You can think of it as a support group for your happiness. You can think of it as a mastermind group, like the one mentioned in "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. You can think of it as an online community of people interested in inner growth and deeper meaning, where you can meet people and interact. You can think of it as a place to share that exciting idea you've been having, and as a place to get cheered on, or get constructive feedback! When responding to others' posts, here are three ideas: Affirm them (encourage them in their excellent decisions), question them (for your own curiosity, or to help them understand themselves or clarify), and offer your feedback as a gift they can easily choose not to take! I hope you enjoy sharing!

And please feel free to respond to any of the topics, such as today's: "What would you like to have mastery of, by the end of your life?" Remember, log into facebook and visit: http://www.facebook.com/laurenmarieowen#!/home.php?sk=group_115644031833691&ap=1
Thanks!

  1. Ok, here goes - my very first sharing with an on-line group. I think this is a fab. idea and timely. I am getting prepared to have a 4-way meeting with my "wasband" and his lawyer and my lawyer to see if we can clarify the terms of our separation agreement (although it feels like it'll be more about disagreement at this moment). I was noticing in my solar plexus the imprint of the cultural mindset or thoughtform of "win/lose" and didn't like feeling that there. Here, I've been married to this man who fathered a beautiful daughter (now 17) and our relationship is coming to a closing chapter. I want to do what is right and fair, and not become embattled in an emotional war. We are both healers, although still feeling some wounds. I'm hopeful we can navigate this legal process with the love of our daughter and respect for one another in mind, but I'm Aquarian (known for wanting to be friends with past partners) and he's Virgo (tends to be anxious and judgemental). I'm also an optimist and he's not. I keep using the Hawaiian practice of Ho'oponopono (Forgiveness/Love) to my worry and attack thoughts as well as toward his pain and attack thoughts, but I am concerned that I will really struggle to remain in that loving, expansive, compassionate place when he asks for spousal support or blames me for the ending, etc. I've been playing on-line backgammon for the past 2 years and it's evolved into it's own spiritual practice for me, where I practice seeing the other player not as an "opponent" but as a sparring partner who helps me refine my skills in visualizing what I want, asking for the number when I roll the dice and then letting it go to the universe for manifestation of what is in my highest interest. When the other person is equally good at this process the game is pure delight. And no matter who "wins" or "loses" I now find the game equally enjoyable. When I play with someone who is sort of mean-spirited and vindictive and being "bratty" in their strategy, I either end the game, or now challenge myself to stay focused, in my center and detached from results. I practice gratitude for what ever roll I receive and when the other player receives the roll I've envisioned (like double 6's) - I express gratitude for the manifestation, and learn that I've probably held too tightly to my desire and learn to let go a little more.
    Have I lost you? Well, it occured to me that I have been practicing the skills I"ll need for this legal situation on-line for the past 2 years and maybe I can mine it for insights of how to be with my wasband! What do you think?
    I'd appreciate anything you can recommend for helping me to situate myself within the center of my Heart and trust the Divine to work out the details of this human play. Aloha!
