Hello and welcome to five minutes in nature with me Liz Scott and I'm back home.
So I've left behind the sunshine of Spain,
The blue skies of Spain.
I've left behind the walks that I've had along the promenade beside the Mediterranean and instead I am back in the blowy windiness of the grey autumnal stormy day that I've just come back to and I feel quite excited if I'm honest.
I'm just about to go up a hill.
I'm up on Dartmoor as usual and I haven't walked up a hill for over a week now.
I'm just feeling really excited about stretching up over the hill and getting a view and just feeling like I'm back home again.
And today I would like to reflect with you on just you noticing your level of energy,
Your level to engage,
To be creative in the world and it doesn't matter where you are.
It's about you noticing your own energy levels and just being cognizant and aware of where your energy is and what kind of energy you have when it comes to expressing yourself in the world.
And I say this because I feel as though I am in such a different place.
You know that over the past few years I've been on an inward journey.
It's been a kind of a space of reflection,
Of hibernation almost,
Of regrouping,
Regathering,
Of being very present to not low energy but just a sense that my energy is reforming,
Is finding a new direction.
And now as I'm back I can't help but feel as though my energy levels match this very blowy day.
I feel quite excited at what's next for me and I've noticed that I have a real sense of wanting to get out,
Of wanting to engage,
Of wanting to continue to explore what it is I am offering in the world.
A lot of this is about women,
Older women.
I see that so clearly.
It's also about sharing the three principles,
The inside-out understanding,
More overtly about being clearer in what I see about the message of the three principles and how transformative it is for me and how transformative it might be for others.
I feel as though over the last few years,
Maybe the last decade,
I've been quite quiet about the three principles and the inside-out understanding and that's not been wrong.
There's nothing wrong with that at all.
It's just that I've,
I think I've been kind of trying it on for myself and I feel now in a space where it's like,
Do you know what?
This is something that is so important,
So important for the world to hear.
I want to share it in a more overt kind of way.
I don't know what that's going to look like.
I don't know how that's going to turn up.
I can just feel that energy within me that this isn't about me quietly moving through the world.
This is about me in my way and I'm never going to be noisy or shouty.
For me in my way to share and to be clear about what I feel is the thing that is missing for so many people.
So as I check my energy levels I feel this sense of excitement.
I feel this sense of wanting to be present in the world and to allow this energy to take form through me.
I'm curious how I will articulate in the world what I'm going to be saying,
How I might be speaking,
What might be different about the way I express myself.
I'm not going to push,
I'm not got any ideas,
I'm not going to practice being assertive or do anything that feels inauthentic.
On the contrary it feels as though I am looking within,
Feeling the energy within me and then express myself with that energy,
With that peace of mind,
That compassion,
That love at the center of everything I do and to speak and to say and to articulate so others are able to hear me.
So that's what I'm about as I check in with my energy levels and I'm really curious what that's like for you.
Where are you?
There is no right answer.
I'm not expecting you also to be in a similar place of energy,
Of feeling the energy and wanting to express yourself in the world.
What I am asking is that you check in.
Are you in a space where you're in a place of renewal,
Of hibernation,
Of looking within?
Are you in a place of reflection?
Are you in a place of activity,
Of action,
Of being in the world?
Are you in a place of creation,
Of forming and considering where you might go next?
I'd love to know where you are.
It would be so good to hear from you and to get a sense of what you notice about your creative energy levels and where you are at the moment.
