Over the last year or so of earnestly clearing clutter from my home, I’ve learned a few things. The most recent came as a revelation of what should have been obvious to me all along: clearing clutter is a skill, not an inborn talent or trait. It’s something everyone can learn, if they really want to. The skills of clearing clutter are not what I expected, though. I expected to learn how to neatly stack things on shelves, and how to get organized, as well as how to get rid of clearly useless things. Yes I am learning these expected things, but I have learned much deeper, and much more powerful skills. I’ll briefly share them here – you can read more explanation in the full article.

I was thrilled to see that Rachael Jayne Groover has released her book, Powerful and Feminine – How to Increase Your Magnetic Presence and Attract the Attention You Want.

If you’ve followed my blog, you will remember that I posted a link to a video from Rachael Jayne Groover, founder of The Yin Project, as she discusses and teaches women how to increase their sense of attractive presence. (Link to the blog post – Increasing Your Feminine Radiance and Power).

The last few days, the weather has been cold, grey, rainy, with a fierce and unrelenting wind. From the window, the lawn seems mysterious and darkly romantic, much like a Daphne du Maurier novel.

This Chinese girl plays beautiful piano music – in spite of missing the fingers on one hand. Why did it move me so deeply? Perhaps because the girl is beautiful and graceful, her hair in cascades down her back and her dress a creation perhaps from a fairy tale. Perhaps because the music is lovely and played with the kind of feeling that makes you close your eyes, smile, and simply listen, each note resonating somewhere deep inside.

I think, though, that I was especially moved because it felt like a personal message.

Some women just seem to have an attractive presence about them. They have an inner beauty that radiates out and you can feel their loving nature just by being in the same room with them. They move with a quiet confidence and power that demands respect and attention, yet all the while stay with their lovely feminine nature.

We can learn to have this sense of feminine confidence and radiant beauty. I’ve just watched another of Rachael Jayne Groover’s videos and I am using her tips already.

I’m not sure when it started, this secret longing to take a dancing class. When I found a local class, Hearts in Motion, that started with Nia dance and ended with yoga, I stayed on the sidelines and just thought about it for months. I think it was the thought that I could dance and just have fun while connecting with body and mind energy that made me sign up. I haven’t regretted one minute of it. I love it! Nia combines martial arts, yoga, healing arts, and dance arts. As we dance, we move from samari warrior-type stances, to sensual hip rotations, to ball-room dance type foot movements, to holding and releasing energy movements, and many movements in between that I can’t even define.

Maybe it’s a feminine thing – the deep, inspired love for creating beauty.

A single pink rose blossoming amidst the fall leaves. A baby concentrating hard on pulling herself to a full stand. I’ve learned that these [...]
