Who are you?

Who are you? Have you ever been asked that question or asked it of yourself? A few months back as a guest on Allie Cheslick’s Wings of Love radio show I was asked that very question and I gave the answer that I was prepared to give.

It was answer that I had rehearsed knowing Allie would ask me. My answer was “I am a spiritual being having a human experience.” There I said it! That is who I am!

I remember clearly as Allie said something to the effect of ‘OK that’s good but WHO ARE YOU..WHO IS DEBRA TAITEL AND WHERE DO YOU COME FROM ….REALLY?’ Honestly for a moment I felt like a deer in the headlights! How do I answer that?

I took a deep breath and immediately realized that I had never really talked about who I am and what it was like growing up being sensitive to energy with an awareness that was very different from those around me. I took my abilities for granted. Now I consider them a gift.

In my head childhood scenes started playing out. How many times had I rehearsed the answer I thought someone wanted to hear? How many times did I try to be like someone else or fit into a group because at some level I felt that “who I was” wasn’t good enough?

That radio show was pivotal in my growth and has allowed me to examine all those places and pictures that I was not only living from, but showing to other people. If you’ve ever asked why someone can’t see you for who you are, you may want to ask yourself if you are BEING who you really are.

Many people are awakening to who they are as spirit. You’ve heard the saying there is so much more to you than meets the eye. Well, I see a lot of people beginning to open their eyes to the “more”and in many ways it’s like awakening from a deep slumber.

Sometimes you need to yawn, stretch and contemplate if what you experienced in your “dream” was really true. If you get up too quickly, you can feel a bit dizzy but if you open your eyes and allow them to focus, then plant your feet firmly on the ground your awakening can be a beautiful epiphany with many more to come!

So WHO ARE YOU? Are you living life from your heart? Do you have a passion or gift that you’d like to share with the world but someone once told you that you weren’t good enough, you shouldn’t or couldn’t? Have you ever considered that who you’ve “tried” to be wasn’t really you?

Take a journey within and find YOU! Let go of the rest. When you live from the truth of who you are, you don’t need rehearsal…it’s just YOU BEING YOU and who you are becoming! 🙂

I AM Debra Taitel a spiritual being having a human experience and yes, there is much more to me than meets the eye! How about you?  WHO ARE YOU?~ Shine your light Debbie

Dance from Within!

Have you ever considered that you are a moving form of the most beautiful art on the planet? You have a physical body which is made up of chemicals and particles that have come together to create one being…YOU! All these little atoms and molecules unite with an energy of their own to create ONE. As with all energy in nature not every ONE is the same. These particles are unique not only in their own form but in how they come together to make a perfectly unique human being. You don’t see each little molecule when you look at someone, nor do you see the movement within. The heart beats, blood flows, breath brings oxygen to every cell, organs & muscles are all working. You don’t see this with the naked eye but you KNOW it’s happening! You don’t need to think about doing these things….there is no effort. The ebb & flow, at times in unison, creates movement within very much like a dance. There is a master choreographer who put together your physical body with its glorious inner movement and when you think about how amazing the body really is well…it’s a miracle and vision to behold!

You are made of energy in motion and the same is true with your spirit. The energy of your spirit is not only inside you but flows out and dances around you. The energy that surrounds you is known as your AURA. It is always in motion and is unique to YOU. Some can see it or feel it, others are aware of it, and some merely KNOW it is there. Your spirit energy is what animates the body and allows you to BE alive! It is who you are. There is truth and beauty in your spirit, it is vibrant and musical! When you can see it, feel it or merely become aware of it, that in itself creates a shift and changes not only your perspective but how others see you as well! If you’ve ever taken a moment to meditate, pray or to look inside yourself and just BE you may have noticed how you feel afterwards.  Each time you turn your attention within  a twinkling dance  begins anew! Your truth is alive in the ebb & flow of color and YOU become the CHOREOGRAPHER of that dance and indeed your life.

There really is a fine art to turning your attention within and bringing together body and spirit. After all, you have this amazing body and it’s equally amazing to BE in it! However, as with all forms of art, it may take a bit of practice to be able to quiet the mind. A nice example of this is the art of the dance. If you’ve ever seen a dance performance, what you see on stage looks effortless. The dancers create a picture of beauty  and movement that was originally in the mind of the choreographer.  BUT what you see may not have been the original picture or idea. There is a process that  is rehearsed and perfected until it’s very spirit comes alive on stage through each dancer. The choreographer may have started out with a vision of what they wanted to create but then, while creating it with the dancers and watching it come alive,  find there  is something they’d like to change. Maybe what they envisioned didn’t work, maybe it didn’t flow right, or maybe they discovered another movement that expressed a deeper meaning to the piece.  Has that ever happened to you? Once you began to create your vision, you wanted to change it for some reason?

The dancers on the other hand don’t just merely wake up in the morning knowing by osmosis what the choreographer has in mind. They also didn’t wake up knowing how to do each step, they must learn the steps and practice their art. They rehearse over and over. It’s interesting to note that what makes a great dancer is not just knowing the steps and doing them well. What makes a GREAT dancer is what THEY bring to the table. It is the part of their spirit that comes forth and shines through with each flowing movement! (I can tell you from personal experience that if you’ve never seen a brilliant LIVE dance performance you should! It is a spiritual experience just to watch!)

Now, getting back to you! 🙂 The art of quieting the mind and turning your attention within to find your vibration and flow may take some practice!  Especially since in your life, YOU are both the choreographer AND the dancer! You may be choreographing many things in your life. When you quiet the mind and just BE you can sit back and watch as what is not part of you falls away to reveal your true dance within! So often I hear that someone “can’t” sit still. Well, with practice, you CAN learn to quiet your mind. It might only be  minutes to start but in time 5 minutes turns into 10 and so on. It’s not always easy, like when learning a new dance step, but in time it becomes effortless if you practice and allow it to become a part of your daily life. With practice comes certainty and certainty allows trust that if something doesn’t work, you can change it yet again!

You truly ARE the choreographer of your life! You ARE the dancer! You get to choose the flow of your life by getting in touch with your inner BE ing, your spirit. You can dance to your very own essence! When you choreograph your own life you have the choice and free will to change what you would like to change. Whether it is thought, vibration, what you want, your life path, and even how you live your day-to-day existence. There is music in your being  and if you merely take a moment to listen…you can dance to the music of your heartbeat, your breath and your unique vibration within. Watch and experience your spirit as it dances in flowing movement in and around you. Notice the beautiful dance you are doing as the physical and spiritual parts of you come together and work in unison to create your life. Practice your art not to make it perfect but to see what works and if you desire….change the choreography! Thank you for reading my blog! Shine your Light~Debbie
