August Tidbits: Taking the Leap

July’s Tidbits spoke to aligned action. I’m piggybacking off of that to discuss the Big Kahuna kind of action. The “Leap of Faith” sort of action that seldom shows up in our lives, but when it does, it’s usually surrounding a pivotal moment, or major life change. It is the kind of action that begs to be seen, heard and chosen. One that we know is aligned with our journey, one we know we want. But these leaps are way more intimidating than aligned action. They can seem almost impossible and contain numerous unknowns: The things that could go wrong, the “what ifs” and the “hows” are overwhelmingly loud and much easier to imagine than the ability to imagine it all actually working out for the best. (That’s why it’s called a leap of faith, guys)

If we were able to easily map out the next steps, the hows and the results for every stage of the choice, it would simply be another action. However, the leaps of faith are what propel us forward into a new stage of life, a new version of ourselves, or a new experience that we never could have imagined possible. Why? Because we can only see solutions and options from the perspective and life experience in which we currently reside. To put it simply: We don’t know what we don’t know.

So when we are faced with the idea of taking this BIG LEAP into all the unknowns that come along with it, a few things tend to happen: we stay spinning in the same fear based thoughts, actions and circumstances, or, we rationalize our way out of it, convincing ourselves that it’s too risky and irresponsible. This paralyzes us from doing anything at all. What is the worst part of that?

WE. STAY. THE. SAME.

Our circumstances stay the same. Our lives stay the same. Our belief of what is possible stays the same- all because we chose NOT to challenge it. Sure, maybe we can make some small shifts happen and some pieces of life change form slightly, but if we ignore the LEAP that is asked of us, we ignore the potential for growth, expansion, evolution, wisdom, deeper connection and a new sense of freedom.

This is exactly why we are given the opportunity to leap. To open the gates of all the potential listed above, to expand what we know to be possible in life. It allows us to practice a new level of trust in ourselves, our ability, God, and Life!

Here’s what one client has to say after their free session:

“My BMS coaching session with Ashley was deeply insightful. Through breath and movement, she helped me get out of my head which allowed us to uncover the underlying cause of what I had come to the session to explore further. I wouldn't have made such a quick connection to the root cause on my own. I left with real clarity and clear actionable next steps. I'm excited to keep the momentum going with more sessions!”

Recent Reiki Testimonial:

“I really wasn’t sure what to expect from my first Reiki treatment, but Ashley immediately made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely at ease.

Following months of debilitating pain and sleepless nights from severe carpal tunnel syndrome, I was ready to try something new. Immediately following our session I noticed a deep sense of relaxation, peace, and reduced pain, but the real win came that evening when I was able to sleep through the night, and I hadn’t slept through the night in months.

Ashley has a calming presence and creates a peaceful environment where you can truly let go of stress and allow your body to heal. Whether you’re looking for pain relief, relaxation, or simply a chance to reset, I highly recommend giving her Reiki sessions a try. I’m exceptionally grateful for her and will definitely be back.”
