Launching Your Big Vision

I’m in the throes of planning the pre-launch party for my physical business, Bliss Studio, 6 weeks from now. The gazillion ideas that I’ve had for the past 5 years are all clamoring for their day at camp.
                               

I’m using this summer as a time to test out my vision of an urban energy oasis, right here in Newark, NJ. I’ve envisioned creating a center for health, culture and creativity for some time now. I think the initial idea may have started off as a wellness center when I first did the ‘Finding Your Mission in Life’ workshop at Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research and Enlightenment, in Virginia Beach in the early-90′s. I’m still a life time member! I’ve traveled a winding road since then, and yet here I still am with a deep yearning to host a space where your natural bliss unravels itself throughout your being.

I’ve had my own business before. I co-owned a World Gym with my brother, Gil, for 13 years. Though ownership and personal training brought me great experiences and joy it was not the ‘full monty Adela.’ There were loads of places, just like when I managed technology in corporate America, where I was holding out, morphing myself into what I thought others wanted to see as me. That Adela was blasted to smithereens in Pune, India 2003, when I did ‘Intensive Satsang’ with Dolano. There have been periods of peak transformations and tremendous discomfort, it hasn’t always been easy to unhook the claws of conformity. AND . . . your BIG vision will always push you beyond the edge of what you’ve thought is possible.

This summer I’ll be hosting book signings, art shows, Body Bliss classes, latin dance classes, coaching groups, cooking classes, advanced energy trainings, yoga classes, acting workshops, garden parties . . . you get the picture. I’m connecting with fabulous adventurers who are up for delightful and powerful play.

So where is YOUR ‘big vision?’ Is it in percolation? Are you engaging it? Relating to it? Are you breathing life into it? It’s not like all of a sudden you find yourself in Oz, folks!

Your big vision is a stream of YOU that is uniquely partnered with your energy, your being, your life. You might have noticed it’s subtle touch, or it might pull you into its powerful swirl like a tsunami. It has always been with you, it IS here right now. Do you feel it? Do you sense it? Does IT KNOW YOU? Open to it fully, right here and now. Capture it on paper, in a conversation with a partner, on a vision board, on a mindmap.

All you have to do is start with one stream, one ripple, that’s all it takes. Just initiate the wave of creation into being and NOTICE how it shows up in your world. Name it! Acknowledge it! Own it! It’s your stage. Take the lead.
