We are wrapping things up here in Japan.  It’s been a truly life-changing experience for Datta and I.

We knew we’d love exploring a new country, and teaching Art of Feminine Presence and Authentic Speaking, but we weren’t prepared for what we learned from our Japanese “sisters” who attended the training.

These women were so tender, so angelic, so open, so committed, and so willing to do what it takes to change their lives, that it was almost beyond belief.  I had always heard about the Japanese work ethic but was surprised and inspired to witness how that affected their approach to their “spiritual work.”

Many of them are going through tough times but we did not hear once any “victim talk.”

We would teach them an energetic practice and then during the tea break we’d catch most of them practicing with each other.

I’m going to pick on us “spiritually-centered” Westerners for a moment.  Many of us are “stuck in drama,” and “over-processing,” and less committed to hourly and daily practice and hard work.

We need to be careful that we don’t get stuck in the “Spiritual Deep End,” thinking we are doing good spiritual work, but are not radically making our lives, relationships, and careers more functional and more fulfilling.

This week’s Awaken TV episode comes with an important warning.  If you feel like things aren’t changing fast enough for you, this is one to watch.

Thanks to everyone who has been following us on Facebook  and leaving supportive comments about our events.  We have felt the love for sure!

Much love,
