a clear mirror in which we see our true self

Story over breakfast last week. <summary of what was told to me>

You know about the 2 new bridges in Tainan? They will change traffic flow in the western part of the city. A Tainan radio station reporter came to interview our group and hear how it would affect us. You know what? The conversation came to you. And you know what this other teacher told the reporter about you? He said ...

Liu ZhiLian is a clear mirror. When you look at this mirror you see yourself clearer than you've ever seen before.

tracking with the body to stay true to self

<situation - moved back to America 3 months ago from south Taiwan>

 ... I was adjusting to life in America, and for some reason it was hard for me to connect with <<a few key people>>. I think America is so disconnected from every experience I had while in Taiwan, parts of my life there felt like a dream and I wasn’t sure how to access those memories anymore.

Despite not staying connected digitally, I think about you almost every day and use the tools you gave me -- how to monitor myself and body to make sure I’m staying true to myself -- multiple times a day. I specifically feel my shoulder twitch when I have a profound thought or realization, a sign I take to mean I’m on the right path with my thought process or releasing energy I had stored up. It’s very interesting, and probably a monitor I’ll have for the rest of my life. 

But it is so easy to worry about how <life> will work out! I am trying hard to put my ego aside and just be accepting of whatever the universe wants to hand me, because I trust the universe has my best interests at heart. THAT is a great lesson, and a freeing one because when I’m in that good place of thinking I can let go of all my worry.

I have been writing journal entries, some addressed to you after your gracious proposal to take them, on this transition in my life. Through it all I am so grateful to have an avenue to connect with my body and heart, thanks to our time together. I would love to have a Skype date soon and chat, or even do a session.

First post

It's September 2, 2011 here in Tainan. It's come to this. I get these wonderful messages from people I've worked with. And, at the same time, I'm asked how I've helped others. I guess it's time to point the second group of people to the comments from the first. That's what this is for.

 Starting anything like this ... I have no energy to maintain this as a thing in itself. So, we'll see where it goes. If it goes. It's purely a structure where energy can be aimed, when energy shows up.

As with all else, I'm just watching the show.
