About Cycles of Change

“Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” -Marilyn Monroe

Change is our Nature

Change is “something” that we are  aware of on a daily basis – the something refers to our intimate, close and personal relationship to what is really an “experience”. Change is not a thing though things change. We have various cliches and expressions that reflect our beliefs about whether people can change and whether one person can change another.

Each of us probably thinks more about change than about anything else. Even though a part of us knows that the only thing that is constant is change, we often have a “love-hate” relationship with change. We “hate” it when we think it is disruptive and we stand to lose a lot of the comforts we have become attached to. We fight change when it seems that it wants to push us out to do things we want to believe we have never done before. We love it when it brings new love, windfalls of good fortune and new opportunities.

There are also those times when we may be feeling stuck, that we are repeating the same patterns over and over again – so even if one is in a different place, with different people under different circumstances, the experience seems to be no different. I call this “same-difference”.

There are also those times when we over-generalize and reduce everything to “one thing” – this happens when we pass judgment and label people, places, and events. This process of depreciation and reduction then perpetuates the things we no longer want in our experience. This constant and increasing focus and attention we give to the unwanted only serves to give permanent reality to temporary things.

Cycles of Change Coaching

This brings us back to cycles of change and what is it all about then… Change is not linear, it comes in waves and each change unfolds not in a linear but in a multidimensional way. Change can be represented as a circle – but a 3-D one! There is a transient beginning and once one goes through the fluid stages/flow of learning, expansion and growth, one always returns to oneself. The beginning and the end points meet in a much more expansive and enriched way and the ending becomes the new beginning to something/experiences that are even better.

Cycles of change is a companion to support you in your exploration and discoveries and appreciation even into the nature of change. Change is natural and your nature is change. Our beliefs about change hold our beliefs about ourselves, people, our potential, purpose, passion and everything else. What we believe about change determines the choices we make and what we believe is possible for us on both the personal and professional sphere – as well as the spiritual sphere.

This website can be seen as an ode to change, to flow and to our authentic and true nature. It will offer resources and practices that facilitate an appreciative inquiry into change and an appreciation of life itself.

Change One Thing

The weblog will support you as you notice that you have the power and the freedom and when you change 1 thing, on a minute level, you can change everything. Changing 1 thing can lead to radical changes. The intricacy of this is how to choose the things that make a difference. One’s aim is to reconnect with one’s inner wisdom and intuition so that one makes a change for a difference. Because changing the same thing (same difference) will keep on giving one more of the same.

Change is a Miracle

All change is nevertheless a miracle. What is a miracle? There are miracles that happen as synchronous events and seemingly from outside ourselves – a Divine intervention. There are also everyday miracles and these are the miracles of mind. When you change the way you look at something, what you look at changes. This refers to a change in perspective and is also called a miracle of mind. Such changes in perspective to a more creative, compassionate and appreciative perspective is what changes a burden into a blessing, an obstacle in to an opportunity and a challenge into a gift.
