Dear Reader, As I am writing these words, I am sick. My body is experiencing the flu. Last night, I got the works: body aches, high fever, chills, sneezing, runny nose, blocked nose, fatigue, insomnia, headache... Usually, being sick is something that makes me feel ashamed. As if I did something wrong, like going out in the cold without covering my throat, not washing my hands enough when I was looking after my sick kids, or not following a proper sleep and nutrition routine that would ensure my staying in good health. In other words, being sick used to feel like expressing to the world that I had been bad. Does anyone recognize the feeling? The advice I received from a very wise and heart-centred lady named Eleonora was to surrender and enjoy my me-time! At first, I laughed to myself. That is not what I call quality me-time! It also brought to the forefront the part I really dislike about being sick: if I am a creator of my own reality, which is something I truly believe, then I brought the sickness on myself. Shame on me. I am definitely trying to teach myself a lesson, and I need to be more vigilant in how I look after my body. And right behind this was the question: how could I possibly surrender to something so unwanted and unpleasant? Can you feel the pressure and the self-deprecation in my chain of thoughts? I could feel it, and it did not taste good. So, I asked myself, How do I flip this around? What other angle can there be where I don't have to feel like I have done something wrong and be ashamed? After I asked this, the first thing that came to mind was, My body is trying to tell me something, and this is the easiest way for me to hear it. Somehow, that didn't feel so bad. And I started to feel into what my body was experiencing through the sickness. How could my nose one minute feel dry and blocked up and the next run like a tap I can't turn off? I thought it was fascinating. Could it be that when it was blocked, I wished so fervently for it to be unblocked, and in that wishing, I made it run like a tap? Then my body felt so cold that I piled on all the blankets I could. When I woke up next, I was sweating and overheating. I definitely wasn't cold anymore! A result of my concentrated focus maybe? I found myself wondering how I could ask for just the right thing in order to recover balance within my systems. The disease in my body actually gave me a sense of empowerment, a doorway to a new understanding of my body, and Eleonora's advice was where it all started. It's no coincidence that she is our welcoming host for the event Your Body: A Weaving Portal, which will be held live on September 5 in her beautiful home in Bellingwolde, Holland. Her energy and presence are exactly the safe, playful, and carefree vibe that will enable you to begin changing the way you understand and cocreate with your body. If you are ready to enter into true partnership with your body and desire to do it in an uplifting, delightful, and caring environment, I invite you to join Eleonora and me in experiencing the portal that is your body. Streamline the past, harmonize the present, and make room for a radiant future using song, movement, and breathwork. It's time to begin honouring your body for all that it is.

Dear Reader, How do you feel? If you have followed the Olympics or watched interviews with people who have accomplished something great or heroic, you might have noticed that one of the first questions they get asked is: How does it feel? We have a natural eagerness to know and understand how people who stand out of the crowd and accomplish great things feel. A potent mixture of positive emotions such as pride, joy, victory, freedom, and accomplishment, reflected back to us, is intoxicating...
Dear Reader, Have you ever played this game where you try to spot odd things, like yellow cars on a long drive? Unless you live in New York City, where it snows yellow cabs, you probably don't see many yellow cars on the road. This is especially true in New Zealand's countryside. That didn't stop my kids and I from spotting nine different ones on our journey to Hamilton over the weekend! By an uncanny coincidence, we happen to leave home at just the right moment to see not just one, but two...
Dear Reader, Have you caught yourself using the words "I should" or "I have to" since reading the last Commander's Report? Is it dawning on you, even just a little, how much of your day seems preordained by outside forces, and how much room there is for you to take more command of your life? Coming to this awareness is a potent accelerator. Regardless of what you might think, realizing that you don't always feel like the captain of your own ship is a wonderful thing. The reason is very...
