignment I am until after adjustment.

When your life is in alignment with who you are and what you want, it feels much like sensation you have when your spine is aligned. As your life synchronizes with what you want, energy flows toward those desires, opportunities open up and life and work require less effort. Mental and emotional alignment is just as efficient as physical alignment.

During a recent coaching session, a client (she's an enterpreneur, coach and author) expressed that she had a case of "blahs" professionally and wasn't sure why. After digging beneath surface, she discovered her desire to shift most of her focus to book she's writing. She also wanted enough income from her coaching practice to support herself and her writing. In order to support this desire, she decided to coach only two days per week and rescheduled her clients accordingly.

You Get to Want What You Want

"What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better." - Doris Lessing

When you tap into your inner voice and identify your vision, you bring to life your deepest longing. Your vision manifests essence of you based on your truth, values, creativity, and authenticity. Putting yourself out into world in this way can feel risky; thought of that risk can easily block your from seeing your vision.

A vision can be small or large, and have an impact on your daily life or big picture of your life. For example, a vision of ideal day care situation for my baby forms in my mind as his birth grows closer. I'm counting on vision of what I truly desire to assist in attracting optimal child care situation. In whole scheme of life, this is a smaller vision, yet no less important. And this "smaller" vision makes a direct impact on my ability to realize my far-reaching vision for my coaching business.
