<\/a><\/p>\nIt happened to me about 11 years ago and I’m sharing this story today to show you how you can go from terrified to terrific using a few energy tips.<\/p>\n
The back story:<\/strong>\u00a0 I was attending a leadership training workshop in California.\u00a0 Think the Landmark Forum on steroids.\u00a0 If you\u2019re not familiar with Landmark, imagine the toughest athletic coaches you\u2019ve ever seen. \u00a0They\u2019re in your face screaming and you better not back down. There were a couple hundred people in the workshop.\u00a0 We broke into groups of 8 including one coach.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t know the people personally in this small group but we had been together in vulnerable ways for the past two days.\u00a0 The instructions were for each of us to get up and sing<\/i> a story to the group.<\/p>\n Seriously?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n Sing?<\/strong> Are they nuts?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n There were specifics about the kind of story we needed to tell and we had to come up with it instantly.\u00a0 Fatefully, I was chosen first.\u00a0 My mind was racing, I had no time to prepare or any idea what to say\u2026let alone SING.\u00a0 (I am not a trained singer).\u00a0 I froze and trembled at the same time.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t want to fail, to be embarrassed.\u00a0 I wanted to run.\u00a0 I stalled and said I wasn\u2019t ready, someone else needed to go first.\u00a0 The coach looked at me and said, \u201cNo you need to go now\u201d.\u00a0 At least a hundred thoughts were racing through my mind, what to say, how to sing, I was truly freaking out.\u00a0 I wanted to run out of the room and sob.<\/p>\n I closed my eyes to focus and \u00a0heard a little voice inside me say, \u201cYou need to shift; you need to shift your energy right now\u201d.\u00a0 I took a deep breath and consciously brought my energy into my body.\u00a0 I grounded myself then pulled more energy in from the unlimited Source and focused on opening my heart.\u00a0 The energy poured into me and I could feel my heart expanding\u2026pushing the fear away.\u00a0 I opened my eyes.\u00a0 The people in front of me no longer felt like strangers.\u00a0 All I could feel for them was love.\u00a0 I opened my mouth and from seemingly nowhere, a beautiful story in the form of song poured out of me.\u00a0 The melody was beautiful; my voice almost angelic.\u00a0 Tears pooled in the eyes of a few in our group.\u00a0 They could feel my authentic love.\u00a0 I not only survived it but learned a valuable lesson.<\/p>\n So what happened…and how can you experience this kind of shift too?<\/strong><\/p>\n Often when faced with fear, we energetically leave our body.\u00a0 Our energy is floating up around our head hanging on by a thread.\u00a0 We aren\u2019t \u201cembodied\u201d and are vulnerable in many ways. \u00a0When you consciously call your energy back into your body it brings the power of that energy with it.\u00a0 Now secure that power to the earth by grounding your energy and you have become a force to reckon with.\u00a0 The third technique I used was to open and receive energy from the unlimited Source. This allowed me to open my heart (which had been closed down by the fear) and expand my heart energy. If you’ve read about the power of the heart, you know that intuitive information comes to us through the heart first, not the brain.\u00a0 By shifting my energy and opening my heart I allowed the creative flow to come through my heart and out my mouth essentially bypassing my brain.<\/p>\n You can do this too.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n We all have this capacity.<\/strong><\/p>\n
