10/12/08 - Chi Flow Power
This past week I participated in a Tai Chi seminar with Chen Xiao Wang, one of China's Great Masters and a direct descendant of the legendary creator of Tai Chi, General Chen Wangting.
He supported me in having proper alignment and correct posture in Standing Meditation as a way to experience more chi flow. The increase chi flow throughout my body provided me with more clarity, power and ease in practicing my Tai Chi forms.
Let me know how you are feeling. Notice if your chi is flowing and be aware of the increased clarity and power.

Group Breathwork by Sula de Paula
One of the main challenges to health, well-being and happiness facing most of us today seems to be unmanaged stress caused by unacknowledged and unprocessed feelings.
BC Breathing (also referred as Holistic Breathwork or Rebirthing) is a technique to help us release emotional and physical tension while supporting our intention to heal and allowing us to improve health and vitality.
Through a deep connected breath for about an hour, our body releases stress and tension and facilitates the access and release of old patterns in a gentle and safe way.
Some of the benefits of Breathwork include an increase in the level of physical and spiritual energy in our body and a greater ability to be more conscious, aware and present.

What's Your Inspiration by Jeff Zbar
My friend and business champion, Jim Blasingame of the Small Business Advocate radio show, sent an ezine this week discussing the link between one's spirit and their success.
By opening our hearts to discovery, Jim wrote, people explore beyond the bounds of their comfort barriers in the pursuit of growth - and all the challenges and opportunities it can bring.
That same morning, BizChampions coach Roberto Suarez wrote seven simple words in his "Weekly Intention" inspirational message to subscribers: "Notice your spiritual, mental and physical charm..."
I spoke last week to a group of home-based travel agents, closing with the concept of how a mantra can help boost one's spirit and enthusiasm when working from the confines of the solo environment. I offered two: The Desiderata (you know: "Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there is in silence..."). The second was from Henry David Thoreau, and it has hung on my office wall for the better part of a decade: "The really efficient laborer will be found not to crowd his day with work, but will saunter to his task surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure."
Each day - especially those when challenges rise to confront us and make us question why we've chosen our paths, we must find solace in the comfort of something calming, soothing and poignant.
It can be a walk to clear the mind, smooth music on iTunes, or some other respite. To me, these inspirationals - or mantras - help serve as guide posts along the frenetic path of work and life. What are yours?

Standing Meditation
Last year, I participated in a Tai Chi seminar with Chen Xiao Wang, one of China's Great Masters and a direct descendant of the legendary creator of Tai Chi, General Chen Wangting.
In this seminar, I really got that standing meditation with the correct posture is a profound and meaningful exercise that leaves you feeling energized, clear, quiet, focused, peaceful and balanced.
Practicing standing meditation for fifteen minutes or more a day will contribute to your well being and your ability to create and fulfill daily intentions with ease. You will experience deep levels of relaxation, chi (energy, life force) flow, and release of stress.
Standing meditation is simple, inexpensive to learn and very powerful. I learned this technique seven years ago from my friend and Tai Chi Coach Paul Viera. Below is a description on how to do standing meditation.
Standing Meditation Technique
Stand up in a relaxed manner.
Separate feet shoulder width, a comfortable distance.
Point both feet straight ahead and flat on the floor.
Feel stable, centered, rooted to the earth.
Relax your body (open, relaxed, calm).
Clear your mind. Notice and let thoughts flow like clouds.
Keep a gentle smile. Keep your head up and look forward.
Start with your eyes open, with a soft and wide angle focus.
Then close your eyes.
Breathe in and out in a relaxed, easy, and regular manner.
Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Keep your lips slightly parted.
Let your arms hang down in a relaxed manner at your sides.
Let the palms of your hands face your thighs, touching lightly.
Relax your shoulders and let them hang down.
Let your tongue lightly touch the roof of your mouth.
After you are relaxed, raise and extend your arms as if you are hugging a tree.
Now, scan your mind and body, notice any resistance that shows up (thoughts, pain, energy, tightness, worries, judgments, anger, etc.).
Just be aware and let go. Your attention should be 50% on your body and 50% in silence.
To learn proper standing meditation, hire a coach or participate in one of the Being Champion Workshop for Individuals.

The Winning Process
The current market situation in coaching spans the gamut from the independent consultant who specializes in coaching executives to address their own personal needs, to the full service firm that provides an array of business process management and services.
We provide an in-depth approach and a tailored solution for organizations and individuals. The Winning Process reestablishes expectations within an organization to include trust, integrity and fairness as part of the bottom line to building performance and mutual respect.
The Winning Process helps individuals maintain a state of balance so they can achieve their goals and Shared Vision. This process ensures continued growth.
BizChampions uses three distinct methods for actualizing possibilities. After we work with an individual or organization to create a Shared Vision, we take them to the next step by guiding them through Closing the Gap (CTG) Strategies and Coaching, our implementation process.
The Shared Vision is a program for building shared meaning that is centered around an on-going process whereby individuals or people in an organization articulate their common stories around vision, values, mission, and goals, including why their work matters and how it fits into the larger world.
This initial program allows individuals to invent a new future for themselves and their institutions that causes cultural change, resulting in new ideas, increased enthusiasm and innovation.
In our CTG Strategies sessions, games (action plans) are created for individuals and teams that move them forward in being their Visions now. The CTG Strategies format includes the following: Key Result Areas, Name of Game, Vision, Winning Accomplishments, Resources, Monthly Goals, This Week's Goals and Crucial Action Steps.
In the Coaching Process, we bring the individual's internal reality into alignment so they can work or live from abundance rather than just survival. As each individual transforms, the external elements of an individual or company changes, leading to breakthrough results that are achieved within a short time frame.
As we work together to attain desired outcomes, key leaders are trained in all newly-implemented systems and in leadership skills that create powerful results. Our professionals are available to coach or consult individuals or teams on an ongoing basis.
