I am in awe of the many people whose paths have crossed with mine in this past year. My clients, colleagues, friends and family have all inspired me to a deeper level of heartfulness and authenticity. I thank you for your part in my life and for what you do to shine your light into the world. Please, not for one moment, underestimate how important your presence is.

“Everything Changes when we change.” David Whyte

Re-energizing for 2007
Coming into a new year is cause for starting fresh, reconnecting with your priorities, and recommitting to what has meaning and passion for you.

Do you tend to make New Year’s Resolutions, but discover that they aren’t sustainable–that they tend to slip away quickly? And, then, find yourself disappointed once again? That may be because “resolutions” come from our head (that busy mind of ours). Here’s a different, more heart-centered approach to starting your new year:

  • Identify 5 sustainable values or qualities that are absolutely core to you living your life with esteem, integrity and fulfillment. These are 5 values or qualities that you want in your life as long as you live. (If you need help with this, I have a long list of values that I can email you. Take your time–these are important!)

  • Identify 2-3 ways that you would like to express each value or quality in the coming year. What actions or ways of being would be a satisfying reflection of this quality in the coming year?

  • From this list, sense what you experience true “resolve” around. You may get a sense of an “alignment” within yourself, or even goosebumps. Ask yourself, “If I resolved to do/be _________ in the coming year, what difference would it make?” Based upon your answers, you are creating your foundation for action in 2007.

  • Identify what you feel truly committed to and experience the deeper sense of Resolve.

    I hope you will enjoy using these exercises, and find them uplifting. In these busy times, this is a way to pay attention to what has deeper value in our lives, and nurture our spirits.

    NET:  Are you in complete alignment with your intentions?
    Have you ever gotten “mixed messages” from another person. For example, the person might agree to do something, but doesn’t carry through; or when a person says “yes” but his or her body says “no?” We can call this a lack of alignment.

    It is not unusual to experience a lack of alignment in ourselves, for example, between what we say we want, and what some other part of ourselves thinks is ok. Over the past 18 months, I have been studying and incorporating a powerful mind-body technique in my coaching practice. NET or Neuro Emotional Technique, developed by Dr. Scott Walker, is founded on an integrated body of knowledge and is used to identify and dissolve internal (emotional-physiological) obstacles that block the attainment of one’s personal desires and goals.

    Using the body’s deep intelligence, the NET process allows individuals to be freed of long-standing inner blocks and to realize their life priorities. For more information on my work with NET, contact me at Roxanne@lifewisecoaching.com.

    Upcoming Programs

    Relationships Workshop: Intimate and Professional

    An authorized

    Riso-Hudson workshop

    February 9-11, 2007

    Mercy Center, Burlingame, CA.

    A life without relationships… it’s impossible. Relationships are core to our existence, and have an enormous impact on our identity, self-worth, and success in the world. They can be rewarding and intriguing, as well as baffling and sometimes painful. How we interact with others provides a key to our psychological and spiritual development.

    The Enneagram offers a profound and immensely practical way to understand and shift your relationships with others. In this workshop, we will address how core thinking and emotional dynamics operate between different Enneagram types, explore effective methods you can use to communicate with people of each type, and learn how the three Instinctual Variants (Subtypes) affect primary motivations in your relationships. You will gain new perspectives on yourself and others, and gain valuable insights to having healthier relationships.

    Hours: Friday, 7-10 p.m. Saturday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.

    Sunday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

    Registration: The registration fee is $260.00. Contact LifeWise Learning Institute:

    Upcoming Programs Continued…
    Nine Paths: The Inner Journey

    We know that the Enneagram provides a powerful framework for the exploration of how the personality, left unexplored, defines our self-image, creates the inner story of our lives, and shapes our thoughts, emotional reactions, behaviors, and relationships.

    The Enneagram also provides a map to our higher nature.

    By being present wit the higher aspects of self, we can tap into expanded experiences that light the way to our Essential Nature.

    Be a part of this program that offers six monthly sessions to deepen and reinforce the teachings of the Enneagram within a supportive, small-group environment; and provides a structure for ongoing personal exploration, practice and release.

    The focus of this series is the exploration of the Essential and Expansive Nature of each Enneagram points.

    The highly experiential format includes teachings from the Enneagram, meditations, somatic work, interactive and reflective exercises within an environment that supports the practice of presence. A coaching process will incorporate between-session “fieldwork,” and in-session debriefing.

    This series is open to those who have taken a basic Enneagram course.

    Dates: Monday nights (Mar 26, Apr 23, May 21, Jun 18, no July meeting, Aug 13, Sep 17 )

    Time: 6:45-9:15 pm

    Place: San Mateo Coastside
