Inspiration contagion

I caught a good dose of inspiration this week.  It started by my going to a one day seminar run by Nick Williams about 'Spiritual Intelligence in Coaching.'  It was a great day and appropriately much of Nick's work is based on the value of inspiration. 

I particularly enjoyed the guided meditation at the end.  If you haven’t experienced this before, just to say it might sound a bit weird but isn’t really, more relaxing and enjoyable than anything and helps you connect to a very creative and true part of yourself.   We were guided to visualise our future clients.  From nowhere a vibrant image of a waterfall came into my mind – it was refreshing and energising and I saw my future clients sources of tremendous energy and refreshment. Wonderful. 

When I got home I searched for images of waterfalls to keep this feeling alive.  By the usual weird and wonderful twists and turns of the internet I ended up on YouTube looking at and loving a particularly beautiful video of the ‘Havasupai Indian Waterfall relaxation video’ .  As I was in a very good mood by now I decided to buy it.  I’m glad I did as, to cut a long story short, it put me in touch with the person who made the video: David Huting.  This lead me to see his landscape photography on his facebook page.  I felt a complete woosh of inspiration looking at all this and I could tell from my dealings with David that here was a person who loved what he did.

I’d had the idea of collecting inspiring ‘affinity stories’ for a while but hadn’t acted on it.  I took a chance and approached David for his story which he willingly gave me.  The whole experience has been one of generosity and pleasure for both of us.  David enjoyed sharing his story and being reminded of how this could inspire other people and I gained a burst of inspiration which was gratefully received.  I hope his work does the same for you.  See David’s full story here.
