ImageMidlife offers us an often unsolicited opportunity for personal transformation.  As every one of us can testify, either from our own experience, or vicariously, many adults in America are handed this chance-in-a-lifetime through circumstances that are less than optimal. 

I’d like to suggest looking at this life passage with a glass half full – as a mid-life prospect – instead of half empty –  as a time of crisis.  The quickest way to make the turnaround from empty to full is with a change of perspective.  Nothing is more invigorating to personal transformation than inspiration.
My partner Michael and I have recently begun collaborating with a couple of dynamic consultant/personal coaches, Mary Boardman and Ravi Walsh, whose titles I’ve morphed to personal enrichment therapists.  Together we are working to blaze some new trails in the business landscape, to introduce tools to help individuals fully integrate the spiritual element into their work lives.

We’re finding that the individuals who are open to a business dialogue that includes a spiritual element are usually people who have experienced a crash of some sort.  Welcome to midlife!  That glorious chance to re-examine all that which we’ve held dear and which may have kept us stuck for so many years!!

Quantum physics is providing the scientific community, the collective American Apollo, with information that supports ancient healing modalities borrowed from Eastern mystics and indigenous shamen.  And making it palpable, in fact, even appealing, to be invited into the business landscape.

We are so fortunate in our greater community to have a wealth of healers and therapists whose services can quicken this transformation – individually and at work.

Whether we integrate the knowledge and tools for personal growth in the board room, the break room, or at an off-site retreat, Baby Boomers are leading the charge of change!  With 50+million cultural creatives, the heightening of our collective consciousness is being supported by people who wish to add significant meaning to their lives in their work. 

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds:

Your mind transcends limitations,
your consciousness expands in every direction,
and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world.
Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive,
and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
