Online Conscious Communication gathering

We invite you to join our online Conscious Communication webmeeting for a MIND expansive hour on how creating Conscious WORDs will Liberate Your Life Through Your Language. The concept at first may seem quite trivial, but my experiences as a licensed health practitioner/instructor of 14 years coupled with research. I have discovered others also sharing in the fields of selective languaging, such as: Neuro Linguistic Practitioners Guild of hypnotists Yoga instructors All are trained in the power of the spoken word and yet participating in events throughout New England I have discovered there is still much attention needed to continue integrating the process of refining our Language. Robert Tennyson Stevens author of the book Conscious Language The Logos of Now writes (paraphrased) "We are to begin utilizing Language to describe what IS in our lives, not what isn't" I have found myself to be the master of the NOTs: NOT good enough NOT rich enough NOT good looking enough NOT (fill in the blank) I have tied up my life in NOTs... How do I change this is by focusing on what IS in my life. Gratitude is a start, but this is just the beginning. We must find WORDs in our vocabulary that distract our intention as conscious beings and transform them into CONSCIOUS WORDS. Here's an example: The word DON'T originally contrived as "Do Not", This antiquated use of our language creates the energy of put one foot on the brake and the other on the gas. The word DON'T is to be dissolved from our vocabulary. Create a CONSCIOUS WORD For D.O.N.'T. Declaring Opposites Narrates Tension Everytime I speak the word DON'T I have invited tension into my experience, and most likely reactivated a line of memories also associated with the word DON'T. Once we recognize WORDs have the ability to create tension and resistance in our lives we can explore for ourselves alternative words and phrases that are solution oriented, give us focus, inspiration and achieve what we desire in our lives. Please join me every month where we can explore how common words you choose to utilize are creating resistance in your life, and in most cases you are unconscious to this default behavior. Make the choice of committing to a path of least resistance and become a Conscious Communicator to Liberate Your Life Through Your Language.

Gorgeous Vistas, Picnic, & An Old New England Treasure

This park has to be one of New England's best kept secrets! The views are spectacular on a good day! It's an easy to moderate hike with absolutely breath taking views! Later, we can go into downtown ROCKPORT to walk Bearskin Neck..... Don't forget to bring your camera! MEETUP GROUP INFO: We will meetup at one of the picnic tables just outside the Visitor Center. Look for our meetup sign.* YOU NEED TO ENTER THE PARK TO GET TO THE VISITOR CENTER. There is a parking fee - $2- $3 I believe? If you have a MA State Park pass, it's FREE. * For anyone who is interested, we will be having a light pot luck picnic. Meetup time is 11:30 am. When we have our picnic will be decided on when we arrive. If you'd like to participate, please bring a light food item to share with our members... . Also, your own beverage. I will provide all paper, plastic etc. (and food item to share) **ALSO: for anyone interested, we will be heading into DOWNTOWN ROCKPORT later in the day to check out Bearskin Neck, the shops, etc. Parking in the downtown area can be very tight. It helps to carpool. Cars can be left in the State Park lot until dark. ABOUT:Halibut Point is a uniquely beautiful coastal seascape. Looking seaward on a clear day, the view stretches from Crane Beach in Ipswich to Mount Agamenticus in Maine and the Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire. Formerly the Babson Farm granite quarry, the park is managed for scenic, historic and conservation purposes by the DCR and the Trustees of Reservations. An adjacent property, Sea Rocks, is owned by the Town of Rockport and open for public use. Here you can explore the park's trails and tidepools, picnic on its rocky ledges, enjoy its sweeping views, and learn about Cape Ann's historic granite industry. *VISITOR CENTER: Located in a renovated World War II fire-control tower near the edge of the Babson Farm quarry, the center features exhibits related to the park's natural and cultural history. The 60-foot tall structure offers panoramic views that extend as far north as the coast of Maine. The building also serves as the park's administrative headquarters. HISTORY: Halibut Point itself is made of sheets of 440 million year-old granite that now descend from rocky headland to the tidal pools below. As a result of the shallow soil, constant exposure to onshore winds, and a history of frequent fires, the vegetation includes few trees. Catbriar, bayberry, blueberry, arrowwood, shadbush, and an assortment of wildflowers grow among the ledges. Each winter, many species of seabirds, including loons, grebes, ducks and an occasional puffin, feed in the rich offshore waters.Beginning in the 1840s, granite was quarried from this area, first on a small scale and primarily along the coast, and then on a much larger scale when the Rockport Granite Company acquired the Babson Farm quarry and expanded its operation. Shortly after the Cape Ann granite industry collapsed in 1929, 17 acres on the eastern side of the quarry were purchased and given to the Trustees of Reservations. The remainder of the area sat unused until late in World War II when a fire control tower (now the park's Visitors Center) was constructed to provide aiming information for the massive coastal defense guns that guarded Boston and Portsmouth Harbors.(DCR website)
