From Storm to Stillness

June 3, 2011 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt Leave a Comment
Cloud Feathers

A tickle in my throat last week has turned into a full-blown, all-consuming, unrelenting hack-a-thon. Days of waking up like it’s Groundhog Day: in a trash heap of sweat, cough drop wrappers, and remedies; mystified that this storm system, which has settled like a squatter in my throat and …

Year of the “One”

May 24, 2011 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt 2 Comments
111-1111

  111111. This was my odometer on May 29, 2011 on that dreamy day that Prince William married Princess Catherine (Kate Middleton).  I was driving to Connecticut to teach a four-day workshop called Your Amazing LIfe (which was every bit as amazing as it sounds). A few weeks later I …

Roomful…Of Dancing Trees

May 20, 2011 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt Leave a Comment
Gnarly Trees

All our window shades needed replacing in the living room. The resulting effect of a temporary half-curtain treatment has been a stunning revelation. What we see now is none of the usual (distractions?) of cars, or houses, or people walking by. Just the tops of everything. Nothing to see from my …

Managing the Mountain of Emails, One Minute at a Time

May 17, 2011 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt 5 Comments
mail

Another wise message from Joan Borysenko (via her Facebook page) on the subject of how she manages her email inbox: "Humbled once again. I just talked to a person who has 3600 unanswered emails, apparently business-as-usual. My own email is, in fact, quite easy to handle. I ignore much of it, …

“It’s Too Daunting”: Making Friends with Despair

April 22, 2011 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt 1 Comment
lightning-300x218

"I'm overwhelmed and exhausted." "It robs me of energy." "It's too daunting." I hear this a lot from folks for whom stress and stuff is their daily experience. Below is a partial thread of an email conversation that I had with someone recently who had just purchased my online course. She …

Neatniks Need Clearing Too

April 19, 2011 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt Leave a Comment
birds-smiling-300x226

Does the clearing ever end? One of my 30-Day email message subscribers recently renewed the series and shared these insights... "Thank you Stephanie. This [clearing] is a life long process. I realize. Hard to believe that is an epiphany. It now seems so obvious. I used to think that I'd …

Honoring the Clutter

April 12, 2011 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt Leave a Comment
Troll-Pig-300x225

"Embrace the beast inside you."–sbv This little troll pig became our clearing mascot at the last Your Spacious Self retreat I offered at Kripalu recently. Isn't she adorable? One of the ways we honor the clearing process, is to embrace the "beast." I ask participants to bring a small object …

The Courage in Letting Go

April 1, 2011 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt 2 Comments
Courage-Letting-Go

I just finished teaching another one of my fabulous retreats at the Kripalu Center where we spend two and half days embracing the myriad (excruciating and comical) ways we hold on to stress and clutter. We talk about how our stress and stuff makes us feel. We release it ceremonially with …

Appreciating the Simplicity

March 1, 2011 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt Leave a Comment
simplicity-300x201

  Even Oprah holds on to stuff ... and says it's time to have another garage sale. [Hmmm, wondering what an Oprah yard sale might look like.] In a recent article in O Magazine, she shares an ah-ha moment she had after an extended period of time living in a hotel room. Below is what she …

Your Spacious Self Online Course – A Testimonial... Hi Stephanie, Thank you! I'm so grateful for your online course (I'm at chapter 4).  I'm amazed at the insights I've gathered so far from my journal (fear has ruled me like a tyrant). But most of all, I'm grateful for the sense that with …
