I was very intrigued to explore this concept of sharing a combined energy among all the participants with Spirit as a main component working on our behalf. After only 2 weeks I started seeing dramatic results. I am certain this is the result of attending the weekly MasterMind group and being able to discuss, set and share our goals and intentions together. I&#8217;m so glad that Sandy invited me to participate. So, if Sandy has invited YOU, I highly recommend that you listen up and give it a try!</em></p>

<p>Happy New Year!</p>
<p>In the past few months I have formed two MasterMind groups. Participants of these groups are experiencing real and profound changes in their lives. I&#8217;m really excited to see all of this progress, so I wanted to open up the opportunity to more people.</p>
<p>The idea behind these groups is really very simple. I believe very strongly in the law of attraction. You are undoubtedly aware of this simple and yet profound concept. That&#8217;s what &#8216;The Secret&#8217; was all about, as are many other books, movies, etc. Basically, it is this; what we think about and put our attention on comes to exist in our life. That means that we are co-reating our lives along with the Supreme Being, moment by moment and that we have the ability to change our lives as well. This is the point of the MasterMind group. We gather together to learn about what we would like to change or bring about in our lives. You will learn to re-frame your thoughts and speech in a positive manner so that you are truly asking for positive change. For example, you may come to the gathering concerned about bills and debt. The discussion will not focus on these bills and debt, but will instead gently guide you to think about financial freedom. Subtle but very different. As a group we will hold intentions for these changes to take place in one anothers lives.</p>
<p>Each of us is very powerful and has the ability to bring about tremendous change in our lives. When we gather to co-create together along with our Creator, we exponentially increase the power of our minds, we are forming the MasterMind which is much more powerful and effective than any one of us alone.</p>
<p>I refer to Creator, Supreme Being, God, Universe, Spirit, etc. often during these gatherings. While no religion is suggested or required for these gatherings, I want to be clear that this is a very spiritual endeavor. You may of course be any religion or none at all to participate, all are welcome. But it is important to know and understand that these groups are intended to work hand in hand with our Maker.</p>
<p>These MasterMind groups are capped at four (4) participants, so that there is plenty of opportunity for each person to speak and be heard during each weekly two (2) hour gathering. I will be there as coach and facilitator during each gathering. After each meeting you will receive an email detailing the intentions which we will hold for one another during the upcoming week.</p>
<p>The requirements are very easy.<br />
Sign-up for online materials, cost is $27. so that you have access to each weekly lesson at www.masterminding101.com<br />
Meetings are held at my space every week<br />
The most important requirement &#8211; an open mind and an open heart</p>
<p>The monthly fee for participation is $75. During this 12 week process you will receive unlimited coaching support via email.</p>
<p>I have three slots available for these groups. Monday afternoon 3-5, Tuesday afternoon 12-2 and Wednesday evening 6-8.</p>
<p>To register online visit http://www.sandywalden.com/workshops.php. Or call or drop me a line via email.</p>
<p>I look forward to taking this journey with you as you begin walking down this new path, creating your best life.</p>
<p>Namaste,<br />
Sandy</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a bit of feedback from David.</p>
<p><em>&#8216;My wife is in the first MasterMind group that Sandy Walden started and says it&#8217;s the best group of gals she&#8217;s partnered with in a long time &#8211; if ever.  Pat says it&#8217;s good for her and praises it highly. And when Sandy said she wanted to start another group I was right there signing up.</em></p>
<p><em>At our second meeting the group agreed there might be a better way than chasing after business, and running around to networking groups, etc. We thought it would be desirable to have people come looking for us and our services. Less than 48 hours after we decided that and put that intention out there, I got three calls with new business; a call out of the blue, an opportunity to team up with someone that had been meaning to call me and an offer to do a second project with a fairly new client.</em></p>
<p><em>Amazing!&#8217; </em></p>

<p><a href="http://www.sandywalden.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/DSC00982.JPG"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-360" title="DSC00982" src="http://www.sandywalden.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/DSC00982-225x300.jpg" alt="DSC00982" width="225" height="300" /></a>Do you take the time to relax? Do you allow yourself the time to truly rejuvenate? Do you know how to really recharge your batteries? What works for you?</p>
<p>We live in a society that appreciates and values the 80 hour work week. We applaud those who are workaholics, talking about the amazing work ethic and dedication. But if you are working that 40+ hour work week, are you truly being your most effective?</p>
<p>When I work with clients as their holistic life coach or as their <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Reiki</span> master my main goal is to help them find the best balance for their lives.  It seems to be well and easily understood that &#8216;other people&#8217; are more effective when they&#8217;ve had rest, some time to rejuvenate. Often these same people need to really think about it to realize that the same rules do govern their own lives. We think better, listen better and make calmer more rational decisions when we are not stressed.</p>
<p>What works for you? Do  you know? I have several outlets. Walking with my dog Indy puts me in a good mood. I find working in the perennial gardens absolutely refreshes me, it allows me to feel creative, to see beauty and to appreciate the process of growth and change. Going to our home at the lake is amazing for me. Simply the act of approaching the house and unlocking the door begins the process of melting any stress that I feel.</p>
<p>Of course there are other ways for me to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">de</span>-stress and rejuvenate. Meditation even for a few minutes helps me to remember that there is time enough for everything that is truly important. Giving or receiving <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Reiki</span> is very powerful for me. I find that my body feels more at easy, my mind lets go of nagging worries and my spirit feels lighter.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not all about getting for me. Giving <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Reiki</span>, especially to animals offers me a wonderful lift. I feel a strong connection to my dog Indy and love to offer him <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Reiki</span>. Likewise, time spent offering <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Reiki</span> to my gardens helps me tremendously and I know that offering the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Reiki</span> to pets or the earth offers them amazing benefits.</p>
<p>My point is that when we take time to rejuvenate ourselves, either by relaxing or by simply allowing our mind, body and spirit to play a bit we find ourselves feeling more balanced. Work is more productive, time with family is more manageable and enjoyable. Balance, balance, balance.</p>
<p>While it&#8217;s true that I remind my life coaching clients as well as my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Reiki</span> clients of this simple fact regularly, I sometimes have to remind myself as well. It turns out that I&#8217;m pretty human, I get busy and need to be reminded that it&#8217;s not only okay to take care of myself, it&#8217;s to the benefit of myself, my family and my clients.</p>
<p>For today, I encourage you to find even ten minutes to do something that just makes you smile. I promise that it&#8217;s worth it.</p>
<p>Wishing you a fabulous few minutes just for you. As for me, it&#8217;s time to go and walk in my gardens and offer them some <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Reiki</span>. They&#8217;ll benefit and so will I. Who could ask for more?</p>
<p>Warmly,<br />
Sandy</p>
