This week we were excited to have a full studio with three wonderful guests! Audrey Slade with Young Issaquah Professionals, part of the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce, joined us to announce this month’s Cash Mob business. The Cash Mob program selects one business per month to “infuse with cash” and give devoted attention to. This month’s business is Sisters Antiques in Issaquah! Join Audrey and Kim Wednesday, May 23rd from 4-7pm to show support to this amazing business! Sisters Antiques: 615 NW Gilman Blvd, Issaquah, WA. For more information, click to go to the YIP Facebook Page!

We spent the rest of the hour talking with Kerry Beymer and Helene Wenting from Encompass in North Bend. Encompass offers a nationally accredited preschool, parenting classes, summer camps, and much more to children and families. Kerry teaches Parenting Counts classes at Swedish Hospital in Issaquah. These classes are free and there is childcare provided to those who need it. The next class is May 21st, so log on to www.encompassnw.org to register today! Helene told us about Sip Fest happening May 18th from 6:30-9:30pm at Pickering Barn in Issaquah, where parents over twenty-one can taste wine, beer, and food while enjoying a relaxing night off. We also learned a little about One Voice which will be taking place June 2nd. More details about all of these events and the wonderful programs Encompass has to offer can be found on their website, www.encompassnw.org.

For those of you that have taken the first of the Pathwise 10 Essentials, you know about Suspension of Attention. This concept explains the idea of grounding yourself in the physical world as a means to balance your thinking brain. It’s a form of active meditation that aligns the different inputs: fligh/flight or freeze; emotions; and cognitive thinking. By doing this, you gain more insigt and can react more appropriately during times of fear, ambiguity and stress. You will find a clarity and understanding of what the other person’s intention is, beyond what he or she is not saying.
.
We have very similar and repeatable physical patterns that emerge, when we are feeling threatened or have emotional unbalance. These physical patters, or “triggers” may be a tighness in the chest or jaw, flush face, or maybe even a nervous habit or desire to run away. All of these are clues from our primitive brain that we are in danger. The brain doesn’t know the difference between a tiger about to pounce, or your boss calling you into his office unexpectedly. However, you have a powerful tool that will keep you from diving into your self-preservation patterns that make innovation and creativity impossible.
.
Once you realize you are being triggered, then your response is to Suspend Attention. We do this by thinking about a body part, or connecting with our physical environment. Your homework for this month is to:
.
1. Recognize your trigger – How do you respond when things heat up? Do you know what you do next? Do you fight, freeze, flee? Just taking inventory is a huge step in recognizing and making conscious the patterns that may not have helped us the way we wanted them to in the past.
.
2. Practice Suspension of Attention by thinking of a body part. You can think of your foot on the floor, fingers touching each other, or anything that interrupts the pattern enough to give you and opportunity to assess the situation and CHOOSE a conscious (rather than unconscious) response.
.
Let me know how you do and share with us your experience of Suspension of Attention. Enjoy!

What a TREAT we had today to talk with a working actress about her one woman show, “Zelda”! We learned the amazing story of Flapper, Zelda Fitzgerald, who was married to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Denise gave us a beautiful performance from the play! Please help support the local (traveling) arts! Please help support her goal to take her show to Scotland’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Donate at http://www.indiegogo.com/zelda-by-william-luce. She only needs 120 people to donate $20 to take this there and live her dream! This is an amazing story!

We had the most wonderful visit with Rabbi Olivier Ben-Haim about Resillience Circles – A method of bringing the community together to solve a common set of problems, by leveraging the intrinsic values in each other. This was a wonerfully deep conversation with a very deep man! We also talked about the Jewish tradition and meditation. It was a wonderful lesson in something I never understood before.
