'A Course In Mastery'






 The First Agreement:    Be Impeccable With Your Word.

I am taking Don Miguel  Ruiz's 'A Course In Mastery' right now. I will be in my third week come Tuesday. It's seven weeks in total. It is such an honor to be guided by Don Miguel Ruiz through this Course through a tele-class with people from around the World! I am inspired to keep pulling my energy into my own personal story that I am creating. Everyday I let myself get closer and closer to my core truth's. Inside my core I am finding my own presence as myself co-creating with everything in my field of vision. I am anticipating living authentically and paying my voice forward...just in case someone out there is interested in sharing their story...

I will be posting my next Four Agreements Workshop soon...I have been giving this workshop for about 5 years now and I am in the process of re producing my facilitation to an even deeper connection of the truth. For those taking the time to read my Blogs, I thank you for your comments and I look forward to motivating and inspiring you along the way of your personal story....

Sending love and light unto your Path ~ Namaste

Back into Alignment...

Hello Everyone!

I have had a speedy recovery from my TMJ surgery in February. I am so grateful for this because I can now step fully into my Life Coaching Business.

The past two weeks have been very busy. I am in the works with some fellow partners to introduce a MoMonday (Motivational Monday) in Niagara. This is a brand new speaking forum for everyday people to share their experiences and knowledge, ideas and feelings. I will keep you all posted for the launch date!...very exciting stuff. I already have my first speaking engagement practiced at Toast Masters, where I am an international member. I am so looking forward to MoMondays.

I also have posted on Kijiji my up coming workshops. I have had four different workshops since the new year. I traveled to the Toronto area last week to give a Happy Box workshop.

I also have my Laughing workshop coming up next week at the St Catharines Kiwanis Aquatic Center, at 425 Calton St. The Lawrence Room on the 27th of March, from 7 til 9pm.

The spaces are almost full...please send me an email if your planning to attend this event. You can also look it up on Kijiji under Laughing Workshop, St. Catharines. My email is charlene@mind-fullife.ca.

Keeping you up to date with my next ambition...I am enrolled in a course with Don Miguel Ruiz (The Four Agreements), It is a seven week course that I began last week and it was fantastic! I am very much in the moment with acquiring all the best skills I can use to be a great facilitator of the Four Agreements.

The Fifth Agreement Workshop dates will soon be updated to this website.

Just a final note; I am learning social media at this time, and I am working diligently to create a website that offers my visitors the best experience of my talents in being a Certified Life Transitions Coach. Please visit my site again soon to view the fresh new changes...

Remember: You Can Live Mindfully; is all about tuning into this moment, so you can be the constant observer of your thoughts; so that you may always bring balance into your being ~ Namaste

Welcome to February  ~ The month of Love xox

Because there has been so much feedback and interest of this couples workshop, in the month of March, there will be an evening workshop, so daytime working couples may attend. I will post the date for the couples evening workshop to this blog shortly. And you can watch for my updated ad on Kijiji.

Just a note: I will be on a short hiatus for the rest of the month of February. I am going to be recovering from TMJ surgery.

In the meantime though, this will give me an opportunity to post some interesting
and insightful blogs.

For today: Thoughts of being Courageous

Having glimpsed the truth, I hold on to it, undaunted by what I must do. Necessity makes me fearless. Risks challenge and deepen my maturity. I come straight from the heart, daring to be who I really am in the thousand challenges from birth to death. The rollercoaster of life thrills me and fills me with spontaneity and the urge to follow my passion...

Projected Life Time Capsule

Hello Everyone!  Well and I mean a big WELL, have I ever been busy creating and zesting up my days as a Life Transitions Coach. Some new workshops are out there in the community. I have a new venue where I can offer them to a bigger group. There are three dates in February and they are three different workshops.
These workshops are being held in The Lawrence Room at our New St. Catharines Kiwanis Aqua Centre.
The cost of the workshops are very affordable and accommodate motivating people in the direction of their chosen goals and dreams.

Workshop Number One: February 1st  1-3 pm
To register click link below:

http://mindfullife.homestead.com/communityworkshop.html

 The first workshop is 'Make your own life projected time capsule' Here we go....in the direction of creating pictures of your own personal story. You paste your selected pictures of your projected  pictures onto and inside your time capsule (a sturdy shoe box) ...and voila, you have your own Story-board! Then watch how what you projected comes to pass for you. Its amazing when pictures that you pasted start showing up in your life in unexpected ways.
I have witnessed so many people come to life while creating their own story-boards. It is quite a boost in energy and enthusiasm not to mention the ripple effect every single person leaves the workshop with.
If your interested in this kind of positive visualization of creating your own life projected time capsule, please  to the register address. You will come to my landing page for this workshop and you can sign up there.

I know there is alot to take in with planning your own projected time capsule. Just hearing about what you can do with this one workshop, I know I've got you thinking....

I'll post back in a bit to share more upcoming workshops!

Like-mindedness in 2013!

Hello to all and everyone:

I am very much looking forward to 2013! I have made some good first impressions over the past year that are coming to fruition in 2013. It feels very good to look forward to creating more and more in my Coaching Transitions business. I love the challenge of finding the right clients to click with. I enjoy the process of connecting with like minded people. There is a connection in like mindedness. Arriving on the same page with someone. This gives harmony to the spirit and a lift to an average day. It is fun mapping things out with those that are ready to add more to an already planned schedule.

Routines are there to keep us aligned on our path with our personal goals. The purpose for routines creates openings for change to occur. When we are aware of the process of timing our goals around routines, we allow for new opportunities to surface. Echart Tolle guides us to planning out our future; but says to come back to the present moment and live it out from here, now. I find as I keep my organizational skills refined every thing else falls into place as it's meant to.

I am ready to plan more into my already mapped out goals. I am looking for good outcomes because as I take each step forward and activate my inspirations, I create more good for myself. Its also quite a joy to see how this ripples out into my daily experiences.

This year I am challenged to say hello to strangers walking down the street. I will be fearless in being the one to spark up that new conversation. I plan on smiling lots and looking people in the eye and wishing them a great day!.I plan on showing up in my little corner and spreading myself out and out to the world around me.
I have speeches and leadership projects planned through my membership at Toastmasters International. I have workshops planned and ready to facilitate starting January! *Anyone interested...look in coming events on my website.I am planning to travel in the spring to a spa and pamper my inner being.

If we happen to have  met along the way throughout this coming year and your finding my site for the first time, please feel free to give me a call or an email. We can continue where we left off and create more of our positive connection.

What  I know for sure is that I can, and so it is!

Sending positive energy forces through all that I am, to all and everyone ~ Happy New Year !

Are You In or Are you Out?

Are you In or Are you Out?

Tis the Season to be Jolly!

Many of us can be challenged during this time of Christmas.
It will depend on what you are focusing on...

If its money and how much you do or don't have, then that is not a jolly feeling.
But, if you are focusing on the giving of your spirit, then you are in the right sense of it.

Your spirit of giving does not have to come from your wallet, it can come from your inner being...
That part of you that knows what true giving really is.
It comes from inside of your heart.

Giving can come from: supporting a lonely friend, donating blood, donating time to a needy cause, singing Christmas carols at someones front door, helping a friend decorate a Christmas tree, donating food in your own cupboard to a shelter...

Remember life is free.
Living can be expensive, but again, it has everything to do with perception of thought and feelings.

Have you ever given just because it felt good?
Maybe that is a selfish act, but ask the person you gave to, I am sure they are thankful...

Merry Christmas to all, enjoy the gift of giving of yourself, whatever that may be this holy holiday season...

The gift of love comes in many shapes, colors and sizes...never underestimate Gods Miracles...

Just be willing to receive what he brings...and be happy with it.

There in lies the challenge of giving and receiving...

A Brief Synapse of ‘The Four Agreements’


A Brief Synapse of  ‘The Four Agreements’
                       
By: Charlene Hancock

                             The Book Written By:  don Miguel Ruiz


The Four Agreements is based in the Ancient Toltec.

Thou    Thousands of years ago, the Toltec were known throughout southern Mexico as “women and men of knowledge”.
Aant     Anthropologists have spoken of Toltec as a nation or a race but, in fact, the Toltec were scientists and artists who formed a society to explore and conserve the spiritual knowledge and practices of the ancient ones. They came to together as Masters (Naguals) and students at Teotihuacan, the ancient city of the pyramids outside Mexico City known as the place where “Man becomes God”.
            Over the millenia, the Naguals were forced to conceal the ancestral wisdom and maintain its existence in obscurity. European conquest, coupled rampant misuse of personal power by a few of apprentices, made it necessary to shield the knowledge from those who were not prepared to use it wisely or who intentionally misuse it for personal gain.
Fortunately, the esoteric Toltec knowledge was embodied and passed on through generations by different lineages of Naguals. Though it remained veiled in secrecy for hundred of years, ancient prophecies foretold the coming of an age when it would be necessary to return the wisdom to the people. Now, don Miguel Ruiz, a Nagual from the Eagle Knight lineage, has been guided to share with us the powerful teachings of the Toltec.
            Toltec knowledge arises from the same essential unity of truths, and all the sacred esoteric traditions found around the world. Though it is not a religion, it honors all the spiritual masters who have taught on the earth. While it does embrace spirit, it is more accurately described as a way of life distinguished by the ready accessibility of happiness and love. 

(The above is copied from .xiii. in The Four Agreements Book)
 

Having read The Four Agreements, by: don Miguel Ruiz; I experienced a personal insight
and vision that included myself as a teacher, guide and facilitator of these Four Agreements. I anticipate how the universal energies will coinside with me to meet my dream. My goal is to bring this story to the communities. I am confident in my ability to facilitate these Four Agreements for those that are willing and ready. Their teachability should be high, as well as being willing to change their old pattern of thinking.
The workshop booklet is inclusive with facilitation of don Miguel Ruiz and his insights of the Toltec Message. As a Life Transitions Coach, I believe that all written materials that human kind has produced, have these threads of truth (The Four Agreements) indicated in the written material. I also sense the great need for the consciousness of humans to be woken out of its Smokey Mirror. To acquire and come to know more about the Smokey Mirror, one needs to connect with the book: The Four Agreements. When you allow the time to read this book, it will bring awareness to the happiness and love you’ve longed for. It truly guides you to create a way of life. Like one you haven’t lived before.

I am confident in saying that the insights of these Four Agreements awakens the inner knowing, for that is what it has done for me. In the booklet there is a page all about
Being the Observer. Learning to be the observer of my thinking has made me aware of my self-talk. Observing allowed for me to find my true nature. By realizing what it means to not take things personally, I became aware when I was assuming what another was thinking about me. I learned that we are all telepathic to a degree; we may very well know what is being projected in another’s thinking; about what they are thinking and feeling about me. I came to understand that even though I may know what another may be thinking, I still choose how I am going to react to it consciously. Coming to know that we all have our own story and that we all react from our personal experiences and core beliefs, compassion and understanding became my new behavioral reactions to people and situations.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 I feel that in my community there is a shift in awareness. People are becoming aware of what is taking place globally. The Four Agreements are a safe journey, created to simplify the human experience. There are stages in growth from not wanting anything to do with these Four Agreements, which is called “unconscious incompetence’*a human that is not awake and not aware of its unreasoning ego*. Coming into ‘conscious incompetence’, which relies on the human to realize what it has not known and to now take the course of action; and invite the change. The moment the human decides to be teachable and then be willing to change is the pinnacle of ‘conscious compentence’. Once the Four Agreements is learned, studied and understood, it becomes the individual being authentic; meaning, the individual is automatically functioning in society as being ‘unconscious competence’. Which means, once we are doing a thing automatically without thinking about it; therein is the witness of the shift of change and being ‘unconscious competence’. This is based in knowing without a doubt, and simplifying the reality of a spirit, living in the life of a human, and connecting with the process of healing and experiencing the freedom of being happy to be alive.


The Four Agreements came to my attention and got me started on balancing my innate nature. I have given intention to live within these new insights. Becoming active in studying and teaching them procurred for me my new repetitive behaviors. I have come to experience the Four Agreements from the uncounscious conscious level of being. These agreements have become my lifestyle.

In the experience of giving facilitated workshops on this Toltec Message, I have found that it expands to include all and anyone who is open to receiving the message herein.

Dear Friend;

Dear friend, my name is Charlene.
www.mind-fullife.ca

My vision is that each person that I connect with will create their own positive ripple effect of a Mindfully Lived Life. I am a certified Life Coach that builds people up and guides them through their emotional thinking process.

It has taken me many years of personal experience and education, reading, studying, and connecting within my community to become a Life Transition Coach. I have been where you are – sifting and sorting, doubting and afraid of the unknown, limiting my own potential.

Formally educated, graduated as well as self-taught, I've been an entrepreneur for over 30 years. Also a wife and mother of 3 children, I’ve been through many adventures in personal trauma, responsibility and business ownership. It all started at a time when I was drawn into the last position of work I vowed I would never be in - an Automotive Shop! The resistance of this predicament that I had placed myself in took many years to overcome but I held-fast my position at my front counter. During this time I gained the title of friend and even mentor with my customers that were waiting for their vehicles. I was good at listening and hearing with understanding their stories and they valued my strict confidentiality. They looked to me for insight and valued my perspective.

Through the accumulation of written materials, "The Power Of  Now" by Eckhart Tolle for example, I myself learned to Be Still. Be in the Moment. As I practiced this for many seasons, I realized I outgrew my little AutoSmart corner. I wanted to step out in MY world. I began creating my own Life Coaching Workshops. I started facilitating everything I read, eventually receiving my Coaching Certification. It is from this place of education and experience that I strive to walk with others through their own “Life Transition”. 

Throughout one of the many successful group Workshops or confidential One-on-One sessions, I will guide you to your higher state of self.  For those willing to explore their desire and look a little deeper into their own personal story I will provide a “holding of space”, a “listening ear”, and an insight into what is said behind your words. Through the discernment of your words, your body language, your tone, as well as your story I will present the correct questions that will reveal perspective and understanding as we work towards your solutions. All you need is a desire for your personal best.

I challenge you today to commit to a contract of love, dedication and the discipline of self-purpose to focus on your life goal(s) with the freedom from self-limiting thoughts. 

It is a Choice. It is a Solution. It is Life-Altering.

Please refer to the Events and Services pages to find out more about how I can be there for you.

Remember: There is no fear...there are only steps in the right direction!

Philisophically Speaking


Philosophy: It is an ancient Greek word that means; ‘the love of wisdom’. The first philosopher, Socrates, proclaimed, “the most important thing was to know thy self.”

If you are one who loves to learn and yearns to know thyself; come on out to
the philosophically speaking evenings – a series of walk-in workshops. The subject matter for the next 8 weeks will be facilitating the author Eckhart Tolle.

This philosophically speaking evening will open up new avenues of thought; carrying
you through to being in the moment. Eckhart Tolle has imparted to us as a national family his insights and wisdom. As we come together and listen and discuss his subject
matter there is a sense of connection and a shift in how one used to look at the world
of thought and form.

You are invited to an atmosphere of calm, serenity and visual delights. You can also expect a ‘meditation time-out’ through the process of this workshop. This gives space for all new Insights to settle into a new cellular memory.

The Topic for the first walk-in workshop will be ‘Stepping Outside of Thinking’.

The walk-in workshops run for about 2.5 hours; starting at 7pm.

All eight subject matters are posted on this website. Please email me or telephone me,
and I will be happy to give you my address. www.mind-fullife.ca

The date for this first walk-in workshop is September 20th, 2012.

These walk-in workshops work as a pay what you can system. There will be a bowl
at the front door table; just drop it in as you come through the door.

An Affirmative quote to live by:

We are guided daily by Divine Intelligence into paths of peace, wherein the soul recognizes its Source and meets It in Joyful union, in complete At-One-ment.
(The Science of Mind, page 331)
