Holiday Magic

The holiday season can be challenging. This year is no exception. Third dimensional reality displays unsettled feelings about the economy, terrorism, and political infighting around the next election. If we aren’t careful, we can easily get pulled into the drama. In fact, many of us on our path to higher consciousness unconsciously allow the thoughts of the masses to influence our emotions. How many times to you find yourself sad or depressed for no obvious reason?

This time of year should be a time of joy and a time of renewal. Almost every spiritual tradition supports this, but where is this joy? Are you having difficulty decorating your house or buying holiday gifts this year? There seems to be a pervasive sense of lethargy hanging in the air. Even the sales figures for Black Friday weren’t up to expectations.

Let’s use our thoughts to become the change! We can create a truly great experiment together. Set aside a moment to go within to that place where love resides inside you. Look in that safe place where you store your treasures, right behind your heart. This is where you find the joy that can light up this holiday season for you, and when you flip that switch, you send your light out into the world so that others can see it and remember the truth about why we are here. It can become a domino effect. When we remember that joy is a vibration it becomes easier to connect with and activate that within. When we forget that joy is a vibration, we tend to forget that we have a choice in creating it.

The real purpose behind this holiday season isn’t the giving of gifts or the fancy parties. It is the remembering and rebirthing of your own personal truth. Who you are really is light, a reflection of Spirit who shines through you.

You are both unique and powerful as the creator of your reality, and this season offers you the opportunity to use your personal gifts to do just that. The magic of this season lies in our ability to create JOY. As you remember the feelings of joy, they become contagious, and you are able to share them with others. As you share joy, it grows within you, multiplying the energy of it. Enjoy this grand experiment by taking a moment each day simply to become joy and observe how your joy spreads.

FLEXIBILITY

I thought I WAS flexible! That is when the Universe decided to show me all the areas where I wasn’t. For several years I have dealt with knee pain and the inability of my right knee to bend past a ninety degree angle (can you say ‘inflexible’?) Over time I have tried many healing methods to correct this with little or no change.

Recently I was made aware of just how rigid I had become relative to schedules and my own timeframes when I was in charge of hosting a healer at my office. It seemed that every appointment was delayed, changed or conflicted, and I found myself getting more and more stressed, until the point where I just had to let it go. I gave up. In that moment I realized that each and every person got exactly what they needed when they needed it, and the only one who was stressing was ME. That’s when I realized the degree of inflexibility I had reached! In that moment, a physical change occurred in my body. While I still can’t bend my knee completely yet, I am now able to get it past that old ninety degree point. Who knows, maybe tomorrow I will be able to sit in the child pose and get back to my yoga practice!

Tied in with this lesson is the idea of complete surrender—I now call it ‘free-falling’. As I let go of my rigid thoughts about how things should be, I am freeing myself from the restraints I was placing on my reality and miracles are showing up, more and more every day!

Questions That Can Change Your Life

Did you ever consider that your life can be influenced by the quality of the questions you ask? Depending on what you ask and how you language the question can make a difference between a positive answer and a negative one.

For example, if you ask “why is everything going wrong?” rather than “what if everything is changing for the better?” you place yourself in a negative energetic place rather than a positive one. Where your attention goes, your energy flows, so if you are focused on the negative, that is what you will create in your reality!

Why not make your questions open-ended? This is a tool I was taught in my early days of sales training. We were told that the most important thing we can do is to listen to the customer, and ask open-ended questions. If you ask a yes or no question, you get a one word answer—very little information flows back to you. But if you ask a leading question, you open the conversation to allow the other person to tell you everything you need, and sometimes things you didn’t eve know you needed!

Here is how you can apply this tip to enrich and change your life for the better—begin every question with ‘What if…?” This opens the door for the Universe to bring you answers that potentially will exceed your expectations.

An example is “what if I could do ___?” Ask this question and listen for the answer. You just created space for being able to do whatever you were asking about without limiting yourself in any way!

Another way to use this tool might be to ask “what might be the result of____?” or “how could I benefit from doing____?” All of these questions allow you to ponder possibilities.

I suggest that you set aside time every day to work with questions. Use your journal.Get into a quiet space where you have about ten minutes and won’t be disturbed. Write one of these questions (or something that is appropriate to where you are in your life at that moment). Then sit quietly with that until you get an answer. The response might come in the form of a ‘bright idea’, or a fleeting thought, but you might look up and see a sign on the side of a passing truck that gives you the inspiration you were looking for. Don’t limit yourself or the Universe—be open to all possibilities. Give yourself permission to expand!

JOURNALING - ! A GREAT TOOL FOR CONSCIOUS GROWTH AND CREATION!

One of the most powerful tools we can use for personal growth and conscious creation is absolutely free—it only requires a pen and a notebook! Journaling is a great way to clear your mind, focus your thoughts and manifest what you desire. Here are some pointers to get you started, or if you are already journaling, to hone your skills and improve your technique.!

First, let’s examine the how’s and why’s of journaling. I suggest that you will achieve your best and most satisfying results if you do it longhand (hence the reference to pen and notebook), although many use the computer or free blog sites. Writing your  thoughts in a notebook with a pen or pencil engages both hemispheres of your brain in a more complete way than typing on a computer. I find it easier to journal in the morning, when my mind is fresh. Try making a commitment to yourself to do it every day. Julia Cameron, in her book The Artist’s Way, says to write three pages every day.That’s a great initial commitment.

When I first began journaling, I bought the smallest notebook I could find, because I was sure I wouldn’t be able to come up with enough words to even fill a page. Within a week I graduated to a college-ruled version so that I would have more room to chronicle my thoughts!

Why is journaling an effective tool? Where we put our attention is where our energy flows, and where our energy flows is what we create on the physical plane. Journaling focuses your thoughts and gives you a channel for your energy. One important note here is to make sure that you don’t allow your writing to become a ‘bitch session’ however. Why? For the exact reason that journaling is such a great tool for manifesting! If you focus on what you DON’T like about your reality, you will just create more of that. Keep if positive. Even in the suggested topics that follow, you can explore seemingly negative areas of your reality in healthy ways allowing for inner healing.!

Here are some suggestions for topics you can use to get you started:!

1. Who Am I Really?!
2. What Are My Core Negative or Limiting Beliefs?!
3. If I Had 5 Imaginary Lives to Lead Now - What Would They Be?!
4. Who Are My Poisonous Playmates? (Friends who squander your time and energy) and why have I allowed them to stay in my life?!
5. Who Are The Crazymakers In My Life? (People who a.) control you; b.) break deals & destroy schedules, c.) discount your reality; d.) create blame and drama; e.) hate schedules and order except their own) and why haven’t I fired them?!
6. List 20 Things I Enjoy Doing. Next to each one put a date that reflects the last time you did each one.!
7. What Am I Angry About?
8. What Am I Ashamed Of?

Finally, close each day’s entry with something I call Attitude of Gratitude. List at least five things you are grateful for at the moment. This is probably the most important thing you will do. Focusing on your blessings creates even more of them!

RELATIONSHIPS 101 – Relationship With Self

This will be the first blog in a series on relationships. Today I want to discuss why the first relationship we should consider is the one with ourselves. In reality it’s the only relationship where you have any control!

Do you really know yourself? What is your TRUTH? What are your core values? As you ponder these, drop into your heart and dig deep, because the answers to these questions are the basis for building the foundation with a healthy relationship with Self.

It’s impossible to have a healthy relationship with others (lover, business partner or friend) until you create this first in your own energy. Why? Because you will attract to yourself people who have the same vibration as you do—and that means you will attract folks who also don’t know who THEY are! Second, it’s impossible to be in integrity unless you know your truth, because you can’t live it unless you are self-aware!

To prove this point, take some time to evaluate the relationships you have attracted in the last few years. I’d be curious to know what you find, so drop me a line and let’s get to work!

Find The Joy In The Holiday Season!

Holidays can be difficult times for many. This year is no exception. Third dimensional reality displays unemployment, sickness, and governmental upheaval. If we aren’t careful, we can easily get pulled into the drama. In fact, many of us on our path to higher consciousness unconsciously allow the thoughts of the masses to influence our emotions. How many times to you find yourself sad or depressed for no obvious reason?

 This time of year should be a time of joy and a time of renewal. Almost every spiritual tradition supports this, but where is this joy? Are you having difficulty decorating your house or buying holiday gifts this year? There seems to be a pervasive sense of lethargy hanging in the air.

 Let’s use our thoughts to become the change! If everyone who reads this blog participates, this could be a truly great experiment. Set aside a moment to go within to that place where love resides inside you. Look in that safe place where you store your treasures, right behind your heart. This is where you find the joy that can light up this holiday season for you, and when you flip that switch, you send your Light out into the world so that others can see it and remember the truth about why we are here. It can become a domino effect.

 The real purpose behind this holiday season isn’t the giving of gifts or the fancy parties. It is the remembering and rebirthing of your own personal TRUTH. You are both unique and powerful as the creator of your reality, and this season offers you the time to use your personal gifts to do just that – to create JOY. As you remember the feelings of joy, they become contagious, and you are able to share them with other. As you share joy, it grows within you. So take a moment each day to become joy.

And just in case I don’t tell you enough, I am deeply grateful to each of you for the joy you ignite within my heart and in my life. Thank you!

Abandonment

Abandonment is one of the deep-seated fears that many of us hold. It’s been reinforced by wounding from people, places and situations over time to the point that like a thorn in our finger, we go to great lengths to avoid touching anything, in order to keep from stimulating that wound and feeling the pain again.

 Abandonment is an illusion that began when consciousness took motion or became. Everything is just energy. We all know that. But it is merely potential until motion is interjected into the equation. That is what (meta)-physicist Albert Einstein discovered many years ago. When the energy of consciousness took motion and became form, we appear to have reacted to this. Again, the laws of physics say that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

 Some souls, probably not all because not everyone seems to deal with fear of abandonment, chose to perceive that we were being abandoned by the Creator. Another way we could have looked at this would have been that we were being set free by the Creator to play in the park and enjoy that freedom. Do you see this dichotomy?

If you, like me, have been dealing with fear of abandonment, I suggest that it is time to explore the possibilities that what we might have thought of as reality might just be a mis-perception!
