New patterns for life in google-world

Diving into a new book is always fun; jumping into "What would Google do?" by Jeff Jarvis is an eye-opener! I"ve been writing about overcoming solemn vows from other lifetimes; we might just as well repattern our old ways of marketing from this lifetime too. No more focusing on our precious brands as though they were the center of our universe. And attempting to draw customers in. The turnaround is to send our brands out to live where our customers do. This is the hardest part once you give up the old vows of internalized spirituality and emerge into today's world. The fact is, EVERYONE is living out loud. Not discretely or with any kind of noticeable simplicity. Even simplicity is lived out loud.No longer obedient to someone else's code, but designing multi-lateral attractiveness into our own. No longer clinging to proprietary materials, but inviting others to reach out and make them better.
Don't wait for 2012. The shift is already here and google/web 2.0 is leading it!

Overcoming Nun Karma

As I've continued to teach Holistic Marketing, one problem stands out.

So often people's brilliant creative ideas, exceptional talents and extraordinary life experiences remain hidden behind conformity to someone else's rules---their peers, an agency, a guru, an outside authority figure.

Up until recently I couldn't figure out why this pattern seemed so hard to overcome.

Then a wise person, an energy healer named Dr. John Wyrick, dropped a precious nugget of information in my ear and I suddenly saw the ancient patterns at play.

Turns out I wasn't dealing with just a fear of marketing, or resistance to a "snake oil" approach.

Or even the fear of persecution (so often seen in Repatterning sessions).

This resistance is from another kind of ancient imprinting.

One that's not in our physical or emotional or mental bodies. One that's actually stored in our higher frequency soul bodies: our Light Bodies.

This is a resistance that comes from high-level karmic residue: left-over solemn vows taken before God (Allah, Buddha, the Divine Source),

when we served as nuns, monks, priests/priestesses, mystics and martyrs.

And generally lived a cloistered, secluded life.

Now, as we evolve in consciousness and take our holistic practices public, it is time to clear this karmic residue.

Perhaps you recognize its contents: Vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, silence, selfless service, renunciation, a pledge to remain 'dead to the world.'

What holds these vows in place is that they were made before God and not meant to be broken even in death.

They were made in a place of sanctuary, often at a time of danger and stress, so they represent a lifeline of safety and security.

They were made in an expanded state of spiritual love and beauty, so why would we want to release them?

Well, because the very same virtues we gained in lifetimes of spiritual devotion are most needed today. But in the world, not in seclusion. These vows hold us back!

So we have to learn anew how to communicate, create, speak out in our own unique voice and style.

How to step out of the caves and Cloisters and monastic cells, (even though we may still have a sense of danger and stress).

Coming up: Teleseminar series to release the old vows.
