I recently had a beautiful friend of a friend create me a new logo. I have been contemplating for some time if I could sum up my work in one word, what would it be? I came up with wholeness. Together, with the image, we co-create the Art of Wholeness.
Just yesterday, I had a client on the table, and as she was lying there, she began to get deep in her cells, deep in her being, that there's nothing to fix. I agreed. I said that's what I've learned over the last 14 years. I see the wholeness in others and I see their hour bodywork session or coaching session as time allotted for remembering their true nature.
They may come in apologizing for the pieces of them they see as ugly or wrong or broken or apologize for saying too much or for crying or for being... human. My job is to reflect back to them their light, their wholeness, their divinity. I'm there to love them and remind them that it's okay to be them and that means I have to believe it's okay to be me.
This being human is a living art and the living art I love to create the most with my self and others is the Art of Wholeness.
The image I chose for my logo is an aerial view of the torus field. I have this piece of art iin my office - the first piece of art I spent a significant amount of money on. Every time I look at it, I'm in love. It dances, I swear it moves.
The torus field is a measurable field of electromagnetic energy that spans several feet beyond the borders of our body. When we are feeling whole, complete, loving, thankful and calm, this field is incredibly bold and beautiful. It's measurable, it's a real thing and everyone with a beating heart that produces electricity has one. No one is special enough to NOT have one.
I'm a scientist at heart. Ever since grade school when my biology teacher would take us outside to go to the creek, outside to collect leaves, come up with and create experiments to help us understand through experience about life, rather than just intellectual material alone, I knew I wanted to be involved with life in that way.
I love to learn and teach about how things work, the physiology (how things work) of the body, the bones and muscles, connective tissue and fluids. I love to teach my kids about the what and why of how things work. I love to understand and teach about the science of the heart, the emotions and geek out on the biofeedback technology where we can see measurable changes of our actions.
All that being said, in the spaces in between the intellectual explanations, life is really about art. Living a life well lived requires the other half of our brain, too, it requires both halves operating as a whole. It's about intuition, about sensing beyond just the 5 basic senses we're all familiar with. It's about managing our attention... which is totally, most definitely, an art.
It's about re-membering. It's about connecting. It's about embracing.
"Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe - a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we, with our modest powers, must feel humble." - Albert Einstein
This reflects Einstein's view that the beauty and order of the universe points to something greater than human comprehension.
There's mystery. There's art. And like all art and mystery, something is created out of nothing from an insight, from an idea, from a spark.
So in honor of this holy day season, this holi-day season, I'm committing to keeping my attention and energy on what it really means to be in union with a sense of health and wholeness as an art, living out the rest of the year with the spirit of the Art of Wholeness, and I invite you to receive these blessings as well if they are of interest to you.
If you'd like to receive 40 days of very short and sweet contemplations, insights, stories of inspirations, you can enter your Name and Email here or at the top of this page so that I only email those who are interested.
This begins Friday, 11/22, and will end on the last day of this year.
The Art of Wholeness is a gentle remembering - a return to the truth that you are already complete, you are not broken and there is nothing to fix, nothing to strive for and nowhere to get to. It's about embracing all of who you are, even the parts you've been taught to or learned to hide or change.
In this often stressful and loaded time of holy days (holidays), in a sea of chaotic societal pressures and false niceties, I invite you to join me for 40 days of the Art of Wholeness where each day I'll invite you to re-connect with your heart, connect with and ground into the wholeness that you already are, and align with the peace and ease that is beyond science, beyond the mind, and yet within each of us as a deep inner knowing.
You may have forgotten, but perhaps these next 40 days can help you remember, even just a little, bringing you closer to the real reason for the season.
It's free, it's fun, it's short and light-hearted, it's friendly and loving and it's meant for all of us here doing the best we can.
You can sign up in the form at the top of this page if you're interested.
Love,
Sarah
