Hi. I’m Elizabeth Irvine. I’m so excited to be here with you for Big Picture Classes. I would like to introduce myself, tell you a little bit about what I do and what I can do for you through Big Picture Classes.

I think sometimes the best way to get to know someone is through a story and I would like to share a little story with you about a FedEx truck. So, when my children were little, I have three of them, so when the kids were little we used to play a game whenever we would see a FedEx delivery truck. On the side of a FedEx truck there is embedded in the letters FedEx an arrow that is incorporated into this logo and you really have to look at this logo in a different way to see past the letters and to find that arrow resting inside the logo. Well, my kids could always spot the logo and they would look at me and they would say, “Ah, mom, come on. You can’t see that arrow? You’ve got to be kidding.” Before I would even have a chance to look at it the truck would speed away. Well, lo and behold one day I was sitting at a traffic light in a long line of going no where traffic and what pulls up next to me, a FedEx truck. So I thought perfect, I’m just going to sit here, I’m going to relax, there is nobody to distract me, and I’m just going to see what happens. So I softened my gaze, I relaxed my body and I looked into the logo of the FedEx truck, into the logo embedded on the side, and lo and behold what emerges is that arrow, clear as day.

So for me, I wanted to share this story because it’s the same way, I really feel that it’s the same way with our health. It just takes that first time to get it, and then once you get it, it is the same idea with our health and wellbeing, that the way that we are in ourselves, that we are able to self-heal, we’re able to have more joy, more wellbeing, more compassion, more happiness every day. It’s always available to us, we just can’t always feel it, we can’t always see it. So that sort of in a nutshell sums up my philosophy of health and wellbeing. And yes, I am a registered nurse and I practice yoga and I am a yoga instructor. I’ve written three books and I have three kids. I’m really excited to share some of this information that I have with you about how to create more health and wellbeing in your everyday, and there are lots of fun things that we’re cooking up here at Big Picture Classes for you.

I look forward to speaking to you soon and sharing some of these techniques with you. Stay tuned and check it out as there’s lots more to come.
