Light
Rediscover what gives you vitality and joy
Later I’ll show you how to keep your light always before you,
and how to use it as a powerful and liberating guide for growth
and development.
But the glimpse soon fades, and you’re caught up again in the
worries, constraints, and dramas of daily life.
Getting ready
Directions
Now take some slow, deep breaths, and let everything go.
Allow yourself to just be here now. When you’re ready, open
your eyes and begin the questions.
The questions
2. Why do you love it? How do you feel when you’re doing
it? What is it like? Explain as fully as you can.
Example: I feel really free, like I can move however I want to and
it’s all good. My body feels strong, graceful, sexy. I’m fully alive.
And I love how close I feel to my dancing partners – tender,
sensual, playful, and deep, without any words.

Example: I’m enjoying the feeling of movement and the people I’m
dancing with. I feel very connected to them, even ones I don’t
know. I’m aware of this because I don’t shy away from eye contact,
in fact seek it -- I’m comfortable with myself and open to all.
5. Now look at a time you felt really great and were “in the
zone” (not thinking much about yourself, just caught up in
the flow of the moment).
6. Where were you when you were “in the zone? What were
you doing? What did you notice?
Example: Yes! Time stops and I am carried along, in the flow of the
moment, inspired. When I’m dancing, I don’t have to think how to
move, it just comes. The same when I’m painting a “possibility
portrait.” Spirit flows through me. I feel connected to what
matters most –– it’s deeply fulfilling.
Circle them.
Examples:
1) “connected,” “connection,” “in touch with,” “close”
2) “free,” “liberated” “open,” “relaxed,” “improvisational”
3) “movement,” “move,” “moved,” “flows,” “carried along”
Now look through all your circled words. Make a list of them
here:
Go through your list and pick the 3-5 words that most speak
to you. How would you express them as nouns?
(For you English majors and philosophers: we’re using abstract
nouns, rather than adjectives, because these are not personal
descriptions of you so much as universal qualities that you can
make available to yourself and others.)
The 3 to 5 abstract
nouns you’ve come up with
point to the qualities of what
you could call your Divine Self.
This is the light in you that
wants to shine. It is who you
authentically are, the unique way that you alone express universal
truth, love, and beauty.
