Are you ready to become a Trim Tab?

In 1972, Buckminster Fuller was the first to identify the Trim Tab capability as a function that human beings can play in the world. In the world of airplanes and boats, a Trim Tab is a small surface connected to the trailing edge of a rudder on a boat or aircraft. It is used to control the trim of the controls, i.e. to counteract hydro- or aero-dynamic forces and stabilize the boat or aircraft in a particular desired attitude without the need for the operator to constantly apply a control force. The use of trim tabs significantly reduces pilots’ workload during continuous maneuvers (eg: sustained climb to altitude after takeoff or descent prior to landing), allowing them to focus their attention on other tasks such as traffic avoidance or communication with air traffic control.

Wouldn’t we all want to have some Trim Tabs in our lives!! No need for constant efforting! A support that you can count on so you attend to other immediate concerns!

You can!

There are several ways that we both use and are Trim Tabs in our lives.

First: As we seek to live more in our own truth and passion, we want to use activities/practices/resources that help us stay there – with as little constant efforting as possible. These “Trim Tab” activities, practices, resources help us make the changes that we want with less need for control and monitoring of our changes. I help my clients both to identify those practices, etc. and to plan how to integrate them into their lives, so that the changes become “who you are” versus “what you do.”

Second: When you vibrate in your own truth, your own uniqueness and perspective, you become a Trim Tab for others. When you live your passion and your life purpose, you are a trim tab for others. This is a fundamental truth…when you vibrate in your own truth, you change your energy field. This changes the experience of those around you, and most interestingly, it changes it forever for those who come after you…the children, grandchildren, the generations unborn. If we claim our power to be a Trim Tab, then we impact society and the world. It is time to claim our power and BE “who we are,” sharing our gifts with the world. It is time that we used this ability and co-created the world that we want for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren.

Through coaching, teaching and healing, I guide my clients through this process, so that they can proclaim just as Buckminster Fuller did, “Call me Trim Tab!”

What has this to do with you?

The human being is an integrated whole. We aren’t just our Body, or our Mind, or just our emotions and just our soul. We are interconnected whole. Each part affects and is affected by other parts.

We no longer can just pay attention to just our mind or our body.

We must attend to them all.

Why is that?

What we know is that we cannot grow in depth in any one part of these systems without a commensurate growth in other areas. Your growth in your favored area is limited by the lack of growth in the others. Sort of like a lopsided table.

The spiritual seeker must care for her body, stimulate her mind and listen to the language of her heart. The health focused seeker must attend to all aspect of health, not just food and exercise, but also that of mind, heart and soul; the intellectual must be to open to new ideas, new research that could change her beliefs. She must learn to listen to the wisdom of her body, her heart and her soul.
