Life is a teacher in so many ways.  Challenges come our way.  Changes are inevitable.  And, yet, in the midst of chaos there’s a place where you can go to regroup, rejuvenate, relax and renew.  That place is Miraval (www.miravalresort.com).  There is something about being here that helps you get to the source, to your soul and to your truth.  I’ve been here a few times, and inevitably something comes up during my stay. Something that I needed to happen and yet totally unexpected.  The key is that what we need to grow and what we need to move forward can take place when you do some difficult work; sort of like peeling away our outer layers. 

For me personally, today was a day of renewal and in some ways regression.  I choose not to go into it here, however it was an experience that needed to happen and although it emotionally exhausted me, it also brought a gift to me – a gift of healing and a lesson in perseverence and trust.  Trust is huge for so many and I’m no exception.   Trust, in this case, is about trusting ourselves and going within.  We know the answer to many questions and yet we tend to seek out other options and other opinions because we don’t trust ourselves enough to make the right decision.  The right decision is what is right for us, what we believe and what we have faith in. 

This experience was necessary and one that I’ll continue to work on.  I met with Shelly Eagle and went through her Intuitive Synergy session.  It combines hands-on energy work with intuitive counseling to balance chakras and clear present and past life issues.   (www.miravalresort.com)

Shelly is a warm individual and one that you’re immediately comfortable with upon your first meeting.  Our experiences are different, we are all different, however sometimes a session like this one is helpful in getting ‘unstuck’ as it gives us an opportunity to heal and move forward. 

This is just one example of how we can get to our truth, how we can uncover our authentic selves.  Whether you opt to take a session like I did or focus on journaling, or maybe a professional fitness coach or perhaps a nutritional consultation is what you need to have your aha! moment.  Whatever it is, there are choices and taking the first step may be what you need to have the journey of your life.  A life of joy, a life of passion, a life of truth and healing. 

More tomorrow as I report directly from Miraval.
