Have you ever really listened to yourself? Do you listen to yourself as being open minded and objective? Do you notice that in most conversations you already know or you are right about an issue? Or is your mind always justifying or invalidating others?
Perhaps you are not aware that how we listen to ourselves and others is limited by filters from our pre-existing notions and ideas – by our upbringing, our values and past experiences.
In my experience, once I realized that I was listening to others from knowing everything and being right, I woke up and became aware that my life was not working.
I also became aware that I was not enjoying life because my mind was never quiet. I was always thinking about something in the past or dreaming about how someday in the future I would attain all my intentions and be happy.
I was not enjoying the present moment; therefore, my relationships, my business and my well being suffered. Then I learned to listen from a quiet mind. This allow me to be present and to experience others in way that was not possible in the past.
Today I can feel and see that whatever shows up in conversations with others (good or bad) is my creation. The result is that people, situations and my approach to life have altered in a way that allows me to experience happiness now and support others in being happy and fulfilled.
If you are ready to quiet your mind, have no stress and generate a new reality in 2009 join us Saturday, April 11, 2009 (in 9 days) at the Being Champion in Your Life Worksop. For details and to register click: http://www.bizchampions.com/HowWeDoIt/Workshop1.html

Standing Meditation - Chi Flow
Standing meditation with the correct posture is a profound and meaningful exercise that leaves you feeling energized, clear, quiet, focused, peaceful and balanced. Practicing standing meditation for fifteen minutes or more a day will contribute to your wellbeing and your ability to create and fulfill daily intentions with ease.
You will experience deep levels of relaxation, chi (energy, life force) flow, and release of stress. Standing meditation is simple to learn and very powerful. Roberto learned this technique from his friend and Tai Chi Coach Paul Viera and from Chen Xiao Wang, one of China's Great Masters and a direct descendant of the legendary creator of Tai Chi, General Chen Wangting.
In all BizChampions programs you will be grounded in Standing Meditation to connect to the powerful feeling of Being Champion. This alignment helps bring forth creation and the accelerated fulfillment of intentions. Individuals, business owners, and executives who consistently act from this possibility leap from the familiar to the unknown, and produce extraordinary results.
Please find a link to learn the Standing Meditation posture. We recommend that you hire a Being Champion coach or attend our next BC Workshop on August 11, 2009 to elevate your experience.

3-12-09 Shifting Your Reality in 2009
We all are living in a time of major transition and the question that I ask my clients and friends is not what the government can do for you but what path are you willing to take to bring lasting change for yourself, family and business?
While you and I both know that carving a new path is difficult, the good news is that there is a way to let go of the past and create a new reality now if you are committed and willing to step into the unknown.
As we create a world in where there is joy, peace and success for everyone, you can dissipate discouragement by looking at where you are out of integrity, inventing a new vision that is real now, creating a new game in life or business and playing that game coming from light rather than darkness.

Are You Aware of Your Current Reality?
Below you will find a simple evaluation form that will support you in being aware of your Current Reality in different areas of your life.
These areas include career, environment (automobile and home), family, finances, friends, fun and recreation, intimate relationships, spirituality, well-being (physical and mental) and your overall life experience.
Try to avoid conscious thoughts. Instead, take a few minutes and evaluate yourself in each area by noticing your feelings instead of your thoughts about where you are. By thinking, you evaluate yourself from a past reality versus the present moment.
You will notice different feelings that come out of where you choose yourself to be in each area of your life. Before you can shift your current reality, you must clean up any misalignments (or out of integrities) that you are holding. In other words, you must face the brutal facts of your current reality and deal with them.
The intention of this process is for you to be complete and OK with where you are in any area of your life. Once you let go, there is a whole new realm of possibilities available from which to create.
You are now ready to create a new vision for your life that is real for you now. We will cover creating a new personal vision in our next newsletter.
Until next time, please notice the feelings that you are experiencing by being in integrity and in how life is working for you and all those around you.

Are You in Integrity?
Is life working for you? Are there areas in your life that are good and yet you would like to make them better? Are there areas in your life that are not working?
Looking at where you are not in integrity and where you are not being honest with yourself could possibly make a difference in what you are up to in your life.
Bringing up the areas of your life that are out of integrity allows you to address those areas and provides the freedom to have your desires fulfilled. By being clear and in integrity, you will find yourself with fun and ease, creating and fulfilling intentions in areas of your life that you consider important.
Below are two simple techniques to bring you back into integrity and have you feeling complete and powerful:
1) Complete Integrity Diary
Set aside 30 minutes to complete the process. Be honest and real and ask yourself:
a) With whom have I not kept my promises and commitments?
b) Where have I gone against my values and standards?
c) When am I not being who I say I am?
When: Yesterday? Last Week? Last Year? Last X Years?Where: Family, Business, Relationships, Well Being, Spirituality.
Write down whatever feelings or thoughts come into your mind for each of the above questions.
2) Standing Meditation
Get into correct standing meditation posture. If you have not learned standing meditation, you can do the following technique sitting down.
You can also review the standing meditation technique in the following article:
http://www.bizchampions.com/StandingMeditation.html
Relax, quiet down, scan your head, neck, shoulders, spine, hips, down your legs, and then back up. Notice any tightness, pain, thoughts, and judgments that you are feeling from doing the Integrity Diary.
Hold your attention on your body until you release the negative charges that you are experiencing. Do this process for at least 5 minutes.
You will be ready to create new intentions once you feel relaxed, clear, flowing and at ease with your integrity.
Until next time, please notice the feelings that you are experiencing by being in integrity and by how life is working for you and all those around you.

Group Breathwork by Sula de Paula
One of the main challenges to health, well-being and happiness facing most of us today seems to be unmanaged stress caused by unacknowledged and unprocessed feelings.
BC Breathing (also referred as Holistic Breathwork or Rebirthing) is a technique to help us release emotional and physical tension while supporting our intention to heal and allowing us to improve health and vitality.
Through a deep connected breath for about an hour, our body releases stress and tension and facilitates the access and release of old patterns in a gentle and safe way.
Some of the benefits of Breathwork include an increase in the level of physical and spiritual energy in our body and a greater ability to be more conscious, aware and present.
To learn more about Sula and Rebirthing Breathwork go to www.revelationbreathing.com

What's Your Inspiration by Jeff Zbar
My friend and business champion, Jim Blasingame of the Small Business Advocate radio show, sent an ezine this week discussing the link between one's spirit and their success.
By opening our hearts to discovery, Jim wrote, people explore beyond the bounds of their comfort barriers in the pursuit of growth - and all the challenges and opportunities it can bring.
That same morning, BizChampions coach Roberto Suarez wrote seven simple words in his "Weekly Intention" inspirational message to subscribers: "Notice your spiritual, mental and physical charm..."
I spoke last week to a group of home-based travel agents, closing with the concept of how a mantra can help boost one's spirit and enthusiasm when working from the confines of the solo environment. I offered two: The Desiderata (you know: "Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there is in silence..."). The second was from Henry David Thoreau, and it has hung on my office wall for the better part of a decade: "The really efficient laborer will be found not to crowd his day with work, but will saunter to his task surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure."
Each day - especially those when challenges rise to confront us and make us question why we've chosen our paths, we must find solace in the comfort of something calming, soothing and poignant.
It can be a walk to clear the mind, smooth music on iTunes, or some other respite. To me, these inspirationals - or mantras - help serve as guide posts along the frenetic path of work and life. What are yours?
