What was, or is, your dream career?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 15, 2008:
Following on from my last blog, this is a synchronistic dream of a Q&A.. it's over-ridden all the usual reasons for not blogging (like today's 'it's already tomorrow and I've got a flight at 8am' - honest!)
(I'm going to do something of a DD on this one, meaning using Sandra's wonderful Diving Deeper mode of discovery).
Deep breath.....
So feeling into my feet on the tiles of the floor, and taking a deep breath down there to include them in this exploration, my awareness coming into my root chakra n pelvis.. and the squishy orange cushion on the uncomfortable but friendly old spanish chair i sit at... I'm clearly a body person, and up to the heart and out to the fingers tappin away.. .. my dream career is deeply rooted in the tissue, muscles, sinew and bone of this magical spacesuit-temple I'm flying in. And all the joys and sorrows, learnings, discoveries and euphorias I've learned to grok and/or just plain exprience here.
And I dream of sharing with any other who cares to (therein lies the rub - how much do I believe that other's 'care to'?) how joyous and profound this journey of flesh and blood, air and earth can be, and indeed IS... if we only open our eyes to it. All of our eyes.
The eyes in ever single cell, secure within it's oh so temporal membrane....
I deeply, physically (is it too much to say physiologically?) feel, and therefore trust, that much of where we need to do our learning and accepting and growing-beyond, as just one more sentient life form upon this gorgeous, teeming, sacred, growing, thriving, humming, singing ball of life, is embedded within every cell of every one of our temple-spacesuit-bodies.
One of the mayan languages refers to human beings as (in rough translation) cosmic-root-vibrators!! Now you may be seeing some kindof funky parsnip sex toy here.. but hey, stay with me... there could be EVEN more to it than that!!! Just imagine...... ;-D))))) The earth-acupuncture we could be doing, at the very least!
Back to the dream career... there are SO many magical ways we can work with these here space-suit thangs, and no one here on Gaia really needs me to point that out. But for the sake of this blog, and my voicing my OWN dream career here, what I really LOVE to do is sing with it, and dance with it and practice body work, above all BODY HARMONY® with it. (spot that funky little ® thing that I just got my spanish keyboard to work out!) So the Body Harmony (.org) website sucks... but the technique's the biscuit guys.. and I've been studying it for some extended trips around the sun here. Like 15 plus.... I've made it to consultant status.. hanging out for the teacher thing (if divorce doesn't come between me n the dates again, course I'd have to marry and divorce again!!).......
So I have a dream working it's way into the world here.. it's called GuruBody .. where the guru.. yeah, you got it!.. is the Body which leads the way: how we feed it, what we feed it with, how we treat it, how we follow the 7 (or however many) ages we live through in it.. and so on.. and so forth.. and extendedly kind of ad-infinitum open-ended learning and exploring.
My dream is to help people to access these things for themselves, through working with their own GuruBodies.
So that they can learn to honour whatever their own guru is calling them to do. For me this is the ultimate way to integrate the wisdoms of our individual selves, with our cultures and stories whose shoulder we stand on and with the futures that are already resonating in our magical and oh-so-temporal cells.
I guess I'm already more than half way there - blessed be!
Aho!

I swear I’m not being a groupie, Lynx. I actually like this. Just today I had a flashback to at least 8 yeas ago when I said to myself, I really ought to pay close attention to my body so I can ‘plan’ my lifestyle much more effectively, know what to eat and when, what I can live with and without - ice cream is formally IN! - when I might be neglecting some important activity like stretching for circulation or running/swimming for cardio, etc. etc. It requires a combination of mindfulness and knowledge of the chemical makeup of your body, I think… which requires Time and Mind space…
I have taken some time and I think I have done ok but could be LOTS better; I’m not yet the Guru of my bod. If I get too consumed with one of my exploits, I can easily forget such simple things, so my emotions are HUGE in maintaining my health at the optimal balance. I’m trying to ‘get’ that one finally. Right now I am experiencing some body pains that I shouldn’t have, but I am sure of the source and it was avoidable. I’m so certain of this!
I’m just saying that some guidance would be great even now that I think I’m about halfway along and I can imagine many people, certainly women, who would love to learn the special things to look for to optimise their bodies and their lives and wellbeing. So I hope you will go for it - all in God’s Time.
Love you muchly. Sherri
awesome vision. it is scary how disconnected from our bodies and body wisdom we can get in this modern society. just keep pushing on, ignoring the signals, ignoring all the messages from a tired, overstressed, neglected body, keep feeding it junk… and then, boom! surprise, surprise, land up ill and unable to go on.
i'm right now ruefully realising how deaf i have been to my own body, as i am down with a cold for the first time in a very long time. have a strong immune system but can't push it forever and expect it to protect me.
so, lots of time to reflect on the error of my ways while i recover…
have a great trip, dear one, and keep us posted with your progress on this! very important…
Sherri thankyou for being my first non-groupie! Sorry it's taken a while to reply, I've been on the road .. there are a few things I would say here, but class begins this morning and I doubt I'll have much computer time till next week.
Nicole, to you too, and thanks for encouraging me to keep you posted, I will for sure.
Have a great week

Hi Lynx, you are so erodite, you have put your dream career into words with such passion no one could help but want to work with you. Writing like this I think there is definitely an option for you to develop some helpful tips and guides to market over the net.
Go for it !!!!!!!
Bless
Have misssed you Lynx, love this dream, amen to this blog you will have another avid reader here, so much to learn about this.Hugs.
Sherri a very healthy icecream is frozen fruit blitzed with a banana till it is icecream texture eat immediately, delicious, no fat, no sugar only the sweetness of the banana
Gounds great. Gonna check it out immediately! Wondering about Lynx too…
Oh thankyou for your wondering, and missing me! Me too!! At least my Lynx presence.
I've been waiting, not so patiently, for the space to come back here and continue with this blog/conversation.
Your comments were the affirmation I seemed to have been needing and I've been busily building in this direction for these past two months.
The domain names are mine now.. the sweetest logo has been created by a lovely woman I met and I've been playing with building the web myself using templates. I am SO not sure that this will be the end format! But the process of trying to build it myself is bringing the clarity that will be needed if I ask someone else to help me in the long run.
It feels like a speeded up gestation process (or else it's been taking the full 43 times around the sun I've already completed!) … will let you know as soon as it's there to visit.
Yummy ice cream recipy Zephyr .. thankyou!!
Love to you all xx mamlynx
I'm excited for you Lynx! You know why? I built my website in that same way and it was a truly truly wonderful exercise and experience for all of the reasons that you meantioned. I really built clarity in my mission while I was doing it, because I felt 'I can't put junk up on my website!' Your path is sounding so similar to mine! There is still text I put up on the site nearly 4 years ago that remains; I'm pretty amazed by that. But it says it was 'me' speaking even then.
Let it go, and let those creative juices get flowing. You are doing SO great!!!
Love, again. Sherri :D
