I have worked in a nursing care facility as a RN, with the elderly community.
The reason I am telling you this story is because for the first time in my life after 21 yrs of nursing I was feeling overwhelmed with all the corporate paper work they kept piling on us.
Giving out 15 pills to one person in the am does not align with me anymore. I was not enjoying my job, which was very unusual for me.
I wanted my coaching business now.
Reality showed that now was not the time.
I thought what am I doing? I want to teach people how to stay in the flow of the moment and here I am feeling stuck, frustrated and miserable.
So I got back to the grass roots and asked myself, why did I get into nursing in the first place?
That is easy. For me, it is the heart to heart connections with people that lights me up and fills my heart with passion and love.
So what I started doing that connected my heart to their heart was, to dance and sing while giving out the pills.
I was no longer overwhelmed with the increasing amounts of paper work that were not going away anytime soon.
I am in the flow again from that point on.
I sing a song to the tune of (my little baby loves shortn'in, shortn'in) as I do a little belly dance, free style mix;
"Every little cell in my body is healthy, every little cell in my body is well. I can tell, every little cell, every little cell in my body is well. I can tell every little cell, every little cell in my body is well."
I know that in that very moment every little cell in every bodies body listening was healthy.
Everyone glows and is so alive.
I got requests every day to dance by my Residents and by staff members.
It really is a precious moment and I love the memories of what some will shout out,
"Oh, your so beautiful!" said, from a little lady with dementia that barely expresses herself any more.
It was the cutest sound of bliss and joy that made every cell in my body smile.
I know the flow of chi floods my body and fulfills me with Divine love in those moments.
They (the elderly residents) give me back more than I give them.That is for sure.
Such sweet souls that I got to know and make a positive difference for before they go home.
