Rachel just posted under Order and Chaos, her list of 25 verbs.  They are wonderful.

Lea has also shared her process with the verbs on her blog.
http://lealabyrinth.typepad.com/tales_from_the_labyrinth/2008/01/ninth-2008-holy.html

I encourage everyone to post their verbs.  Inspire each other!

These are verbs that work with chaos and renew creativity.

Here are mine.

Sink
Flutter
Linger
Sculpt
Grunt
Rhyme
Write
Dig
Delete
Leap
Frame
Skip
Metabolize
Neutralize
Exaggerate
Deflate
Systematize
Tap
Polarize
Pray
Drink
Shine
Suggest
Surrender
Resist

Revisit your verbs.  Add new verbs to your cauldron of possibility. 

Party Time

Bring some friends together for a chaos party.  Have a great Cauldron of verbs.  Have everyone write down an issue where they are stuck.  Then take turns choosing a verb.  Help each other work with the verb to discover a possibility.  Everyone can choose up to three verbs, but only one at a time.

Enjoy. 

Lynn

Tell us your insights about your polarities.  And please think of questions or exercises for us.

There will be an energetic adjustment.  We have had this wonderful time of working together.  We have formed a worldwide community of daily activity.  Now that changes. You may feel a bit lost without a new message every day.

I know I will feel a loss (and a relief) at not having to write a message everyday. I have loved working with all of you.  A number of mornings during Inner Christmas, I woke without any idea what I would be writing but I knew the inspiration would come. 

This has been the first year with a blog.  I am so grateful for your postings. Let's stay connected throughout the year.

Warm blessing and joyful epiphanies to you all,
Lynn

I have received a number of private emails about the messages.  Many have been expressions of gratitude.  Others have asked for help.  A few have been complaints.

One woman wrote that the movie was beautiful but the messages were disappointing as I seem to be "hooked on polarities."  Yes, I am hooked on polarities this year. 

The soul is the realm of polarities.  Inner Christmas is a time of deep soul work.  We only worked with twelve - tomorrow for Epiphany I am going to offer a thirteenth. 

Imagine if the first year of university - we studied polarities. Life would make a lot more sense if we immersed our studies in polarities for a year.

This blog will remain up for the year, so please keep visiting and posting.

Undoubtedly yours,
Lynn

And it is also a passion for each of us.  We share our thoughts and our visions. 

Bless us one and all,
Lynn

I often encourage my clients to take ballroom dancing  classes.  The more we understand leading and following the more successful we are in all areas of living.

But I also suggest they study kick-boxing.  Kick-boxing teaches us how to defend our boundaries.  It releases energy. It offers a sense of safety.

Both kick-boxing and ballroom teach us how to be social beings. 

Looking forward to all your comments.  I wish I had the time to respond to each one.

Blessings to all,
Lynn

If I was to review my life it would certainly feel like there was more chaos than order.  But the beauty of aging is life sort of falls into place.  Order, divine destiny, appears to underlie all chaos.  Or maybe we realize that Primal Chaos is the mother of Divine Destiny.  Does it matter.

I lead workshops that explore mysterious patterns and themes revealed in our personal biographies.  These workshops are my favorite because the participants come to love each other so deeply as they embrace the order and the chaos of each others lives.

Our comments allow us to gather together and and spread our loving thoughts out to everyone sharing Inner Christmas.

I wish everyone a meaningful 2008.
May your thoughts be true, your feelings beautiful and your deeds good.

Here is one process to follow:
Go over the list.  You might even make a copy that you can cut apart each desire into a single strip of paper. Organize the desires into similar groups. 

Then for each group write down a list of basic statements regarding "how" you will fulfill them.

Choose 1-10 desires from the one hundred.  For these write specific "how" statements including who will help and timing. 

Look at your daily life, what needs to change to achieve fulfillment of any one of these desires. 

Are you willing to change your life and take the actions needed to fulfill this desire?

If you are willing - START NOW!

She reflects everyday on giving unconditional love to all those little souls - what a life. And she lights up with joy every time she anticipates holding a newborn once again. 

Keep the comments coming.  If you are just reading the comments - enjoy.

The bathroom got nice and steamy, my skin turned red and I perspired.  Then I got out of the tub and wrapped up in a towel.  All I wanted was to cool down, but the relative coldness of the air was almost painful. 

Because I had been meditating on Warming and Cooling, my awareness was much more acute and delicate.

So I invite you to write your comment and take a bath.

One more share...When I told my daughter about tonight's polarity, she said, "Cool, Mom!"  I realized her response had to do with feeling warmth for the topic!

Be cool and stay warm,
Lynn

Hearing somebody's voice adds an intimacy that is not found in the written word.  I wish I could hear all of you speak your comments.  Maybe next year we will have that capability. 

My mailing service Aweber.com can generate reports that show maps of world with markers for the locations of subscribers.  I just discovered this yesterday. 

Today someone subscribed from Cyprus.

Again, thank you for your comments.  Each one is so touching and inspiring. 

Much love,
Lynn

Imagine the cross of the vertical and the horizontal poles dividing the circle. We have moved into the second quarter of the circle of twelve.

I love the way community is forming here on the blog.  I would love to jump in a respond to all of your comments, but my participation is to write the messages. 

Here are some stats on the community.  Most of us are from the States, Canada, UK and Australia.  But there is a growing group from the Netherlands.  Serbia and Norway are also growing in numbers.  Then there is India, Spain, the Philippines, Bulgaria, and many other countries.  All of us celebrating Inner Christmas together!

Love to all of you.

It's late.  I had a long day with clients, lunch with a close, close friend who moved away in place but not in spirit.  Then I went and heard my son, Luc, give a beautiful Holy Nights' presentation on prayer!

In between, my thoughts kept working with movement and stillness. 

Thanks so much for all your comments.  They are a blanket of love and encouragement for all of us practicing Inner Christmas.

Sweet Dreams,
Lynn

There is a comment by Lea.  I urge you to visit her blog.  She shares wonderful Inner Christmas work.

Writing about desire and fulfillment was amazing...I discovered so much.  I could have kept writing - but the messages must be brief. 

I hope my thoughts inspire more thoughts in you.

Did you have a great Christmas?  My kids were with me. food and gifts were simple and good.  Lots of love.  A day of joyous intimacy and fulfillment.

Lynn
