Shine your Light,Laure

I am excited to announce that I am putting together a new kind of Group Repatterning. I have combined two of my favorite health modalities, training for, and completing, a short "sprint" triathlon ( for our physical well-being) and Resonance Repatterning ( for our mental well-being).

I was a running coach for the Austin Fit Marathon Training Group and have completed a half-dozen sprint triathlons, five marathons and dozens of 30k and half-marathons. I took a break from competing in races to focus on my Alternative Health Practice and now that my business is doing well I am ready to combine my two passions.

About Repatterning

If you have not experienced a Resonance Repatterning or a Group Repatterning, please go to services.life-spotter.com to get a better understanding of how repatternings will help you remove mental and emotional blocks, change your perspective and enable you to set and achieve goals giving you a higher sense of balance and well-being.

In the Group Repatterning we will uncover and transform issues in your life that block you from living your full potential in yourself, in your relationships, at work and mostly in your vital health. Anything going on in your personal or professional life can interfere with your training and prevent the best possible outcome at the triathlon. Eliminating those blocks will help you maximize your potential in the race and every aspect of your life will benefit.

About The Program

This will be an eight-week program with a weekly two-hour Group Repatterning on Monday nights and a two-hour Saturday morning group training session. Participants will be provided a simple schedule to train on their own during the week resulting in a total time commitment of a maximum of only seven hours a week. The program will start on Saturday June 5th and finish with the race on Sunday August 1st. See below for more details on locations, times etc.

This program is designed for everyone, first time triathletes or those who have already done a triathlon and want to improve their results. If you can run, swim and ride a bike and follow a training program, you can finish a sprint, regardless of your pace or skill level. For training sessions, I will provide route maps and if you want to run or bike ahead, feel free to do so. I will always be in the back of the group to support, encourage and pull up the rear.

Our Training Schedule

The 1st week of training is listed below and will require 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours total training. We will add time to our training gradually each week making the 6th and 7th week 4 to 4 ½ hours of training. The last week we'll taper off to a 3 hour workout week to rest up for the triathlon.

Monday: 15 to 30 minutes at your weakest sport; run, bike or swim
Monday Evening: 7:30 to 9:30 pm Group Repatterning
Tuesday: 15 to 30 minute run/walk
Wednesday: 30 to 45 minute bike
Thursday: 15 to 20 minute swim-rest-swim, 25 minute run/walk
Friday: Rest Day - or- 1 hour of strength training, yoga, walking, hiking etc. anything but run, swim or bike
Saturday: Group training of 20 minute swim-rest-swim, 30 minute run/walk
Sunday: Rest

The Triathlon

We will be doing the beginner-friendly Jack's Generic Triathlon (www.jacksgenerictri.com) on Sunday August 1st. It is a 500 meter (1/3 mile) swim, 13.8 mile bike and a 3.1 mile run. It is a fun triathlon and great if this is your first tri. It is held at the Texas Ski Ranch off I-35 near New Braunfels. For those of you who not fond of open water swimming we can repattern around your fear and there are people in kayaks life-guarding on the small, man-made lake so you can swim up to and grab hold of their boat to catch your breath or rest.

The Basic Things You'll Need

You'll need a bike, certified helment, swim goggles, swim suit, running shoes and water bottles. You don't need a fancy road bike. The great staff at Jack and Adams Triathlon say they have seen people on mountain bikes, road bikes and every bike imaginable competing in this beginner-friendly triathlon. It just needs to be road worthy.

Your Investment

Eight Group Repatternings plus eight weeks of coaching $200.00. (due May 31)

Additional costs:
Registration Fee for Triathlon $ 85.00.
One Day USA Triathlon Fee $ 10.00
( This race is sanctioned by USA Triathlon. It is the official governing body for triathlons in the US and will be maintaining order and safety for the event.)

I am limiting the group to no more then 8 people. Please call 512-947-6115 or email me at groups@life-spotter.com as soon as you have decided to make the commitment.

I have to say that one of the most rewarding experiences I have had in my life is training and completing a race. It built more than confidence in me, it made me feel I can do anything I put my mind to. An even more rewarding experience for me was coaching and watching others train and complete a race, and seeing them experience the exhilaration and sheer pleasure of accomplishing something they put their time and work into. Adding Group Resonance Repatterning to a goal like a race... Wow! The Sky's The Limit!

If you have any other questions call 512-947-6115 or email me at groups@life-spotter.com. I am happy to be of service to you

As we say in racing... “See You At The Finish Line”

Hello Everyone,

The Group Repatternings are progressing quite nicely with a core group that attends almost every session. I love having others join in when they can and greatly appreciate all of you for what you bring to group.

I have been moved to go a new direction in the next series of Group Repatternings. I personally am feeling a lot of transitioning going on outside of us ( economic, political, environmental, etc.) as well as in our personal lives. I see this as an opportunity to take a quantum leap and resonate with the positive changes that such a transformational time can offer us and our world as we know it. My intention for the Group and this series is to see things from a New Perspective.

I have set the next series of 4 Group Repatternings to be a little more in depth and detailed, while maintaining flexibility in order to properly serve everyone. Two of the repatternings will be pre-selected and two will be determined by muscle checking what the group needs at that point. For this series I am requiring you to bring a notebook and pen, because we will be doing more individual work in the group setting and you will want to write some details down. There will still be the integration time at the end of each session so feel free to bring a yoga mat or something to lie on.

This should be fun and chock full of enlightenment as we discover our selves and our world from a New Perspective.

Email me at groups@life-spotter.com if you would like to reserve a spot. Reservations aren't necessary, but it helps in preparing the space and staffing assistance. If you cannot make a commitment at this time let me know if you still want to receive the reminders and I will put you on the reminder list.

Let's Continue To Use Our Inner Light To Show Us The Way,
Lauren

Hello Friends,

I am offering a series of 4 Holiday Group Repatternings at the wonderful Casa de Luz, beginning Wednesday, November 18th, 2009. The sessions are every other Wednesday, from 7-9 pm. (We will skip the week between Christmas and New Years, moving the 4th Group Repatterning to January 6th 2010.)

For the holidays, I chose specific repatternings that will help us deal with the sometimes overwhelming stress of family functions, travel and economic burdens associated with the season. You can come to one or all. Here's the schedule, details are listed below.

Holiday Group Repatternings

• Wednesday November 18th : Abundance Repatterning
• Wednesday December 2nd: Co-dependence Repatterning
• Wednesday December 16th: Struggle for Power Repatterning
• Wednesday January 6th : Balancing Give and Take Repatterning

Doing group work harnesses the power of the “collective us” -- we can do it, we can cooperate, we can combine our talents, ideas and abilities and create something greater together. It stands on its own in empowering us all, or is a wonderful complement to individual work as well.

Email me at groups@life-spotter.com if you would like to reserve a spot. Reservations aren't necessary, but it helps in preparing the space and staffing assistance.


Let's All Keep Shining Our Light,
Lauren

I woke up a little before 7 am with the words in my mind clear as a bell. I promote happiness. It's a bit early for me to be getting up but felt that these words must mean something really important. Then I thought, this is it! This is the first thing I need to blog about on my new website. I was so excited that I flew out of bed and immediately sat down at the computer to write my first entry. I've watched the computer technology boom up around me for a long time. And clients, colleagues and people I met would always ask me, " do you have a business card, do you have a website? " " I do not ", I would reply and dodge the why nots. Then as I investigated this internally I realized I was looking at all of that as self promoting which felt egotistical, so I was resisting it. As I did many self sessions to clear this old belief (that having cards or a website felt egotistical) I changed my perspective. I began to see it in a new light - I promote happiness, not myself. This felt right on for me and that's when I knew this is how I would launch my website.

I was exposed to the concept of positive thinking and spiritual needs around age 12. I would journal my feelings and read anything I could about spiritual meaning and positive mindset. Looking back on it now I know it's what got me through some tough times in my life. In my late 20's early 30's I was in therapy, went to workshops and read anything I could get my hands on. I would try anything for I was a seeker. I remember hearing people talk about how you have to go through a lot of turmoil, go into the dark night of the soul, or a healing crisis in order to be reborn into salvation. This did not sit well with me. I heard someone say that you can't just have a spiritual bypass. And I thought "why not?"

This is when my search went from outside of myself to inside myself. If I was going to find that spiritual bypass it had to be inside myself. In retrospect, I found that in order to get through the dark night of the soul or the things that were happening outside of myself that I was convinced put me there, I had to look within to see why I allowed myself to be so unhappy. No doubt it was the way I perceived myself, how I reacted to my external life and my choice to be unhappy. This lead me to receiving Resonance Repatterning in 1997. RR as we call it, showed me that when I changed my perspective, I could look at myself and the world around me with a feeling of happiness because I was learning something new. Thinking that I was learning something new was somewhat of a positive diversion from focusing on what was wrong in my life, and I began to focus on what was good about my life.

I am no different than anyone else in that I have my challenges, my good times and bad. I found my spiritual bypass - which is, I choose to be happy with my present moment because it is bound to change and get better. Always has and always will. In Access Systems they say when you are in a place you don't want to be in, ask yourself, "How could it possibly get better than this? " If you are in a great place in your life ask, "How could it possibly get better than this? " Either way, your attitude is going to be challenged to prove to yourself ( I'll show you ). When you choose to be happy, things in your life look better and from my experience get better. To me happiness is our ability to change our mind.

I am a Life-Spotter, I stand behind you, to guide and assist you, as you improve your life. I Promote Happiness.
