The Tree Leans

 The Tree Leans

The little tree leans because of some trauma in its very young life.

Like we humans, you are sensitive to outside pressure.

How was it?
What pushed you over?
What strength did you call for in your vulnerable young self to stay alive?

Is your strange angle away from the sun a disability?

I look deeper and wider.

You are fully alive!
Your leaves are as green and full as the others!
Your fruit as whole and sweet!

What do I learn from you?

What do you teach me?

Already, I feel the profound lessons of my own distortions.

How adversity has been my strength and determination has been my teacher.

--Betty Esthelle

Sunday, September 9th, 2007 From 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Integration of the Opposites
A Day with Betty Esthelle

Now is a special time for me to share some of the profound work that I have used and developed over the last 50 years. On Sunday, September 9, you will have an opportunity to use Body Enlightenment techniques for discovery. We will have a fun time using imagery, movement, drama and art to access hypnogogic imagery where our minds are available to creative new ideas and wisdom and we are open to receiving and understanding our own personal messages.
We will explore our elusive and often troublesome shadow. Why do we need a shadow side? What is it’s purpose? How can we use it?

ANNOUNCEMENT: I will soon be forming a group here in the Pacific Northwest to explore Body Enlightenment, the experiential, inspirational and ongoing process of personal communication and well-being. Body Enlightenment gently moves you into a deeper relationship with your own creative Self, and you will enter into a more free, life enhancing balance of your male and female energy. The wholistic and healing work of Body Enlightenment is physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological and educational.
