I dont suppose I can say what those things are for anyone else but I can say what they are for me. What Im going to write about is one of those things. A contradiction no doubt and something of a surprise to me but Im not going to force too many of my feelings on you. Hardly any of you knew my dad so what I have to say wont mean much but it would feel dishonest and a disservice to him to leave his passing unacknowledged when what I write about are things that are important to me. They might largely be ephemeral or even trivial but they felt important at the time so to leave out my dad who was and is truly important to me in a deep and permanent way would feel wrong. Dad Eric Adams was a kind thoughtful intelligentwitty active stoic and engaged person. He loved my mum and us dearly. His tolerance and constancy provided a rock to which we were all anchored even if the chain was sometimes long. Of course he didnt do that a... 2012-2-22 19:59:46 http://www.suehealy.com/page2.htm#110952 In Part 1 I spoke generally about what a bandwidth is and how we might operate in that. Did it seem like a theory of everything Not really. Todays missive will hopefully be a little more inclined toward the allencompassing. Apologies in advance for the sheer length. It goes like this We do seem to train ourselves and each other to view changes in ourselves and out there as very gradual. Revolutions occur of course and volcanoes suddenly erupt but on the whole we take the view that some tiny wee adjustment happens each day and builds to an overall effect that is often imperceptible as it happens. We might only notice a difference after not seeing something or someone for a long time. Sometimes a very long time. Weight loss geology the development of a pregnancy bump an increase in fitness all of these things seem slow steady and gradual. Well I beg to differ. Consider the bump. Yes a baby takes 9 months to grow give or take and cells multiply producing a gradual increase in ... 2012-1-23 10:35:21 http://www.suehealy.com/page2.htm#110493 Last week I enjoyed a long and interesting chat with an old friend. In amongst the meanderings we talked about resonance vibrational resonance to be more precise. If you resonate with something then it feels right to you you recognize it and probably instinctively know how to interact with it. The same is true with people. If you resonate with someone then you get them and they get you. Its easy theres no strain. If you dont resonate with something such as an idea then its meaningless to you it simply doesnt land. And if the same is true of a person then the odds are that if you do it at all communication is not easy. Theres no common ground or even a recognisable shared language. If something or someone resonates with you then youre drawn to them. If not then you may feel actively repelled but you could also feel nothing at all they simply dont register on your radar. Youre not being ignorant your best and most comfortable interactions simply lie elsewhere. At first glance it mi... 2012-1-16 18:47:13 http://www.suehealy.com/page2.htm#109641 Hi. Long time no blog. Life has been busy and interesting but not necessarily in ways that warrant sharing. Now thats changing and Im back on the horse. First let me wish you a very happy productive exciting fulfilling and generally marvellous new year. 2012 will see such changes on every front in every way. I aim to make the most of them and I hope you do too in the ways that suit you best. 2012 is already a year of change for RPT. Ive spent several hours this week soaking up the videos Simon has posted so that I can update my students on the new developments. As Ive said on my home page I love that we share the evolution of RPT with everyone concerned. This is not primarily a business. As teachers we have to make a living but we are not motivated by squeezing the last penny out of everyone coming up with endless courses. The energy of that would be horrible and I wouldnt be involved. Its still just Level1 to learn how to use RPT Level 2 if you want to learn another way of applyin... 2012-1-3 21:43:42 http://www.suehealy.com/page2.htm#92442 I Loved the Book I just Didnt Do the Running Yesterday I retweeted someones link to a howto video for barefoot running. I followed up with my enthusiastic recommendation of the book Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. I read it then reread it last year and loved it. Its about how man is a natural runner as lived and breathed by some indigenous peoples. A tribe in Mexico is the main subject of this book but theres a great story in there about our hero running down an antelope with a trio of bushmen in Africa. He survived but it was close. We evolved as long distance runners its how we survived and came to evolve in the way we have. Something has to explain our uselessly massive backsides and running is that thing. Born to Run is a fascinating and inspiring book that I urge you to read for a gazillion reasons spiritual as well as physical and intellectual. Thats not what this blog entry is about. Its about what I said in my tweet which landed in my own brain with a resounding ... 2011-4-25 09:55:18 http://www.suehealy.com/page2.htm#88540 Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it. Buddha Marcus Aurelius puts it this way in Meditations Everythinga horse a vineis created for some duty. For what task then were you yourself created A mans true delight is to do the things he was made for. If youre doing what you love to do then it isnt work. That is so true. Think about your own life and work. If you hate your job then your life might feel less than perfect. But think of those times when regardless of whether you were at work or simply working on something at home you were completely in the moment. You were focused in the easiest way and you felt good. Everything flowed you flowed. Odds are you were doing something you enjoy that interests you that youre good at. Ive recently concluded that what I most love to do is teach. I view teaching as sharing as exploring together rather than me stood at the front imparting knowledge. If youre doing it right you learn from your stude... 2011-3-6 12:03:37 http://www.suehealy.com/page2.htm#79349 Have you heard of the enneagram Its a system of nine personality types. The starting point is a questionnaire to establish what type you are likely to be. You may groan but were not talking Cosmo quizzes here. The enneagram is very detailed relevant practical and has a huge spiritual aspect to it. The nine types are 1 The Reformer 2 The Helper 3 The Achiever 4 The Individualist 5 The Investigator 6 The Loyalist 7 The Enthusiast 8 The Challenger 9 The Peacemaker You may have a good idea of what you are just by looking at the list but of course we are all a mixture of all types with the balance changing at different times and in different circumstances. But we usually have a dominant type occasionally two. There is a wealth of information available to you once you identify your main type. Your strengths your weaknesses and ways in which you might develop are all offered with compassion directness and humour. There are descriptions of healthy and unhealthy manifestatio... 2010-11-2 20:21:54 http://www.suehealy.com/page2.htm#75213 Isnt it great when a plan comes together Im not sure whose plan this is but it seems as plain as the nose on your face that the worlds of science and spiritualityhealingtherapy cant completely avoid each other for much longer. I exaggerate I know. Plenty of people on either side of that particular divide have been blurring the boundaries for many a moon but its getting more and more difficult for your average hardliner to deny the obvious. There is information aplenty for you to get hold of. A good place to start looking at how the effects of what the spiritualenergetic end of the market practices can actually be measured is with Lynne McTaggarts books The Field and The Intention Experiment. Lynne is a journalist rather than a scientist or healer but shes done a marvellous job of bringing together scientific data on all kinds if issues in an easily accessible and digestible way. Even better shes organising mass experimentation to demonstrate the power of thought in affecting physic... 2010-9-11 08:16:24 http://www.suehealy.com/page2.htm#74144 Day 1 of the blogging age. Well it is as far as Im concerned. There are fears of course. Will I get it I dont get Facebook and so many people rave about it I think I must be missing something huge and obvious probably elephantshaped and too close to see. I refuse to Twitter and blogging seems morally superior to that somehow. Do people really want to know what a person is doing every minute of every day Is every passing thought worthy of note I suspect not. Id forget to do it anyway. But how is a blog different For one it wont be about me. I know this post is but the rest wont be. Honest. Theyll be about real things that really matter. Like what Like how we can help our children understand themselves and the world a little better. And how we can provide ways to help people raise their sights just a bit and wake themselves right up without having to pretend to be something other than what they really are. There has to be a way in and up for everybody. That means that there cant... 2010-8-30 14:26:15
