Taking time to reflect on yesterday. During the day I was such a mixture of nerves and excitement. All the hard work, all the technical challenges - not my favourite part - finally coming together to create a place for us to meet.
Logging into the control panel for the event it was wonderful to see people joining us.Checking on who was asking questions during the discussion with Raphael underlined for me that you do want to know how to deal with the challenges we face being heart centred writers.
I listened to quite a few of Raphael's recent series about Teaching What You Need to Learn. This featured spiritual teachers from many faiths and opened my eyes to some of their challenges. It's easy to think that because they are out in the world with that tag of being spiritual teachers and counsellors, they have all the answers.
Just as Raphael was prepared to share his vulnerabilities and issues, so did the people he interviewed and I listened to them much heartened.
As he said, living with an undercurrent of joy is one thing, but we still have to face daily challenges. Being able to rest on a secure foundation does mean that we recover faster maybe when we get knocked off balance.
That's a theme I think Sue Morter will talk about later. Looking forward to speaking to her.

Raphael Cushnir talking about emotional connection
On Writing From Your Heart tomorrow I'll interview Raphael Cushnir, a well respected author and personal growth coach.
His book The One Thing Holding You Back is a hands on, practical approach to dealing with emotions.
A large topic and one that threatens all our lives at some time as we stumble over unwanted emotions and become blocked by not letting them go.
What happens when we don't deal with emotion that hits us? Whether it's anger because we feel we've no control over our lives or grief at some loss of a person or position, not first acknowledging then clearing the emotion can result in physical and or mental stresses.
That pain in the neck you have at the end of the working day? Yes you might have sat in a draught at work... or it might be the result of unresolved conflict with a colleague.
It's a fascinating subject and I'm looking forward to learning from Raphael's experience with clients.
His techniques include the 2 x 2 process and one I love the sound of, cradling your emotions.
