#I Can Do It! 2014

Last weekend I attended a Hay House event called
I Can Do It!  

The brochure suggested that you would 

 "be entertained...get educated...and live a better life."  

There were 10 speakers over the two day event.  

It was amazing. 

Dr. Wayne Dyer was the first speaker and he is so very wise.  He quotes poetry, uses science to make the point and most of all, has a passion to make us understand that we have a choice about what life we create for ourself.  He spoke of obstacles in his life that made him who he is.  He went on a rant about wheat and a book called Wheat Belly.  He wore his message on his shirt.  Love.

Barbara De Angelis was excited to share about shining as who we are.  Her advice was to take a pilgrimage to yourself.  Her statement of "what I can see...I can shift" was thought provoking.  Are we growing, learning, healing and digging to be awake in our life?

I have seen Nick Ortner a couple of times and have his book, The Tapping Solution.  He has a dynamic method, called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), that will change the limiting beliefs that hold you hostage.  The book is at the library, check it out and keep an open mind.

Kris Karr has cancer. She shares her story to inspire us to make changes.  She is adamant that prevention is the best cure.  Self care is the key to live your purpose.  She spoke of being the CEO of your health.  Working through our stuff to love and accept every part of our life to transform with ease and use your intuition too.  Your purpose is to awaken!  Her rescued dog Buddy is sooooo cute.

Greg Braden was kind of scary.  He has the scientific expertise and his facts and figures make you sit up and listen.  He talked of a "new normal."  Our lives are changing in ways we've never seen and we are not going back.  Resilience in these times of extremes is about knowledge and adapting.  He says part of the answer is moving from a competitive world to a creative one with the question "What does the world need?"  Science gives us information but we have to move to our hearts to figure out how to use it on this journey.

(Skeptics skip this part)
Doreen Virtue is an uplifting speaker who receives messages from angels.  She believes every person has guardian angels and we just have to ask for help to receive it.  She spoke of Indigos and Earth Angels and I was very intrigued.  She mentioned feathers falling out of nowhere, sparkles of light, repetitive signs and how important it is to get out in the sun every day.  Her ideas about detoxing are interesting and she is  a mesmerizing speaker.

Deborah King was passionate about energy.  She is an energy healer and spoke of chakras and energy fields.  She took a vector out of someone?  Her tools also included journaling and meditation.  Ask yourself-What is not working?  At the end of her talk I was questioning what had just happened.

My favorite speaker of the weekend was davidji.  His personal story of business man on Wall Street to meditation teacher was inspiring and hilarious.  He spoke of Maslow, the fight-flight response, space between breath, mantras and 16 seconds to bliss.  He explained that if you have thoughts during meditation it means you are alive and if you fall asleep it means you are tired.  He trains cops with a program called Blue Courage.  He asked us all to commit to 21 days of meditation.  I'm in!

Transformation was the topic for Caroline Myss and what an important time we are living in.  We live in a global world and change is constant.  She said "what is one is in the whole."  Our actions have a profound affect on the entire world so give it the best you've got.

Have you ever been on a spirit journey?  Denise Linn was the final speaker of the weekend and spoke about all of us being native, wherever we are from.  She spoke and chanted of a time when the universe was different.  A time when our ancestors could smell the storm, talk to the fairies, instruct others in plant medicine and hear the call in the silence.  She urged us to see that gratitude is very powerful and connecting with nature a requirement in our life.

My mind is full of questions and new thoughts.
I know more than before but I am less sure of what it is or what it means.
I will seek the quiet of meditation.
I will read some of the books that were recommended.
I will look through my notes to remind me of the teachings of this weekend.
I was entertained, educated and given the tools to live a better life.
