~A Touch of Alchemy~
Notes and Musings 
from Stephanie Swafford
November 2014


Welcome --

"Begin at the beginning
and go on till you come to the end;
then stop."
(Lewis Carroll)


It's time to reframe the onerous "Square One".

"Well, we're back to Square One", as if all progress had been lost and effort wasted.

What if that's not the case at all?

What if all's not lost? -- at all?

What if it's just an indication that all's becoming
clearer?

For example, when I left my TV career, I was at a total loss -- not sure of what I was going to do or how I was going to do it -- let alone if I was capable of doing it: no next job, no prospects, no thought of what else I might do.

Back to Square One.

However, it was by "going back" to Square One that I allowed myself to take time, shift gears, listen to the whispers of possibility, and take my first steps towards Wellness. 

Ultimately, what I thought was Square One was actually one step closer to Body Alchemy.

Producer to Practitioner? Really?

This was not on my radar at all when I found myself at Square One. And yet, it was the step that created the step that created the step to The Healing Arts.

So -- "back to the beginning" becomes possibility, and when you find Your Self there:


Stop.

Breathe.

Remember: Square One =
One Step Closer to Resolution.



Let your Square One be your jump start for becoming who you've always wanted to be and ultimately, who you really are. 


"Don't let life discourage you;
everyone who got where he is
had to begin where he was."
(Richard L. Evans)

Body Alchemy -- My Work
The change in my Practice continues to evolve.

Immediate Reframe© offers a practical way of moving through a challenge -- by drawing on and refining the capabilities you already have (one step closer), rather than starting over with another new program or protocol (square one).

It combines the lean immediacy from my years in live television with the deep elegance of Energy Balancing so that you can move forward quickly and efficiently without a long drawn out process:

"Stephanie's got "get to it" savvy and the clear, concise approach of a rapid response team -- nothing extraneous, only that which moves wounded, stagnant, stuck places. I highly recommend her one-of-a-kind gift." (Reflexologist)

Here's to this different way of looking at/ being with/ moving through a challenge, so that you can
reframe your past, release your present and reset your future.


One more thing --

May we all continue to deepen our grace and clarity, breath by breath.


Enjoy!

More to come .....

Parting Reminder:


"We can always begin again."

(Sharon Salzberg)



Back to Square One / One Step Closer is just the same point on a long continuum, isn't it?

Until next time …….
