Building from Within
Into something rich and strange?

As you know from today I have moved my practice back to where I used to work previously. Although then I ran the practice and well as working as an osteopath.
Mercifully, now I only have to work as an osteopath.

I don’t know what is happening in the stars this week but my yoga class has ended, my life coaching classes have ended and where I have worked for six years has ended. As a side note my late mother’s flat finally completed this month, only took 1 year, four buyers and a global outage when the money was due to be transferred. I think mum was having a laugh!
I have been trying to ‘see’ what life is going to look like from now; I am working less and I also want to integrate the life coaching into my work. 

At the moment I cannot see a shape. 

Now this could be really disconcerting, but oddly enough it isn’t. 

I don’t know whether it is maturity, or lessons learnt from the coaching, or the fact I have moved my practice before. But I simply cannot worry about it. In fact the over riding feeling is peaceful floating. 
I have loved working with Sam and Mags and I am sorry that this has come to an end. But we will still co-ordinate on projects and also meet socially.
The new practice owners Jon and Sara are delightful, easy going and a joy to be with. The practice is beautiful and familiar, there are a couple of technical hitches (no internet until next week!) but nothing insurmountable. I get to walk across John Coles park twice a day which will be delicious.
I am also looking forward to having more time and seeing what emerges from that.
With regards to the coaching I have some hoops to jump through to certify but that is all in hand; I am looking forward to seeing how I take it forward.
What I am not doing is mentally building an empire and working like crazy to make it work.
What I am doing feels much quieter and more organic, more rooted in how I’m feeling. Letting my inner compass and wisdom take me forward, rather than working from the outside in. It’s slower, calmer and a lot more comfortable. I also have the basic structures in place; I know what I need to do to transfer my practice, I have my osteopathic skills and the newly acquired coaching skills. I am going to continue with the osteopathy, settle into my new routine and see what happens next.
Martha Beck (whose course I’ve just completed) is a great believer in curiosity, be curious, stay curious. I have no idea what life is going to be, but maintaining a flexible curious approach aligned with recognising what I truly want will help me to safely navigate my course. Who knows what I will build? 

Hopefully something unique, rich and strange.
