I was recently listening to Wayne Dyer talking to Oprah Winfrey about his new book called 'Change your thoughts ,change your life' , living the wisdom of the Tao , he then talked about being out of the spotlight for a whole year of his life to write ths book. It is a series of 81 essays on The Tao, the meaning of life almost. I was very interested in a lot of the other stuff he talked about , you can find this chat on the Oprah web site. I bought the book 2 days ago , it is amazing. One of the chapters talks about, speaking less and listening more

Six weeks ago I lost my voice literally, I woke up on a morning when I was due to teach a class.  I struggled all day , six weeks later my voice has hardly come back.  I began looking into metaphysical reasons for the this problem . It was only the week before that I had stated to all who would listen, I was going to 'talk less and listen more'.  Well how is that for service from the universe ?  I am a therapist and life coach , so my voice is my tool, my most precious one.

After about a month I started to worry ,it would never come back, but then decide to just let go and see what happened . I started affirmations for my voice, started to allow the thought behind all this to come through.  I realised I was full of fear, of failing in my new venture, of not being as good as I 'should' be whatever that means. I am a perfectionist, of course only with myself!

My ego was not very happy about the fact I was standing still re evalutaing my life , my direction, my spiritual connection. I surrendered and waited to see what happened. I began to realise that my life was very out of balance, I was working too hard, I had intended to work only 25 hours a week but had finished up working 7 days a week.

My most famous saying is ' Is the race you call life making you sick' well yes it is  I realised, what a learning experience  that I can pass on to others once again. I dont have too many answers yet, but I am taking it slowly  and listening more. My voice is coming back very very slowly.

I am also enjoying pancha-karma treatments of hot medicinal oil all over the body and steam to push in the oil and toxins out (from the throat virus I have had) , wonderful , I will talk about that journey on my next blog. So remember, "Live the Impossible Dream" slowly.

love and light
