Pregnant “pause abilities...”

Pregnant “pause abilities...”

In the last 15 days, I have not posted anything, which is very unusual. 

If I look at the pattern until August, I've been posting at least two, if not three, weekly postings on LinkedIn, Medium, and other social media that I have access to... 

especially in the Transformational collective community. I have just completed a terrific six-month certification program with them. And now I'm reflecting on this question: 

What did the DCI program, which I completed over six months from the end of January 2024- till the certification was done on the 31st of July 2024, mean? 

What was the nature of this pause? 

When I think about it, it was a well-deserved pause preparing my mind for a new possibility. Let me call it pause-ability. 

One of the biggest takeaways from these six months of being part of the transformational coaching community and this particular program was an excellent reorientation to studentship. 

Over these last 40-plus years, I've predominantly been more of a teacher, trainer, coach, motivational speaker, and mentor. Those have been my roles, my work, my positioning. 

Yes, I have also been a student—searching for self-awareness or participating in skill-building or conceptual programs 

but this six-month orientation was a rigour of a different kind. 

There was a rigour of time discipline: doing homework, reading, responding, reflecting. It is great to enjoy that kind of studentship—the school kind. 

The advantages of a structured systematic approach, even in a “broadly” experiential learning field, are immense. The ability to appreciate structure and boundaries for a "romantic free-floating entity" like me... was very different, and useful. 

The most touching thing has been connecting with amazing human beings—not just in my cohort of DCI but in the larger TCC family. 

The abundant love from so many good hearts and caring individuals—the warmth, long distance hugs, hand-holdings, liveliness—has been incredible. 

The gift of being human in these forums has been awesome and I'm very sure it will continue. 

The other thing I feel excited about is the hint and hope of possibilities—the power of collaboration and holding hands together in pursuit of something greater: a movement to respond to the global hunger for a better world, human relations and a more self aware community across human collectivity. 

It's a vague idea but strongly felt deep inside my gut. Singing in my soul... 

Right now, it's like feeling a high school grader finishing his final semester examination —a well-deserved break. Yet there's missing the classmates—especially some of the sweethearts. 

But I guess it's a small break to stretch my legs and reflect on the experiences before the next push of possibility is felt on my back. It's a lazy break probably before another breakthrough. 

I will also confess that something amazing with many new connections happening and lively vibrations emerging 

with amazing human beings Alberto Garcia, Scott Perry... and Nic Peterson...awesome experiences over these last few weeks and are guiding the flow toward interesting meeting point of expressive potential. 

More than a push from the back, a spaceship grabbing me up-front and taking me into the outer space unchartered so far... 

So I’m gleefully waiting like a pregnant mother snoozing in a sunny afternoon...day dreaming.... 

waiting to give birth to a baby, soon —a new emergence into this world. 

Till the delivery time comes—till the pain of labor arrives.... let me relax, put my feet up, and enjoy this break. 

With you guys very soon. 

In Awareness & Love
