How to Play a Gratitude Golf Game

To play the gratitude game

1. Imagine approaching your playing partners and saying “I would like your help to play a grateful golf game the first day of spring and for all of us to focus on what we are grateful for while playing the round.”

2. Your gratefulness can begin at home, by contemplating on what you like about your golf equipment. Then at the course, what do you like about the clubhouse, the course, what do you like about your playing partners. Look for the good and you will see it reflected back.

3. A great way to begin your day on the golf course is to bow to Mother Earth. This way we humble ourselves before her to teach us the lessons for the day. This is a similar act in Martial Arts the opponents use they bow to each other before they begin. Although we don’t view the golf course as an opponent, but as our teacher and playing guide. We can use a yoga move called the Yoga Mudra pose to set the intention of the day. To others it just looks like a pre-game stretch but it is the beginning of sacred play. We bow forward and silently say Thank you to Mother Earth for the opportunity to play upon her.

4. Think about how children learn, by playing games, this does not stop ever, but we view ourselves as adults and we need to be serious, let that go for one day. Take Golf seriously, but yourself lightly. Golfers are very lucky to continue to learn by playing. Golf, just like life, is filled with paradoxes and a lot of the time we only need to change our perception to be happier and more grateful.

For instance instead of viewing the sand and water as obstacles this day. Another way to view them is an opportunity to play better golf. If you land in the sand, you can say “I am grateful for the opportunity to practice with my wedge.”

5. The breaking down of negative habits will not be accomplished with one game, so please be gentle with yourself if they do come up.

As a reminder to yourself, know that the willingness to play a gratitude game is more important then the overall outcome. When we are grateful, we prove to ourselves we are FULL OF GREATNESS, and you are one step closer to becoming your own encouraging coach.

If the weather, work or some other reason prevents a day of playing or go to the Driving Range- Make an imaginary golf game Gratitude list. And reread it before you play your first game of the season.

March International Women's Month- Free Gift

March 9, 2009 by golfgoddess |

Did anyone celebrate women or themselves March 8th ? Did you know it was International Women’s Day? Women have had March 8th dedicated to them since 1996. I wasn’t aware of this fact until a few years back. Check out the website for this years theme and how it is celebrated all month long.http://www.internationalwomensday.com

Today, began with me giving a gift to my Facebook Group “How to Become a Golf Goddess” -Discover a Sacred way to play and now I am extending the gift to all my media sources. The gift is based on my own personal IWD Theme.

Theme -Discover how 2009 can be sublime while connected to the Divine.

My Gift for all you wonderful Women-May these creative visualizations help you as a beginning step to fully becoming the Co-Creators that you truly are! I share a CD I created that is now on Mp3 and was the bases for my Transformation into living in the Divine Magic of Mother Earth I will be sharing the Amazing Journey throughout March.

You will find at my website-
http://www.golfinggoddesses.com/about.html On the page,Just scroll down until you see the C.D cover Meditation Steps to your Hearts Desire and then click on numbers 1 to 4 or the title. This CD was created in 2002 a few months after I used the principles to open my Yoga Studio…I used and still use each of these recordings since that time to live, work, and play in the Flow of the Laws of Attraction and the Path of Least Resistance. All four tracks are wonderful although I would like to particularly like to draw your attention to track number two,Releasing Blocks is the original title- It is a timeless creative visualization that addresses Fear. I have learned we have many degrees of Fear at different times in our lives. At the moment the collective consciousness is going through the fear of transformation. As someone who has walked through the darkness and fear many times I am here to share that it is an Amazing Journey and there is Bliss in the light At the end of the tunnel.

*****Transformation-******** The great loneliness - like the loneliness a caterpillar endures when she wraps herself in a silky shroud and begins the long transformation from chrysalis to butterfly. It seems that we too must go through such a time, when life as we have known it is over - when being a caterpillar feels somehow false and yet we don’t know who we are supposed to become. All we know is that something bigger is calling us to change. And though we must make the journey alone, and even if suffering is our only companion, soon enough we will become a butterfly, soon enough we will taste the rapture of being alive.”

Encouraging more women to play golf

I am pleased to announce this book will be released this Spring 2009:

How to become a Golf Goddess; Embrace Sacred Play and Unlock the Hero within.
This book is not only a practical How to Manual for Women that draws from a decade of teaching my unique programs, Yoga for Golf and Goddess Yoga but it is also part biography.
It describes how I, an ordinary woman have had extraordinary experiences with the Divine Feminine and the ways I have found to become my own best friend and to find the courage to follow the Divine even when my logical mind was screaming at me to get back into my head.
How I have eventually fallen in tune with existence through many tests and trials which has lead to finding my own particular and unique way of expressing my gifts (in ways that have never existed before) through connecting the Divine Feminine energy to the game of golf.

For a sneak preview I have started a Facebook Group, which has the Table of Contents of the 9 Goddesses, Book Endorsements, Being a Green Golfer for the environment and more.

This book is based on Alternative Golf Coaching which compliments Conventional Golf Instruction. It will SAVE you time and money since information on golf fitness, mind coaching, emotional equilibrum, and strength of spirit is scattered separately in many places; on the internet, in books, in DVD's etc. Now finally a program for the mind, body, spirit and heart will be offered in one convenient location.

Knowledge is power and you can become empowered with this knowledge!
Discover a new way to approach golf from a more heart-centered space developing more inspiring, meaningful and pleasureable games.(and lives)
